  4. Why chat apps are called "productivity tools"?

    In work environment there is hardly any larger productivity killer than Microsoft Teams, Slack and similar constantly blinking apps :ablobcatwobwork: Though, now that I think of it, shouldn't be surprised - we live in a world where "serverless computing" is a norm, so... :blobcatjustright:

  13. @danie10 I use the multi-column web UI the most and there I was able to pretty much separate the different topics (especially with the new option in 4.2 that you can tell certain lists not to be part of your main timeline), it felt cleaner to me to split up in different accounts. I tried adding the hashtag #itstuff so people could filter my IT related posts out, but that only works for own posts, not for boosts.

    I do not know how G+, Telegram handles/handled that, but the concept of to be better able to separate topics sounds nice though.

  18. Just installed Zabbix 6.4.8 (zabbix.com/release_notes) and was pleased to find there is now also a template for Nextcloud.

    Had to download the template here and import it in Zabbix.

    git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/re

    Created a Nextcloud user in the Admin group and created an app password and off it went!

    Digging my Zabbix installs.

  23. So, it appears, that when you mount the fan to suck the warm air out of the rack, it works better than when you mount it in such a way it blows cool air in. 🤪

    To my defense (hopefully), the fan looks real weird in my opinion when you mount it correctly, so that was the reason I mounted it false initially.

    Rack temperature dropped from 46 degrees with one side open to 37 degrees with everything neatly closed.

  28. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. After much deliberation I have chosen Duplicati as my new backup tool for the homelab.

    Duplicati ended up on my shortlist, together with Bareos. Bareos had in fact more potential, but I found it too un-intuitive and would have to put a lot of time in getting to know the program (time I do not have or am not willing to spend).

    So my compromise is to use Duplicati.

    What I like about Duplicati:
    ✅ Easy intuitive GUI
    ✅ Easy setup of backup target (I use remote systems via SSH and for some S3)
    ✅ It just worked out of the box. No steep learning curve.
    ✅ According to reviews, it can handle slow/instable network connections very good

    What I dislike about Duplicati:
    ⚠️ No parallel backup jobs
    ⚠️ No on-prem central gathering of backup results (am doing it now via duplicati-monitoring.com (might change to just mail, not sure yet)
    ⚠️ No easy way in GUI to see which files were backupped

    Thanks again!

  33. ❓ backup tools home-lab ❓

    Re-evaluating the current backup tools for my home-lab as the lab grew over time in size and complexity. Currently am using a wild mix of tools. What tools do you use?

    Requirements:
    - Filesystem backups (full and incremental) of approx 15 Linux systems
    - Central administration (preferably by GUI), distributed backup agents of course not a problem
    - Various backup targets (local disk, SSH, S3?).
    - Must run fully on-premise (no services in the cloud)

    Nice-to-have:
    - Direct backup of PostgreSQL and SQL Server databases (instead of just backing up the database dumps)
    - Windows backups (just file-based)
    - Integration in Zabbix
    - Open Source software

    I'm not only looking for free (as in free beer) solutions. I'm certainly willing to pay a (fair) price for good software.

    Am I asking for the impossible here? Appreciate your suggestions! 🙏
