Ad-hoc remote backups to tape
ByEtzion 19/07/2009

I have a nice SCSI tape connected to a single server. This allows for on-demand backups, with the hope (and seldom, with the established knowledge) that I can recover the data I have there. Old computers, decommissioned computers and systems I wish to erase and reuse are seldom backed-up, just because of the effort in…

I have a Nabaztag/tag
ByEtzion 12/06/2007

I have received my Nabaztag/tag just a day ago, and it is a cute little thingie. At-ten-tion! What can it do? Actually, not much. It is a wireless device (client) which access Violet’s Nabaztag servers to get its commands. You, theoretically, cannot hijack the session and use it directly over LAN, but you must go…

Using yum with SOCKS proxy

This can happen, of course, only if the host running VMware-Server is Linux.

LVM snapshots have one vast disadvantage

Allow Postfix to call custom scripts by using mail aliases
ByEtzion 11/01/202411/01/2024

Using custom mail aliases to run scripts is an existing practice. However, on modern Linux distributions it is blocked as a security risk. Following Postfix common guidelines do not allow for it to run the scripts. It reports the script as called, however – it does actually nothing. This has been verified on Oracle Linux…

Bonding + VLAN tagging + Bridge – updated
ByEtzion 25/04/2012

In the past I hacked around a problem with the order of starting (and with several bugs) a network stack combined of network bonding (teaming) + VLAN tagging, and then with network bridging (aka – Xen bridges). This kind of setup is very useful for introducing VLAN networks to guest VMs. This works well on…

  With pleasure 🙂
  This is the reason I have created nabrss. I should add more functionality into it, but I will do so as soon as I bother re-activating the nabaztags.
