Rawr-lickingly good!

Now that Easterhegg 2019 is over, it's time to catch up with all the talks you've missed!

Here's a short reminder that sync3c is a handy little tool I wrote, which lets you download/sync all the conference videos from media.ccc.de:

https://github.com/muesli/sync3c

Use it like:

# sync3c -name eh19

or

# sync3c -name eh19 -language eng

@fredmbarros

They are all there, yes! More to come...

Should my recent Go-related videos have sparked some interest in learning Go programming yourself, I've just recorded & uploaded the first part of a small series of Go tutorials:

Learn Go! - Setting Up Your Workspace

This is just a start, but as you know, I always appreciate your feedback. So let me know what you think!

@thomasfuchs

Bit of a boring choice here, but I'm gonna go with Super Mario Land, simply for all the childhood memories attached to it.

@chaomodus

"that's not a TK50 tape"

It is an LTO tape though.

@flypps

It's hard to mix them up I'm afraid 😂

One's external and huge, your's is internal and a little less noisy 😉

@brandon

Got handed to me as a present as it was replaced by a newer generation LTO drive. Guess it was my lucky day.

@roserin

What in particular are you looking for?

The connected device appears as a sequential block device (usually /dev/(n)st0. You can directly read from and write to that with tar.

For example:
tar cvf /dev/st0 /etc

There's also mt-st, which allows you to rewind tapes or seek to another record on it.

@Tuttifruttihat

A magnetic tape for backups.

@nihl

Yeah, I hear your pain.

If you restrain yourself a bit and only backup all your private content, you can actually get away with a used LTO-4 drive.

By that I mean: don't backup anything you could easily restore with a torrent client 😂

@clarjon1

It got replaced by a newer generation of LTO drive and was handed to me as a present: "here, you'll certainly find some use in that".

@franzi

That's great, because you can do a full backup on an empty sheet of paper 😆

In all seriousness tho, I meant more than just my $HOME. I'm actually going to backup an entire NAS as well. More like $ALL_MY_STUFF.

Adaptec SAS controller installed: ☑️
LTO drive connected: ☑️
Tape inserted: ☑️

Time for a full backup of $home.

@alays

"Gipferl", "Bergsteiger" oder "Granatsplitter".

Rather popular in the south, but I've also seen them in Berlin and Cologne.

@xinha

Posted a slightly lengthier reply over on YouTube, which sadly won't fit within a toot's char-limit here 😆

(otherwise I would have just copy/pasted it for you)
