restic to a local server and to cloud storage. it varies by device, but usually just everything in /home/. The rest of the operating system should be reproducible, whether through images, ansible, nix, or guix, given the information in /home/.
scheduling is done through systemd, usually (or the non-systemd equivalent). I use BackBlaze now, but I switch around occasionally. restic has policy based snapshot removal, and a prune option.
It doesn’t seem like there’s any enforcement method, just “social influence”.
In other words, they made a scoreboard.
You could try using Hashicorp’s Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.
I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.
Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?
imo you should, before nuking your account, make a backup of everything you said, and maybe some of the surrounding context, and then host it on a website. Just make sure your website is all properly indexed, and shows up when you use the right search terms. I have no idea what the legality of such an undertaking would be, but it would be cool. Or, if you don’t want to bother with that, you could try writing some blog posts based off of the correct answers you gave to obscure questions.
But really, it all depends on what you did with you Reddit account. If you answered people’s obscure questions, you should keep that information. Would someone look up a question you answered? Did you talk a lot in more technical subreddits? Did those arguments you have result in any positive change? But if you spent all your time on big threads with thousands of other people replying, or did a bunch of lurking, maybe your account isn’t worth keeping.
If you account is only of value to you, maybe just downoad a copy of everyhting you’ve said on there, then nuke your account with some tool.
significant other, probably
I almost thought you were that bot that changes youtube links to invidious ones, lol.
Yeah, those tend to be good (well, tux.pizza is a bit of an exception, it shows the error that the others fixed). It’s a little annoying that a lot of the invidious instances that work won’t show up when you do the “switch instance” thing on an instance that doesn’t work, but it makes a bit of sense, not wanting to get overwhelmed, or trying to not get too noticed.
Yeah, youtube breaks things all too frequently, and a lot of the time these projects can’t push out updates fast enough. A lot of invidious instances sadly don’t work (as of the last time I checked them, a few days ago), but a few usually work because they merge patches before upstream does. inv[dot]nadeko[dot]net comes to mind.
Some banking apps won’t run without SafetyNet (technically now Play Integrity). Pure AOSP doesn’t have it, and AOSP distributions with sandboxed play services or whatever usually fail the hardware attestation requirements. There are some other reasons banking apps won’t work, but a lot of it is similar stuff.
Usually not worth it, the website usually has everything.
I’ve been surprised by how many banking apps I’ve seen that don’t require safteynet or google services (I thought basically all of them would require it). Some banks websites don’t work very well on mobile, so that’s some peoples reasoning.
