| schestowitz__ | I have just realised, by coincidence, that we have not been backing up the TR DBs at all. When mysql/mariadb was removed from that server it stopped having access to the mysql dump tools | Mar 02 00:46 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz__ | OK, I have just successfully taken backups of all 3 DBs. | Mar 02 00:50 |
| schestowitz__ | I noticed this only because I wanted to tinker with https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/005813.html https://git.sr.ht/~sbgodin/htmgem/refs | Mar 02 00:50 |

| schestowitz__ | it's alpha so not wise to try on prod anyway | Mar 02 00:50 |

| Techrights-sec | the TM database is still on the localhost? | Mar 02 06:43 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, and backups of it worked both locally and remotely, as the dumping is done on that host | Mar 02 06:43 |
| schestowitz__ | I've made a complete backup of pi:/home/* | Mar 02 06:59 |

| Techrights-sec | great | Mar 02 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec | that's abotu 1.2 GB | Mar 02 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec | though some of those would be hardlinks to the other directory | Mar 02 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec | I presume it was with tar, with or without --hard-dereference | Mar 02 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec | 2.3 GB for /home/ | Mar 02 08:00 |
| schestowitz__ | just 2.3 gb but about 100k files | Mar 02 08:02 |
| schestowitz__ | rsync took ages over this | Mar 02 08:02 |
| Techrights-sec | Ethernet is faster than wireless | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | ssh pi@xx.yy.zz.aa 'sudo tar zcf - /home/' > home.tar.gz | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | or | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | ssh pi@xx.yy.zz.aa 'sudo tar cf - /home/' > home.tar; gzip home.tar | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | depending on where the bottlneck is: CPU or bandwidth | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | remember that tc is in place. it probably needs tuning. it definitely | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | has a low limit on all network I/O | Mar 02 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | I've added Lock_tables_priv to boycottn_wrdp1_ro, it can now do backups. | Mar 02 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec | Also, the backups run fine remotely so they don't need to be on the same | Mar 02 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec | machine any more, if it saves a step to move the scripts. Probably not though. | Mar 02 08:39 |
| schestowitz__ | in case of raid issues it might help to do a weekly db offsite backup | Mar 02 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec | I've updated get_dbs.sh | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | it uses the ro user now | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | We'll have to double check tomorrow to ensure that it did the backup ok. | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | Offsite is done intermittently here. | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | I don't remember often and that's mostly because when I do, it would | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | interfere with site usage. The downloads were noticeable on the old server | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | so there was only a narrow window of time each day when it was a good idea | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | to try. I can see how it is now. | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | I should get an additional drive for that, too, but it will have to | Mar 02 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | wait until there is some kind of sale. There should be one before summer. | Mar 02 08:54 |
| schestowitz__ | after moving monitoring away from email and putting it in tmux the tmux pane was too small to read most things on. I will need to think of a contingency. | Mar 02 08:55 |
| Techrights-sec | resize tmux to the size needed | Mar 02 09:42 |
| Techrights-sec | 184x52 is max for me though | Mar 02 09:42 |
| schestowitz__ | in tmux the lower res user imposes the downscaling on the other. anyway, many of these checks (like disk space) are obsolete, it just helps to have sanity checks n DB dump size for TM and BN/TR, to avoid the worst of all catastrophes | Mar 02 09:45 |
| schestowitz__ | our ipfs expert is rebuilding his node as openbsd (tired of linux), so the ipfs pinned mirror is down for a few days and thus I run it locally throughout the day today, maybe tomorrow also | Mar 02 09:46 |
| schestowitz__ | in other new mjg is bored (unemployed I assume) and is trolling our irc channel more | Mar 02 09:47 |

| Techrights-sec | the good side is that he's not at Google any more. Goolge / Alphabet has become really a bad place. I do hope that he uses the | Mar 02 13:50 |
| Techrights-sec | time between jobs or at the new job to grow a bit. | Mar 02 13:50 |
| Techrights-sec | But after age 5 or so, peole usually don't change or improve | Mar 02 13:50 |
| Techrights-sec | just gain new skills only | Mar 02 13:50 |
| Techrights-sec | so one approach might be just to not waste time on interaction with him except in the few areas where there is established agree | Mar 02 13:50 |
| Techrights-sec | ment and opportunity for cooperation | Mar 02 13:50 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, I try to get him on our side even if it seems hopeless (was done before) | Mar 02 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure it is worth it to try to convince him of anything, jsut interact | Mar 02 13:52 |
| Techrights-sec | only where there is clear unity already. | Mar 02 13:52 |
| schestowitz__ | in the latest pocock piece i've copied the images across | Mar 02 16:06 |
| Techrights-sec | great | Mar 02 16:49 |
