Re: Off-site backup
Frankly, no. I had my own doubts about running cygwin, but I'm testing on for last half a year on my production workstation and it doesn't seem to cause any issues. Care to share any links?

Re: Off-site backup
I measured both with and without compression, not much difference actually. For me, the link seems to be the limiting factor. Yes, the script could use a bit more parametrization, I might add some when I need it :-) I think I also explained why I do it this way around. As usual, I had a requirement ...

Off-site backup
Since I got so much help from this forum (hat tip to Gordon, Sakaki, MouettE and Ubi :-) ), I thought I'll share my off-site backup "system" for backing up remote Windows server. It's going to be a long post :-) 1. What and why. I'm doing IT for a small bookkeeping/financial company. They ...

Re: Practical, up-to-date (2015) use-cases for a B3?
I'll just add that I actually bought 6 of those boxes, 4x no Wifi and 2x Wifi, when they started to be discounted (I paid 60-75 Euro for each, reasonable price). 1 is my home Linux server/router/whatever I need it to be 1 sold to a friend of mine, and I continue to support it for him 1 sold to a com...

Re: Practical, up-to-date (2015) use-cases for a B3?
Klingan, do not get me wrong - I usually prefer my stuff to work out of the box (so I rarely compile from source, for example) - it's just my usecase. Compared to Synology etc. - all those boxes have 40mm fan cooling the drives, most have just a single Ethernet port. For me the silence of operation ...

Re: Practical, up-to-date (2015) use-cases for a B3?
For me the use case is "2 TB ultra-silent, power-frugal, fast NAS with normal Linux on-board" and "SSH server at home that is up 24/7".
Frankly, there is currently no alternative on the market. Zero, none.

Re: resolv.conf not updated?
The other box is router/server, set up according to your instructions - so that'd be a 'yes'.

Re: resolv.conf not updated?
Ha. Ha. Ha. Turns out I have _not_ solved this before - it's just for some weird reason on my primary box 'resolvconf -u' is run after 'systemd-resolved'. The proper solution: Add /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network [Match] Name=eth0 [Network] DHCP=ipv4 [DHCP] UseDNS=True Then: systemctl enable system...

resolv.conf not updated?
Stupid thing, and I already solved it once, but apparently forgot how I did that. My secondary B3 does not update resolv.conf with info from DHCP. It's running Arch (sakaki build). All updated to newest packages. It simply leaves resolv.conf with: # This file is managed by systemd-resolved(8). Do no...

Re: What witchcraft is this? System transfer problem
I still think that it does something to partition tables - I was only using fdisk to check/see; besides, even kernel does not recognize them. Maybe I'll dig a bit more in some spare time. Anyway, I gave up trying to restore the system - after all, the reason to set up /home on separate partition was...

What witchcraft is this? System transfer problem
I'm in deep trouble. It's quite probable you're going to facepalm a few times when reading this, but please refrain from caustic comments - I'm already quite exhausted after spending my entire Sunday (which I had other plans for) on this issue. TL;DR: I do not have working system, and B3 seems to be...

Re: Open source B4 development
You know, as much as I love the idea, I don't quite think it's feasible. To design board+chassis+software is a considerable investment. The only way it could work is to use existing board design and design just the chassis, then have it produced - which is easy for plastic shell, but uninteresting (...
