PurelyMail is what I use. It’s been great so far. I’ve been using it for over a year for this exact use case.

I’ve a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It’s not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.

I feel like by the time Trump and Elon and the project 2025 gang have finished having their way with the government there won’t be any demand for COBOL or FORTRAN. It’ll all have been burned down to the ground.

Edit: Fixed twatboy’s name.

Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I’m loving it.

Agree. I’d be nervous about it too. Mullenweg seems pretty unhinged at this point.

You’re not wrong. Again, my logic for that the crazy person is on the warpath towards other hosting companies. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn’t update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.

Mullenweg isn’t going to do that to his own company. I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and I would steer clear of wordpress.com. My previous comment pointing towards .com is dumb.

Mullenweg owns wordpress.com. It’s arguably the only safe place to host WordPress since it’s his company and while he seems willing to burn all goodwill down to the ground for wordpress open source, hes (probably) not going to burn his own company and cash cow to the ground.

I mean, it’s not a great option, and I may be stupid for saying that, but that was my reasoning for saying so.

TBH, I’d just host it myself if I was going to do it.

FWIW, it might be better to avoid wordpress hosting UNLESS you go with hosting from wordpress.com, since there’s kind of an all out war in the wordpress world right now and the fallout to people who just want their websites to work is unknown.

The tl;dr is that Matt Mullenweg, wordpress founder and owner/CEO of Automattic (which is the company that runs wordpress.com), has engaged in a Trumpish crazy war with wordpress hosting engine WPEngine, and in doing so has arbitrarily (in the name of his war) been doing crazy shit with the open source wordpress project.

EDIT: To be clear, I am NOT recommending wordpress.com. My logic in saying what I said above is that Mullenweg is being very hostile towards other hosting companies, specifically WPEngine. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn’t update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.

It’s pretty unlikely that Mullenweg would cut his own for profit wordpress hosting company (wordpress.com) off from wordpress.org (the open source repo for the wordpress software and a vast majority of the plugins). And to be clear, I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and if it were me making this decision, I’d rent a vps and host it myself. It’s really not that difficult.

Congrats! Coming in loud and clear on lemmy.ml

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’ve been using Blink Shell for years and I’ve been very happy with it. Have never felt the need to look for an alternative.

Would you mind sharing the link t the ansible project?

What 2028 election?

wg-easy is fabulous! I use it too and I love it

Totally normal. Just keep throwing stupid amounts of money at it so it can find a way to undercut some existing business structure by operating at a loss until that business is dead and then enshittify. Profit! /s

I looked at it and did some reading of others experiences, and it looked like a huge pain. I opted for Joplin and haven’t looked back. I self host Joplin server for sync via docker and it’s rock solid.

I love that the client is available on any platform. Is the client a little ugly, and clunky? Yes, but for me it’s not so ugly and clunky that I’ll give up a fully open source self hosted e2ee notes solution.

I’ve been self hosting Joplin in some form for something like six years. Once a year or so I scope out the other options and as of yet I haven’t found another notes solution that I’m willing to switch to.

Human beings. The issue is humans.

+1 for wireguard easy. I run it and it’s fantastically easy to use.

Indeed.
