Backblaze will download your data to a zip file and send it to you over an encrypted SSL connection at no charge. This is a good choice if your internet connection speed is fast and your stored data is limited, because Backblaze will only do this for 500GB of data per request. If you experience a system failure or loss, you have three ways to restore your data. One of Backblaze’s drawbacks is it doesn’t offer free archiving and unlimited versioning Three Options to Restore Your Data You can extend archived storage for up to a year for a monthly fee, or forever for a fee per GB, which makes the service more costly. Since Backblaze can’t back up a file or application when it’s in use, be sure to close your email at least once a day to back up any changes.īackblaze stores deleted files and previous versions of files for only 30 days. And you can always manually initiate a backup by clicking on the Backup Now button.īackblaze can back up emails from accounts stored on your computer (like Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird), but not from an online server like Gmail, which is disappointing. Using the settings panel, you can schedule your backups for a specific time of day that’s convenient for you and won’t interfere with other online tasks. After your initial backup, when your computer is on and connected to Wi-Fi, Backblaze will automatically scan about once every hour, indexing, processing, and uploading new or changed documents. I found that this limited my ability to work online – see the Performance section for details. The default setting is for continuous backup. Seamless Automatic Backups in a Few Easy Stepsīy default, Backblaze backs up all your computer data – documents, photos, music, and videos – plus all the data stored on attached external drives. In the event of a disaster, you can’t use Backblaze to restore your computer’s system, but you can be assured all your important files and data are safe and secure. A mirror backup is a complete replica of everything on your computer’s hard drive, including the operating system files, applications, preferences, and settings. One thing that Backblaze doesn’t do is create a full image or mirror backup. It’s one of the few online backup services that offers unlimited storage (at incredibly affordable prices too) – but it is missing a few things. Transfer encryption key (via AES 128 bit), optional private encryption keyīackblaze has all the essential features that you need to make backups of your files – with a super-simple setup (which I’ll talk more about in the Ease of Use section below). Windows 7 and later, macOS X 10.8x and later, iOS and Android mobile apps No limits on file size and type, no fair use limits, bandwidth throttling Keep reading to get all the details and decide if Backblaze is right for you.Ĭontinuous/scheduled, backup from external drive, idle backups, backup status reports, offline restore option I’ve thoroughly reviewed Backblaze, including its features, performance, security, and privacy policies, so you don’t have to. No single backup service is the right choice for everyone. Some other cloud backup services cover unlimited devices, such as iDrive (but you don’t get unlimited storage with iDrive – there’s always a drawback somewhere!) You can add more subscriptions for additional devices, but it’ll cost you. While Backblaze gives you unlimited storage and doesn’t limit the size of files you back up, a subscription covers just one computer. Other features, like permanent cloud storage for files you delete from your computer, can only be added for a fee. Backups can be slow and may interfere with other online activities.Īnd while all the essentials are there, Backblaze lacks some of the customization features its competitors offer, like choosing the files you want to back up, backing up data from mobile devices, and backing up system and application files. It gives you unlimited, secure data backup in a simple and straightforward package, so it’s easy to set up, making it a great choice for novices.īut Backblaze has some drawbacks. It’s among the most popular cloud backup companies, and it’s easy to understand why. Backblaze Offers Affordable, Unlimited Online Backup Serviceīackblaze prides itself on offering home and small business users a reliable, low-cost online backup service. The Stress Clown Fish could be used as part of a campaign to draw attention to plastic in the oceans, perhaps, whilst the Stress Polar Bear is a great way to draw attention to global warming.

