I hate not reading stories on HN that are insightful, informative, or thought provoking.

One thing that I see often that annoys has to do with the logical volume manager. Many people allocate their logical volumes to use the entire volume group. This doesn't leave any room for snapshots, which is the #1 reason I use LVM in th

The OP is not likely interested in monitoring software advocacy, he wants "a quick & dirty way to guarantee a good nights sleep" while his buddy is on vacation. I still think a smart wrapper around check_tcp is the way to do this. Perh

Grab the Nagios plugins tarball, build it on linux, and find the check_tcp program. Wrap a little shell program around check_tcp that will either do nothing, or fire off your script depending on the return code of check_tcp. Run this once

Yes. Although there would be some setbacks, the MySQL documentation for example is not under an open source license.

Congratulations. In every discussion thread about MySQL there is always one guy who has to mention that PostgreSQL is a superior alternative to MySQL, thus reigniting yet another off-topic discussion of the relative merits of each. Today

Adding an opcode cache speeds things up, but can expose segfaulting bugs in PHP modules that write to errant pointers and corrupt the cache. One of the features I like in xcache is readonly cache protection, which helps prevent these kind

This is just a brief summary of the Michael Stonebraker's piece "The End of a DBMS Era (Might be Upon Us)" which appeared on HN a few days ago. As far as I can tell it adds nothing new, am I missing something?

My apologies for offending. DIY is "do it yourself". An enthusiast (like myself) would prefer to use OpenVPN or FreeSWAN instead of a Cisco ASA, would rather use iptables on a Linux box than a commodity firewall, would rather slap a wirel

Let me get this straight. You intentionally built out a custom DYI enthusiast IT infrastructure out of a random collection of OpenBSD and Linux boxen and then complain that nobody but you understands it? Unless you've completely documente

I'm not sure this is true anymore. The mysql client library (which your closed source product needs to talk to mysql) is GPL. Now you want your closed-source program to stay that way, so you have to either dig up the old public domain cli
