Update to 0.2. Links remain the same. At the moment I cannot host many versions (it’s mostly uncomfortable), but this might change in the future. I have created a GUI cables installer and configurator for L2TP on Linux. I have noticed that there is no GUI solution, so, after this has been brought up, I…
When I’ve created my setup (displayed below), I took into account the possibility of disconnection, or process fall, and I’ve left pppd to deal with it, by trying to connect just as it has fallen down. It was a good solution for the scenarios where there is a temporary, short timed disconnection. It fails to…

Linux Initial Ram Disk (initrd) is a mechanism to perform disk-independent actions before attempting to mount the ‘/’ disk. These actions usually include loading disk drivers, setting up LVM or software RAID, etc. The reason these actions are performed within initrd…

Every Linux admin is familiar with the long time running through a large directory tree (with hundred of thousands of files and more) can take. Most are aware that if you re-run the same run-through, it will be shorter. This is caused by a short-valid filesystem cache, where the memory is allocated to other tasks,…
