Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • I recently switched to Kopia for my offsite backup solution.

    It’s apparently one of the faster options, and it can be set up so that the files of the differential backups are handled by a repository server on the offsite end, so file management doesn’t need to happen over the network at a snails pace.

    The result is a way to maintain frequent full backups of my nextcloud instance, with almost no downtime.

    Nextcloud only goes into maintenance mode for the duration of a postgres database dump, after which the actual file system backup occurs using a temporary btrfs snapshot, containing a frozen filesystem at the time of the database dump.








  • With hardware acceleration.

    Computing power isn’t just a general quantity. Networking devices have dedicated chips in them to perform various parts of processes. (Encryption, decryption, encoding, decoding, compression, decompression, etc.)

    That’s hardware acceleration. There are chips that are super efficient and powerful but they can only do that one thing.

    That’s fine if you know exactly what the device is going to be for, so you can put in the exact chips it needs to do only what it needs to do.
