Yeah it wasn't well announced when the change was made, esentially if you find any linud machines running any kernel dating way back to 3.5 make sure you change vm.swappiness=0 to vm.swappiness=1

Yeah I know right, Ubuntu breaks userspace all the time, Debian isn't quite as bad but it's much worse than it used to be thanks to so many missing packages, try building a cluster / HA system on it - you actually can't!

and it's whatever is the latest, stable, tested version of the kernel when using Elrepo's Kernel-ml repo: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml

We run the latest mainline kernel on all our 200-300ish CentOS hosts after it's passed standard testing and is available in Elrepo: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml Back when we ran Debian everywhere I wrote a CI

SELinux is an absolute must in todays world, simply put it prevents applications and namespace from doing thing outide of their area of interet, for example a web server should never be allowed to execute files from /tmp so it prevents

Most SELinux policies, Corosync and Pacemaker and related HA / clustering tools, and a pile of other things and they settled for a really awful stable kernel major in Jessie / 8.x. It really went downhill with, the release of 8.0,

It's not just a bunch of people setting cm.swappieness to 0 is it? That behaviour changed and now prevents going into swap /ever/ where it used to mean go into swap as a last resort. Changing it to 1 fixes the issue and will

Simple, sensible advise IMO. I personally highly recommend 1Password, it's not free or open source - but it's very well written and designed software by a very responsible and trustworthy company with a good security track record.

I'm the same but I don't torrent and I'm using sickrage rather than sonarr just because I find mono so unreliable, but I hear sonarr is better at finding older series.

I'm so sick of 'designers' thinking they're programmers and smashing out some NodeJS or JavaScript heavy crap with no regards to performance or security. Elixir seems to attract some smart minds that think 'big pict

Looks really interesting, I love goal 1: no JavaScript - YES! Thank you! And elixir is a very exciting language, especially to an ops person where when I read elixir code it actually makes sense to me and seems elegant. Ignoring my technica

No I'm not, we use 'consumer grade' (which is kind of a bs marketing term if you do your homework to ensure you get a quality brand and model) ssds in our SANs, we run 960GB Sandisk Extreme Pros in our first Gen and Micron M6

I don't use a backpack and after using this in the past I just wipe it clean after a meeting, nothing more annoying than when people leave writing on a whiteboard after a meeting!

I used to have a similar whiteboard stick on my old MacBook back in 2011 - it was really useful as long as I remembered to bring a whiteboard marker with me to meetings. It'd be nice to have an eink boogieboad like wrap instead but the

This seems odd to me as now more than ever I see more and more people with MacBooks / iMacs and AppleTVs which have become 'the standard' where as in the past you'd see people with windows laptops or whatever and that&#x

They've dropped enough that it's cheaper for us to purchase all 1TB SSDs to replace our 650GB 15K SAS disks in our SANs, after two years our drive failure rate has dropped by nearly 900% with a 5-40x performance gain depending on

I don't think this website could be any more broken on a mobile device, none of the buttons work, everything seems out of scale and the video doesn't load.

Yes GitLab support would be fantastic!

Looks really lovely, would be great to see GitLab integration, I'm seeing a lot of people move from Github Enterprise to GitLab CE/EE which (IMO) is a lot better to work with.

I couldn't agree more, and in JavaScript to top it off! Seriously people - don't just randomly connect to VPNs: you're essentially bridging your computer / network to a completely untrusted network that's more than
