@denmojo Thank you for using Tarsnap! (At least, I'm assuming you're using it...) about 17 hours ago from twidroid in reply to denmojo
@sevanjaniyan A few from 6.x -- I think about 20? This is why I said the rest were *mostly* 7.1 and 7.0. ;-) about 17 hours ago from twidroid in reply to sevanjaniyan
Roughly 850 upgraded from 7.2-RELEASE, 400/100/100 from 8.0-RC3/2/1, and the rest mostly from 7.1-RELEASE and 7.0-RELEASE. about 17 hours ago from twidroid
Approximately 1600 systems upgraded to FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE so far using freebsd-update. about 17 hours ago from twidroid
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE is now officially out: http://bit.ly/7g8vgq - Don't forget to back up before upgrading: http://tarsnap.com 4:27 PM Nov 26th from web
"That guy Colin Percival, the security dude from FreeBSD, magicked up some wicked backup stuff" <- how a #tarsnap user heard about it 10:33 AM Nov 26th from twidroid
@jamesoff Quite true. Also, I don't think like a business guy -- I'd much prefer to have happier users than more money. 9:58 AM Nov 26th from twidroid in reply to jamesoff
I work hard to make #tarsnap as efficient as possible, thereby minimizing what people pay me. #suboptimalbusinessstrategy? 9:15 AM Nov 26th from twidroid
@jeffbarr You're 45 days late ;-) 8:55 AM Nov 26th from twidroid in reply to jeffbarr
@zuwiki Depending on how much data you have, Tarsnap's $0.30/GB might be cheaper 3:37 PM Nov 25th from web in reply to zuwiki
@ipguru good to hear that you're happy with #tarsnap, though :-) 12:50 AM Nov 25th from twidroid
@ipguru File synchronization (via rsync or otherwise) is not backup! It will happily sychronize data loss for you... 12:49 AM Nov 25th from twidroid
@grahl Thanks for the plug! 11:54 AM Nov 24th from twidroid
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE torrents are available; please start seeding. http://torrents.freebsd.org... 6:55 AM Nov 24th from twidroid
@farrokhi Not a joke -- the official announcement is waiting for FTP mirrors to catch up, but the 8.0-RELEASE bits are on freebsd-update. 4:24 AM Nov 23rd from twidroid in reply to farrokhi
Don't forget to back up your systems before upgrading to FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE -> http://www.tarsnap.com/ 10:40 PM Nov 22nd from twidroid
For detailed upgrading instructions, see http://bit.ly/18yGYu and replace "8.0-BETA1" with "8.0-RELEASE" where obvious. 9:55 PM Nov 22nd from twidroid
freebsd-update -r 8.0-RELEASE upgrade; freebsd-update install; reboot; freebsd-update install; reboot; now running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE! 9:53 PM Nov 22nd from twidroid
@jblunck It's not ideal, but you can run Tarsnap via Cygwin. 5:44 PM Nov 21st from twidroid
@gldisater Yeah, I'm planning on talking to him; but I wanted to get some sense of whether the twitterverse liked the idea first. 4:38 AM Nov 21st from twidroid in reply to gldisater
