With restic you can pipe to stdin, so I use mysqldump and pipe it to restic:

mysqldump --defaults-file=/root/backup_scripts/.my.cnf --databases db-name | restic backup --stdin --stdin-filename db-name.sql

The .my.cnf looks like this:

[mysqldump]
user=db-user
password="databasepassword"

I find it very a very romantic notion to have unknown areas on the world. Like some desert in the far south, beyond which might lie anything.

I guess that does employ a whole bunch of people, but idk if it’s enough to raise the gdp per capita significantly.

Edit: also wrong country, the ESA center is in French Guyana.

In case you wonder about Guyana: they discovered a lot of oil in the 2010s.

FYI: if you run freebsd you are not affected: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-security/2024-March/000248.html

Took me a while to find out so I thought I’d share.

You can’t dedup/compress restic repos at fs level due to the encryption.

Nice thing is you get those even with „dumb“ targets that can‘t do those for you.

Restic is my tool of choice for deduplicated encrypted verifiable compressed incremental backups.

Emacs is, too, but I don’t bother having a proper editor set up. I won’t develop anything on that machine anyways.

The editor I use when I’m on windows by accident but still have to look at some text files real quick.

Bold coming from the top innovator of printer behavior that deserves hatred…

That trailer was released almost a year ago…

I look at it basically all day at work, the 200€ are are down to a very small fraction of a cent / hour of use by now.

I bought Pragmata Pro about 5 years ago and still love it.

I mean, it really is the only client that makes sense when you get more serious. It can seed 1000+ torrents without problems.

No, the ports expire, but you can script the renewal / new port process via their API. I want to set up a job that gets a new port like 1x per week and tells it to the applicating using the port. Haven’t done that yet. So far my port stayed active for like a month.

I like how they have an api for stuff like port forwarding etc (albeit with mediocre documentation), and how they use all their own servers.

So far I could always max out my connection, it is only 100Mbit/s tho.

I use azire now. Works well so far.

I use restic.

I use wasabi s3, I back up to that using restic.
