I don’t intend to leave AT in a semi-unmaintained state (unlike cough Nyaa.si)

I wasn’t aware Nyaa was unmaintained. What happened on Nyaa?

Tbh, that’s partially the reason why I opened your thread: to find recommendations lol. I’ve been procrastinating and haven’t found some good alternatives yet. But looking at what others are responding with, it’s probably best to give those a try.

Duplicati is a good backup tool, period. As in, it’s literally just good at backups. When it came to restoring, it took me I think 3-4 days to restore around 419 GB of files.

I highly recommend you ditch Duplicati and look for something else. Or if you manage to figure out a fix, try restoring your files before you actually need it.

And another tip is that when creating your backup, you should copy the database file Duplicati creates onto a separate drive. For whatever reason, Duplicati puts its database files on the same drive you’re trying to backup. So when it comes time to restore, it wants you to grab the database file from your dead/corrupted storage drive.

I’d rather this type of legislation not even be entertained in Parliament and treated the same way as if someone tried to propose banning oxygen. I’ll be writing to my MP tomorrow and I encourage everyone reading this to do the same. If you let them take a centimetre of our privacy, they’ll take an entire kilometre.

I’m not too familiar with VPNs that offer IPv6 addresses, so I can’t help with that. But I’m curious about why some people want IPv6 addresses. Are there any benefits to having an IPv6 address?

Because the entire mod team resigned, it could either be:

1. The entire team got fed up with the drama and resigned.
2. The top mod got fed up with the drama and booted everyone out, including himself.

I don’t think it was a protest from the other mods against the powertripping one as I don’t know how resigning is going to do anything useful. It’s more likely that this incident invited a lot of people to the subreddit and the mods just got tired of dealing with it. And because mods can’t close the subreddits like they did in 2023 anymore without Reddit’s permission, they all just resigned or the top mod just purged everyone.

I don’t think Reddit’s global rules prohibit sales. Otherwise, all the porn subreddits promoting OnlyFans would’ve been nuked. /r/art’s own rules prohibit sales, as seen here:

IMHO, this rule is a bit extreme but it isn’t without reason. Without this rule, the subreddit would be flooded with people trying to sell art. Selling art isn’t a problem, but if the entire subreddit is just people trying to sell their own artwork, then the community will just turn into FB Marketplace. And I would imagine the users wouldn’t like that.

The issue isn’t the rule. The issue is that the mods are powertripping assholes who just outright banned the dude and purged his entire post history on /r/art.

What benefit does this have over a Zigbee dongle on Amazon that’s cheaper? Would the advantage be that this is a 3-in-1 dongle?

What about the uneducated fleas?

There must never be a single dominant instance. If one instance becomes too large, they end up having too much influential power. And with all that power, big corporations or power tripping admins will use that power to coerce other instances to do certain things. “Don’t want to follow our unilaterally-imposed rule? We’re gonna cut off your entire instance and your users will lose access to our communities.”

If Meta doesn’t get defederated, they will become the dominant instance. They already have the most amount of users since I’m assuming you can use your Facebook/Instagram account, they’ll have the most amount of user activity, and of course the most amount of power.
