MTBF : have you already heard of that ? (Hard drive failure)

5 June 2013 in Hi-Tech

I’ve friends that recently encountered a big outage outage on a MySQL database on the top of a ZFS zpool. As this story is not common, I wanted to share it with you.

3 June 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

I’m very happy of Mozilla Sync service and trust more in Mozilla foundation than Google for my datas. Anyway there is a thing that I don’t like : sharing my passwords into the cloud !

Switch audio output to another USB device

1 June 2013 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux

I recently talked about my new keyboard and the output sound directly on the keyboard. That’s a great thing, but depending on your distribution and the desktop you’ve installed, it may not work out of the box. That’s why I’ve written a documentation to make it work. In addition, I’ve modified my awesome configuration to get special music keys to work like a charm :-)

But this one is really, really cool. The touch feeling is really fine, additional button are nice (more would be great as well…but it’s ok) and the must : input and output sound are directly on the keyboard, without any additional cables (all through USB :-)).

Like in most of programming languages, even if it’s not a compiled one, there is always a solution to make binaries from your sources.

It’s in french sorry, but you should be able to understand even if you don’t speak french (or use the translate plugin in the left bar). Documentation is here.

Integrit is a simple yet secure alternative to products like tripwire.
