btrfs offsite backup
Hi selfhosting community!
At the moment I have my services set up with nix. They store their data on a btrfs subvolume which I can easily snapshot.
For backup I configured btrbk to send the snapshots to a target pc. However I feel uneasy not knowing if the backups succeeded or not. Right now I would need to check manually on the target machine every so often.
How are you guys handling this problem? Custom scripts for btrfs send/receive? Is there a function in btrbk I overlooked where I can verify the state and get notified of problems?
I was looking into ntfy-sh, which looks optimal, but how can I know if the send/receive was successful?
ok i’m not saying do this
i recently setup an API proxy, C&C server, Grafana and Prometheus, and Discord bot. now i can send pings via Grafana or with a simple request (provided it’s authed via VPN or proxy) and have my Discord bot use a local LLM on my network to deliver the alert to a Discord channel in the voice of Ultron.

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/38187649
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to carry out “powerful” attacks in Gaza, his office says.It comes after Netanyahu alleged Hamas committed a “clear violation” of the ceasefire deal. For its part, Gaza’s Government Media Office accused Israel of committing 125 violations of the ceasefire since it came into effect on October 10, including killing 94 Palestinians.

Local dns rewrite problems on android
I have some services set up which i make available with tailscale and a domain name outside my lan. Inside my home network i set up adguard dns rewrites to use the same domain for devices which are not on my tailnet. I disabled dns rebind protection in my fritzbox for these domains.
Now my problem: I don't leave my phone connected to tailscale all of the time because of high battery drain. Inside of my wifi the phone should still be able to access my services using the domain, but it is only able some of the time. My work laptop (not on my tailnet) is able to access the services.
Is the dns cached somehow in android? Is the private dns setting of android overwriting the dns i configured in my router? Where else could the problem lie?
Any hints are appreciated 😀
I kinda had a similar problem. Never found the root cause, but what did the trick for me was to put an OpenWRT Router between the default ISP router and my home network.
As I said, I never figured out, why Android did not respect the DHCP settings of the default router, but here we are. Maybe it was some DNS shenanigans by the ISP's config, maybe it was a wrong DNS/DHCP configs from my side, maybe it was IPv6 shenanigans. Those are the culprits I would investigate from your side.
Thanks!

Israeli side is still a prevalent voice in covering the conflict with no voice leveraged to the same stage from palestinians, so whatever happens the mainstream news would be in their hands. It is an unequal exchange by design. It is hard to even start a dialog about peace if one side is a state recognized by everyone and the other is not.
One way is to start to recognize Palestine internationally, the other is to undo recognition of Israel. These tho can happily coexist.
I have no firm belief about this whole situation, but at the very least I don't find any reason for israelis to scale up their territory. If they are to have their 50s borders in the end, no israeli settler or IDF fighter has any right to cross that line, that they do as we speak. These are terrorist acts, and a genocide, and if Israeli dream can't be achieved without that, it is to be dismantled.
RSF fighters film themselves massacring Sudanese fleeing el-Fasher
The moment the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced it had stormed the city of el-Fasher on Sunday morning, it was clear that 260,000 Sudanese trapped in the city were in serious and immediate danger.
Middle East Eye has reviewed dozens of video clips and images allegedly taken in el-Fasher since the RSF assault began.
Some were published by the RSF itself; others emerged on social media, particularly Sudanese Telegram groups.
RSF members filmed themselves with people they have captured fleeing. In one clip, scores of men are seen sat on the ground surrounded by fighters, who repeatedly call them “slaves”.
In another, fighters tell six detained men, who are in civilian clothes but identify themselves as soldiers, that they can flee. Once the men begin running, the gunmen open fire on them, downing at least three.
like this
This is one of the few reasons I wish there were gods. Humans are monsters and we need intervention. So easily and callously is human life destroyed.
How I wish the Sudanese, and so many other people in similar plights, mattered to the rest of the world.

Gadgetbridge data dashboard
Hey all. Unemployed and looking for something fun/interesting to work on lol
I use gadgetbridge to connect to a smart ring to track some basic health data, and while having everything on the phone is OK, I much prefer doing/viewing things from my PC. I thought maybe having some kind of self hosted dashboard/site displaying data gathered by gadgetbridge could be cool, but what do you guys think? Anything more interesting that could be done with the database that it can export on a schedule? I've also considered having gadgetbridge as one of several sources, but I'm not sure how many other privacy conscious options are out there.
I'm thinking of just leaving the transferring of the database to other programs, would that be acceptable? I already have gadgetbridge export every 2hrs and use syncthing to get it onto the NAS.
Would appreciate any thoughts, or if you think it's unnecessary even.
SEIA Says Solar Still Cheapest Source Of Electricity, Australia Unveils Free Solar Plan
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is obviously concerned by the full frontal assault on renewable energy being conducted by the Moron of Mar-A-Loco and his henchmen. In a blog post this week, it argued that solar will blow away all other forms of electricity generation — if they all compete on a level playing field.

Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost - Ars Technica
Last month, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine archived its trillionth webpage, and the nonprofit invited its more than 1,200 library partners and 800,000 daily users to join a celebration of the moment. To honor “three decades of safeguarding the world’s online heritage,” the city of San Francisco declared October 22 to be “Internet Archive Day.” The Archive was also recently designated a federal depository library by Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who proclaimed the organization a “perfect fit” to expand “access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape.”The Internet Archive might sound like a thriving organization, but it only recently emerged from years of bruising copyright battles that threatened to bankrupt the beloved library project. In the end, the fight led to more than 500,000 books being removed from the Archive’s “Open Library.”
“We survived,” Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle told Ars. “But it wiped out the Library.”
An Internet Archive spokesperson confirmed to Ars that the archive currently faces no major lawsuits and no active threats to its collections. Kahle thinks “the world became stupider” when the Open Library was gutted—but he’s moving forward with new ideas.

momenti tosti con la mancanza della distruzione, quindi l’octaggio diventa strategico (sto cercando un’alternativa decente al tagliarmi)
Come avevo vagamente accennato, in questi ultimi giorni, il vuoto oscuro sta ritornando, non so perché. Questo è un problema, sì, ma il vero problema è che, di conseguenza, stanno tornando anche le urge. Le distrazioni ovviamente non funzionano granché, sia perché l’oscurità rende di suo più difficile immergermi bene in esse… ma anche perché, evidentemente, il mio cervello è così fritto da tutte quelle volte in cui ho potuto accogliere le urge senza troppe remore che ora, anche dopo anni in cui non ho rafforzato quelle molto particolari connessioni neuronali, con i giusti sfortunati trigger queste hanno ripreso ad attivarsi spaventosamente forte, quasi come se non fosse passato alcun tempo… 😳
La soluzione a tutto questo, per quanto ahimè temporanea, sarebbe appunto quella di dare retta alle urge, perché banalmente funziona… ma, purtroppo, da quando questo mio vizio è stato scoperto, mi è stato sostanzialmente vietato; e questo è circa l’unico motivo per cui, per qualche anno, nella pratica ho smesso, ma questa è un’altra storia. Però, dall’altro lato, di questo passo sarebbe questione di settimane al massimo perché io finisca definitivamente di impazzire, temo, quindi in qualche modo devo far stare zitto il cervello. Piccolo nuovo problema, allora: raggiungere questo obiettivo non sembra per niente facile, nel senso che metodi che funzionano davvero per far smettere questo desiderio non se ne trovano. 💔Quello che sto dunque pensando è che, probabilmente, anche senza procurarmi una ferita, quindi senza avere quel dolore fisico e conseguente rilascio di endorfine, lo stupido inconscio che mi porta a volermi tagliare in primo luogo potrebbe credere che io abbia fatto esattamente quello che vuole, e quindi smetterla per un po’ di rompermi le scatole, se riceve almeno tutti gli altri stimoli che l’azione altrimenti comporta, ma che di per sé non mi sono vietati, in quanto non autolesionismo; quindi, almeno la vista di una ferita di quel tipo sul mio corpo, e una certa sensazione di pressione abbastanza forte concentrata su una linea della pelle nel momento dell’azione stessa… Quindi, farmi dei tagli finti che però la mia mente percepisce come reali, in qualche modo. 😻
Ebbene, credevo, pensavo, di aver appena trovato, con un po’ di sperimentazione, un metodo epico, che avrei voluto dire qui, con appena una matita e dei pennarelli (l’intero mondoctt verrà ricostruito a partire dalla cancelleria, di questo passo, wow); ovviamente, non dannoso per i tessuti, così da non violare il divieto morale, e che non lascia alcun segno persistente, permettendo di far sparire tutto semplicemente lavando se necessario, così da evitare certe conversazioni che non voglio mai più avere nemmeno tra 100 anni… Peccato che poi, ben dopo averlo provato, cioè solo quando stasera sotto la doccia ho provato a lavarlo, ho visto che i segni che ho lasciato non sono andati via al 100%… perché a quanto pare, senza volerlo (ho semplicemente fatto troppa forza accidentalmente), ho comunque causato delle abrasioni sulla pelle… che ok, sono minuscole, ordini di grandezza meno peggio di cosa avrei combinato se fare quello fosse stato il mio obiettivo, ma: 💣
- Se me ne fregassi semplicemente, e lo riutilizzassi altre volte così com’è, allora sarebbe autolesionismo, per quanto minimo e insignificante… e ho detto che ciò mi è proibito, quindi non va bene.
- Anche se il danno è appena un graffietto sullo strato più superficiale dell’epidermide, che non sanguina, non brucia, non lascia cicatrici e credo sparisce nel giro di qualche giorno, è comunque un minimo visibile, e non si può cancellare a comando, quindi entra in gioco il problema del dover nascondere; perché ok, quando sono uno o due è plausibile siano accidentali, per aver strisciato contro qualcosa o boh… ma, se sono tanti e disposti strani, diventa difficile fingere.
Il metodo non è comunque da buttare, perché ha potenziale (e non c’è nessun altro surrogato del tagliarmi davvero che ce l’abbia così), ma è chiaro che va rivisitato e opportunamente ricalibrato, allora. La falla che va risolta è appena una, cioè evitare che la pelle si “consumi” per l’attrito che la parte fisica della procedura richiede, e le combinazioni che posso ancora provare sono tante — magari usare una matita ancora più morbida di una 2B, magari trovare movimenti diversi ma a cui il mio cervello risponde comunque come mi serve, magari elasticizzare la pelle con oli o cose strane prima della procedura così che non si rompa — quindi ha ancora senso non arrendermi per davvero, a queste urge… 👌
La fregatura aggiuntiva però è che qui sono veramente solo io e la mia inventiva, perché dubito ci siano altre persone qui in condizione sia di poter avere a che fare con questi assurdi esperimenti di fisica mischiati a psicologia (e, se non avete esperienza con questa roba, per il vostro bene non vi immischiate, vi prego), sia di volerlo fare (perché c’è chi, non soffrendo sotto il giogo dei divieti, e approfittando della stagione delle maniche lunghe, non perderà tempo a cercare di stare pulito/a)… e ChatGPT qui è alquanto inutile, perché va di continuo in protezione. Vabbè… se sono una ragazza magica, in fondo, ce la farò… credo… 🥴

