Most of them were full of bots and scammers even before the AI craze. I can only imagine how bad they are now.
I’ll say that I had a good experience with Coffee Meets Bagel but that was years ago. Their gimmick at the time was that they only showed you up to 10 profiles per day so it didn’t incentivize doomscrolling like Tinder.

Next you’re going to tell me that my fridge is not a database either.

on What is your cloud backup solution? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
The cheapest options I’ve found over the years are mostly black Friday sales on lifetime plans. Be careful who you trust, of course. There are lots of scammy ones out there, but there are also some reputable companies that have been around a good long while still offering lifetime plans. Check reviews before buying.
Over the years I’ve picked up cheap(ish) lifetime memberships with pCloud, Koofr, and Filen. I’ve already gotten my money’s worth out of them.
I use Borg to create encrypted backups on an external HD, and then I periodically sync that to cloud providers. I prefer E2EE services but it’s not a strict requirement for backups since Borg encrypts them anyway.
On Windows I recommend Kopia instead of Borg, at least until Borg gets an official stable windows build (planned for 2.0, currently in beta)
I exclude most things I could re-download like games and movies so 1TB covers my needs pretty well.
I have lots of places I can use regex to match strings, but otherwise have no easy way to say “match any in list”.
Is it stupid? Sure. But I can’t fix the umpteen web consoles I manage; I have to work with them as they are.
