    Yes, you have iptables and nftables, but it’s not always enabled. So, when I said installed, I really meant enabled. I 100% agree with what you are saying though.

    Unfortunately a lot of places just have shitty IT and people go rogue because of it. Some people are just impatient though as it sounds like in this case.

    You also have things like apparmor and selinux. If those are enabled, you might be chasing your tail trying to figure out why something is not working. You would need to know where to look and how to fix it.


  • This story has nothing to do with why Linux would be any better than Windows. Sure, if you lie to people, then anything can be convincing. What if I had a firewall installed in Linux, wouldn’t you have had the same issues?

    This is sort of the problem I have with a lot of Linux enthusiasts, when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

    Compared to Windows and MacOS as a client desktop, Linux still severely falls behind, but it is getting better. For a server, Linux is just far superior.





  • The status code that gets returned should be the status code of the messenger and not the data. If you want to add a status code about the data, then please do.

    If something can return null and empty and it’s valid, that is not a 404. That is a 200.

    As far as a 403, the messenger is telling you that you shall not pass. There is no data. 403 is appropriate here. The return response can be anything since 403 is pretty self explanatory, but I would probably return json to be consistent. I would also use the field message. Something like the first one for this use case only.

    In other cases where i do get data, I would use data, message, status (optional). But status in the json response would be status about the message.






  • There are places where this is just not possible. I live in very hot climate and people would be dying all the time due to heat exhaustion and dehydration if this was the case. I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but you can’t simply say, fuck cars. It doesn’t work this way everywhere. I would say that public transportation needs to be greatly improved upon and invested in though.

    I’ve lived in places where I don’t need a car and it’s great and shitty. I’ve lived in places where you do need a car and it’s great and shitty. I’ve lived in places that have great transportation and it’s hot, but again, it’s great and shitty. There are trade-offs with whatever you go with. I do agree that we should focus more on better zoning and better public transportation.





  • You can use a few tools.

    RSync

    Rclone - probably want this one over RSync though.

    Tarsnap

    Duplicati

    Restic

    There’s obviously a lot more, but these are some of the more popular ones.

    Now you need a way to back it up. Probably the best way is to tar it up first and then dump that file. You can also get something like deadmans snitch to ensure backups don’t break.

    As you mentioned, if this is just source code, then the best thing would be to create source control and have it set up that way. Then you automate it and deploy the code when you make updates and have a history of changes.

    It sounds like tarsnap is your best bet though. It will be the cheapest.

    You can also backup to another storage provider like Google, Dropbox, or even AWS s3. S3 can get costly, but you can archive everything to the glacier tier which is pretty cheap.
