schestowitzjust a headsupAug 29 03:29
schestowitzI finally got around to doing a full irc backupAug 29 03:29
schestowitzI installed openssh and rsync on the tontainer, using 'apk add' (it is VERY fast)Aug 29 03:30
schestowitzit's now easy to make backups, e.g. ircd:/home/ircd/ergo# rsync ../ergo/* youAug 29 03:31
schestowitzthe key files are the DB, the configs (ircs.db and .yaml). The .log file is for history' scrollbacks, but it's all there neatly in the homedir and no external databasesAug 29 03:32
schestowitz*ircd , not ircs (typo)Aug 29 03:33
schestowitzfor renewal of ssl certs we use certbot (eff software, back when they produced some......)Aug 29 03:33

Techrights-secdo you have a script for backing up ircd?  Does the database need to be Aug 29 08:35
Techrights-secpaused or otherwise dealt with during rsync backup?Aug 29 08:35
Techrights-secthe db is just a small flat file, a list of usersAug 29 08:35
Techrights-secadmins are in the yaml config files, it's very easy to read. just be careful iif you access the container (ircd) for a poke as it is sensitive and our whole comms network depends on itAug 29 08:36

schestowitz-TRoif course but we do not focus on those, we have limited cpaacity Aug 29 15:51
Techrights-secYes.  But the general trend is that the "news" seems to be written these daysAug 29 15:54
Techrights-secalmost entirely by those with conflicts of interests.  It's more like pressAug 29 15:54
Techrights-secreleases than reporting.  Or lobbying than reporting.  Aug 29 15:54

schestowitz-TRit is mutkware, themukt, linuxveda thinking that yet abother domain name change will salvage the zero-reputation crap... I follow RSS just for giggles. It's like 100% spam, even Microsoft spam.Aug 29 16:04

schestowitz-TRit's so broad a problem that it is not even limited to tech so I would rather focus on estonia tonight and now the latest Microsoft catastrophe (whatever little press coverd it) and corrupt(ed) "journlists"Aug 29 16:11
