Re:Restic – Backups Done Right on Thursday October 31, 2019 @02:37PM (#21412153)
you could always mount the entire backup, using

    restic mount backup/
and pick the file(s) you are looking for from the `backup/snapshots/latest/` directory.
Re:KDE Connect 1.10 released on Monday November 05, 2018 @04:50AM (#18381065)
If anybody here is using gnome instead of KDE, there is "GSConnect" that allows you to use your current desktop environment with KDEConnect on your android mobile phone.

This can be useful whenever you need additional models w/ attributes that are not known in advance. For example you may want to allow your users to create a mask where they can enter data based on their own structure. e.g. google forms or strapi https://strapi.io/demo
As long as there is no default support for keepass, maybe kee/keefox will fit the bill?

This site pulls in 6750,83 KB of data assets and scripts. It has disables the shortcut for the developer tools, and fullscreen-prompts me to give them an email address to read the article. without the option to skip, of course.

I am convinced this is not good web design either.

Usually the functionality of the app exists in the backend, which would be server side. No matter what you do on the frontend, there should be no way for you to trigger actions in the backend you were not authorized to perform.

This is awesome.

I always wanted to do something like this as long as I can remember, build something (more or less) self-sustaining in the middle of nowhere to feel fully independent. I am really curious to what extent the author plans on living there? Will there be houses next to the communal building? Solar Panels? A Generator? An on-site well?

It is this Idea of your own small ecosystem which makes Minecraft so attractive. This is real life Minecraft and I hope to do something like this one day.

Edit: Just to add some interesting Project: There is open source hardware for everything you need to build your own village in the "Global Village Construction Set"[1]

Re:How is Docker.io different from a normal virtual machine? on Friday September 13, 2013 @06:09AM (#6379485)
I Would love to migrate 50+ KVM VMs to LXC-Containers, but there seem to be some problems left with security[1][2]. I cant wait to get my hands on Docker, but I lack the SELinux knowledge to secure everything the 'proper' way.

Is LXC (and therefore Docker) really ready for Production yet?

Edit: Formatting.
