Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Currently, we backup our disk pretty irregularly #42 and mirror our code to GitHub (mainly for backups purposes honestly, and to get more GitHub contribution 😃). Maybe we can create a better backup plan?
Our new plan is to periodically back up our SSD to the hard disk drive, and further upload encrypted backups to Google Drive. This should work better than our current plan in the event of a disk failure or my house burning down.
Reopening since we actually need to create a better backup plan. I did get encrypted Google Drive backups set up with Déjà Dup which automatically creates a backup every week.
The goal is for this to happen automatically, but I do need to plug in the HDD manually to the server each time to make a disk backup. Everything else should be automatic.
I deleted the "secret" users repo from GitHub and archived the one on exogit, since we need a better way to backup the LDAP database.
I think we'll just back up things to the HDD more frequently, since the Gitea dump is really big and I don't have room in my cloud storage for it.
If my house burns down we're kind of screwed but that's not going to happen right...
Reopening because I think there are some improvements we can make to the backup plan:

It might help to make backups opt-in to reduce our backup size. A lot of user home folders have tons of files and downloads in them that take up a lot of space, so this would result in huge space and time savings for backups. If you want your home directory backed up, just reply to this issue.
I think we'll stick to using
bup
for now despite its disadvantages. I'll try to do backups every two weeks from now on. If anyone would like their home directory to be backed up, please reply.
