Since I’ve reinstalled my desktop on my new MacBook Pro 13, I had to fight with some problems with my Yubikey. I never had such and wonder if it couldn’t comes from a Debian package update.
Anyway, I had problem with permissions on the USB device and found a udev solution. I’ve updated my documentation and let you check and would like a feedback if some of you have encountered the same issue (USB error: Access denied (insufficient permissions))
Galera uses a preallocated file with a specific size called gcache, used to store the writesets in circular buffer style. By default, its size is 128MB and it’s a good idea to upgrade it to a higher value.
I’ve updated my documentation on that if you want to check. In addition, you can find more informations, I suggest a Severalnines link.
This is not a really good news. An announcement at OSMC (Open Source Monitoring Conference) as been made by Andreas Ericsson ( Nagios 4 core dev) about the future of Nagios.
Nagios 4 is the latest Core version of the project ! Only the enterprise version will remain (strategic choice of Ethan, the creator).
A Nagios 4 fork will appear called Naemon and developed by Andreas Ericsson. I remind as well that the Shinken is a real good alternative and is able to work with your current Nagios configuration.
I recently crypted all my disk as I changed laptop. At the beginning, I just tested a simple password to see performances changes.
I didn’t really see changes for the moment.
Once I’ve finished to install and configure my needs, I wanted to have a strong password solution. I decided to use a remembered password concatenated to a generated yubikey password.
I updated my LUKS tutorial to explain how to update the password.
I tested to install Debian as I love it more than Mac OS X for work on my new MacBook Pro 13 retina. Most of the hardware works out of the box on a Debian Jessie (because of the kernel version > 3.8) but is not really optimal. That’s why I’m going to explain how I did to make it better.
First of all, you need an EFI manager. I discovered that Refit is not maintained anymore and let place to rEFInd instead.
Yes I did it ! I finally switched from my fantastic Lenovo to the latest MacBook Pro 13.
Some of you won’t understand why I did it, but in fact you’ll see this is an evidence. What was the problem with the Lenovo ? Just the weight ! I’m usually transporting it from work to home and vice versa. I now have a backache and it couldn’t continue like that. Hopefully eNovance is a comprehensive company and allowed me to switch to another laptop of my choice.
I finally found a tiling window manager for OS X and it’s free ! It’s called Xnomad and could be found on GiHub.
Easy to install, it gives the major features of a standard tiling window manager. This is a must have for me now on OS X.
Hope you’ll like it as I !
