[CODE4LIB] NEcode4lib?

[Joseph Montibello]

Hi,

It looks like there was a New England regional a couple of years ago. Is there 
still any activity/interest in this region? I can imagine that in addition to 
folks who missed the registration power-hour, there might be a significant 
group that can't get their library to support a trip to Seattle.

Just curious.

Definitely. Some colleagues in New Haven and I put in a proposal to
host the 2011 conference here:
 I'm still
interested in the possibility of hosting a regional, and Yale could
certainly be an option to host.

There would be interest from me, depending on where in New England and
costs. Boston, for instance,might be a bit far from Binghamton NY and
more expensive to stay at. However, if it were closer to the NY
border

Of course, if there is enough people that want Boston, I'd say go for
it and I'll try to come if I can.

Hi Joe,

I think there'd certainly be significant interest. IIRC, the few of us
who organized the last one--my god, was it three years ago?--figured
we'd leave it to others to step up and drive the next gathering. That
clearly never happened.

I'm happy to get involved again though. I may even have access to a
venue we could use here at the CfA in Cambridge.

I know for a fact of at least three people from Tufts who would go to a New 
England regional, and it would probably be more than that.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Linux Laptop

[Mark Jordan]

Apologies to anyone who is not interested in this thread, but I'm curious to 
know what backup software comparable to OS X Time Machine Linux users have on 
their lap/desktops. Time Machine is one of those parts of OS X that would make 
it hard for me to emigrate from the garden.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Linux Laptop

I've been happy with sbackup for a while now, though I believe the
latest Ubuntus are using DejaDup?

But I can't remember the last time I needed to restore a file.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Linux Laptop

[Thomas Bennett]

I don't know how it compares to Time Machine but as far as Linux backup 
software goes I really like Bacula.  You can backup to disk, tape, or tape 
libraries.

Me either - my use case is restoring my whole system. I've had two Macbooks 
over 5.5 years and I've used TM to restore the entire system 3 times, either 
because of a hard drive replacement or the migration to the new Mac. Very sweet 
-- which is why I'm looking for the equivalent for Linux. I realize that I 
won't be able to restore the entire backup to a new machine due to hardware 
differences, but I'd love to be able to simply restore my home directory and 
selected application directories from my backup USB drive.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Linux Laptop

[Esmé Cowles]

Mark-

One option which works on any Linux/Unix machine (including OSX) is rsync with 
the --link-dest option.  This does the same thing as Time Machine: it creates 
backups that hardlink to existing copies of files (if they exist) saving disk 
space on unchanged files.  There are lots of instructions for how to do this, 
e.g. http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/rsync_time_machine.html

This doesn't provide the same UI as Time Machine for restoring files, though.

[Pottinger, Hardy J.]

Hi, I'll just chime in for my favorite backup solution for my stuff at
home: BackuPC [1]. You set up a dedicated box on your local network, and
it backs up configured clients (Mac, Linux, Windows), whenever it finds
them. I've got it tweaked a bit to also back up a few personal web sites
that I support. I haven't yet set it up to mirror important stuff (like
docs, pics and videos) to the cloud, but that's on the agenda for this
year.

Re: [CODE4LIB] site vulnerabilities

[Eric Hellman]

I gave a lightning talk on XSS vulnerabilities in library software at the first 
Code4Lib conference.

You'll be happy to know that as bad as things are, they've improved 
considerably! I showed several ILS vendors how I could insert arbitrary 
javascripts into their products. Some of them fixed their products in the next 
update cycle, some took a couple of years. One particularly nasty vulnerability 
I am unable to talk about, it was so nasty and close to home. But the general 
problem persists. Perhaps an outing process would be useful.

At gluejar, we decided to use Django for our Unglue.it website, which will open 
in january.

As someone who built a web framework from scratch in Java, I've found that the

wrong. I'm still getting used to Python, but I'm quite happy with Django.
