hihi up_the_irons: any update on that server (to host the new thunder ordres)? also,it would be super cool to not have to probe you guys for responses on service i put in a request for on last thursday (literally 0 non-automated have been sent to me since placing the order) Thun der. Da na na na na na na. or.. maybe remove the "expect to receive an email from us with an ETA on your server setup within 4 hours." bit from the mail i think they simply overestimated Thunder's popularity qbit: strange, I thought I *did* reply to your email qbit: update: the new host was created last night, so I'm going to create new Thunder's on it today JC_Denton: that's a fair statement, at least as of the last couple weeks. explosion of new orders. it started off slow though after introduction. i think that's the way most new products work... i try to recommend y'all as much as i can ;) :) new idea for the trello though, stickers. done down at the bottom under "Ideas" "so I'm going to create new Thunder's on it today" faster, up_the_irons , faster! :D m0ar thundar up_the_irons: re: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/main/do-you-provide-backup-services : is the underlying storage zfs or something bit rot resistant? http://www.rainymood.com/ thunder! JC_Denton: "Stored in a RAID-1 array, so a single disk failure will not destroy your backups" And given it's an "old" Linux box, pretty sure it's not ZFS I can check mine... (fwiw I backup and store par2's of my backup files) quota lists the storage device as /dev/md3 and Python's os.uname reports: ('Linux', 'r1.lax', '2.6.32-41-server', '#91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 13 11:58:56 UTC 2012', 'x86_64') (That's right, up_the_irons , I got around the lack of "uname" in the chroot/jail/thing and used Python :P) lol l337 h4x0r brycec ;) I like a good challenge :p btw, i thought par2 was dead Anything but dead on Usenet when it comes to distributing binaries And in my case, duplicity has a par2-wrapper to par2 the backup sets i thought usenet was dead nope. still chugging along. Anything but dead when it comes to distributing binaries well, yes, there's that That's what she said!! Re: par2 with duplicity http://duplicity.nongnu.org/duplicity.1.html#sect21 do people have conversations on usenet still? Did _people_ ever have _conversations_ on usenet in the first place? :p yes :) I don't buy it. It's always been trolls arguing, fact. Might as well ask whether people still have conversations on Twitter. well arguing can mean a conversation not having a conversation would be stonewalling. lol, googling for something unrelated re: duplicity and you get up_the_irons's blog :D heh JC_Denton: like brycec said, it's just a RAID-1 brycec: clever about Python, clever... JC_Denton: so my blog still gets hits? lol
