I made a video that describes the setup that you're looking for to help my own department get set up with OBS, you're welcome to check it out here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNFiBVWhWYI


Here's another project that's providing GPU access from Java code: https://github.com/pcpratts/rootbeer1


Too bad it's CUDA and not OpenCL. I wonder what the rationale was. Seems natural to use an open GPGPU framework for a Java application.


The author explains why here (3 years ago): https://github.com/pcpratts/rootbeer1/issues/2

Not sure that his explanation is accurate, though.


Probably just because Nvidia cards dominate the market for most GPGPU use cases.


OpenCL is cross-platform, so it would support nvidia, ATI, Intel, CPUs, etc.


AFAIK only OpenCL 1.1 (or 1.2?) is available on nvidia though, not OpenCL 2.0 or 2.1. So, unfortunately, if you want to support nvidia (eg AWS GPU instances), then OpenCL may not be the best choice :-(


Oh, I didn't realize it was that bad. Looks like they barely implemented 1.2 and haven't announced support for 2.x at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL#Timeline_of_vendor_impl...


If someone made a decent OpenCL 2.X to PTX compiler I think they would do pretty well.


I've been recommending MobaXterm [1] to people. My favourite feature is that it has an embedded and pre-configured X server for X forwarding.

This looks great, doesn't seem to need anything other than rsync installed.

You should also check out rsnapshot: http://www.rsnapshot.org/, it does a great job and has many of the features that this script does.


Agreed. I've used rsnapshot for years and am not sure how this script really differs (better or worse). I can say that rsnapshot is a real workhorse that gives me a lot of peace of mind.


Also, dirvish[0].

I've used dirvish for several years (nearly a decade), both locally and remotely without issue. No configuration is necessary on the client, only on the backup server (alternatively you can flip it and put all of your configuration on the client). Uses rsync, hard links, and can keep snapshots at various intervals.

Seconded. I set up `rsnapshot` some years ago to backup monthly, weekly and daily. It's been running ever since without interruption, and it's saved my butt on more than one occasion.


+1, use it for everything to do hourly, daily, weekly, monthly backups. great tool
