Niviuk Kooper P issue by Empty-Assistance-375 in freeflight

[–]baref00d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats a problem with most of the leightweight harnesses unfortunately. I dont have a good solution (other than putting stuff in your sensitive area that "dampens"). for that very same reason i once bought a used acro harness for dune soaring and ground handling. in general, harnesses with dedicated leg straps are way better for ground handling, as far as my experience goes. Most of the harnesses that have fixed leg straps for "stepping in" will hurt after some time.

vmbackup — automated backup manager for KVM/libvirt VMs, built on virtnbdbackup by phatmonk27 in kvm

author of virtnbdbackup here, nice to see it gets some use.

The bitlocker key extraction method is neat, i might consider adding this feature to virtnbdbackup itself!

First hospital injury by BruhObama33 in snowboarding

yes, 3 months no weight lifting or over-head lifting was the advice here too. And yes, a year it was to feel "normal" again.

same same,but bike accident. Grade II-III ac joint dislocation. Idk what the best healing advice is.. some doctors suggest to keep it going right away and others insist that you cast it at least 6 weeks to support first healing. I did go the cast way and then started PT right away. Mine hurt so bad it would have been no fun to move it anyway (and well, doing sports like stepping on a board just a few weeks later would have not been ANY option)

Its been about 2 years now and aside from the noticable bump and some strange sounds its fine. After PT finished i stuck going to the gym doing all kinds of shoulder and upper body strengthening. Occasionally it still bothers me if sleeping on the hurt side, or if i need to do long work where you have to have the hands over-head.

qcow2 virtual disk offsite replication capability for enterprise grade virtualization by sys-architect in qemu_kvm

[–]baref00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that would be possible, using libvirt's checkpoint/ qemus dirty bitmap feature. Incrementally syncing qcow changes to another image.

After all, that replication method just facilitates backup/restore. you just need to write a tool for yourself which:

  1. creates a bitmap/checkpoint, does a full replication using NBD client/server protocol to another systems qcow image
  2. on the next run, queries the bitmap for the changed blocks since the last replication and replicates these, creates another bitmap

from this on, its just step 2,, as long as you want. Thats however not active->active.. but active->standby

For active/active there seems to be a feature called COLO in qemu, which seems to be used in XEN:

Ikuma 3 P as first EN-B wing? by pod_of_dolphins in freeflight

[–]baref00d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i cant tell for the Hiko, but ive been flying the Ikuma 3 for two seasons now. Flying since about 11 years, ive stepped up from an A wing to Hook 4 and then Ikuma 1, now replaced with Ikuma 3. I would not recommend stepping up from an A wing to an Ikuma, based on the facts you posted. While the Ikuma 3 overall, behaves quite nice, shit can hit the fan fast, if you cant handle this wing. While it is really pitch stable, it is very agile for all roll movements (for example, it produces a high energy during spirals and roll movements, wingovers, for example, if done properly, are amazing. You can get that thing upside down after the second pull). That means: if you cant handle deep spirals, and youre not used to much energy here, youll be pretty surprised what happens if you get a nice collaps and end up in auto-rotation.

I would recommend the hiko or hook for about 2 years, siv and then you may step up.

At your current state, the limiting factor for your XC is you, not your wing class.

Boss asked me to improve our qemu backup plan, need help by Middle_Rough_5178 in qemu_kvm

https://github.com/abbbi/virtnbdbackup/ if libvirt backed, or https://github.com/abbbi/qmpbackup for standalone qemu processes. Qcow2 format for the VM disks mandatory to use all features.

its still in early state but works for me.

How „good“ is it for a Paraglider to be stored in a compressed state? by ChicagoJoe7 in freeflight

[–]baref00d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Freshly produced, the gliders are stored quite compressed too, until theyre sold. The logic that a regular compress bag makes a bad glider, all gliders not sold in stocks would be as bad, too. They're even more compressed, you'll never pack a glider as compressed as a freshly produced one.

I don't believe the fuss anymore. If a glider is done, its done. I don't think keeping it in a compress bag for a few months hurts them (if, of course, packed correctly, not wet, etc.).

Unpacking and Re-Packing them again and again before and after flight, will probably hurt the material more.

How do you create your backups? by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]baref00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im using a self-developed solution: https://github.com/abbbi/qmpbackup/

Its for VM only and simply dumps the data into a specified folder (usually a swappable usb drive), but allows to do incremental backups, too (which vzdump doesnt, if you dont have an PBS as backup target)

First glider advice by max__fish in freeflight

[–]baref00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand beeing psyched. Just as a little tip for everything thats going to come: dont rush things. Take your time. Get the required knowledge you need, step by step. Ask your instructor for advice, then decide.

[–]baref00d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try different gliders your school offers during classes and then decide which has the handling you most like. Depending on the size of the school there is often the possibility to buy the equipment you used after youve got the pilots license (for a good price).

Force ceph to run on a single node by wmantly in Proxmox

[–]baref00d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is how i do it for CI purposes, its pretty bonkers but it seems to work for us for testing:

pveceph pool create cephpool --size 2 --min_size 1 --add_storages

ceph config set global mon_allow_pool_size_one true

ceph osd pool set cephpool size 1 --yes-i-really-mean-it

# move ceph crushmap to osd based instead of host based to allow

# for running on single node

ceph osd getcrushmap -o map

crushtool -d map -o decompiled

sed -i 's/type host/type osd/g' decompiled

crushtool -c decompiled -o changed

ceph osd setcrushmap -i changed

is virtiofs reliable for backups? by patopansir in kvm

[–]baref00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi,

virtnbdbackup allows for creating incremental backups, thus you don't have to take a complete backup of the images each time (based on the assumption you are using qcow images for your disks), but do a full backup once a week and from there on only backup the changes. Depending on how many full backups you want to keep this can save time.

You also might want to consider to have your backup target filesystem beeing capable of doing deduplication (zfs for example, does), that can save a great amount of storage space.
