What Are You Doing Right Now

Currently syncing our 50GB+ Arma 3 mod repository in a test run. Wrote a zsync-based client for our ~300 active users to allow them to only download changed blocks instead of downloading whole files. Some of them are pretty big, like 500MB+ for maps.

Hopefully all of the issues this week made them work extra hard to get ready to keep us cool this weekend. Fingers crossed.

Fixing the power does not fix the AC in that home.

Oh it works fine now. We fixed it last winter. And added another AC unit in the office to back it up, too.

WTF People. 13% This is SO basic and talked about SO often.
Well I got it wrong as I read wrong the part with "two dual-core CPUs" (No excuse anyway...)

I'd be very interested in that.

That's actually pretty simple. Zsync (zsyncmake) uses the rsync algorithm to pre-calculate
kind of a map of blocks for a given file. That file will be placed on a webserver together with the actual data file.The client - which uses a zsync lib or executable - first downloads the zsync-file (the map) and then issues a series of HTTP Range-Requests to only download the changed blocks. Next step is the actual patching of the data file with the downloaded changes.
I'm afraid that the client itself is heavily customized for our infrastructure, but I could give you a few hints here and there if you like.

Heading over to @ITChick's place this evening for a cook out.

Trying to decide what to watch since I broke my ankle. Going to get to catch up on my shows now.

@PenguinWrangler ouch, how'd you do that?
