I have a fairly diverse set of links for readers this time around, covering topics from microchips to improving your writing, with stops along the way in topics like Kubernetes, virtualization, Linux, and the popular JSON-parsing tool jq. Michael Kashin shares the journey of containerizing NVIDIA Cumulus Linux. Servers/Hardware.

Michael Kashin has a good post on source IP address selection in Linux. Servers/Hardware I must admit that I always wanted to have a Sun workstation, and I’ve had an interest in SunOS/Solaris for years (check out this link if you don’t believe me). Here are some design considerations for Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz) networks.

Application monitoring. PRTG monitors all types of systems, devices and applications in your IT infrastructure: SNMP: Ready to use and with customization options. SSH: For Linux / Unix and MacOS systems. As devices are discovered, probes will also detect the services and hardware it can monitor. Web monitoring.

Devices first started as tightly-coupled hardware and software solutions. In recent years, we’ve seen more devices running off-the-shelf software (like Linux). Is the Linux bridge efficient enough? These challenges can be summarized as: I/O-intensive application virtualization. Intra-VM communication.

First up, there’s a great article on using IPVLAN with Docker and Cumulus Linux (with a tie back to sFlow, naturally!). Here’s a walkthrough by Cody Bunch on setting up BGP on Linux with Cumulus Quagga. Servers/Hardware. VMware is offering licenses for Log Insight to customers who already own NSX. Thanks Jason!

Servers/Hardware. This graphical summary of the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) is pretty handy. Operating Systems/Applications. Brendan Gregg has a pretty detailed write-up on migrating from Solaris to Linux (pertinent given the recent layoff of the majority of the Solaris developers). Nothing this time (sorry!).

Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. While written for OS X, most of these tips apply to Linux or other Unix-like operating systems as well. Mike Preston has a great series going on tuning Debian Linux running under vSphere. Want some additional information on layer 2 and layer 3 services in VMware NSX?

And heres another way to think about Chromes business model But when you consider the $50/year price to license an anti-viral, the $30/year to license a malware program and the additional $30/year you need for a registry cleaner, the software price of a Netbook gets completely out of line with its hardware cost.

It’s important to note that these security enhancements don’t really represent “net new” functionality but rather reflect existing Linux security constructs now being exposed and usable by Docker.

Log4j is used in many applications or is present, with dependencies in enterprise applications as well as numerous cloud services, all of which makes updating all the possible uses for it hard, even if coordinated in advance. As a developer you can go to GitHub, see the license agreements, and then add the code to your next build.

This time around, the content is a bit heavier on cloud management and applications/operating systems, but still lots of good content all the way around (I hope, anyway).

Again, if I'm explained to a layperson, I'll say like if it runs on your phone, it's probably a native application, but for example, when you go to a website, there's like code in your browser and the JavaScript that makes web apps work. It has a lot of applications. Organizations like Legit BS or Oder Of The Overflow.

The Academic version was only via volume licensing to qualified people, and supported 20 users and the beloved domain-join functionality. I’ve even seen old useless Linux based laptops, that have support for RDP be instantly turned into a powerful Windows 7 workstation. WMS is essentially a turnkey TS server on steroids.
