Backup-Dokumentation (Borg, Linux, getrennte Server-Struktur)
Backup documentation (Borg, Linux, separate server structure)

In den letzten Wochen habe ich mein Backup-System grundlegend überarbeitet und neu strukturiert.
Ziel war eine saubere, automatisierte Lösung mit klarer Trennung zwischen Produktionsserver und externem Backup-Server.

Das System basiert auf:
• verschlüsselten Borg-Backups
• getrennten Backup-Skripten für Dateien und Datenbanken
• zeitlich versetzten Cron-Jobs
• klar definierten Aufbewahrungsregeln
• vollständig dokumentierten Wiederherstellungsszenarien

Die Dokumentation ist bewusst allgemein formuliert und nicht auf ein spezielles Grid oder eine konkrete Datenbank zugeschnitten.
Sie kann als Anleitung für andere Administratoren dienen, die eine ähnliche Struktur umsetzen möchten.

Enthalten sind unter anderem:
• komplette Einrichtungsschritte (Repository, SSH, Passphrase-Automation)
• Beispiel-Skripte für tägliche und wöchentliche Backups
• Retention-/Prune-Strategien
• Log- und Kontrollmechanismen
• Restore einzelner Dateien
• Datenbank-Rücksicherung
• vollständiger Disaster-Recovery-Ablauf

Die PDF ist zweisprachig (Deutsch/Englisch) aufgebaut.

Download hier: http://dorenas-world.de/downloads/Anleitung-Borg.pdf

Over the past few weeks, I've completely revamped and restructured my backup system.

The goal was a clean, automated solution with a clear separation between the production server and the external backup server.

The system is based on:

• encrypted Borg backups
• separate backup scripts for files and databases
• staggered cron jobs
• clearly defined retention rules
• fully documented recovery scenarios

The documentation is intentionally general and not tailored to a specific grid or database.

It can serve as a guide for other administrators who want to implement a similar structure.


Included are:

• Complete setup steps (repository, SSH, passphrase automation)

• Sample scripts for daily and weekly backups
• Retention/prune strategies
• Logging and control mechanisms
• Restore of individual files
• Database recovery
• Complete disaster recovery process

The PDF is bilingual (German/English).

Dear Sharkbeard Dancers and Music Lovers,
the next Musical Junk Box is being delivered and will be unpacked tomorrow, Tuesday, February 17th, starting at 8:00 PM. And even though it's Shrove Tuesday – don't worry, there will be NO Carnival music (or maybe there will???). From 7:30 PM onwards, there will be unmoderated pre-show music – so come one, come all – we're looking forward to seeing you all.

Samba, Sonne, Sangria – wir drehen komplett durch! 🎉🌴
Achtung, Achtung!
Die Hüften werden geölt, die Gläser gefüllt und der Alltag bekommt Hausverbot!

Heute verwandelt sich Tosca in das heißeste Stück Brasilien nördlich des Äquators. Wenn selbst Rio de Janeiro neidisch rüberschaut und der Geist vom Karneval Samba in unsere Beine fährt, dann weißt du:
👉 Es ist Samba-Party-Time!
💃 Dresscode:
Alles, was glitzert, federt, klimpert oder beim Tanzen gefährlich wackelt.
(Je mehr Farbe, desto besser – Papagei-Level ist ausdrücklich erlaubt.)
🥁 Musik:
Samba, Latin Beats, Karnevals-Vibes und alles, was die Hüften schneller schwingen lässt als dein WLAN.
🍹 Getränke:
Caipirinha bis die Limetten Angst bekommen.
Sangria, die dich plötzlich Portugiesisch sprechen lässt.
Und natürlich genug Wasser… für die ganz Vernünftigen. (Also niemanden.)
⚠️ Warnung:
Es kann zu spontanen Polonaisen, unkontrollierbarem Hüftschwung und lauten „Olé!“-Rufen kommen.
Haftung wird nicht übernommen – besonders nicht für peinliche Tanzmoves am nächsten Morgen.
Also schnapp dir deine Lieblingsmenschen, bring gute Laune mit und lass uns feiern, bis selbst die Sonne Samba tanzt! 🌞🔥

Wer nicht kommt, muss den nächsten Caipi ausgeben! 🍹😉

Okay we're finally all moved into our new house in real life and what a job it was!! But now I have had the time to upload all the stuff I made in Meshy before I went to "radio silence" because I'm back and building again. I've made a lot of really cute Valentines items which you can see in the picture and these things are available in the landing point to our mall. There are other Valentine's items in our Holidays & Seasons area which you can find using the telepad system. Enjoy the new items and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU ALL! Blessings and much love, Lavia!

working in virtual space

Virtual space is no longer just a toy for nerds with headsets, but a continent in the making. Anyone who enters it quickly realizes: this isn't about pixels, but about possibilities.

Imagine a marketplace that never closes. Service providers no longer advise their clients amidst filing cabinets and fluorescent lights, but in designed, interactive environments. Workshops take place in spaces tailored to the topic. Education becomes accessible. Collaboration becomes a tangible, spatial experience. Expertise is given a platform – without travel time, without expensive infrastructure, without geographical boundaries.

At the same time, galleries are emerging where art is not just viewed, but experienced. Digital works don't hang on walls; they react, change, and invite immersion. Artists reach an international audience, independent of square footage and rental prices. Visitors move through curated exhibitions, speak directly with the artists, purchase works, and use them immediately. Art becomes global, interactive, and economically independent.

Products are also being reimagined. Virtual shops are not mere display windows, but experiential spaces. Clothing, furniture, scripts, entire design worlds – everything can be viewed, tested, and used immediately. Creatives build their own brand, develop their identity, and tap into a market that transcends national borders. The currency is ingenuity.

And then there are the events: nightclubs without bouncers, concerts without travel, themed parties with guests from five continents. DJs spin records, performers experiment with space, light, and interaction. Community arises not despite distance, but through new forms of connection. Geography loses its power.

Those who delve deeper discover role-playing games and narrative worlds that are more than just entertainment. Quest-based stories, collaborative adventures, spaces that respond to decisions. Here, dramaturgy, design, and technology merge into experiences that truly engage people.

For over fifteen years, I have been designing and photographing such worlds. What sounds like technology is actually a discipline at the intersection of architecture, lighting design, and psychology. A virtual space only works when proportion, atmosphere, and function work together seamlessly. Textures, light sources, and spatial depth are not mere effects, but tools for creating presence. The goal is always the same: the viewer shouldn't just watch, but step inside.

I find collaborating with game designers particularly appealing. The gaming industry is growing rapidly, but growth alone doesn't create an experience. A good gaming environment must be aesthetically pleasing and, at the same time, functional from a gameplay perspective. It must provide orientation, spark curiosity, and evoke emotions. This is precisely where the magic happens: when spatial design becomes a silent storyteller.

Interior designers and decorators also benefit from this way of thinking. Digital 3D models make it possible to precisely visualize visions before the first stone is laid. Clients don't just see plans—they move through their future spaces. Decisions become clearer, processes faster, and misunderstandings less frequent.

For real estate agents, virtual tours open up a new dimension of presentation. Prospective buyers experience a property realistically without having to be physically present. This saves time, expands reach, and significantly increases the appeal of an offering. A space that resonates emotionally doesn't sell through data, but through the impression it makes.

Virtual worlds are not a replacement for reality. They are an extension. An experimental field. A laboratory for ideas. Those who design them work at the intersection of creativity and future technology. The boundaries are not technical, but conceptual.

The question is no longer whether these spaces are relevant. The more compelling question is: Who designs them—and with what ambition?
