oh nice! I see this is a relatively new feature. thanks!

Because as you suspect, an image backup cannot be done while the partition being imaged is live.

can’t it, though?

macrium reflect’s normal operation is to run when the ststem is running normally. it creates a volume shadowcopy of your filesystem, and backs that up. a BTRFS/ZFS snapshot is basically what a volume shadowcopy is on windows, but with a less fancy name. if you make a snapshot, you can back that up, either with zfs send, btrfs send, rsync, borg backup, whatever. the difference is that on linux it’s not possible to notify programs that a snapshot will happen please sanitize your databases, while windows does that too, so if you restore on linux that’s like if your computer crashed because power went off

sure, it can’t be done with other filesystems, but OP said they have BTRFS. I think the boot partition can be safely imaged too: remount as read only and make a normal image.

how do you use it with proxmox, and for what kind of notifications?

if you are the only person, you cannot be defederated because of instance hopper ban evaders

but it can help against that if you disable registrations after you got your account

well maybe on certain (mainstream?) subs, but tech subs like those that do something with selfhosting have a lot of discussions. including in the comments of posts that point to external content!

its a shame that there’s no lemmy instance thats basically a mirror of a few reddit subs (or is there?)

but also with request ratelimiting

those are called spaces there. but there’s no flexible roles system. also no hop-on voice channels yet, but that’s a client feature so maybe that’s a bit different

Zerotier wasn’t always Tailscale was it?

it is not tailscale. but also it seems I was wrong and its not wireguard either

You need to be connectable to download from all the peers, likewise non connectable users can’t download from you, and how do you become connectable? By opening your ports, something that might seem archaic from somebody who has totally embraced IPv6.

I know what opening ports is, I only have v4. But I thought you have difficulties with bittorrent over v6. or is it that you still need to open ports for v6, in the firewall or something?

It’s generally not a good idra to give others access to your home network

Why does Wireguard or any other VPN not work like Tailscale or Zerotier?

tailscale and zerotier are wireguard, but with a public server that helps with NAT. Syncthing uses a public server for that too.

wireguard was specifically made to be as simple and minimalistic as possible.

Why don’t torrent clients can’t work with IPv6 to seed more?

is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue

Why doesn’t Plex adopt a similar mechanic like Syncthing to expose the media over the Internet instead of being a prisoner of CGNAT?

maybe they just don’t see working on it profitable enough

openvpn and apache can be very time consuming to set up if you do it for the first time

at first I was thinking the subscription is for when you don’t host your own server but you use theirs. but it seems they limit client-side features even when you use your own server. that’s interesting

it gained 14k+ stars on github in a year (development started in 2023 july).

isn’t it a bit suspicious?

maybe it’s nothing, but this just caught my eye
