Some of you will tell me that most utility is doing it as well. And that’s right, but with ccze you will be able to colorize everything with a pipe. For example when you play with a verbose service like Pacemaker, you need to get colorization if you want to win time. Here is an example:
tail -f /var/log/syslog | ccze -A
It’s been a while now that I’ve heard of Ansible but I only started playing with a week ago. You may certainly know that I’m a Puppet lover, but this solution is more powerful than Puppet in my opinion.
So I started to migrate my personal Puppet to Ansible just to play with. Here are the pros:
No client needed on the clients, only SSH! It’s written in Python By default a lot of modules Not only a configuration management tool, it’s an orchestrator too!
If you’re not aware that the next kernel version will replace iptables by nftables, it’s time to learn on how it works, what are the features, why the change and how to use it.
If like me, you love PF, you’ll be pleased to find a similar syntax on NFtables ! To have a good introduction on it, look at those slides :
I recently read a post (on Korben’s blog) regarding a command called bd to go back to a directory from you current full path. It permits to do more than that !
In fact this is a simple shell script, but it really helps when you’re in a long subfolder list. For example if you reside in ‘/home/user/project/src/org/main/site/utils/file/reader/whatever’ and want to change to ‘/home/user/project/test’, then try ‘bd p`/test.
If you want to see all the possibilities, you can look at the main site project.
At my work, I taught a DRBD training for advanced usages at work. I produced some slides and I would like to share them :
I hope it could help…
Awesome is still my window manager and I still love it. With my laptop, I need to be able to quickly get my working environment when I power it on. The major problem I had was to avoid having the same opened windows at boot if I’m in the train, at work or at home. Of course there is no GPS in the laptop to detect my location, so I couldn’t set a rule for it.
I didn’t really play with Puppet since a long time and a lot of things have changed.
I’m currently writing a Puppet module for MySecureShell. And the thing is, it’s hard to quickly find the relevant information on how to build a module from scratch. I like to have experience return and what a chance when I saw a tweet regarding it, the same day as I started to write the module :-)
