Can’t sleep. Testing bridge to Mastodon.
The Plan
These are things I am planning for calebh.top in the future.
- Backups
- IndieWeb
- File hosting
- Chat
Backups
Have two 1 TB disks to store backups.
Daily, automatically back up entire filesystem of my server Farnsworth to attached 1 TB external disk, including the contents of data volume /mnt/husky
. Keep mounted as /mnt/backups
.
Daily, manually back up laptop Hermes‘ home directories over SSH to the same 1 TB disk using Vorta for Borg Backup. Do this as the user who owns the respective home directory. For example, my own home directory backup would be written to the repository at farnsworth:/mnt/backups/backup-hermes-caleb
.
Each week, trade one of the disks with another household, for the other disk, and repeat. This will ensure that you lose no more than a week’s worth of work. Internet storage would be ideal for more frequent backups, but this is currently the cheaper option.

Accomplishments

And of course, the server has SSH, but I can only access it from the LAN for now.
Hello world!
Hi, this is my first post. I’ve now set up WordPress on Trisquel GNU/Linux on my own domain! Hopefully this works.
Introduction
I was born in Kansas City, Missouri. I’m Jewish and gay. My interests include fountain pens, computers, foreign languages, and antiques.
My fountain pen is a Pilot Metropolitan, and I use Sailor Studio 143 (light blue) ink. I’m a fan of Rhodia paper products.
My computer is a ThinkPad X200s running Trisquel GNU/Linux.
Foreign languages I’m interested in are many:
- Pennsylvania Dutch
- Yiddish
- Russian
- Latin
- Hebrew
- Spanish
- French
That’s it for now. See you later!
