I only buy used drives. The money I save from buying and using them is more than enough to backup everything multiple times. I personally think a new drive but only one back up is not safe.

Other thought, if you want to be seriously safe about your backup you should put it at your parents house or work in case something happens to yours.

But the thing I keep coming to is the cold backup. How can you keep cold backups over several hard drives, without an entire second server to do the work?

You could just plug them into your server or computer and move them there. Also, a server doesn’t need to be expensive. You could just buy a used optiplex for 40$.

How has that been going?

Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.

Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

It is my own device, but yes utilities and security is their own.

I have a server in my school office. I currently only use it to backup important files. I am asking if running public or private containers on it would be safe and acceptable.

Well at least we gave it our best

What can be done?

Great point about IoT

My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped

It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.

I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

Good advice outside of this use case! :)

Anything else?

That’s not how web scrappers work lol. No such thing as obscurity except for humans

I find this extremely weird

What

Which do you like the most?

Idk how common it is, but I’m using it like sub for reddit :)

I’m sure the government can do anything they want… but a lot of people have it backed up including myself

Communities.

And what could actually happen? You learn through doing!
