@DistroJunkie those are the norm here in the Philippines.

@hrthu nope, it's super simple. It's running again and seems to be backing up the rest now. I didn't make any changes. Not sure what happened.

@hrthu I'm also curious if rclone sync would cause corrupt data to be on all storage locations if the main backup storage has a drive failure.

@hrthu I'm checking it by mounting the archive within Vorta

@hrthu I have Borg backing up to another machine via SSH, then I have rclone on that machine to sync the backup to pCloud

Best guess is that my attempt to copy it with rclone interrupted the process. Not sure on the proper way to use rclone with it if that's the case.

You ever get the urge to order a dedicated server with 32GB RAM even though you have no real use for it? Hetzner is making me drool a bit.

@rory @mdbekhit received a reply. Woo.

@rory @mdbekhit I'm considering them but I've been waiting for a response from their support for about 48 hours. Not yet impressed.

@rudolf @mattmcnutt Soy is fed to cows in many cases, so that has to be factored into the environmental impact as well - human eating soy vs human eating cow that was fed a larger amount of soy.

I choose to eat alternatives because 1) I don't want to eat animals, and 2) I want to minimize my negative environmental impact.

@aral @sheogorath an "ethical ads service" would be

@amz3 I've just been running mtr on various hosts' test servers, and I'm finding that my packet loss is only at 0% for Seattle and Los Angeles servers.

@amz3 mtr ping.online.net

@amz3 14% packet loss to their test server :(. I have packet loss to most non-western-US locations.

@kev Do you know if they provide SSH access?

Favorite budget dedicated server or VPS host? I want to try Nextcloud on another host other than Kimsufi. Need at least 100GB storage.

@kev @kelbot what host is that?

@sheogorath @aral might be hard to make it an effective way to market, unless I'm not understanding how it would work. Without targeting, ads are a lot less effective, so companies would lose money using this ad method vs Google.
