That’s correct, I also pay for their cheapest VPS, which is about $3, pretty good overall for my purposes!

What @AtariDump@lemmy.world said is correct, if it’s critical data, 3-2-1 is necessary. I personally use BuyVM as my offsite as it’s got pretty cheap storage (~$5USD/1TB/month), but if you’ve got family or friends with a decent internet connection, it’s trivial to set up a remote sync job to any offsite Proxmox Backup Server, perhaps on a box stored at their house.

Now, just to throw it out there, my actual ‘critical data’ is way smaller than my total backed up data, including my media library, random ISOs, etc. - it can be worthwhile to determine if you really need to backup everything offsite or if you can sort out some less necessary data, and only upload some data to a remote server. Maybe the answer is yes, and you’ll need to account for that!

If you go into the entity settings, you should be able to set an alias.

You got it! I should have included the link, sorry!

I’ve been experimenting with Hugo to make simple websites. It’s got a very minor learning curve, and plenty of templates to get you started. I like it!

Ya know, I have three Linux machines that play games and a steam deck. I have not seen a survey in a very long time. I wonder why?

This is Lemmy, not the other place. Please be kinder. No need to abuse people trying to help, especially when OP did mention they wouldn’t mind learning if its easy enough.

“As final thoughts go, ‘unicorns are real’ is one of the better ones.”

I’m self hosting this, and it works pretty well. It can be integrated with Google Calendar with some effort, and it works with CalDAV (which I’m using through NextCloud).

So…not maglev plates then?

No, they don’t, I pulled it out of my butt. I rewrote my original draft and that slipped in. NVME wouldn’t make sense unless you were powering them up every few months for updates.

If you buy your LTO drive new, then yes they rip you a new one, for sure! Buy it used…but it still will cost you a few hundred. Like I said, if money is not a concern. If losing the encryption key is a concern, then USB is still your best bet. Make two, keep them simple and unencrypted, stick em in two different safes, update them regularly. And print the documentation with pictures!

The other thing is if I get hit by a bus and no one can work out how to decrypt a backup or whatever.

Documentation, documentation, documentation. No matter what system you have, make sure your loved ones have a detailed, image-heavy, easy to follow guide on how restorations work - at the file level, at the VM level, at whatever level you are using.

That being said, DVDs actually have quite a short shelf life, all things considered. I’d be more inclined to use a pair of archival strength USB NVME drive, updated and tested routinely(quarterly, yearly, whatever makes sense). Or even an LTO tape, if you want to purchase the drive and some tapes.

You can put your backups in something like VeraCrypt. Set an insanely long password, encoded in a QR code, printed on paper. Store it in the same secured location you store your USB drives (or elsewhere, if you have a security posture).

You may also consider, if money is not a concern, a cloud VPS or other online file storage, similarly encrypted. This can provide an easy URL to access for the less tech-savvy, along with secured credentials for recovery efforts. Depending on what your successors might need to access, this could be a very straightforward way to log into a website and download what they need in an emergency.

Receiving signal up in low earth orbit! Congrats!

Sounds like you should get a basic low power linux box going!

Well mySQL certainly is not, I judge this to be a correct statement!

Can you share what the final desired goal is? It sounds like your goal is actually to provide your services to Bob securely over the internet, is that a fair description? You mentioned eventually grabbing a domain, how do you feel about publicly exposed services with authentication? For instance, I use authentik in front of Jellyfin and paperless myself for a little extra authentication juice.
