Thanks to you I realized, Clipboard Indicator can do that too. So now I bound Super+V
to show the clipboard, and I can search it with the keyboard, select entries, etc.

Thank you for the tipp! I tried
copyq
but it looks like it doesn’t open after trying to set a shortcut in the app or in GNOME.I can live without it, it’s just so extremly convenient to have this. At least I know that I’m not the only one missing this.
KDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I’m going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)
My currently used extensions are:
- AATWS (advanced alt-tab window switcher)
- Clipboard Indicator
- Vitals (system resource usage)
- AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
- Caffeine
- Launch New Instance
- No overview at start-up
- Places Status Indicator
- Workspace Indicator
There’s a feature I’m really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish2·27 days agoJust a misunderstanding, then. I did not intend to talk down on a hosting provider I don’t even know. Instead, I prioritize hetzner because I’m familiar with them and they’re based in europe.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·27 days agoI didn’t intend to be elitist about anything and I actually fail to see the elitism by saying “that hoster is not about providing cheap storage”? Maybe there’s something in the english language I do not pickup on?
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish11·27 days agoYeah, hetzner’s more about having your own servers than providing cheap storage.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·27 days agoProton also seems to be interesting. Privacy by default and being swiss based definitely are plus points.
Thanks for the mentions!
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·27 days agoyou can run the open source control plane called Headscale instead of relying on Tailscale’s (the company) free service tier
Ah, that sounds more interesting. I still have time until I buy everything, there’s still going to be a lot of research, especially with all the ideas and feedback people have given me in this thread.
I’ll definitely try it, thanks!
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish2·27 days agoNot sure if it checks all the boxes perfectly, but if not it is probably as close as youll find ready-made
That’s a good point. To have cohesion and good integration, some sacrifices have to be made. This seems better than having 20 independent services working with (and sometimes probably against) each other.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish2·27 days agoThanks for the heads-up! Those sound like acceptable problems, as long as they’re temporary and my data is safe.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish2·27 days agoGoogle is evil but I know that GDrive has pretty low prices on data storage […] Don’t forget to encrypt everything when uploading to these services!
That is what I am hoping for :) My free Google account grants me 15GB of online storage and my free Microsoft account provides me with another 5GB. The 15 GB should be enough for encrypted photo backups, while 5GB definitely is enough for encrypted calendar, contact and probably some document backups. I just need to find a way to automate backups to these.
based in the USA, priced at 3$/TB/month
If I am going to pay money for something and with how the world currently is, I’m going to use some EU based service. My only VPS resides at hetzner, if the need arises I will probably just add a storage volume to my VPS or upgrade it to the next tier.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·28 days agoUp to personal preference if you trust a fork for this work
I see 3600 stars and I guess that’s kinda trustworthy :) I also do like some of the enhancements listed on the github page. I’ll try it, thank you very much!
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·28 days agoThen I give praise to you, for you are more prepared than any other individual I personally know of and even some smaller companies I had worked with.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·28 days agoOkay so not critical, just mildly inconvenient if lost.
I wouldn’t put it at “mildly inconvenient”, as the photos I could lose can never be restored. Most of the other things can. I’d be really sad if I lost all the photos, but it wouldn’t threaten my existence in any way.
I’m sorry, I should have specified in more detail what I meant by “critical”.
It’s not life-threatening, it’s just critical to me. It’s kinda like “my priciest possession” could mean a yacht or a half-dead car, depending on the context.
[EDIT]
a disk failure is probably the most likely failure scenario. Corruption is the second most likely
Yes, these are things that are 100% going to happen at some point. I cannot guarantee theft, floods, earthquakes or anything like that, but hardware degrades with time and use, so at some point things are going to fail.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·28 days agoNot make or break by any means
That’s great to hear. I can always buy better hardware later and first test if things run with what I already have. I don’t like to have my IT wasting in some drawer.
Thank you for your advice!
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·28 days agotailscale with headscale over openvpn
Is a vpn inside a vpn really improving security at all? Or is there a different reason to use tailscale inside a vpn?
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish0·28 days agoI assume you basically want protection against disasters, but not high uptime. (E.g. you likely can live with a week of unavailability if after a week you can recover the data.)
Exactly. These are not business-data, but my personal data. No money or absolutely necessary thing is lost if I lose all of that.
The key is about proper backups.
Thanks to other commenters I realized, I can just export contacts, calendar events and photos every night to some on-disk location and back them up somewhere offsite. This would probably be a few GB only. The other ~1.5 TB of data is stuff like movies, music, old games that I’d probably never get anywhere else etc. My data is not life-threatening. It’s just “critical” to me.
Via google I found that you can export your calendars via a URL, so I my current backup plan is this:
- daily backup from onsite-hypervisor to onsite-backup server (all VMs and all data)
- daily export of calendar and contacts
- backup calendar, contacts and photos to offsite-location
This way, I’d still be compliant to the 3-2-1 rule (just not for all my data), while saving quite some money on the offsite data storage.
As you are already using nextcloud, could you verify if exporting calendars and contacts work with these 2 URLs?
# calendar export https://${NEXTCLOUD_URL}/remote.php/dav/calendars/${NEXTCLOUD_USER}/${CALENDAR_NAME}/?export # contacts https://${NEXTCLOUD_URL}/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/${NEXTCLOUD_USER}/contacts/?export
This is the command used in this tutorial. The website is in german, scroll down for bash, python, nodeJS and windows powershell examples.
curl -L -J -O -u "$username:$password" "$downloadLink" --create-dirs -o "./$(basename "$url")"
my Nextcloud server is running in a datacenter. Every week I run a backup to a USB drive that I keep in a third location.
If you don’t mind me asking, how much are you paying for your datacenter server and the third location?
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·29 days agoyou can’t seem to restrict people commenting on a file you shared
That’s okay. My circle of friends I’d share files with is not all too big. So everything stays between a few people anyway.
Nextcloud often updates and sometimes breaks small things
Does breaking stuff happen often? I plan to use the docker image nextcloud:stable-fpm in the hopes of bypassing some bugged releases.
hamsda@lemm.eeOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Seeking advice for selfhosting critical dataEnglish1·29 days agoI’ve done nothing special regarding security and have it exposed to the public internet. I intend on having fail2ban look at its logs but I’ve not yet set that up
That sounds kinda dangerous. I remember years ago, when I rented my first vcloud-server, within the first 10 minutes I had bots trying to get in via SSH. I’d be way too paranoid.
I would recommend having it entirely behind a VPN
Yes, that’s my plan. I intend to create a new OpenVPN server on my pfSense with access only to the nextcloud VM. This would also allow me to share the vpn config files with my friends without a password, as the authentication is done by inline-cert vpn config.
Thanks for your input, but it seems the Pano gnome extensions page hasn’t been updated for ages. I’m running GNOME 48 and the extension page shows GNOME 45 as the latest supported version.
Doesn’t matter, I realized Clipboard Indicator can be called by a key combination, it just won’t float in the middle or below my mouse cursor. I guess without creating my own, I’m not gonna get it any better :)
