At last! The crowdfund, i‘ve been waiting for my next laptop. I want to buy all, if not, most of my future devices from this company/brand/standard. There goodies are going to be #earth and #freesoftware friendly, made by an #indie . With #ethical design at its heart. #EOMA68 is here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop

Whitepaper: with story examples to help illustrate what this means: http://rhombus-tech.net/whitepapers/ecocomputing_07sep2015/

#ilovemyeoma #eomaidea an #eomadevice Had some ideas for devices and added them to the idea page. i like the #projector one and the ravox - #rave boom box- too :) http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/ http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/ravox/ or what about a FOX, a file server box for non-raid file storage or a MOX for a media centre or a camera or a guitar effects box arr heck if i list any more ideas this will become a great big list, just have a look at the wiki page ;)

Tons of info buried on the website: http://rhombus-tech.net

Yea the website isn’t super sparkly, they work as hard as they can and put most of there efforts into the product. if you can help with managing the website, smarting it up,etc then feel free to join the mailing list and get an account on the wiki :) . so don't be dishearten and think failed or struggling project, cus your wrong hes been at it working towards this point for ages. Laying the ground work, developing a standard that is to last for around the next 10years. So its taken his time in getting it right initially but after this crowdfund things can ramp up and speed up :D ill looking forward to the quad core 2x faster new future brain/cpu card and i look forward to getting the tablet, heck even games console too heh :)

produktrueckrufe.de | Rückruf-Portal für Deutschland - Überhitzungs-/Brandrisiko von Notebook-Netzkabeln: Auch ACER startet ´Ersatzprogramm´

Details Veröffentlicht am Mittwoch, 06. Mai 2015 10:00 Das "Produktsicherheitsportal" der Dortmunder Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA) überrascht heute mit einer Meldung zu Notebook-Netzkabeln der Acer Computer GmbH aus Ahrensburg. Danach führt jetzt auch dieses Unternehmen ein "freiwilliges Ersatzprogramm" für Laptop-Stromkabel durch, die überhitzen (und somit ggf. einen Brand auslösen) können.

A long story of restoring a 2 TB backup disk

The story in short as an experience report:
* Backpack with encrypted ubuntu notebook stolen.
* Checking backup disk on windows was fine, but unmounting was not. * Disk corrupted * Bought 4TB disk to recover 2TB disk ** Truecrypt on Linux did not mount anything ** Truecrypt on Windows mounted corrupted disk * Started testdisk for recovery * Started photorec for recovery * Restore takes 140hours, finds 3000 folders with 500 files each * Let windows dig for xfc and odt files
* Let notepad++ dig for txt, sh, svg files * Two weeks later restore almost finished ... yeee

Fixing the disk or access the data with testdisk failed for me, but photorec (another recovery tool from the same developer but with a signature-based file recovery strategy, a different approach) did restore most of my missing files after 140h on a 2TB disk. Worth donating to the guy!

Photorec is part of the Testdisk download bundle. Get it here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download How the Photorec restore worked in my case:

1. Configure Photorec: Photorec looks for the selected file types on the damaged disk based on the file header's signature. When it finds such files it copies them to another disk. If the disk is very large it is important to deselect all file types and then just check the ones you are really looking for, else it will take forever (420+ hours estimated with no file type filter in my case). It's worth saying that restoring .sh, .svg, .java files have the same signature as plain .txt files, so finding a special file after the restore may need advanced search skills.

2. Start Photorec: As soon as you give the "start" command, it starts copying to directories named like "recup_dir.1". After 140 hours of restoring I had 3270 directories with about 500 files in each folder. Each restored file has a number so you can not seach by filename but only by metadata or content. Thus the per-directory restore via testdisk is much more convenient - if it works.

Sidenote: In my case it was an 2 TB NTFS partition within a hidden truecrypt container. Windows was able to create the virtual drive, but in linux mounting the partition was interrupted and no virtual node was created. So I did my restore on a win7 box. Photorec does not modify the damaged disk, so the restore process can be repeated as often as needed.

Lessons learned: again, improve backup strategy. #automate, #automate, #automate! To multiple disks!
Now I have one backup job via #deja-vu / #duplicity to my intranet #owncloud server. Works like a charm! But I still need to use the old backup scripts for getting data from other targets like #wordpress #owncloud #liferay #smartphone and #samba, so I still use my handcrafted backup scripts for this task.