CBP Quietly Launches Face Scanning App for Local Cops To Do Immigration Enforcement

DHS Gives Local Cops a Facial Recognition App To Find Immigrants
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has publicly released an app that Sheriff Offices, police departments, and other local or regional law enforcement can use to scan someone’s face as part of immigration enforcement, 404 Media has learned.The news follows Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) use of another internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) app called Mobile Fortify that uses facial recognition to nearly instantly bring up someone’s name, date of birth, alien number, and whether they’ve been given an order of deportation. The new local law enforcement-focused app, called Mobile Identify, crystallizes one of the exact criticisms of DHS’s facial recognition app from privacy and surveillance experts: that this sort of powerful technology would trickle down to local enforcement, some of which have a history of making anti-immigrant comments or supporting inhumane treatment of detainees.
Handing “this powerful tech to police is like asking a 16-year old who just failed their drivers exams to pick a dozen classmates to hand car keys to,” Jake Laperruque, deputy director of the Center for Democracy & Technology's Security and Surveillance Project, told 404 Media. “These careless and cavalier uses of facial recognition are going to lead to U.S. citizens and lawful residents being grabbed off the street and placed in ICE detention.”

Jeffrey Epstein had accounts with Goldman Sachs and HSBC, documents show
Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced late financier and sex offender, had accounts at Goldman Sachs (GS.N, HSBC (HSBA.L), and other banks, new court filings show.
The revelations came in previously sealed documents made public by JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), once Epstein's main bank, in a now-settled lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a private island residence.
Released to the public on Friday, the report did not provide dollar amounts or details about Epstein's relationships with other banks, but alerted authorities to money transfers he made.
A U.S. judge ordered the documents unsealed in response to requests from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg earlier reported the banks' names.
In an emailed statement, Goldman said: "We terminated our client relationship with Mr. Epstein, and his assets were transferred out of the firm in 2010."
HSBC declined to comment.

In addition to offering free child care, the state has launched initiatives to expand access, including a campaign to recruit more licensed and registered home providers. It also established a $12.7 million low-interest loan fund to help construct, expand and renovate child care facilities.

