You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It's even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don't have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can't afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I'd first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn't be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I'd focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I'd say it's good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

Many people on lemmy has some ideology that either consider others insufferable, or is considered insufferable by most people.

That doesn't mean that you can't organize something on social media, you just need one with freedom of expression (so, no overseeing algorithm), and a clique of people capable of organizing themselves. It may even be possible to get that here.

Hum... Did they change the name of the North-America's South-West like the Mexico president requested too?

They have clear rules for contested areas... that they follow in an as clear way as their user support rules.

You are mathing wrong. The GP is correct, except for the fact that it applies to the Y axis.

(... it's a much smaller change on the X axis anyway, something with 10 zeros before the first non-zero digit...)

Enough to make a RAID 6. As few as possible.

Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I'm not being told about a meeting to take a print.

Well, my local mail service often has less lag than Teams...

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don't have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

As long as it's not a water poodle...
