  • newswall is a tool to display feeds and e-mails. – Just like on a "news wall" all messages – sorted by date and time – show up in small blocks, if possible together with an image. That way it is easy to find the most important and interesting news and then have a closer look at these. So it is sort of a feed reader mixed with an e-mail viewer having the look of an image gallery. Or so… Might also be a good choice for the iPad – and other tablets, too 😉 […]<br />

  • LasCon Storage – TSM Administration – Tivoli is part of IBM, and they provide a suite of management products for distributed systems. TSM used to be called ADSM and works on the 'incremental backup forever' principle, which takes a bit of getting used to, compared to the more traditional 'weekly full backup and daily incremental' system. With TSM, you backup all your clients to one central data backup server. This makes administration a lot easier, but means you have to limit the amount of data you send over the network. That's why TSM needs to be incremental. A central database records all backup information, and can be used to recreate a whole server if necessary. TSM always keeps at least one backup of every on-line file.

  • Backup su HSDPA con router Linux – La settimana scorsa Stefano ha avuto un down tremendo della HDSL, più di 72 ore, quasi insopportabili per una azienda al giorno d’oggi.

    Ho cercato in rete se esisteva già qualche setup, ma ho trovato solo una guida per zeroshell e alcune discussioni su forum che però non erano pienamente esaustive.

  • Get your Dell Service Tag number via the Linux (or Windows) command-line – Brandon Checketts – When your server is located in a data center far away, it makes it difficult to walk over to the box and read the service tag off of it. Fortunately, the Service Tag is stored somewhere in the system BIOS, and is accessible with the ‘dmidecode’ utility.
  • TCP Traffic Analyzer (Yahoo! Developer Network Blog) – You probably have questions like these about traffic on a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) server (or client):<br />

    * How many connections needed more than N attempts to succeed?<br />
    * What is the distribution of connection duration or connection throughput?<br />
    * What is the distribution of connection duration or throughput for connections in which the server or client sent more than N bytes?<br />
    * What specific IP addresses and ports had connections that lasted between 50 and 100 milliseconds long?<br />
    <br />
    You can get answers to these questions (and more) using Yahoo!'s TCP Traffic Analyzer (yconalyzer), available as an open-source project via free download.
