Presentations about: storage

STLLUG - December 21, 2023

Design an image for a blog that captures the key technologies and concepts for an upcoming presentation. Start with a gradient background transitioning smoothly from dark blue to light blue to symbolize a shift from local to offsite backups. In the center, place a high-resolution image of the ODROID H3+ board. Surround this with the logos of the ZFS, Restic, and recognizable icons for Linux/Unix arranged in a circular fashion. Include subtle vector graphics illustrating the 3-2-1 Backup strategy near the top with three hard drive icons of varying sizes, two smaller distinctive storage media icons, and an offsite icon represented by a distant server or a cloud. On the side of the ODROID H3+, introduce geometric patterns or icons signifying data protection. Lastly, include small screen overlay icons in a corner to suggest a virtual and free-to-access orientation of the presentation. Make sure all elements are balanced and synchronized visually, thereby visually encapsulating the focus of the presentation.

SLUUG - February 8, 2023

Create a minimalist, technically-oriented image. The backdrop consists of a gradient blend transitioning from soft blue to white. In the center of the image place a large, open folder icon that represents dotfiles, with semi-transparent overlays of icons for typical files such as .bashrc, .vimrc, and .gitconfig. On the left side of the folder, place the YADM logo, and on the right side the Git logo, indicating their synonymous relationship, connected by arrows. Add subtle, dotted lines linking these logos to various dotfiles, suggesting syncing and alteration capabilities. Dispersed around the central folder, include small icons representing different operating systems like Linux Tux, BSD Daemon, to hint their use across different systems. Maintain original colors for YADM, Git, and system logos for authenticity, while arrows and dotted lines can be light grey or blue to keep the visual balance without overwhelming the key elements.

STLLUG - November 17, 2022

Visualise a representation of modern data storage focused on Btrfs. Have a sleek, modern background with a gradient transitioning from deep blue at the top to a lighter blue at the bottom, creating a professional and polished look. Centre an intricate 3D model of a hard disk drive overlapped by semi-transparent hexagonal shapes creating a network/grid representation alluding to the multi-layered nature of Btrfs. Place the official Btrfs logo, semi-transparently, in the upper left and lower right corners. Scatter small icons for key Btrfs features such as snapshots (a camera icon), RAID configuration (a line chart icon), and compression (a compressed folder icon) around the central hard disk drive model. Add visual effects like light rays or data streams flowing around and through the hard disk drive model, and subtle digital error/glitch effects to indicate quirks Btrfs can introduce.

STLLUG - October 20, 2022

Create a professional and tech-savvy image using gradients of blue and green for the background. The central element should be an abstract representation of a padlock to symbolize encryption. Around the padlock, place icons representing various storage devices like hard drives and the cloud, symbolizing local and remote storage. Include a subtle representation of 'user space' with simplified user avatars. Incorporate logos related to encryption and file systems: place one near the base of the encrypted padlock and another near a storage device icon. Finally, draw light, flowing lines connecting the padlock to the storage devices and technology logos, representing the flow of encrypted data. Add security icons like shields and checkmarks to emphasize data protection.

STLLUG - September 22, 2022

Design a clean, modern, visually appealing image with simplicity. It should have a smooth gradient background transitioning from light blue to soft green. At its center, include a large, simplistic 3D cloud icon. Beside the cloud on the left, display a simplified computer server icon, and on the right, place a simplistic hard drive icon. Incorporate sets of arrows indicating the data flow: one from the server to the cloud and another from the cloud to the hard drive. Add small, sleek monochrome logos of Tux Penguin for Linux and Puffy Pufferfish for OpenBSD at the bottom but semi-transparent to minimize their impact. Furthermore, integrate subtle icons of files, folders, and databases floating to depict the concept of data in cloud storage.

STLLUG - August 18, 2022

Create a visually striking image based on modern cloud computing. The background will feature a smooth gradient transitioning from a deep blue at the top to a lighter blue at the bottom. At the center, depict a sleek and minimalist design of a cloud, representing versatility. Around the central cloud, incorporate modern and visually consistent icons of four devices: a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone - all subtly connected to the central cloud with thin, white lines. Incorporate smaller platform symbols representing Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux near the device icons. Add faint technological patterns or representations of binary code in the background. Use shades of blue, white, and light gray to keep the image cohesive and modern. All icons must be in a flat design and arranged symmetrically for balance, drawing the viewer's eyes towards the central cloud.

STLLUG - July 21, 2022

Create an image that visually represents the concept of Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) with a gradient background transitioning from dark to light, starting from a rich shade of blue or black at the top, transitioning to a lighter shade towards the bottom. The main visual should be a graphic representation of a filesystem extending from a user's desktop or laptop, with connected icons symbolizing different types of storage services such as a locked folder for encrypted filesystems like `encfs`, a cloud for cloud storage, and a server icon for `sshfs`. Include the Linux Tux penguin near the bottom of the screen or next to a silhouette of a user represented as a hobbyist or business professional interacting with the filesystem. Also, include minimalist icons that represent FUSE features like `sshfs` and `encfs`, and a terminal icon with a simple command prompt interface to represent user's ease of use.

SLUUG - June 8, 2022

Design an engaging image that conveys the essence of time-efficient, organized backups. The background is a calming gradient transitioning from a light to dark shade of blue. In the center, there's a large, white open folder. Surrounding it are smaller folders or files, each labeled with timestamps like 'hourly', 'daily', 'weekly', etc. and color-coded. To the bottom right, there's a small, recognizable logo signifying data transfer, and to the bottom left, an emblem representing secure digital communication. Floating above all this are subtle icons of clocks and calendars, reinforcing the time aspect of the backups. This image will not include any text.

STLLUG - May 20, 2021

Create a futuristic cityscape with a sleek, dark design. The left side of the image is stormy with a prominent, yet faded and weathered Plex logo indicating frustration and disappointment. Lightning shall punctuate the turmoil. This contrast with the image's right side, showcasing a clear sky with rays of sunshine, and the crisp, bright Syncthing logo, signifying reliability and success. A glowing path cuts through the image, leading from the stormy side to the clear side, symbolizing the transition from Plex to Syncthing. Binary code or data streams flow from the Plex logo towards the Syncthing logo, representing the migration of functionality. Holographic icons for data transfer and synchronization are present between the two logos, adding a 3D element. Use dark tones like various shades of blues and blacks for the stormy side and silvers, whites, and light blue for the bright one.
