[kevinmarks] Json is valid yaml
#
[kevinmarks] Yaml is the union of all text markup
#
Zegnat [kevinmarks], are you saying a JSON Feed is also a valid YAML Feed? That’s not good.
#
ben_thatmustbeme Wait what? Really??
#
[kevinmarks] “The primary objective of this revision is to bring YAML into compliance with JSON as an official subset.” http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html

Zegnat Interesting. PHP’s scandir() will return a filename with :: when the actual filename on macOS contains //
sknebel_2, sknebel and tantek joined the channel
#
jjuran Zegnat: The actual filename really does contain "::" at the OS level. The Finder and other UI components display ':' as '/' for backward compatibility with classic Mac OS.
#
Zegnat I figured, jjuran. Also because you can’t enter a literal : in a filename.
#
Zegnat A little counter intuitive imho, but manageable.
#
jjuran NeXTstep did the same trick to deal with HFS disks in the 90's.

aaronpk my AWS bandwidth bill is getting quite large, anyone know how to track down what in particular is contributing to my bandwidth line item on my bill?
#
eli_oat I think this might be the ticket to track that down: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15218839/how-to-aws-bandwidth-report-for-a-year
#
eli_oat you can download usage reports
#
eli_oat (disclaimer, I've never actually used AWS. I've only had to look it up for clients)
#
tantek aaronpk: that is a VERY good FAQ to add to /AWS
#
tantek or presumably /S3 ?
#
aaronpk i'm not sure it's S3 actually
#
aaronpk that's what i need to find out
#
aaronpk it's just billed as "bandwidth"
#
tantek then definitely /AWS#FAQ "bandwidth bill" or something
#
aaronpk wow those reports are way too detailed
#
eli_oat #gottaloveyourselfsomeexceldatagrinding
#
eli_oat I know some folks run into gotchya's with IPs and AWS...I think it is cheaper to have a private IP than a public one, maybe? I can do some digging
#
aaronpk ah i figured it out, it's bandwidth for Glacier
#
aaronpk my private dropbox backs up to Glacier, which apparently is now 80gb/month going up to Glacier
#
aaronpk going to disable that since i have an alternative backup service now
#
eli_oat woof
#
GWG You have a private Dropbox? Which? Owncloud?
#
aaronpk Synology
#
GWG Oh, a NAS
#
tantek what is Glacier
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Glacier" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
aaronpk what is Amazon Glacier?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Amazon Glacier" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
aaronpk Glacier is [[Amazon Glacier]]
#
Loqi ok
#
loqi.me created /Glacier (+27) "prompted by tantek and dfn added by aaronpk" (view diff)
#
GWG I want to get off Dropbox, just haven't built anything
#
aaronpk Amazon Glacier is an online backup service by [[AWS]] intended for long-term archiving of large files
#
Loqi ok
#
loqi.me created /Amazon_Glacier (+129) "prompted by aaronpk and dfn added by aaronpk" (view diff)
#
eli_oat I've oggled many a synology. I'm running a home-grown raspberry pi with a heap of ancient HDs. It is rickity, noisey, but so far is working pretty well.
#
tantek what is a synology?
#
Loqi Synology is a company that makes storage products which allow installation of apps, and can be used as a home web server https://indieweb.org/Synology
#
GWG I used to build my own. Then it died and I bought a cheap QNAP
#
aaronpk same
#
GWG I don't remember why I went QNAP over Synology at the time.
#
GWG I do recall it was a weekend and I ran to the store.
#
aaronpk i think QNAP is cheaper maybe
#
GWG That isn't always a good thing. Haven't had a problem with it though

petermolnar GWG https://syncthing.net/ + random linux box with lots of disk
#
GWG I just installed Owncloud on the QNAP
#
petermolnar by the way, the best home server is an old thinkpad with 2 hdds, eg. a T500
#
petermolnar built-in ups, built-in gsm modem - alert in case of power failure - small, silent
#
GWG I have one of those, an old R61.
#
petermolnar perfect
#
GWG But I'm fine right now
#
petermolnar mine is running under a chest of drawers, it's quite hidden as well
#
petermolnar syncs everything to a remote rented server
#
petermolnar so that's backups at different geolocations
#
GWG I'm setting up sync to S3 right now.
#
petermolnar too expensive
#
GWG Also, I have a secondary location that is online 8 months of the year, and an option for another one that is online 12 months of the year
#
GWG AKA, my relatives
