Free backup space ?

Playing around today with fpaste (fedora paste) I thought about free backup space….
What if you can backup your system, encrypt the data and put it up on fpaste ?

A simple test…

dmesg | gpg -e --recipient my@ema.il | base64 | fpaste --title "part001"

Will give you back a URL where your encrypted and base64 encoded data is….

To get it back :

curl <URL>/raw | base64 -d | gpg -d

It will only stay on fpaste for 604800 seconds (7 days) but at least you will have a backup for 7 days 🙂

Maybe we can script around this and refresh every backup after 6.9 days ?

Of course you need to keep track of which URLs contain you backups, but you can put that in fpaste too… so you only need 1 URL to get your backups back…..

So gpg, base64, split, rar and other tools are your friends….

Do you want to work for us ?

We are hiring !
Working for liegendepinguins.nl turns out to be major stress-level-elevating and not terribly good for your health.
You don’t get any rewards and payment is, to say the least, lousy and not enough to feed your cat.
Skills we are NOT looking for at the moment :

* Social and userfriendly
* Any knowledge of anything even remotely computer or IT related
* Any knowledge of anything else too
* Working all hours of the day (also known as 24/7 shifts)
* Good communicating skills, everybody understands what you are saying
* Any certification, diplomas, rewards or buttons/prizes

So if you are still interested and want to have a chat about working for us, we will consider a chat when you buy us dinner (and you are not invited) and offer us a major bribe.

Please contact us using the contact form on this website.
