卷入行贿受贿丑闻的葛兰素史克表示将降低其生产药品的药价，该公司中国业务部门至少18人被捕。为什么中国的药品价格如此高？非盈利机构国际健康行动组织(HAI)收集的数据显示，在中国陕西省的公立和民营医院，西方专利药企的药品价格为国际参考价的11倍左右。正如很多新兴市场一样，中国对西方药品有着强劲的需求，因为这些品牌提供了质量保证，而国内患者通常担心药品质量低劣或出现假药。因此，外国药企可以获得高额的利…
Notes Everywhere
I like to take long running notes, jotting down an idea here and there when one pops up. I never know which devices I will have with me, so I like to have these notes synced across all of them.
Previously I had been using the Chrome plugin QuickNote which is a light weight interface on top of the diigo cloud service. I had been using it for about two years and never had a problem until a few days ago. I somehow managed to lose about three months of edits. I still have not quite shaken that feeling of despair knowing I will never get my data back, but it did finally force me to beef up my note-syncing system. While I will primarily be using this setup to sync notes, it is by no means limited to only text files.
Enter BitTorrent Sync
BitTorrent Sync is a free utility that uses the bittorrent protocol to keep folders in sync across devices. It can be used with OS X, Windows, Android and Linux. It is not however open source, which might be a deal breaker for some. But if this isn't too big a pill for you to swallow, with a little bit of work you can use btsync as a free syncing solution.
While Dropbox requires you to keep a copy of your data on their servers, btsync never requires your data to inhabit a device you do not own. This is nice for security, but it means to sync between two devices they both need to be online at the same time. That is where the Raspberry Pi comes in. You can use the Pi as a node in your sync network, so a change to a file on any device will sync with the Pi and then other devices will get the change when they come online.
First we will set up the Pi as the central server and then we will connect our devices to it. (It is important to note however that the Pi is not a special "server" node, it is just a regular node like any other device.)
Installing BitTorrent Sync on the Raspberry Pi
NOTE: I am using Raspbian Wheezy, but I suspect these ideas will translate to other operating systems.
You need to grab the ARM build of BitTorrent Sync:
mkdir ~/.btsync && cd ~/.btsync wget http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_arm.tar.gz tar -xfv btsync_arm.tar.gz Unless you have a large SD in your Pi you will probably want to use an external drive for your sync location. I will be using a USB thumb drive. You may need to format your thumb drive as EXT4 if you are having issues. (WARNING! This will erase all data on your drive)
df -h # find your drive here, e.g. `sda1` sudo umount /dev/sda1 # replace sda1 with your drive name ! sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 -L BTSync # replace sda1 with your drive name ! Now all you have to do is launch the btsync application and you will be up and running!
cd ~/.btsync sudo ./btsync # can be killed with `sudo killall btsync` If you see the following output btsync is properly running.
BitTorrent Sync forked to background. pid = 3003 Navigate your browser to Your-Pi-IP-Address:8888/gui to manage the btsync process. To add the thumb drive select "Add Folder" and navigate to /media/BTSync. You will need to generate a secret as this is the first time you are adding the folder.
Other Devices
Now go download the Android app and/or the desktop app and connect them using the secret you just generated It's that simple! Any change on any device will be synced across all online devices. If you keep your Pi online it will store and push the most up to date content as your other devices go on and off line.
Extra Credit
Start at Boot
You may want to set btsync to start when you boot your Raspberry Pi. To do that we will place a script in /etc/init.d/ and then register it with update-rc.d.
sudo nano /etc/init.d/btsync Paste the following code in the script
#! /bin/sh # /etc/init.d/btsync # # Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system case "$1" in start) /home/pi/.btsync/btsync ;; stop) killall btsync ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/btsync {start|stop}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 Then change the permissions, test, and register it to run at boot:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/btsync sudo /etc/init.d/btsync start # test that the script starts sudo /etc/init.d/btsync stop # test that the script stops sudo update-rc.d btsync defaults Password Protect Web Interface
If you expose your web interface to the outside world (or if you don't trust your friends) you are going to want to password protect it. This can be done with a btsync config file passed to the executable at runtime with the --config flag. First, use btsync to generate a sample config file, modify it to fit your needs, and restart the process.
cd ~/.btsync ./btsync --dump-sample-config > btsync.conf # browse the sample config file and change what you want sudo killall btsync sudo ./btsync --config btsync.conf HINT: Use jsonlint to validate your config file if btsync complains. Also make sure to modify the /etc/init.d/btsync script to use the config file as well.
