  • I run proxmox, and proxmox backup server in a vm. PBS backup is encrypted locally, and I upload the backup to backblaze b2 using rclone in a cron job. I store the decryption key elsewhere

    It has worked ok for me. I also upload a heartbeat file, it is just a empty file with todays date (touch heartbeat), so that I can easily check when the last upload happened





  • I used to use LXC, and switched to VM since internet said it was better.

    I kinda miss the LXC setup. Day to day I don’t notice any difference, but increasing storage space in VM was a small pain compared to LXC. In VM I increased disk size through proxmox, but then I had to increase the partition inside VM.

    In LXC you can just increase disk size and it immediately is available to the containers







  • I might miss your target, but have you considered tasks.org android app + caldav?

    I have been using silverbullet the last few months, but I struggle keeping up with its updates (too bleeding edge at the moment). I has a lot of nice features like all markdown, queries and templates.

    Now I am back to tasks.org app + radicale self-hosted caldav server. For tasks it flows so well on android. for windows you need to use something that supports caldav, like thunderbird.

    When silverbullet matures and if it is still fast and offline, I might go back. It has a lot of nice stuff going on. I still use for stuff like recipes and travel lists


  • I used it for a few years, but it broke a few times, and I had to search online and find an occ command to fix it. It also could break if you didn’t upgrade regularly and skipped versions. Or you upgraded too quickly before a bug was hotfixed.

    Maybe it is better now, but I looked into alternatives and found syncthing to be awesome (after I switched from iphone to android). I use samba share for cold storage. Syncthing can take a lot of space since it syncs all the files to all units
