    So… we are nearly there but unless you have a very VERY minimum usage of your phone, basically a dumb phone with a bit of CLI to remote connect to your own server from time to time, it’s probably not practical for now.

    …and, that’s me.

    I gave up on my phones. There’s no way to remain connected to the modern world and my own without just keeping everything off of my phone and using it entirely in stock NPC mode. Trackers? Adware? Malware? Doesn’t matter, I only use it for calls, banking apps and cash apps. How do I access my personal, more 1337 haxxor shit?

    Laptop, although I can do a lot of work over ssh on phones and use things like syncthing and nextcloud to get around the ecosystem, still, but for the most part, I’m back in 2007, baby! We’re carrying messenger bags! We don’t care!

    I use restic in combination with rsync.

    Two days ago, I tried to setup unbound and fucked up my Nextcloud instance on the same host.

    Restic restored /opt, /etc, /home and /var and then I used rsync to divvy them all out. For some reason, restic didn’t recognize the --delete flag so, rsync it was.

    Reboot, waited 3 minutes, reload, there’s my Nextcloud login screen. Database cleaned up using occ commands and I’m back.

    My restic repo sits on my main NAS, and a copy of it on another system. It holds all of my host’s aforementioned directories for easy setup and restore from either bad luck or dumb ideas.

    …usually dumb ideas.
