how would I write a bash script that rsyncs a folder from a remote machine to my local box and does it daily - keeping 7 days of backups (1 each day) as well as 7 weeks of backup, 1 each week, and 7 months of backup, 1 for each month? rsnapshot so far I have the nightly backup that stores 1 for each day indefinitely It's easy to get 7-day rotation, just rsync to file.$(date +%M) (or whatever the format for ".Mon" is) but the rest of that gets complicated And since you're looking for somewhat complicated rotation schedules (vs indefinite), use a tool that's been around for ages doing this solidly with rsync: http://rsnapshot.org/ that does shared rsync, as I recall very slick as in, you rsync only the changes relative to the previous day... it hardlinks in all the unchanged files the OS automatically does GC that way. will have a closer look at rsnapshot Thanks it's really easy on zfs you can just do autosnapshotting and you can expose the snapshots Though to do that with a remote machine, you're getting into zfs send/recv (which you can do incrementally with snapshots, but really it's not addressing the specific problem that mnathani_ quoted) and -r well you can still rsync the base ones and do it on both sides or just do it on the local machine for example hmm, is there a way to have easy mail filtering like gmail for normal text clients? it's actually pretty cool how it can split forums etc up ie it automatically detects what kind of mail something is hey guys,good evening does arpnetworks have non u.s. hosting or do you guys have just one data center in the u.s. ? I believe the latter. since I've asked about that before thanks wish they'd get some geo-diversity lol,very attractive service otherwise ,ttyl it's simply a service for people who can mostly support themselves and each other more locations would be nice :) maybe a location in DE delaware? Germany oh. DE country, not DE state yeah, wider diversity :) 2 continents, instead of one Diversity... from germans. Hmm. and, as you probably know, some of the largest IXs are there up_the_irons, so when you get another location will you announce the same IP blocks at both LAX and the other one or have separate IP blocks? probably not, otherwise i'd have to have a tunnel between here and there ok, makes sense I was thinking about anycast possibilities.. well, in that case, yes :) but i don't have any anycast services right now. oh, but i suppose i could then offer it it would be super cool imo :D 2 hosts (either VMs or dedi) in either location + the same IP for both hmmmm HMMMMM i wonder what the demand for that would be you'd be the only supplier really? i'd think others would have this already... https://www.hostvirtual.com/anycast-bgp-cloud/ ^ the only other one I remember ah yeah, i've seen that +1 for anycast. hostvirtual have huge setup fees acf. they do indeed i asked them for a quote once i did look into it yea. I read that other places bbl up_the_irons: normally would add an extra anycast ip to the user. i think demand would be low, but only needs a /24 for it... i'd vote for east coast before germany myself. buyvm is the only other with anycast that i know of buyvm had huge ddos issues heaps of network outages. never used them i just remember seeing them brag about it they also apparently leaked routes onto any2ix recently. i think a few people do anycsat. it's just that i prioritise having a good network over anycast. can't wait to get out of this hotel just walk out. :) RandalSchwartz++ na i'm here for a week for work orientation then i get to go home and work from home fun times is anyone else here using ublock? i am it's amazing, right? i just tried it night'n day faster than abp indeed it is i don't think i've used abp w/chrome or chromium it was misbehaving and so i disabled it i've just always used chrome adblock, since it was around before abp published their version for chrome/chromium and safari and omg so much faster :/ That's what she said!! so i tried to look for alternatives, ublock is really recent. yaeh i've tried both, they both suck. abp's memory use is almost twice that of chrome adblock adblock's memory use is ~30MB more than ublock (i just installed it and ran through a bunch of sites) did you find ublock smoother apparently abp adds to individual pages memory usage too it seems faster and not any worse for ads right? so seems a win/win :) not that i've seen it uses the same lists ahh i hate that easylist has a 5 day update period defined in the list http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/30msiy/your_weirdest_network_interface_name_assignments/ So which am I "supposed" to use - uBlock or uBlock Origin? i'm uusing origin origin is the newer version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock UBlock :: uBlock (pronounced you-block /ˈjuːˌblɒk/) is a free and open source, cross-platform browser extension for content-filtering, including ad-blocking. It is available for several browsers, including Chromium, Firefox, and Safari. The extension has received praise from technology websites for ostensibly lighter resource usage in comparison to rival extensions as well as support as an alternative to them. Raymond Hill, the... Yeah I wasn't able to discern the difference between uBlock and Origin so the initial release was only june 2014 i just installted the top link tbh on google i found this page afterwards :) lol but it was origin Looking at release dates and version numbers, looks like Origin is akin to a beta channel 0970 vs 0940 10 May vs 5 May hard to know oh it does look that way oh ublock origin is a fork ok id uunno which one :) https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/32ory7/ublock_is_back_under_a_new_name/ a fork by the original author So... Origin it is I guess https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#performance yeah that's quite a memory saving http://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/25/official-ublock-origin-add-on-lands-for-firefox/ also explained the story a bit, and links to the FF version reddit wasn't making it make much sense to me reddit had an outage earlier today
