Re: Leveraging VSS and Robocopy for Robust Backups

Old geek — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 06:38:33 -0000

You don't necessarily need multiple backups. You can do scheduled VSS snapshots in place on the source system and that gives you history, with very little storage space (block level deltas). It just doesn't give you a backup of the history. Of course overwriting the one backup can be a concern, but that's a little different point.

cd /etc/
sudo nano hosts
(Hosts is a file, not a directory, so it won't cd you there..)

Wow... 7 years later. Ubuntu 16.04 and this is still an issue. I just restarted my Chrome to see if this fix did the trick and it seems to be working so far! Thank you!

I used 6697 and I still have the SSL handshake failed issue. Did you have to change anything else?

/ignore -network slack -regexp -pattern (active|away) * MODES
Will remove only this annoying messages, other "Mode" changes will be logged.

Thanks for the pointers! I did find it easier to manage MSGS by ignoring them in IRC as well, and using the XMPP gateway to handle 1v1 communications.

Ryan: tried using port 6697?
OP: You have a mistake in your command there ^.
Port 6667 is used for plain text and 6697 for ssl

Re: Django Class Based View Mixins: Part 2

Hi, I am not sure if we are using different versions of Python but shouldn't it be 'class WidgetListView(FilterMixin , SortMixin , ListView):' in stead of 'class WidgetListView(ListView, SortMixin, FilterMixin):' ? I tried on Python 2.7 and the first one works and the second doesn't.

Re: Using Django Authentication with Twisted Perspective Broker

I am currently working on a Django Application, were I wanted to add a chat feature. I would like to handle the chat request by Twisted, and the authentication part by Django. I'm running the server in Apache. Is it possible to possible? Do you have a blog on that?

I'm using OS X 10.10 and installed irssi (0.8.17) via homebrew. I'm getting the following error message when trying to connect:

10:54 -!- Irssi: Looking up xxx.irc.slack.com
10:54 -!- Irssi: Connecting to xxx.irc.slack.com [54.243.100.94] port 6667
10:54 -!- Irssi: warning SSL handshake failed: Connection reset by peer
10:54 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to xxx.irc.slack.com

Are you running this on OS X, or on Linux? I am not very confident of software installed via homebrew that use SSL.

I have the same issue, but haven't found a way to work around it yet. Let me know if you do :)

any suggestions on dealing with away status?

If I explicitly set "/away reason" slack seems to pick that up as being equivalent to "Set yourself away." in the web-ui, but then when I "/away" slack never resets me to "active" (unless I login to the web ui and click the box there)

A very nice read! We wrote a high-level post on the additional tools and services we use for our Django pages: Our extended Django stack.
Our post on our Core Django Stack is less of a tutorial than this, but might offer some additional insight into why some components are better than others (e.g. Postgres vs MySQL)

Rob,I found your Django-RADIUS highly useful as I can keep log in to Django even when the server is down.This makes single server or multiple server radius authentication really simple and easy. Educator.com courses
