I would consider an external backup that's cheap and not really limited in
terms of space - glacier or something similar. Drop a monthly archive there
without --delete and even if some garbage accumulates, it's not a big deal.

It all really depends on the amount of data in question, if it's not
insanely huge, you can simply buy some cheap drives and do the same thing.
Tiered backups aren't anything new, it is best practice to have a set of
fresh hot backups, like your dailies, a weekly or biweekly warm archive in
case you need to pull out something older, and a cold archive that's
essentially a big dump of ancient stuff on very cheap and very slow medium,
used for emergencies.

For this, I would run a seperate infrequent backup without --delete, and
dump it on the cold storage, just in case.

Another option, if you want to save space, would be to drop rsync and
switch to something like backy2 or it's alternatives.

You don't, that's the whole point of venv - you have a separate set of
modules in each environment, specific to it's version.

There's the site-packages argument of course, but it's far from being
best-practice.

Re: Advice on lightweight laptops for Linux (of course)

[Dan Yasny]

The point here is that they sacrifice a lot of the think* series sturdiness
for the lack of weight and thickness. And you can't upgrade the thing, it's
all a single block you can't take apart. There's also a problem with later
kernels getting mces and panics on overheating because of a bug in the way
the kernel manages pstates - dynamic turbo  mode or whatever intel call it.
The only way around I found is to disable pstates altogether.

Re: Advice on lightweight laptops for Linux (of course)

[Dan Yasny]

I've been carrying an X1 around for a couple of years now. The battery life
is great, Fedora support is great, weight and convenience is quite good,
except the keyboard is a bit on the weird side when it comes to the
function keys and the missing insert key, but I've learned to live with
that.

The downside however is the reliability. In this time I've had the screen
replaced, the keyboard replaced and the motherboard/cpu/ram/etc (it's all a
single block) replaced. Each time it takes a week at the lab (I don't have
the onsite warranty, and I am in Canada, so YMMV). So if you intend to use
it somewhere where warranty isn't available, or if you intend to use it
longer than the warranty period - stay away. It's expensive enough to be
expected to last, but it's quite flimsy.

Re: LPI Certification

[Dan Yasny]

The problem with trivia based certification is that it's so easy to get
without actually knowing anything. Download braindumps, go over them a few
dozen times, and you can pass any exam that is based on standard questions.
In Europe and the US, high-end IT shops know this full well, and they would
only look at certifications that are more implementational than trivial, or
at actual experience, especially because there's a huge, dirt-cheap
workforce out there with MCSEs and CCNAs, and no real world experience.
None of those guys would pass an RHCE exam, because there, you'd have to
actually sit down in front of a machine and do real actions, instead of
memorizing braindumps and redumping them.

So if the goal is to find a job in high-end IT companies, banks and so on,
you have to keep in mind that a trivia based cert with no experience to
back it up will take you nowhere.

Re: LPI Certification

[Dan Yasny]

It's more a matter of prestige than anything else. LPI is about knowing
trivia, RH** is about knowing how to do real work.

Re: LPI Certification

[Dan Yasny]

I took LPI 1 and 2, and CompTIA L+ back in 2007-2008, it wasn't really
worth much and the level was basic. If you want a meaningful certification,
aim for RHCE and the courses that compose the RHCA

Any email sent to a list is "bulk". And I didn't, in any way, solicit this
Emma Watson bs, nor your pleas for funding or support. The very least you
could do, out of common courtesy (I really hope you know what that is) is
mark your email as offtopic, you know, like everyone in every other LUG
does, with the [OT] marker in the subject? This way I, and anyone else not
interested in anything but the technology this list is about, can filter it
out, and let you keep spamming those who are for some reason interested.

As soon as a list(/community/forum/etc) turns into an offtopic promoting
medium, the useful and productive community members leave. I've managed
enough forums to see that happen.

Nothing is vague here. This is off topic, your stories aren't interesting,

Job offers at least, are related to the tech that this list is there to
discuss. I'm not saying everything has to be about technology, but what you
are posting is utterly elsewhere.

Re: Computer recommendation for Linux server.

[Dima (Dan) Yasny]

any brandname machine with the right specs will do. a word of warning
though - don't hope to scale the specs, purchase the max set of
hardware you'll need right away - upgrades can be more expensive than
the machine itself.

