  • I’m not sure if this is helpful to you or not, because it’s not what you asked. I just don’t mount them on boot though.

    I have a script that requires a unique password that decrypts everything that I actually care about. If that hasn’t been run, then the server starts emailing me every 15 minutes until I do.

    The server is not setup to reboot unless I manually tell it to or there is a power outage, so logging in to run the script has never really been an issue. At most, I’ve had to SSH in from my phone maybe a handful of times.






  • I’m not sure what you are trying to say, we shouldn’t be concerned because this problem already happened?

    A lot niche older vehicle information, if it wasn’t hosted on Reddit, was often on forums funded by enthusiasts, which eventually ran out of money and no longer exist. This is exactly the problem that I’m concerned about. Particularly so if a certain community balloons in popularity and an admin nukes it to keep the server costs under control for the other members.


  • I agree, but I also have serious concerns about this being the replacement strategy. It could be because of my ignorance of how this all works though. Like many of you, I am new and here because of the reddexodus.

    These servers are going to cost money, and for many of them the money will run out. Is there a function to preserve the collective content of an entire server once it goes dark? I know that you can migrate your own account to another server, but what happens to everything Google has indexed at Lemmy.world if the worst happens? Is it all just dead links? What if many of the users do not migrate? Is it just gone?

    I am concerned that in the current state we are setting up to burn everything that loses a couple admins or becomes too old to economically host.
