Thanks! These were experimental so I’m glad I got some eatable ones! A shame about the beetles.

“I’ll take a bit of kibble and EAT IT!!”

Do you run an antivirus or just the built-in? Windows Defender, after an update, has been known to peer at Jellyfin and say “Absolutely Not”.

If you are all linux, perhaps you’d like Borg. It’s pretty easy to set up, and perhaps it offers the de-duplication you crave. It’s also got some GUIs you can run, if you are into that kind of thing. If you don’t feel inclined to use any backup software, then using rsync over ssh (scp, yes) instead of SFTP is a solid way to go.

I personally run a ProxMox cluster. I run both Windows and Linux servers. I perform local full-VM backups using the hypervisor to a USB disk. That gives me a fast way to restore VMs if I need to. I also run Veeam, which handles the offsite copy and provides granular file restores. It’s nice because the community edition supports hardened disk immutability, which can help prevent ransomware attacks and Unfortunate Incidents. That just runs over SSH, and installs a Veeam agent/repo on the remote linux box.

Tell us a bit about your environment! Are you all linux or do you have Windows as well? Are you running a hypervisor like Proxmox or VMWare or using containers? Are you just making complete backups, or can you forsee yourself needing granular file restores? There are a number of ways you could go, depending on your setup.

I recently moved, and did not start over from scratch, as I had most of the same rooms/sensors/setup. It went well! I added in new rooms and sensors as necessary. I did recently move from the Nortek combined stick to a separate SONOFF 3.0 for Zigbee and a Zooz 800 stick for Z-Wave, which also went well, but left things named a bit oddly. Reading some of the other comments about how often they blow out their environment makes me think maybe I should!

I was considering a dwarf cultivar to keep it small-garden sized, but I haven’t put too much though into it yet.

No fruit trees, although I might try planting some next year. There will be a number of food, uh, shrubs, I guess, going into my native plant garden that I’m excited about, like serviceberry and salal!

That’s what it was for Boost for Reddit. I used it for years adfree after a one time purchase.

I hear the “growveg.com” Garden Planner is decent, but requires a subscription. I’ve personally started developing an open source garden planner, as I’d like a companion plant planner/compendium, but it’s still in the very-early mostly-conceptual stages.

That’s fantastic! How long have you been planting your forest?

Talk about a massive wave. You got it, a wave period of decades. Space is big, mind-bogglingly big…

Whoa! This truly whips the llama’s ass! Winamp forever!

My kale(and arugula!) was under attack by cabbage moths. BtK stopped them dead in their tracks!

I dunno, I think I might wait til August and then try to buy an air conditioner on an impromptu whim this year.

Thanks!

Looks like your hardiness will vary by your location!. I’m growing Oxhearts besides the gardener’s delight but they are taking their time, they’ve just put out flowers.

Yeah, you should probably pluck it and plant it. It’ll help focus energy to the roots and leaves.

I put up a guide on my instance to help deploy with Portainer and Nginx Proxy Manager on a separate Docker. I suspect it might help you with the federation bit, as I struggled with that too.
