  1. Strato HiDrive on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Cloud Backup Solutions That You Recommend? · · Score: 1

    https://www.strato.com/en_us/c...
    They are not exactly cheap, and max out at 5TB (at the moment, it will probably grow in the future). But you don't need a special client since the support e.g. rsync (even over SSH), SFTP or SCP. This means you can use standard tools. And they back up your storage separately (so you can restore older stuff if needed).
    I use them since ten years or so, and never had any issues (my Synology NAS has a HiDrive app so it can sync with the cloud storage automatically).

  2. Jenkins Continuous integration game on Ask Slashdot: How To Convince a Team To Write Good Code? · · Score: 1

    see https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/The+Continuous+Integration+Game+plugin
    Continuous integration, together with a basic set of automated tests, ensures good quality all the times. And the game ensures that all participants want to get a good score :)
    Maybe you can add some (very basic) static code analysis - just some rules where everybody agrees that they are essential for good code.

  3. Re:NT and Linux differences. on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    IIRC Linux once said:
    "Linux has a micro kernel. There are only these things in it, which are needed".

  4. Re:what makes NT faster? on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    Uups. Should be RAID 0, not RAID 1 :(
    btw: they needed RAID 5, because 1 disks crashed on one day.. but runs fine the next one...

  5. Re:what makes NT faster? on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    c't magazin has also tested Linux vs. NT. 4 CPUs, 2 Gig Mem, 1 NIC 100 MBit, RAID 5 (not RAID 1 as used @Mindcraft). SuSE 6.1
    When serving 1 Million different pages with 4k each, Linux was up to 10 times faster than NT (30 pages/sec vs. 274 and more...)
    They also tested with 4 NICs with 100MBit. And won...

  6. Re:Some Issues in This Regard on Ask Slashdot: Echelon Protection? · · Score: 1

    Look at

    Giant US software manufacturer Lotus has been
    lowering the profile of information about how
    they have installed an NSA-only trapdoor into e-mail and conference systems used by many European governments,
    including the German Ministry of Defence, the
    French Ministry of Education and Research and the
    Ministry of Education in Latvia.

  7. Re:Bad Idea on "Usenet Death Penalty" against AOL · · Score: 1

    This RfD is not because of the stupid users, but because AOL Germany refuses to take action against spammers. In de.etc.finanzen.* there are more than 1500 postings from just ONE person (which uses AOL test accounts), and AOL knews about it since more than 1 month (IIRC). But they do nothing about it.
    If AOL would restrict the test accounts to read only usenet news and reacts to mails to abuse@aol.com (and not just with an ignorebot), this RfD would not be neccessary.
    btw: not the german admins or ISPs are requesting this UDP, but the german users of the de.* hierarchy.

  8. Re:We Need A Real World Benchmark on Mindcraft Study Validated · · Score: 1

    There is a benchmark under
    http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/benchmarks.h tml
    It compares 12 (unmodified and untuned )web servers. It shows, that Zeus is 3 times faster than apache when delivering small status pages...
    When using CGI, all servers are nearly equal...
    It dont use DB content. But when using DBs, there is the problem with the speed of the database... should we use oracle oder mysql oder M$ SQL server or... Such a benchmark tests the DB, not the OS...
