I don't know. With VX?LANs you need a whole lot of other infrastructure to manage e.g. routes, load balancing or tenant-specific ACLs. By coercing BGP into providing isolation, you can slap on routing, load balancing, ACLs "for fr

OpenBSD invented a similar protocol to VRRP called CARP back when VRRP was patent-encumbered[0]. Configuring it is deceptively simple: just create an interface with ifconfig called "carpN", specifying VID, password and IP address[

If you need just the floating IP address, keepalived is fine. I'm mostly bitter from spending days tracking down a race condition stemming from its notification scripts, which wasn't really keepaliveds fault per se. But if you n

The tests are wildly inaccurate, and MBTI itself is not the full story of cognition and personality, but I think there is enough evidence suggesting that the cognitive functions as described by Jung[0] are very real. The article you linked

The above is how most people first configure tmux, since C-b is just awkward. `bind-key C-a send-prefix` is optional of course, but is used to forward C-a to the active window (beginning-of-line in shell and emacs). How would you do that in

Why don't you just change the prefix key instead? unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a bind-key C-a send-prefix I use C-z FWIW.

Frankly, I find hard-coding #!/bin/bash sensible in a large corporate setting such as Google. It prevents PATH manipulation and they obviously have a uniform and controlled environment. Bash arrays can be convenient, but at that l

Except they do even with `set -e`. Especially if you forget to/can't set `pipefail` (which is bash-specific). Or consider the last example from the wiki link above: set -e f() { local var=$(somecommand that fails); } f

I tend to avoid `set -e`. To borrow the Python adage: "explicit is better than implicit". In shell it translates to "if you need error handling, add it where necessary". See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Bas

A proprietary (and solid) alternative to Lustre would be GPFS, which also has a long track record in HPC (and other markets in which IBM thrives). As someone who completely shares your Lustre sentiment, I can't fathom why Intel keeps p

Docker supports native RBD since version 1.8. Which should be both faster and more reliable than using the S3 gateway (though that has other benefits and becoming pretty good too).

Native RDMA support for Ceph is still a ways off. The current implementation requires disabling Cephx authentication, which is a no-go in any environment where you can't completely trust every client (e.g. "cloud", where most

You can just uninstall it and use something else to configure networking. It's one of the first things I purge on any distro. With systemd it's not so simple.
