To the original question: no idea what do you mean by package, but you can't send a TCP/IP packet to the "Internet" that will be looped forever - there is a field in the header called TTL, that gets decremented by each host along the way. W

The great hardware support is indeed provided by the kernel, but out of the box it's nowhere near pain-free. In particular when you have to setup your wireless or video drivers. Sadly, these two still often require binary drivers and pickin

XtraBackup has its limitations wrt to locking when you've got a mix between InnoDB and MyISAM tables. The problem with taking a backup from a MySQL slave is that the data is not guaranteed to be identical to the master, thanks to the subtle

You should've used pgAdmin [1], it's much better than PhpPgAdmin [1]. I have not used the MySQL GUI (MySQL Workbench [2])that Oracle/Sun/MySQL sells with the Enterprise license but by its feature list I suspect that it provides comparable f

It's good that you haven't had any problem with your Time Capsule, especially overheating. Due to poor engineering and industrial design, there are a lot of people that have had issues with that and had to physically modify the case [1]. In

I personally like SFLPhone [1]. It's developed by the fine folks from Savoir-faire Linux [2] and supports encryption. Here is a guide how to configure it to encrypt traffic between the client and an Asterisk server [3]. [1] http://sflphone

This is one of the reasons I'm only a little sorry that Lua has taken over. Not without its shortcomings, Lua is a big advancement in this regard! :)

One of the biggest advantages of TCL in my opinion is the simplicity of its syntax. The lexer is quite simple, straightforward and easy to create. Properly written TCL interpreters are quite small and memory efficient. Because of this TCL u

I think that SUSE are trying to differentiate themselves by supporting Btrfs, which is a nice move on their part. Btrfs extensive features can be very useful in quite a few scenarios, so its wider adoption is more than welcome. I know quite

For a production server I think that the opposite is a better _general_ advice - reduce the available swap, because if your server gets to a point to need it, the performance will suffer so much that your server will become completely unres

It's not a problem running several services on the same box as soon as each of them is sized appropriately. What I suggest at least roughly calculate how much eg. RAM could each service use at peak time. This usage should be limited so that

I agree that having a simultaneous connection limit is a good safeguard. I was just noting that simply limiting the simultaneous connections to eg. 20, without considering all side-effects could lead to a world of hard-to-diagnose-and-repro

A few things have caught my attention in your post. Your biggest problem was that the configuration of your services was not sized/tuned properly for the hardware resources you've got. As a result of this your servers have become unresponsi
