  • I prefer restic for my backups. There’s nothing inherently wrong with just making a copy if that is sufficient for you though. Restic will create small point in time snapshots as compared to just a file copy so I’m the event that perhaps you made a mistake and accidentally deleted something from the “live” copy and managed to propagate that to your backup it is a nonissue as you could simply restore from a previous snapshot.

    These snapshots can also be compressed and deduplicated making them extremely space efficient.


  • There are 0 solutions in a reverse proxy if it is not capable of absorbing the amount of traffic required to maintain service while under a ddos attack. How exactly does a reverse proxy do anything to protect from a ddos?

    Edit: I see perhaps I misinterpreted this. Sure, there are other ddos protection services but if you are under attack RIGHT NOW and your critical services are down are you going to shop around for alternatives that aren’t Cloudflare or are you just going to go straight to the thing you know will do exactly what you need with a proven track record of doing it?

    Going to CF is entirely understandable and they said that once the dust settles they will be looking at alternatives for the future that is not CF.

    I’m far from a CF shill. I believe they do more longer term harm than their short term “good” has done. From an ops perspective though this action was very reasonable.