This is a guest post by Jeremy Sanders about the plotting package he’s developed. Jeremy is a postdoc working in the X-Ray Group at the Institute of Astronomy in the University of Cambridge in the UK. Veusz (pronounced “views”) is a python-based GUI plotting package that I ( Jeremy Sanders) have developed. As an astronomer, I was dissatisfied with every plotting package I had used. Some were fairly easy to use but old fashioned and/or limited (e.g., qdp, sm, grace, gnuplot). I also haven't found a way to plot RA/Dec. Several were not licensed freely (e.g., sm, idl). It's great that Veusz can support the reading of FITS images but broad support for world coordinates would be great. Many were difficult to use, requiring libraries of other peoples’ code or a lot of work going through manuals (e.g. I wanted a free, easy to use and powerful package and so I started writing Veusz in 2004. Although I initially found the command line interface to be the most important part of a plotting package, since developing Veusz, I now use its GUI almost exclusively as it’s rather powerful and easy to use. Veusz builds plots out of widgets, each of which has a set of properties and formatting options which can be modified. The standard way to build up the plot is to use the GUI to add widgets to form a tree, reading data from external files. However, most of the functionality can also be accessed using a command interface, which can be used from Python command line console window, an embedding Python module or commands sent to it from stdin. Indeed, Veusz saved documents are simply Python scripts using the same set of commands and are easily modified. Veusz can export several vector and bitmap formats, including PNG, EPS, PDF, SVG and EMF. Veusz has scatter plots, with optional error bars (of several styles), joining-lines (stepped or beziers curves), fills and transparency, and allows for gaps in data. It also supports plotting functions (which can be defined using numpy functions or in external python modules), histograms (which can be computed from data), contour plots (including sub-contour levels and labelled contours), automatic data keys, image plots (with different color maps), color bars, shapes (including arrows) and external image files. It also has a function-fitting widget for doing a chi-squared fit to data. These plotting widgets are placed inside graph widgets. Multiple graph widgets can be placed on a page and in a grid widget which arranges the graphs inside it. Each graph can have as many axes as you like. Veusz can read data in several different formats. It supports 1D numeric, date and text datasets, and 2D numerical arrays. Its default format is a simple space-delimited text format which can contain a descriptor describing dataset names, columns and data types, or specified in the program. It also supports CSV files (with an optional name for a dataset above each column). Importantly, it can load 1D and 2D data from FITS tables or images. And if that’s not good enough, you can send numpy arrays to Veusz using the embedding interface, or define an import plugin, which is a simple Python script for reading the data. It supports 1D numeric, date and text datasets, and 2D numerical arrays. A powerful feature is the ability to create new datasets in the program based on functions of other datasets. These datasets update automatically if the underlying data is reloaded. Veusz is multiplatform as it is written in Python and uses PyQt for user interface and plotting. There are some small parts written in C and C++ to make the program faster. It relies heavily on the Python numpy libraries for handling data. The program can also be extended, by adding plugins supporting importing new data formats, different types of data manipulation or for automating tasks.Binaries are available for Linux x86, Mac OS X and Windows, and source allows it to be built for these and other platforms. Datasets can also be entered within the program and new datasets can be created via the manipulation of existing datasets using mathematical expressions and more. It allows data to be imported from text, CSV, HDF5 and FITS files. There are many options for customization of plots. In Veusz plots are created by building up plotting widgets with a consistent object-based interface, where the user sets the properties of the widgets. With the help of a tutorial the program can be used by the novice user and is flexible for advanced work. It supports vector and bitmap output, including PDF, Postscript, SVG and EMF. Veusz is multiplatform, running on Windows, Linux/Unix and macOS. In addition it can be used as a module in Python for plotting. Veusz is a scientific plotting and graphing program with a graphical user interface, designed to produce publication-ready 2D plots. This and that other by-product of COVID-19, the chip shortage, meant that over the past year we’ve been treated to several event badges that should have appeared in 2020 or 2021, but didn’t due to those cancelled events. Two-day tickets are $125 for adults, $50 for students and free for those younger than 17.One effect of the global pandemic was that there were relatively few events in our sphere for a couple of years. He will speak about the current state of the cybersecurity industry and its impact on the world. Kennedy is co-author of “Metasploit: The Penetration Tester’s Guide.” He is also the creator of the Social-Engineer Toolkit and co-founder of the Derb圜on cybersecurity conference in Kentucky. “We want to make this a community event, where we stick a flag in the ground and say, ‘Albany has a very good budding cybersecurity community,’” he said.