SAI is not a viable solution in general. I've studied this specifically, and it should be like a break-glass solution, if it all. It should be a "5 billion people will absolutely die unless we don't do it" type of thing.
Once started, it will have to be continued due to threat of termination shock, which could essentially compress all of the climate effects in the next 5 decades into 1 year or so, which will cause many millions of deaths. Also it will negatively affect some areas, and positively affect some areas, but it's very hard to precisely determine those areas, which can lead to geopolitical tensions and even war.
Tommy Robinson is a wasteman, but he shouldn’t have been arrested using terror laws
A court has found Tommy Robinson to be innocent of a terror-related offence. It follows a border stop in which Robinson refused to hand his phone over to the police. Unfortunately, it’s far from the first time authorities have used terror legislation as a blanket excuse to do whatever they like.
Robinson detained under Terrorism Act
As reported by the BBC, Tommy Robinson was stopped by the police at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel. It was there that he was asked to give his phone pin over, and it was there that he refused because he claimed to have “journalist material” on his device. As he was detained under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, police had the right to demand that he unlock his phone, but Robinson refused.
This is what we wrote during the trial:
Now, we here at the Canary don’t consider Robinson to be a journalist because he isn’t one; he’s a political activist who uses the veneer or journalism to push a far-right agenda. At the same time, we are very much opposed to the Terrorism Act and the inevitable overreach which results from it.Anyone can be arrested at any time for refusing the police access to their electronic devices when ordered to do so under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act. No suspicion is required.
No one should support the prosecution of Tommy Robinson under this legislation.
— Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy (@GyllKing) October 13, 2025
Highlighting how terror legislation is frequently used to abuse civil liberties, Emily Apple wrote the following for the Canary back in 2016:
The police have shown repeatedly that they regard fracking protesters as an extremist threat. Fracking protesters have been included in Prevent training about extremism, and campaigners questioned under anti-terrorism legislation at airports.
The government’s proscription of Palestine Action is the most significant misuse of terror legislation to happen recently:
The Met Police in effect confirms that the govt’s decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group is “drawing resources away” from defending the public from actual terrorism. Who would have thought? pic.twitter.com/K1gvb1MCRJ— Mark Curtis (@markcurtis30) October 4, 2025

— The National (@ScotNational) October 14, 2025
If people have broken the law, that needs to be resolved in some fashion. The problem is successive governments and police services have decided that opposing them is an offence in itself – even when said opposition does not cross the threshold of illegality.
This state overreach needs to stop.

When SNAP benefits will arrive is still in flux. Here's what communities are doing to fill the gap
The Trump administration says it will restart the national food aid program known as SNAP using money from a Department of Agriculture contingency fund but will only pay out half the amount participants would normally receive.
In a court filing, officials said depleting that fund means "no funds will remain for new SNAP applicants certified in November, disaster assistance, or as a cushion against the potential catastrophic consequences of shutting down SNAP entirely."
Starting Nov. 1, SNAP benefits did not hit accounts as expected after the USDA, which administers SNAP, froze funding, citing the federal government shutdown. The shutdown is now in its 35th day.
It is unclear when low-income families who depend on SNAP will receive these partial funds. The Trump administration said it anticipates long delays — "anywhere from a few weeks to up to several months" — before benefits arrive in the hands of registered SNAP recipients.
Deranged Zionist senator Lindsey Graham says the quiet part out loud again
Deranged Zionist US senator Lindsey Graham is, once again, saying the quiet part out loud.
In a speech to the ‘Republican Jewish Coalition’ – a lobby group that claims to represent Jewish people but makes its real agenda clear by attacking those they consider to “possess strong anti-Israel biases” – Graham wasn’t shy about telling his audience, to frequent cheers, that the US is “killing all the right people” and that if anyone wants to object to US support for Israel they’d better argue with God, exulting that “we’ve run out of bombs” and adding that he feels “good about where we’re going as a nation”:
thecanary.co/wp-content/upload…
This is far from a one-off for the rancid Graham, who has previously threatened to invade the International Criminal Court for daring to issue an arrest warrant for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s called for Gaza to be nuked, called for Israel to sink humanitarian boats trying to deliver aid to Gaza, demanded the US bomb Iran just in case it ever posed a danger to Israel and accused the United Nations relief agency, UNRWA, of teaching Palestinians in Gaza to “kill all the Jews”.

Judge says allegations of conditions at Chicago-area immigration site are 'disgusting'
The government is accused of denying detainees proper access to food, water and medical care and coercing them to sign documents they don’t understand. Without that knowledge, and without private communication with lawyers, they have unknowingly relinquished their rights and faced deportation, the lawsuit alleges.
“This is not an issue of not getting a toilet or a Fiji water bottle,” attorney Alexa Van Brunt of the MacArthur Justice Center told the judge. “These are a set of dire conditions that when taken together paint a harrowing picture.”
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman presided at the hearing just days after Van Brunt’s group and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois filed the lawsuit and sought a temporary restraining order. The judge said the allegations are “disgusting.”

