But that's good right? You shouldn't be able to open a socket on my server

How do I add libevent?

I did apk add libevent

That must be enough right?

You don't want libevent, you want epoll

It requires luaevent which isn't packaged for alpine

sagaracharya [06:33]: > But that's good right? You shouldn't be able to open a socket on my server How can anyone send you a message then?

> <sagaracharya> It requires luaevent which isn't packaged for alpine grab it from luaforge and use docker, problem solved.

By using the socket, not creating one

That message meant one can't connect to your server sagaracharya

It just won't work ✏

Also see yourself at https://connect.xmpp.net/ No checkmark means no successful connection

Menel: yes, I'm getting issues there

Which is the best hardware for data stability?

SSD, HDD, flash?

Backups

Both storing on live disk and backup

I'm currently using all flash drives

backups, on different devices by different vendors

bought on different dates

to minimize the chance of a common production hardware issue breaking your stuff

so backups and raid, obviously

(raid does not replace backups, and vice versa)

I do not use any cloud at all

You're using usb thumb sticks for storing all your data?

sagaracharya, what's your solution for off-site backups?

Unplug the stick :)

Which is the best one among ssd and hdd for storage?

Long term?

define "long term"

and by "long term", do you mean cold storage (not accessed and powered for long periods of time) or warm storage (not actively used, but connected to power and stuff, may get regular scrubs)? ✏

There's something called TBW rating, SSDs are way better

sagaracharya, fwiw, if you want help or answers, I expect you to answer questions for clarification.

Both, so active one connected to a server will be warm

And the other will be cold

Which has backups

how long of a cold term are you talking? months, years, decades? ✏

Decades

controlling the element of cost ofc

no clue

I'm not looking for $10000 drive , something pocket friendly

at the scale of decades, all electronic media suck AFAIK

:P

except maybe PROM

Then tell me about years

flash *should* work for years, but look for studies on your own if it's important to you.

CDs should also work for years

SSDs are good. I have used flash drives for 7 years

SSDs are also flash.

You asked a lot of questions and then didn't answer mine

What kind of expert opinion is that?!

I'm not an expert in long-term data durability. I researched the topic a year ago and came to the conclusion that for my use-case, paper as a backup next to a flash pendrive for convenience was the best choice.

I feel the best cheap option is internal HDD with a lot of storage. After 10 years, SSDs will be cheap

So shift to SSD then

paper don't have cookies nor javascript to gather data for UX thus it's completely rubbish

Trung, :D

😜

hi jonas’

Would y'all be open to attend an online Jitsi meet arranged by me?

Which timezone do most members here belong to?

I don't do synchronous meetings.

Guus, I don't do birthday parties either ;P

Forbidding insecure connection to/from p2.siacs.eu because its certificate has expired

someone here from siacs.eu?

(not sure if he's the right one, but I'd hope that he can get hold of daniel rather quickly)

👍️

sagaracharya: you don't need libevent at all, use the native prosody epoll support instead

moparisthebest: +1 sure, I will try it

moparisthebest: Have you read the code of prosody?

Some of it here and there
