I am quite worried about losing information and not being able to recover it from the backups, so I am trying to nail the best automated way to make sure the backups are good.

Restic comes with a check command, that according to the documentation here has this two "levels":

• Structural consistency and integrity, e.g. snapshots, trees and pack files (default)
• Integrity of the actual data that you backed up

In plain words, I understand this as: The data you uploaded to the repository is still that data.

Now my question is, do you think this is enough to trust the backups are right? I was thinking about restoring the backup in a temporary location and running diff on random files to check the files match the source, but I don't know if this is redundant now.

How do you make sure you can trust your backups?

The git repository is unreachable since a few hours ago, when I turned off my instance for the first time months to upgrade it, removed the docker image and was cloning the source code to build a fresh one. In the middle of the clone operation the repository went down. How can I be so unlucky?

I like the fact that my Android phone records my location timeline from Google Maps, but the fact that this is stored in Google servers creeps me out.

I know you can download the entire location history database from Google so I was planning on building a custom app to store and browse this data.

I was also curious if there would be the possibility of making the phone send locations to this app instead of Google, but I don't know much about Android and I don't know if this would be possible.

What do you think about it? Is there already an app like this? Do you think this is a good idea?

When I was a kid, during the 90s I lived what it is considered the Disney Renaissance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Renaissance

And I was wondering if this was happening with Disney videogames as well. Some very high quality games came to my mind, like Aladdin and The Lion King for 16 bits consoles, Hercules for the PS1? And so.

Do you think there was an equivalent to Disney Renaissance un games during the 90s? And if so, what games would define it?

The most requested feature for Immich has just been implemented by this guy!

Now using Immich makes much more sense since you'll be able to sync with Immich your existing photo galleries!

Anyone remembers this one?

I've been running my self-hosted one user Pleroma (like Mastodon) instance. When I discovered Lemmy I started following some communities from it and also posted some comments.

Since then lemmy.ml makes one request per second to my /inbox url.

Can someone who knows ActivityPub explain why is necessary one request per second always? What are all these POST requests for?

On top of that, is there any way to tell a server or a relay to stop sending information to my inbox? Like if for example I followed someone in that server, but I don't follow them anymore, is there any way to tell the remote server to stop? If I start returning a 403 or something like that will it stop?

As much as I like radarr, lidarr has some problems radarr doesn't. Some bands nowadays do not release albums and directly release singles on YouTube or Spotify, so the albums organization doesn't work that well anymore.

On top of that, the content you find in the trackers is very heterogeneous, entire albums as a single track, discographies as zip files, different file formats, single albums... and it seems to confuse lidarr all the time so it cannot figure out what is what.

What do you use for your music collections? How do you organize them?

I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else's server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?
