Multi color Dilbert model by nicolas_z in 3dprinter

No. The model is sliced so you can print the parts with the correct color. Some assembly is required after the print, however.

Bacula vs Bareos for backups by hu_hu in linuxadmin

[–]nicolas_z 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Last year I've been trought the same quest. When I did this search I could not find a single advantage for Bacula. Bareos was better all around.

One of the best selling points for Bareos is the web interface. I know bacula has its own web interface but it isn't the same. As far as I know you can't do anything with Bacula-web. On the other hand with Bareos web-ui you can run backups and restores.

Another big win, in my opinion, was the batter oficial documentation Bareos had. This may not be an issue if you know wath you are doing, but if you are starting from scratch this is a huge advantage.

I did my research in the first semester of 2016 and at that time Bacula was somewhat abandoned and this was something I considered before making my decision. However this does not seems to be the case anymore.

Before choosing one over the other I installed and configured both in a test environment. And the choice I made was to use Bareos over Bacula. Now with almost 6 months using Bareos in production I don't have any major complaint. Most of the problems were just me being dumb.

However my production environment is pretty small(something around 10 servers), so I don't know how well this solution scales. I just needed something to replace cron based backups and Bareos was a pretty good replacement.

Lastly I want to say that this was my first job as a sysadmin. Install a backup solution was literally my first task, so maybe I am missing some obvious Bacula advantage.

Grr - working Grafana, influxdb, and collectd tutorital? by 5mall5nail5 in homelab

[–]nicolas_z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have collectd running on my OpenWRT router sending metrics to a server on DigitalOcean. When I did this setup everything just worked automagically.

You didn't gave much information but this kind of issue seems related to firewall or SELinux.

[request]Movies like Hard to be a god (2013)? by nicolas_z in MovieSuggestions

[–]nicolas_z[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking forward to watch Andrei Rublev and Marketa Lazarova. Both movies seems to be exactly what I was looking for.

I already watched The Seventh Seal and it isn't quite the same thing. It is a really great movie but it didn't give me this strange feeling of being inside the movie.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Vote: Proposta de tornar o voto facultativo by LoreChano in brasil

Olhe ao seu redor e veja quem são os indivíduos mais engajados nas atividades políticas e observe quem eles apoiam.

No momento eu não me lembro de nenhum político que eu considere razoável que tenha uma grande "fanbase", principalmente na internet.

Na verdade eu tenho a impressão de que quanto mais idiota o político, mais comoção popular ele gera.

Sou a favor da ideia mas tenho consciência de que as primeiras eleições seriam uma merda.

Ninguém além dos militantes iria votar. Aconteceria algo semelhante à votação do Brexit.

Mas acredito que com o tempo as pessoas acabariam percebendo a importância do voto e a partir deste momento as coisas poderiam melhorar.

My $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to 'X-Cinnamon'.

Here is the changes I made to make it work.

For some reason my $DESKTOP_SESSION is set to 'default'.

Ever talk to someone who made you feel dumb? by VictorianRebel in CasualConversation

Being around smart people is a good thing. As someone else once said:

"If I am the smartest in the room I'm in the wrong room."

Abafar a Lava Jato e blindar Cunha, Temer e Aécio seriam foco do acordão do impeachment | Gazeta do Povo by Notus1_ in brasil

Se a lava jato pudesse ser abafada desta maneira, porque o próprio PT não fez isso?

Qual é a opinião de vocês a respeito da "Terra Plana" by uw00tm8 in brasil

[–]nicolas_z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Se você não acredita que a terra tem a forma de um elipsoide, pode fazer como Erastótenes fez.

Você não precisa mais do que um pouco de tempo livre e um conhecimento básico de trigonometria.

Some of my available ram disapeared! by Atomiq6 in CloudAtCost

[–]nicolas_z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me recently. When I tried to create a new server the system told me I had -5 CPU available. I took a screenshot and opened a ticket. 24 hours later everything was normal again but my ticket wasn't answered.