ĭave Kennedy, the founder and principal security consultant of TrustedSec, will be ANYCon’s keynote speaker. He hopes to use ANYCon to further develop that talent. “We do have some really good pipelines of talent that are emerging, between all the colleges in the area,” Wrightson said. What colleges are good at is preparing people to move into the field, he added, by grounding them in network engineering, programming and network administration - the fundamental infrastructure that black hats corrupt and white hats protect. It’s impossible to print an up-to-date textbook about the subject, and colleges don’t turn out graduates ready to immediately combat black-hat hackers through offensive security measures, he said. This is the challenge of cybersecurity: As black hats follow the path of least resistance, white hats block them, and if they are successful, something else becomes the path of least resistance.Įffective cybersecurity and white hat hacking contain a large education component, Wrightson said: professionals have to constantly update their knowledge base. “Criminals could do that today it’s just a question of whether it’s worth their effort.” “This is literally the easiest, most brute-force way to frighten anyone,” he said. New types of ransomware will be deployed, Wrightson predicted, that will do things like leaving data accessible but completely scrambled - patient names and treatment details switched in medical records, or numbers moved on financial data before it is released to regulators and stockholders. Ransomware like the worldwide WannaCry hack last month is one of the major cybersecurity threats today, he said, but the current model - where data on an infected computer is locked or encrypted so users can’t get at it unless they pay the hacker a ransom - is just “the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “Hackers are like water they’re going to follow the path of least resistance.” “The methods that we use basically work everywhere,” Wrightson said. His company works for firms and agencies of all sizes, and while the tactics and details of what Leet does for each client vary, the results don’t. “Even some of the things that are cutting-edge, they’ll be obsolete three months from now,” he explained. Government agencies and private entities keep tabs on black hat hackers and their activities, but they are a moving target - hacking tools and techniques change weekly or even daily, Wrightson said. “I think our government is getting very good at responding to threats that operate in America, but that’s one of the challenges,” he said. Also, many are operating in countries that don’t do anything to stop them. They can be hard to combat because seeking or possessing the knowledge isn’t illegal - misusing it is. They spread knowledge through chat rooms, message boards, the “dark web” and sometimes even face-to-face meetings, Wrightson said. With that sea change has come an entire category of criminals looking for illicit gain from all those computers. And it’s invaded people’s personal lives.” “You can’t not be connected to the Internet now. “Everyone has had technology thrown into their business,” he said. “We get hired to identify those weaknesses before hackers do.”Ĭybersecurity is a rapidly growing field, he said, with essentially zero percent unemployment and room for perhaps a million new practitioners.

He is a man that has his heart broken because of her(which was HER CHOICE) which she still had every right to do(because, even though he is the father to that baby, he physically cannot make the call on what happens to it since he has no control over the situation other than mentally). You people astonish me with how ridiculous you are. But what about his feelings? Are you people trying to say that a man that wants his baby shouldn’t have even any opinion or emotion about what happens to it, and should just accept it and support the mother? No, screw that. Tell me, why should he stay with her? Sure, it’s her body, and that living organism growing inside of her is scary to her. You implying that he(being Nick) is in the wrong for leaving her(being Judy) for wanting to abort their baby, is utterly the most ridiculous sentiment I’ve ever heard or read. It's a basic that everyone learned in school.Īlright, I’ve had about enough of this. You need to open your eyes and double check your answers. If he didn't care about her concerns, I'm pretty sure that Judy wouldn't have told him.Nick even asked why she didn't do it behind his back. Third of all, You think that Nick didn't care about her concerns. He gave her a choice, she could keep the baby and stay with Nick with a chance at losing her job or She could abort the baby, keep her job, but lose Nick that could be forever. Second, who the hell said that he is controlling what she can do with her body? I didn't see Nick force her to have the baby. She didn't want the baby because she THOUGHT it would be too big. She is willing to give up her baby for her job. You say that Nick thinks that Judy is so selfish for not wanting the baby. If the "cost" is having to say goodbye to someone who completely ignores your concerns and thinks you're a bad/selfish person for not wanting a kid and thinks he can dictate what you do with your own body, then that cost is acceptable." First of all, why the fuck would you say that Nick's an asshole for calling her a sinner. Kenni Rayne… Are you serious? "Not having to bleed to death from giving birth to a baby that's too big for her IS worth losing an ahole BF who will judge her and call her a sinner for it. Hold it in place for at least 10 seconds before using to garnish your drink. Take the strip and wrap it around a