If OP is attempting a 3-2-1 Backup scheme, this is an irrelevant argument.

OP wants to store a backup in a different physical location while trusting that it won’t be used to train AI. They are looking for services that can satisfy that.

The answer to your question is yes

Yeah, I’m just split between that or an odroid hc4. I wouldn’t even need to buy a case for it.

I’m also in the market for this.

I’m considering setting up a raspberry pi4 nas, and would love to hear pros and cons from people with experience on the matter.

I assume there are faster solutions, but I think it should meet my needs well

Wow thanks for such a verbose post.

That’s given me a lot to chew on

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Education was the foremost goal of this post, and I’m glad some of that may have come through

I have absolutely seen some highly upvoted pillars of salt over there.

I agree. These mechanisms are in place to stop the fediverse from becoming fedChan

Sure, and I should’ve been more clear and said people need to understand what the Fediverse is.

This is, ultimately, about what federation means and how this platform operates. Its deficiencies, and the way things work currently to address those deficiencies. What I have posted is just as true for kbin as it is for lemmy.

I do, personally, think it’s reasonable for an instance to have “private” communities exclusive to their own users. This is likely a subject that comes down to personal belief, but after dealing with so many trolls and bad actors on other platforms, I absolutely do see a need to have those kinds of permissions.

When/if refederation happens, the comments lost to the abyss will stay lost to the abyss. The source of truth will not update based on the past updates of a formerly defederated instance to my understanding

People need to understand what lemmy is. This is not monolithic social media like facebook or reddit. People need to understand that, or the mismatch between how they think it works and how it actually works is going to cause a lot of mental anguish that could be avoided.

As they say in software development, 8 hours of debugging can save you from one hour of reading the manual.

The only way to not address things on a per-server basis is for moderation tools to be expanded in scope. Maybe that will be how things work one day, but it is not how things can work right now.

Thank you for phrasing my point so eloquently.

When a Lemmy.World user posts to a Beehaw community right now, it updates the cached community that Lemmy.World stores. Beehaw has defederated with them, so the “source of truth” never updates. The source of truth is what updates other federated instances. As a result, someone on startrek.website, for example, will not see posts made by lemmy.world users to beehaw communities. The only people who can see what lemmy.world users post to beehaw right now are other lemmy.world users.

I don’t think that assertion is based in reality. A server has to be hosted somewhere, and admins will generally choose to uphold those local regulations for the sake of their instance’s own longevity. Federation has never meant that you communicate with literally every other instance. This isn’t Tor where nodes pass along communications that don’t directly involve themselves.

This isn’t handwringing, though I can understand why it might come off that way. This is simply mulling over how things “actually work” in the fediverse as opposed to how people believe it works. I believe that many people have a fundamental misunderstanding of what this software is and how it works. This is an educational issue that we have an opportunity to begin sorting out

In addition, my scenario of instance users subscribing to illegal content will still be valid even with moderation tools. The only way to stop that currently is defederation with instances hosting illegal content.

That is correct, and this is why a new instance only shows the most recent 20 posts for a community until someone from the viewing instance subscribes to it. From that moment forward (barring de-federation), the host instance sends updates to the viewing instance. The viewing instance provides content to its users from the local copy that it stores.

I’ve been using mine since 2021, and despite the jokes my friends make, no one can actually tell the difference in my hair cut. It does help to have someone that can trim your neck line and ears though

This one is modified from the Murgh Ka Korma recipe in The Indian Cooking Course by Monisha Bharadwaj

I strongly recommend it for Indian recipes.

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 fresh green Chile, chopped
• 1/4 c unsalted cashews
• 2 tsp garlic ginger paste (2 parts garlic: 1 part ginger)
• 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 block of firm tofu, cut into cubes
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp (+some more to finish) garam masala (make your own to really make it pop)
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 lb frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 tbsp cream (or more. Treat yo self.)
• salt

1. Begin by frying the tofu. I recommend a good non stick pan to reduce how much oil you add. I did not use any oil on my non stick here, and did not include any oil in the ingredients list for this. Really get a good texture on most of the faces of the cubes.

2. Put the onion, Chile, and cashews in a pan with some water. Not too much, don’t be afraid to add a dash as it cooks as needed. You can add more, but you can’t take it out. Cook for 10 minutes until the onion very soft, then move it to a food processor with enough water for the food processor to work it all into a smooth textured paste/liquid. Set aside for later steps.

3. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan on high heat. Add garlic ginger paste, followed by tofu. Stir to integrate.

4. Stir in salt and the ground spices. Mix to integrate. Add the cashew onion paste, and use a bit of water to get everything out of the food processor. Cook for about 10 minutes. The primary goal here is to thaw and adequately heat the frozen vegetables.

5. Stir in cream, adjust seasoning to taste (primarily salt most likely) and optionally add a sprinkle of garam masala. Serve with rice, roti, or paratha

I hope you enjoy it!
