Today is World Backup Day!
Please check that you have backups, working backups, of all your important systems and data. Apply the 3-2-1 rule to all backups. And test a restore - backup is worthless if you can't restore it.

I agree. Federation and multiple clients is a nice idea - in theory. Actual implementation is horrible.

#FOSDEM sent out invites for #Matrix channels. Which do not show up in Element as invites.
I have to open every invite one by one in Element in order to join the channel.
That is not usability for regular users.

Vor allem kann - und sollte - man das dann automatisieren.
Ein manuelles Backup wird irgendwann nicht durchgeführt und dann fehlen die Daten wenn es wichtig ist.

My #HomeAssistant installation is 3 months and 4 days old. How do I know?
Came back from a business trip and the #TLS cert expired.
The #LetsEncrypt add-on does not automatically renew the certificate. For whatever reason. Wrote an automation now.

Let me guess, you did a pg_dump of 14 and tried to install it in 16?
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/upgrading.html#UPGRADING-VIA-PGDUMPALL
Use the 16 pg_dump to take the backup of the 14 database.

No script?
Usually I have this kind of work in a text file ready and just copy&paste. And sometimes use subtransactions.

It's 27 years now that #PostgreSQL lost the ability to travel back in time.
Release 6.3, which was published on this day in 1998, removed the "Time Travel" feature which allowed to peek into previous versions of a row.
Do you want this feature back? And why?

You can now travel from anywhere in Germany to #PGConfDE for a fixed price, using a #DeutscheBahn Event Ticket.

Many many moons ago Hetzner had a somewhat bad reputation for hosting spammers. They cleaned that up very effectively, and also seem to remove accounts which fall outside whatever norm they have. See the Subreddit, where such postings occasionally show up. Best guess is that they don't want to spend resources vetting accounts manually, if something is dubious.

I looked into that a couple of years ago when working on a "blackout" paper for #Freifunk. Turns out, after talking to people about such options, the biggest hurdle is that if people don't use such an app almost daily, there will not be a big adoption.
Which in my case (blackout) is not helpful in emergency cases :-(

Exchanged a full curl #whisky for a #curl t-shirt, and I think I made a pretty sweet deal. Wdyt?

I'm trying to login into #Spotify on my #Arch #ArchLinux / #Manjaro system (AUR package). When I click on "Login", no browser is opened. Debugging also doesn't show anything.The "xdg-desktop-portal" package is installed.
Any ideas or workarounds?
