  • How to build your own CDN using BIND, GeoIP, Nginx, Varnish | UNIXy – In this article, we shall outline the steps required to build a private Content Delivery or Distribution Network (CDN) using a VPS with Varnish Cache and Nginx. The goal is to build a CDN using free, readily available software but most importantly spend the least amount of funds possible. To this end, all nodes participating in this network are going to be virtual machines (Xen, Virtuozzo, OpenVZ, etc). Should you have any questions or comments on the configuration of this CDN, please post them in this forum: http://www.varnish-cache.info/
  • Comandi testuali per i sistemi Windows – […] Al lavoro, spesso mi capita di dover eseguire le stesse operazioni su più server, più volte alla settimana. La maggior parte di queste operazioni riguardano utilità di sistema di Windows, come la gestione utenti di Active Directory, o quella del DNS od altro ancora. Certo, un collegamento sul desktop è comodo, ma in talune situazioni può tornare decisamente comodo (e più veloce) conoscere il nome degli eseguibili relativi ad un determinato pannello MMC, piuttosto che l’apposita applicazione contenuta nel Pannello di Controllo.<br />
    <br />
    Quello che segue è un elenco della maggior parte di questi comandi, tutti lanciabili direttamente dal pannello “Esegui” situato nello Start Menu di Windows. Alcuni di questi comandi possono essere distruttivi, portando addirittura alla formattazione del disco ed alla conseguente perdita di dati, per cui usateli solo se ritenete di essere in grado di farlo […]

CoolSQL inclineds to view and analyze data in the database, provides abundant functions including querying, modifying, exporting, supporting sqlscript and analyzing data.

  • ottimizzazioni (quasi) estreme – In fondo, perché far ricomprimere ad Apache lo stesso file centomila volte al giorno, se questo non cambia praticamente mai? Non sarebbe possibile comprimerlo “a priori” e poi istruire il server a fornire la giusta versione a seconda che il browser dell’utente supporti o meno il formato gzip? A quanto pare la risposta è si
  • Trouble-Maker – Being a system administrator is full of interesting challenges. We like this. However, some of these challenges can be problematic, if they cause service interrupts on production systems. Most system administrators have run into the situation where something is wrong, the server is down, and we don't know what is going on. This project attempts to help.<br />
    <br />
    There are a lot of tools out there to make the system administrator's life easier. However, no tool is a replacement for properly understanding the system and experience in troubleshooting unknown situations. This is where Trouble-Maker comes in. Unlike other projects, we do not attempt to solve problems — we cause them.

  • 20+ .htaccess Hacks Every Web Developer Should Know About | DevMoose – […] Apache's .htaccess(hypertext access) configuration file can be a very powerful tool in a web developer's toolkit if used properly. It can be found in the webroot of your server and can be easily edited using any text editor. In this article I'm going to show you 20 .htaccess hacks and how to use them.<br />
    Before I start with this article I'd like to start by saying that abusing the .htaccess file will hurt the performance of your website. The .htaccess file should only be used if you have no other way to achieve certain things.<br />
    Make sure to back up your current .htaccess file before applying any of the following hacks. […]<br />

  • Keeping an eye on TSM volumes – […] I wrote a quick script which tells me when volumes in TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) have access and/or media issues and shoots me off an email. The script does two things:<br />
    1) Checks for volumes which are NOT in the states READWRITE or OFFSITE.<br />
    2) Checks for volumes which have a read/write error count >0.<br />
    I’m sure that most people running TSM in their environment have some sort of daily reporting that gets sent out. If that’s the case, you can simply extract the SQL from the script and use it in your own reporting tools.<br />

  • Mappare stampanti di rete con VBScript – Problematica semplice: una stampante di rete nuova, diversi PC che devono poterla utilizzare, non c’è kix che può aiutarmi ma c’è Active Directory con il suo Netlogon sempre valido. Dato che spiegare agli utenti come mapparsi una stampante potrebbe diventare una delle missioni più difficili di questo mondo e data l’urgenza della cosa, un piccolo trucco in VBScript può venire in soccorso per mappare tutto ciò che desideriamo in pochissimi secondi.
  • Extract Registry values from offline Registry file with RegFileExport – RegFileExport is a new command-line utility for advanced users that allows you to easily extract keys and values from offline Registry file located on external hard-drive and export them into a standard .reg file of Windows. RegFileExport doesn't load the file into a Registry hive like RegEdit, instead, it directly reads the Registry file and analyzes it.<br />
    <br />
    RegFileExport may also be able to extract keys and values from the Registry file even if the Registry file is corrupted and cannot be loaded by Windows<br />

  • [ubuntu] How to install Windows 7 as a KVM Virtual Machine under Ubuntu … – Well one reason I do it is now I don't have to have a Dual Boot setup on my machine. <br />
    <br />
    Now I always boot into Ubuntu initially and if I need Windows running I just goto System Tools – Virtual Machine Manager (or the command line) to start up Windows XP, Vista or Win7. <br />
    <br />
    Once started it is running concurrently with my Ubuntu Linux so I can easily switch back & forth from Ubuntu to Windows while running applications in BOTH operating systems! <br />
    <br />
    Better than dual-boot where your choice is run one or the other but NOT both simultaneously.<br />
    <br />
    So whether you currently dual boot to WinXP, Vista or some other Operating System you can now use KVM on Ubuntu