If you expect to need more than a single server, maybe a beefy machine
that can carry multiple VMs would be preferable.

I've seen performance increases even using fakeraid (the feared intel

a UPS (to step in instead of a BBU) and, like mentioned above - lots

Would probably be cheaper to get a bunch of SATAs into a raid array -
spindle count matters after all.

My home machine is not too new, but it definitely took wing after I
replaced one large SATA disk with 6 smaller ones in a raid5 (I'm not
risky enough for raid0)

Re: mail issues questions

[Dima (Dan) Yasny]

DKIM is a method of publishing a public key in a txt DNS record, with which
the subject line of every email sent, is signed. When yahoo MTA's receive an
email, they don't just check the PTR record, they also check the subject
line signature, with the public key available in the DNS records. If the
signatures match - email goes through, otherwise it's dropped.

And as for SPF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework

I've had problems sending to yahoo, until I set up DKIM. Never tried
hotmail, though none of the mailbox holders ever complained, so I guess it's

Re: weird network issue

[Dima (Dan) Yasny]

If you remove the check link parts, do you keep seeing the issue? Would also
be nice to try with a different NIC type (e1000 or virtio)

I don't get anything out of those I'm afraid - books I can get and
read on my own, but I'm looking for something more structured, and
with more exercise...

Computer structure you say? I'll keep that in mind. In general, I'd
like to get a hold of at least a list of courses to look for and their
ordering.

I want to get some proper studies done because I've been touching some
topics here and there, and ended up at a point where I can write a
heavy recursive function in C or Python, but reading a bit of code
where instead of int I see unsigned int puzzles me.

Advice on where and what to study

[Dima (Dan) Yasny]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice on which courses and where to take, in the
Central area.

What I'm looking at is getting some more formal and proper programming
background, something around
Intro to C -> Advanced C -> intro to C++ -> Advanced C++ -> Linux
specifics maybe...

I tend to mostly work with Python, but I keep running into dead ends
because I lack proper education more and more recently

I am aware of proper BSc/BA programs, but I'd like to do this in under
a year overall, and stay away from the extra math/physics/etc courses.

Background - 15 years sysadmin, bash, python, powershell scripting
Highschool pascal, prolog, magic, assembly etc - long forgotten mostly

So if anyone is aware of a college of institution that provides such
courses, preferrably as a set up program, I'll be very happy to hear
about it


Cheers,
D.

Then look at Avocent's line of products - IMM/RSA/DRAC are an Avocent
rebrand really, and I suspect iLO has a lot from there as well

BTW, If you sell "fat" VPS, based on KVM for example, you can simply
provide VNC access to the VMs.

The native ones are quite OK nowadays - Dell DRAC/IBM IMM/HP iLO...

Anything Avocent should be OK as well

Even if the userbase is local, with no LDAP support, I could find a way to
sync it to AD using a script.

Wouldn't this be a bit of an overkill? This is a large collaboration portal
with a huge feature set, not a webexchanger

That would provide versioning, but large file support would be pretty lame.
All I need is a centralised place to which users from different offices can
upload files, assign permissions for other users from other offices, so that
the others can download those files from there.

Something like rapidshare, but with access control, or like dropbox, but
without the file sync abilities (which are nice, but quite redundant in my
case)

Web based file exchange portal

[Dima (Dan) Yasny]

Hi all,

I am looking for an OSS solution to the following:
- Linux (RHEL based) frontend, running on Apache
- Windows backend and filer, with AD auth
- Users are able to upload/download files using a web interface (and
hopefully a windows/OSX/Linux client)
- File versioning is nice to have
- Quotas for users
- FTP access is also nice to have

The idea is to have a Linux server in DMZ for file exchange control of files
that are actually in a network that holds the windows infrastructure
I have checked iFolder (mostly Suse oriented, mono/dotnet based, so I
probably can't use it). SparkleShare is too raw for production.

Either way, I don't really need the dropbox-like functionality, just the
basic file upload/download and permission management, maybe someone can
advise on an appropriate piece of software I could use


Thanks
D.

Re: official way to load aoe module?

[Dima (Dan) Yasny]

Thinking about it, in this case there doesn't seem to be any gain in using
AoE or iSCSI over NFS. NFS is far from being perfect, but it takes care of
the shared FS, and since the network spped is the bottleneck here...
