<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://timeloop.cafe/@uep" class="u-url mention">@<span>uep</span></a></span> that looks like a massive pain to use even with rustic; i don&#39;t see restic documenting anything like that at all</p>

<p>restic doesn&#39;t work unless you give it s3:DeleteObject permission on at least a subset of the backup bucket because it needs to delete locks</p><p>obviously the example policy just gives the backup account a blanket permission to delete anything</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://woem.space/users/aismallard" class="u-url mention">@<span>aismallard</span></a></span> tarsnap is like an order of magnitude more expensive than the underlying S3 costs, it&#39;s ridiculous</p>

@whitequark@mastodon.social also quite expensive. costs for storage and bandwidth, and it uses AWS so you're getting *Amazon* bandwidth costs...

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> yeah, i&#39;ve been eyeing rustic as it seems to have better support for an append-only server</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> fwiw in the odd chance you&#39;re soliciting suggestions, I&#39;ve been very happy with rsnapshot for a long time, so feel free to ask if you have any questions.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> good backup and recovery software is a joy to use, but it’s way out of budget even for many companies</p>

<p>i&#39;m looking at restic</p><p>it can use s3 as a backend. that&#39;s cool. let&#39;s say i don&#39;t want a compromised machine to be able to delete backups, so i will follow the principle of least privilege to set up access for it</p><p>does restic documentation give me the set of permissions it requires? absolutely the fuck not</p><p>why can people not make good backup software.</p>

Molly allows to use one account on several devices, but it&#39;s still far from having pleasant UI. Matrix is at least self hosted, so I can calm down the anxiety with digital hoarding and gardening docker containers as we all do. Telegram is fast, reliable and usable meme dumpster controlled by fsb though <br /> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@gsuberland" class="u-url mention">@<span>gsuberland</span></a></span></p>