chopstick or simply twist with your fingers (I find the chopstick method easier). (Alternatively, you can use a vegetable peeler to cut off a strip of the lime zest, but this can sometimes make the lime twist too delicate and it will break when twisted.) You should have a circular strip of lime rind. How to make the lime twist garnish: use a paring knife to cut a slice of lime, then take the knife and use it to cut the rind away from the flesh of the lime – trimming off as much of the pith as possible. Make it a mocktail: if you have guests that aren’t drinking and still want to include them in the cosmo-fun, swap out the vodka for lemonade and the triple sec for a splash of orange juice. This classic cosmopolitan drink is perfect for a girls’ night or for sipping on a special occasion like Valentine’s day, birthdays, etc – it would also be cute to offer at a gender reveal party alongside a Blue Hawaii cocktail. Some versions use citron vodka (and that is what the International Bartender’s Association guide says to use) however, if you don’t have lemon vodka you can use regular and add a splash of lemon juice. The Twisted Mist recipe kits bring a little something unexpected to your next glass - in just 4 weeks Full fruit flavor and authentic cocktail taste are. It is slightly sour and has that crispness from the tart cranberries, with just the right hint of sweetness to balance it all out.Ī classic cosmopolitan is made with vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice and cranberry juice. UNIQUE GIFT - This drink kit includes 1 oz cranberry cosmo mix, jigger, bar spoon and recipe card. While the cosmo had been around for decades before SATC hit the air, those ladies made it the drink of choice for any woman wanting to enjoy a classy, sophisticated drink that actually tasted good.Īnd now that the ladies have returned to TV with And Just Like That, I think it’s time for the classic cosmo to make it’s own comeback!Ī cosmopolitan cocktail is a vodka daisy – a cocktail made with fresh citrus juice and triple sec, so it’s similar to a margarita ( tequila daisy) or a sidecar ( cognac daisy). Ahead, get ready to shop the best mixology gifts that money can buy, because your fave bartender deserves to know just how much you appreciate their services.I can’t think of a cosmopolitan without thinking of Sex and the City. Not sure what equipment they already have on hand? Don't worry-I've got gift ideas for the bartender who has everything, too. From essential bartending tools, like smokers and dehydrators, to chic accessories, like bar carts and cocktail shakers, the options are pretty much endless. Whether you're shopping for their birthday, the holidays, or ~just because~, there are plenty of bartender gifts perfect for the cocktail enthusiast in your life, and no, they're not all just bottles of booze.The best gifts for bartenders tend to be practical, useful, and stylish, whether you're looking to spoil a professional mixologist of 25 years.or your friend who just mixes drinkies sometimes. Launched in 1997 by noted spirits importer Sidney Frank, Grey Goose was intended to be a premium vodka tailor-made for American tastes, and to accomplish this he set up shop in France - a country whose rich culinary tradition made it the perfect backdrop for creating his vodka vision. And while you can always thank them by providing your own alcohol or leaving them a generous tip, it's good to keep some gift ideas for bartenders in mind. Even if they're only an aspiring mixologist, there's no one better to whip up a fancy drink, recommend a liquor brand, or listen to your stories without looking bored ('cause that's part of the job, obv). Having a bartender in your life is truly a gift. So, I feel it’s best if I explain it in a later part. And quite a good one at that.Īnamorphic is the property of scaling the width of a video by a factor in order to correct its Aspect Ratio.This setting is a bit complicated to explain. So, it wouldn’t be right classifying it as a video converter per se, but it most certainly is a video transcoder. Handbrake currently supports two output container formats: MKV and MP4. So, from this it is evident that most video converters are transcoders as well (though in most cases, devoid of many of the features offered by standalone video transcoders like Handbrake), while video transcoders may or may not offer conversion. Converting: Changing the container format of the video file, with or without transcoding.Transcoding: Encode using a different codec from the one with which the video is currently encoded.For example aac, mp3, wma are audio codecs and x264, xvid, VP8 are video codecs. The video and audio streams are encoded using different codecs and are held together in the container format. Codec (COder-DECoder), simply put, is the program using which data streams are encoded for storage on a device, and decoded for playback. The audio that you hear, and the video that you see. Codec: A video file basically comprises of two things.For example, mp4, avi, mkv, 3gp, flv are all container formats, and in no way signifies the codec used. If your file name is xxx.yyy, then yyy is the container. Container: This is your actual video file format. So, I feel it would be best if I clear that up first. I have heard the terms container and codec, converter and encoder (or transcoder) misunderstood and used interchangeably countless times. It wasn’t, isn’t and quite probably never will be a “Video Converter”. What needs to be noted here is that Handbrake is a video transcoder. “HandBrake is a GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder.” Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.
