Shared by stsimb Current cloud computing SLAs and their “take it or leave it” approach do not fit a world where business value is not uniform across all different data sets and workloads. Corporations (and especially the larger ones) need someone to blame when things go wrong. A few days ago, an article at SearchCloudComputing reported that Eli Lilly pharma […]
Shared by stsimb 1. align yourself with your boss's priorities2. add undeniable value Last week I wrote about how to get coworkers to adopt new technology so this week I thought I'd write about how to get your manager to do it too. For example, someone recently told me that he'd done a small deployment on Puppet for automating certain things. […]
Shared by stsimb None of the previous principles work without operations and engineering teams that work together seamlessly, and can handle problems together as a team. This is much easier said than done, but we have one general principle that's enormously helpful: The person responsible for something must have control over it. This seems terribly obvi […]
Shared by stsimb The thing is that current cloud computing SLAs and their “take it or leave it” approach do not fit a world where business value is not uniform across all different data sets and workloads. [...] Corporations (and especially the larger ones) need someone to blame when things go wrong — it is how the system has been working for ever. A few day […]
If you are teaching a group of people here's a useful technique: "I do, we do, you do". I do the task once, then the entire class does it together (in lock-step fashion), and then everyone does one on their own. When I do it, it gives everyone an understanding about how it is supposed to work from beginning to end. When we all do it together, […]
This article is an attempt to collect and present up-to-date information on the IPv6-readiness of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) from various vendors. This is an ongoing project, and we are currently seeking feedback from as many vendors as possible.
Stretch (@packetlife) shared an interesting link in a comment to my P2P traffic is bad for the network post: Facebook and Twitter use BitTorrent to distribute software updates across hundreds (or thousands) of servers ... another proof that no technology is good or bad by itself (Greg Ferro might have a different opinion about FCoE). Shortly after I’ve tweet […]
Shared by stsimb We often don't want to micromanage others or think it is rude to tell them what to do. But when we are just learning something we need to be told what to do. It is comforting to be told what to do. Once we get the hang of things we don't want to be told what to do, but that could be hours, days, or months into the project. You […]
A nice (but not perfect) tool to create a static package is: statifier Here is a simple but useful mini how to: (as root) # echo -n 0 >| cd /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # ldd /usr/bin/pacman linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fe1000) libalpm.so.5 => /usr/lib/libalpm.so.5 (0xb7fa8000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e5d000) libfetch.so => /usr/li […]
If you want to hire people to do a job, to be cogs in the system and to do what they're told, you might want to focus on people who don't think very highly of themselves.People with low self esteem might be more happy to be bossed around, timed, abused, misused and micromanaged, no?And the converse is true as well. If you want to raise your game an […]
Michael Opdenacker has announced the availability of videos from this year's Embedded Linux Conference, which was held in San Francisco in April. The slides and Theora video are available for most, if not all, of the talks. Opdenacker and the Free Electrons team do the community a great service by doing the work to record and transcode the videos. […]
Tiago Vignatti has put together a report on the development X.org 1.9. In the tradition of the kernel statistics reported on LWN, and the more recent GNOME census, he ranks developers and employers based on the number of changes made to various pieces of the X.org tree during the development of 1.9 (April 2 to August 20). The statistics are broken up along f […]
On his blog, Harald Welte writes about work he is doing as part of the gpl-violations.org project. "Right now I'm facing what I'd consider the most outrageous case that I've been involved so far: A manufacturer of Linux-based embedded devices (no, I will not name the company) really has the guts to go in front of court and sue another com […]

"Frans was involved in Debian as a maintainer of several packages, a supporter of the S/390 port, and one of the most involved members of the Debian Installer team. He was a Debian Listmaster, editor and release manager of the Installation Guide and the releas […]
