And also set-up SSO/LDAP in your homelab if you run one so you don't have 3000 loose outdated account entries for IPs like 192.168.10.5 user: admin password:*****

UPDATE: Turned out that the culprit of the downtime was my switch - the D-Link DGS-1210-10P rev. B1.

The way the management web interface of the switch works is pretty unintuitive. Namely, if you change some settings in the web interface and hit save in one of the sections, the settings are saved in the volatile memory of the switch. This basically means that the settings are only saved in RAM, which is cleared on power loss. To save the settings into non-volatile memory which persists on reboots, you need to find the "Save" section at the top of the UI. This is described here: https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/20158/dlink-switch-loses-configuration-on-power-off

So basically, my problem was that the settings weren't commied to nonvolatile memory and on a short 1 minute power loss the switch restarted.

I got an UPS anyway now, SMT750RMI2U

As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP's that'd be running OpenWRT wouldn't be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.

I guess the problem you're asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you'd run into trouble, but I have no experience here.

You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):

That way you'd have a fully open OpenWRT-only network lab, so you'd always be working with the same system.

It's not exactly those dimensions, but check out Osprey Daylite Tote Pack. I read some airline summary and the OP said it fits every single one, even the more restrictive ones

The moment I realized that "SSH login" on hosted git forges like GitHub literally just means "there's a folder on a computer that you're connecting to over SSH" was crazy to me. I realized that there's no need to selfhost gitlab, gitea, forgejo. Just put a folder on user@host in the repos folder, then set the origin url to user@host:~/repos/myrepo

I think there may be some init commands needed before, like git init --bare or something

My god does anybody else downvote an article if it's blatant clickbait? How does it have 520 score? You were supposed to be better than r**dit remember?

This is true. I spent 4 months abroad recently and on the 4 month mark I started getting text messages from my operator saying "In the last 4 months you spent more time abroad than in your home country. If your usage doesn't change, we will begin billing you X.Y/GB"

In Germany's defense, if you miss a train connection due to delays, you just board the next connection without needing to have your ticket re-issued for another connection, which is cool.

But the joke is real, I was coming back from Spain to Poland by train recently and everything was fine, until my VERY FIRST STATION IN GERMANY where I got my first delay.

Yeah, but it also happens to be a significant instance with many big communities. It'd be ok if it was hosting only leftist comunities that talk only about ".M-L" stuff, but then you end up with communities like [email protected] where the rules seem to be:

  1. Talk only about privacy related things
  2. (implied) Don't criticize Xi Jingping (I'm exeggerating for comedic effect)