~~Probably an odd bug in WG Tunnel - either upload or download slow based on MTU~~ Edit: And it was an IPv6 leak (for the most part)
Edit: Yay, with MTU < 1280 the client seems to just disable IPv6, including the ::/0 in AllowedIPs.
Disabling IPv6 also fixed the low upload speed (probably getting a better route over Wireguard).
That also explains why the differences didn't present themselves with iperf3, as that absolutely had to use Wireguard.
What remains now is why TCP download takes such a huge hit, while it doesn't on laptop.
Not asking for support (anymore). I tried the official Wireguard client, and the issue doesn't present itself there.
So likely a bug, but a bit interesting.
Welp, few hours of playing around and searching wasted.
~~At least you might not waste time with it too, like I did, and I already wrote this...~~
App used: github.com/wgtunnel/wgtunnel
So, this seems like a bit of a magic.
"Server" has MTU of 1420, its connection is 1500. The now-limited ifconfig in Termux shows 1500 for data interface.
I've seen a few people mention the 80 bytes is overhead of WG.
I've had issues with far slower download speed (half expected), so I switched MTU to 1280 (minimum for IPv6) which worked for me in the past for Mullvad. No luck.
I've got an idea, that perhaps if my data interface is 1280, then I should try 1200. That worked... for download. Now upload got significantly slower. I also tried matching MTU on "server" but that made no difference. I also tried some fairly low values like 500, which worked for download, but further killed upload. So far that testing was done using speedtest.net and fast.com.
Through trial and error I've found:
if MTU >= 1280 then upload speed is normal, but download slower
if MTU <= 1279 then download speed is normal, but upload slower
Tailscale is using 1280, and is fine in both directions. Moving to iperf3 (seemingly unaffected by MTU changes):

Note: 200 Mbits/sec in UDP tests refers to my pre-set limit, as higher speeds wouldn't be achieved anyway. Otherwise it keeps spraying out at full speed if no limit is set.
And now for the biggest oddity: My laptop speeds are fine even with default 1420 MTU, even though it runs over hostpot.
What magic is going on in here?
Also, the VPS doesn't have IPv6, so it's probably not that being routed slower in one direction (as IPv6 requires 1280).

Fixing an old hack - why we are bumping the IPv6 MTU
Back in 2015 we deployed ECMP routing - Equal Cost Multi Path - within our datacenters. This technology allowed us to spread traffic heading to a single IP address across multiple physical servers.The Cloudflare Blog
Welp, turns out I am just an idiot. 1279 and below disabled IPv6, and thus the ::/0 route didn't get applied either, causing a leak. What's still odd is the lower download speed that doesn't happen in another client.
As for the upload, it probably gets a better route through the VPS, giving me a faster speed, and giving me some confusion.
So my first idea with IPv6 was close, but on the other side of the connection.
Anyway, your reply helped me find this issue, as my outtake was to try fully disabling IPv6 (not the first time I tried such "solution").

Are you saying the Israelis did something to violate the peace? We'll form a committee to conduct a survey to discuss a vote about beginning an investigation.

in reply to Hayduke • • •What do you mean? Ignore the kayfabe anger / hostility with Netanyahu for a minute, and this might be the best deal trumps ever negotiated by his standards ( there's always a winner and a loser in a negotiation- and Netanyahu os a friend, hamas is an enemy)
He got his ally (not the israel- us alliance, the trump- Netanyahu one) exactly what he wanted- all the living hostages, and many of the dead ones, which was one of the main Israeli complaints about the war.
He gave both sides a tough guy act, hamas bought that he was really going to be tough on israel, and gave up their main leverage in exchange for prisoners israel doesnt really care about, and didnt get a peace deal, just a ceasefire, and the begining of negotiations- and they didnt even get a good starting point for those.
The baseline is basicaly gaza surrendering all weapons, disolving hamas, and getting an israeli ally-controlled government/ reconstruction. (All that reconstruction money is going to get eaten up in graft by trump allies) And If they refuse, trump drops the tough on Netanyahu act, blames everything on hamas for refusing to negotiate, peace talks and ceasefire over, and the killing starts again in earnest, now with no fear of hitting Israeli hostages.
Tldr, the anger with bibi was fake- and hamas bought it. They did the half of the deal (hostage swap) without getting any guarantee in return, and now trump will push them until he has 'no choice' but to go back to full throated backing of israel's total war.

Unlike the image they try and push with things like their "Western Values" talk, Western Europe and North America are the origin of only a small fraction of Israelis.

In Israel the Holocaust is little more than a tool for nationalistic propaganda.
