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.
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?
-
@DustinB3403 that is the $5,000.00 question. I don't know. Thursday night I was studying for my RHCSA exam got up from my desk and nearly fell down because my ankle hurt so bad. So I went to bed thinking it must be muscle related somehow and I would be fine Friday morning. Friday morning it hurt just as bad. Went to work, limped around the office. Our COO wanted to drive me to the Urgent Care and I told her no. I told her if Saturday it hurt I would go. Got up today and it was a lot worse. So I went to the Urgent care. I have had such bad leg/lower back problems that I have built up a high tolerance for pain. It isn't always a good thing.

@PenguinWrangler Ouch, that hurts. Feel better!

Too soon?

@PenguinWrangler So did they put a temporary (wrapped around) and then will they put a cast or boot? Usually where I work the use boots to keep it immobilized

Headed to East Atlanta for night #2 of ATL Doom fest! Spotted Brent Hinds of Mastodon at the show last night.
I'm not sure if I have any face left to melt tonight.
-
@dbeato they put a 'soft cast' on it which was a interesting thing. They brought a rectangle piece of what looked cloth in. They ran water over it and formed it to my foot and calf to immobilize it. Then wrapped it.
-
@PenguinWrangler that's good at least it keeps it so it does not move.

Mowed and trimmed the entire property and trimmed the pecan tree behind my house. Exhausted. Showered. Getting something to eat, movie time with the family, then bed time.

That will be my Monday morning in a nutshell

Do people work over the weekend? Or are you just getting ready for Tuesday?

Just mowed the lawn. Off to Menards to buy one more post and fence panel to finish off the fencing.

Loads of rain here, no going outside today.

My 9yo asked how electricity is made. Explained generators, and then she asked how generators are made.
So I had to explain about coils and how the magnet positive and negative affect it.
This was helpful for her to see it after my explanation.
