rbackup - time-stamped, hard-linked backups powered by rsync

rbackup

rbackup is a lightweight, rsync-powered backup utility that creates time-stamped backups.

Features

It can save backups to your local filesystem (probably an attached USB device) or to a remote host.

Backups are saved in time-stamped directories. Backups are cheap on storage, because hard-links are used for files that haven't changed between backups.

Raspberry Pi setup

Raspberry Pi setup

Just wanted a quick start guide for myself so that I wouldn't have to keep rooting through Google to remember all this stuff. Hopefully it helps other people.

If you had other ideas or suggestions please leave a comment.

Useful things to own before you buy a Pi

The first time I bought a Pi I was enormously frustrated with myself because I didn't own all of this stuff. Kept having to order things off of Amazon and wait to get started... very irritating. This is all good stuff to have laying around anyway:

ffmpeg youtube live event rtmp stream from raspberry pi with raspi camera (raspivid)
  1. compile ffmpeg for arm https://github.com/fiorix/ffmpeg-arm
  2. create youtube 'live event'. get rtmp url + session id
  3. run this:
raspivid -o - -t 0 -vf -hf -fps 30 -b 6000000 | ffmpeg -re -ar 44100 -ac 2 -acodec pcm_s16le -f s16le -ac 2 -i /dev/zero -f h264 -i - -vcodec copy -acodec aac -ab 128k -g 50 -strict experimental -f flv rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<SESSION>

you can tweak -b and -fps to your liking. the settings above work well for 1080p. by not specifying width or height we get the full 1920x1080 resolution from the raspi camera

Freshly brewed !

With the availability of huge amount of data for research and powerfull machines to run your code on, Machine Learning and Neural Networks is gaining their foot again and impacting us more than ever in our everyday lives. With huge players like Google opensourcing part of their Machine Learning systems like the TensorFlow software library for numerical computation, there are many options for someone interested in starting off with Machine Learning/Neural Nets to choose from. Caffe, a deep learning framework developed by the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC) and its contributors, comes to the play with a fresh cup of coffee.
