Boar: python-based personal file repository/backup solution?

chris — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 16:01:47 +0000

Yet another file repo? Boar seems to fit a niche for personal long-term backup and maintenance of files, including larger files which the likes of SVN tends to choke on.

To summarize: the ideal storage for your important files should have the following properties.

File integrity must be guaranteed by checksums and easily verifiable.

File history is an essential part of your data. It must be backed up and stored redundantly, just as your other data.

No accidential changes in the storage should be possible – this especially goes for data deletion.

Storage must be efficient – collapsing redundant data blocks when possible.

There should be no artificial limits on file sizes.

The storage format must be very simple, so that software obsolescense will not render the storage unreadable.

It must be fast to access the data. This is not a backup archive, this is the primary location of the data, and therefore speed is important

The project seems to have the correct notion for a day-to-day file backup and history system.

Teamspeak… Ventrilo… Mumble?

Mumble sounds like it’s becoming the opensource voice chat for gaming that I’d always hoped teamspeak or ventrilo would eventually turn into.

This bears investigation.

MaximumPC gives some fairly solid upgrade advice

For those gamers or hardware enthusiasts looking for a decent upgrade, MaximumPC has a pretty good overview of parts and technologies currently in the “sweet spot”. This article is aimed at the PC upgrader, but is just as valid for the do-it-yourselfer building his own rig on a budget.

Following on the heels of that, ExtremeTech has come out with an article for upgrading a gaming PC, with 6 different price points.

:D
