Ransomware readiness scored per service, 0–100, weighted by what actually determines recovery.
Immutable backups and MFA carry the highest weight. Backup testing, offsite storage, patch management, encryption, credential management, account recovery, criticality — all factored in. Services scoring below 40 flagged as critical.

I've followed @stefano 's excellent guide https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/08/21/automating-zfs-snapshots-for-peace-of-mind/ to setup automatic ZFS snapshots on my laptop and servers using zfs-autobackup (https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup ).

But there's one thing I'm not quite sure about: if I use zfs-autobackup to make a periodic remote backup from my laptop to my server, what kind of retention scheme would make sense?

Let's say I'd like to make daily backups of my laptop to the server, and keep 7 daily backups for a week, one backup for every month for a year, and keep a yearly backup for 5 years. In zfs-autobackup syntax, it would be "1d1w,1m1y,1y5y" if I'm correct. But the backup server is also automatically snapshotted. So where do I put the retention policy? My gut says something like "1d1w" from the laptop and then "1d1w,1m1y,1y5y" on the backup server should do the trick, but I'm a little bit confused by the double snapshots.

Any words of wisdom are appreciated 😅

Stressed about MySQL backups in Docker? You're not alone! 🐳 Here's the gist: never just copy volumes—use mysqldump for safe, consistent backups. Also, Docker’s MySQL image auto-creates users & DBs—no manual setup! 🔐

How do you handle database backups in CI/CD? Any tools or cloud storage setups (S3, etc.) you trust?

The Single Worst Thing You Can Do With Your Camera Settings

Backup discipline isn't just an IT policy — losing two years of Fuji X-T3 custom settings in one reset taught me that lesson more viscerally than any security framework ever did.
