I hadn't realized backblaze was quite that cheap. That makes a lot of sense.

Great show

Great stream guys. I would be interested to know both your finding notes journeys. It would be good to know how you came to your conclusions and your opinions on other note apps.

it's a coincidence that I'm looking for a universal backup solution and you guys have a podcast on it.

Great stuff useful tips in there thank you. In your syncthing section you mention blind nodes but cannot see in there documentation about how to set this up? Can someone advise how to do this please?

Q: when you need to do a bulk data restore how do you do it? Is it possible to move HDD between locations? (TrueNAS to TrueNAS or Synology to Synology)

Awesome stuff... even if I don't understand all of it. xD I'm a total noob, so if I got something wrong do excuse me... I'm been toying with TrueNAS Scale on and old desktop and Syncthing settings to centralize things a bit here, it's going pretty alright. TrueNAS Scale for whatever reason I could only install Syncthing and Tailscale so far... having lots of issue installing apps, but I'm suspending work on it since I'm planning to redo everything in a new machine made for purpose. My old desktop I guess it's too old by now, it's a 10 yr old Haswell that consumes too much power, and I think a lot of the troubles I'm having comes from it being too old. Anyways, on Syncthing, I'm not entirely sure if I got things correctly, but the other thing I like is being able to set distinct send and receive functions for each device. It's like, you can set stuff for two way sync, but I also have some folders that I want the server to dictate changes, and other folders for the device to dictate changes. So for instance, I setup the camera folder on my smartphone to send and receive, but the same folder on my server to be send only. If I understood this right, this means the files on the server are not touched even if I do a cleanup on my smartphone. This is particularly good if you have someone in the family that tends to start erasing stuff at random because they ran out of space in their smartphone storage... you keep everything they have in the server even if they erase something important by mistake. Specifically for photos, there is likely a better app for this, but I haven't tested much yet. What I'm trying to replace here is the cloud storage or cloud photo stuff. I don't think Syncthing has this recourse, please tell me if it does, but something like being able to send things to the server while keeping a "virtual link" there just in case, aka device cleanup. I think Google Photos and the Synology app... what was it? Moments? They both have this functionality. Anyways, good show guys! Good tips too. I plan on diving deeper into Nextcloud and all it's plugins when I setup the new machine...

Hey Jay and Tom, @Jay, I am interested as to how your Joplin setup is configured. I have a postgres docker database instance that jopling (also docker) uses and have never had any issues using either the windows or android apps. Sorry to hear about the egregious bugs you encountered.

Long time Evernote user, would love to hear a segment on ur note taking protocol/aps

how about a short compilation video of your favourite Homelab Show b-roll bloopers? 😄

Is there a way for an attacker to destroy old versions of a backup in a setup where the backup server PULLS the backups from the main storage server or would that setup be safe against this kind of attack and only the live data on the main storage could be affected (deleted, encrypted, etc)? I mean a setup where the backup server has SSH access to the main storage and periodically pulls ZFS snapshots from there while the main storage does not have any SSH access to the backup server.

Tom and Jay, how about a video on testing backups.

WORM tape is trully imutable.

Guy on the left pretty talk non-stop it'd be nice if the conversation was a little more balanced. I think a good backup would a save the company I worked for about 2 months of work. The whole computer system was down. Due to a ransomware attack.

51:53 The problem with PBS, it doesn't backup the HOST's. Come one proxmox, give us an easy way to back up our host PVE systems
