I am the administrator of Laguna.chat.
I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3’s in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.
Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.
I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I’m always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.
I have used duplicity before but restoring from a new installation takes a while, as duplicity has to reanalyze the storage.
First of all, I’m not a lawyer or a legal consultant, just a instance admin that wants to make sure that his instance complies.
Lemmy does not store any PII (birthdates, legal names, addresses,securitynumbers). But users are able to share whatever they want. And that can be a problem.
Check out my instances legal page: https://Laguna.chat/legal
In the future I want to make sure that my instances content can only be shared by GDPR respecting instances.
Awesome!
My current host is mich more expensive. They (Contabo) sell 250GB for €3. Storj.io sell 1TB for €4 for storage, €7 for bandwidth. But it isstille more viable than upgrading my VPS.
Contabo and NetCup are really cheap. But only if you use their shared VPS option. If you are lucky the CPU steal is low.
