The single best thing you can do security wise, is to NOT have any personal data on a web facing server.

Separate the data

Rereading it does look like you are doing the things right; so just audit what is on the public side. - your calendar and tasks- cool

Your photo and docs, do those need to be on there?

they are not accessible on the WAN

If they are on a server that is publicly accessible, please move them to a different location

Otherwise you sound like your doing well

Sigh. I hate myself.

— Actually yes! That was the point of the original game.

the landlords game

Yep. And even I did it in my post. Notice what is missing?

Test your backups!

Agreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption….

Your production stuff, yes should be as well

Would that be sufficient

No.

3-2-1

Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house….

On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that

One off site. So yeah cloud covers that.

Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

We do a quarterly test.

I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.

For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good

Hth

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.

Backups. First and foremost.

Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups

Learn how to verify and restore

It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise

We make it a drinking game…

Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!

Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs

Sigh, kinda… but don’t forget to factor in your backup costs too

Correct.

Would you like to see Walmart change ?

STOP SHOPPING THERE.

That’s it. Sure, explain to friends and family all the evil they do. But stop shopping there

I don’t use b2, rather; I have a personal account. Backing up 3 computers and they’ve never said anything over years So. Yeah it’s fine

Data would help.

IF YOU CAN SAY::

Who is your ISP

VPN provider?

What speeds for each? —also consider a different node or connection location.

— also you may have options for protocols — WireGuard vs OpenVPN etc

And that is really so amazing.

Like that underground fire in that PA coal mine that has been burning for 50 years or whatever…

Just wild to think about.

I don’t really care about the actual answer….

But how the holy heck does a fire survive in BC with the rain and snow…

What the unholy hell—

I love pihole, for my family it is better as it helps on all the devices. Being able to block malware and tracking is nice too

There are options good and bad.

I’d back up just the dockers. The OS can be rebuilt easily enough. Yes Rsync the data

Or. Shut it down, pull the SD card, put it in another computer and rip it as an image, Full bootable backup

I would do the first not the second.

That sounds fine. The only concern is the sub speed? As long as it can handle everything… yeah cool.

I’ve got my seed box on a pi4 separate from my Plex server, but it really should be fine without a NAS.

The real question is are you backing up?

Right. Out of morbid curiosity…. I want to know. Knowing that it will be a disappointing answer.

A controversial movie…

The hell? CP, extreme political viewpoint; see now my mind is wondering. “Guess who’s coming to Dinner “? Controversial in its era —

Oh I’ll bet it’s the Mormon Temple ceremony. lol

Free and easy

Ooo. Thank you.

Kindle screens are very good , but eff Bezos

An iPad is versatile, but then Apple…

But FOR ME, I cannot read books on a computer screen, it is just too awkward.

So yes I iPad.

Interesting question… honestly why?

There isn’t an easy way that I know of… but you can block ip address using a list of the address blocks for that country.

I’d think I’d suggest a vpn? Or I’m not understanding the context

Yep.

I’m a fan of a certain sport, and they didn’t have a reasonable way of making it available on demand… so I sailed the seas. But lo and behold once an app was available, I was happy to pay as I’m no longer having to wait.

Someone smarter than I said. The largest part of piracy is a delivery issue. Make thing’s available and people will pay for them.

Yes our servers running esxi boot from an SD card

But. That’s not to say you won’t have issues.

As others are saying distro matters

We use this at work so often….

Three copies. The data on your server.

2. Buy a giant external drive and back up to that.

3. Off site. Backblaze is very nice

How to get your data around? Free file sync is nice.

Veeeam community version may help you too
