  • Sorry for that hazzle! My story is quite different but exactly the same: my father in law “didn’t get around” to do backups and lost his HDD full of important photos and documents.

    That said: I’m quite sure that there are huge regional differences. Without knowing your country just keep that in kind.

    I phoned around several companies. I had a simple first benchmark: either directly speak with a tech savvy person (big plus) or being forwarded to one.

    That eliminated already half of them who had more business than tech.

    The important thing to look out for in hindsight is their transport standards, i.e. how does the broken disk get to them and how does the rescued data get back?

    Be careful of companies who have the potential to take the disk hostage (“we give a quote after first analysis”).

    Paying per file rescued sounds weird to me because that’s not how the rescue process usually works from what I understand.

    The company I went with was very upfront about the best and worst case what to expect, etc. They were very transparent about the risks and their process as well.

    Nearly all of the critical data was rescued and delivered on an encrypted disk. The key was handed out after final payment - a process I quite liked.

    In short: talk to the people and find a way to figure out whom you trust most.






  • (not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

    In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

    Und du scheinst das Zitat zu vergessen, mit dem du diesen thread gestartet hast - darauf beziehe ich mich.

    Ich habe deine Aussage “sag mir, dass du…” zumindest so verstanden, als wäre der Comic für dich normale Ehe Kommunikation. Darauf beziehen sich meine gesamten Aussagen übrigens - falls das eine Fehlinterpretation von mir war dann machen meine beiden Posts natürlich keinen Sinn!




  • OK now I have to escape to really smart assery and assume that’s what I meant the whole time ;)

    Edit code 2 describes something that went wrong - but that something telling you that it went wrong was the tar binary which therefor most have been valid to evaluate that!

    Under no circumstances did I assume that the hint towards help itself would’ve been an exit code 0, no sir!

    To be honest: if I’d designed that bomb it would’ve exploded in my face for trying to be too clever.




  • No worries I phrased that quite weird I think.

    A NAS is only more power efficient if the additional power of a full server is not used. If for some reason the server is still needed than the NAS will be additional power consumption and not save anything.

    (for example I run some quite RAM and compute heavy things on my server which no stock NAS could handle I think).
