Q&A with Ryan Brailey

Ryan joins us here at Anchor for an eight-week internship. We caught up with him over breakfast to see how it’s going. Could you tell us a bit about where you’re from and what brings you to Anchor? Sure. I’m from Camden, and I’m currently in my third year of a B.IT (Networking) at University [...]

A stronger tingling sensation

If you’re just joining us, you should probably have a quick read of the previous post in which I talked about tingle, a tool to help you think less when it comes to installing package updates. Now that we have a tool to make updates quick and easy, we need to use it. The critical [...]

That tingling sensation

This is the first post of a two-part set. We’re talking about keeping your system up to date, specifically Linux ones. Maybe you religiously check for updates and apply them every Monday. Maybe you’re a bit perverse and start your morning with a black coffee and a quick emerge world. Or maybe you’re lazy (like [...]

Dedicated crypto accelerator cards? Please, that’s so last decade

Today I’ve been looking over the legacy architecture for a new customer we have coming on board. I think it’s fair to say that they’re of a substantial size. One of the things that stands out to me is that they have five load-balancers (huh?) on the public-facing end, and then seven nginx frontends terminating [...]

Meet our newest Anchorite – Minh Duy Do

Minh joins us while completing his Bachelor of Business (HR) at the University of Western Sydney, and has already set his sights on achieving some mighty big goals at Anchor. Asked what he wants to achieve in the next twelve months, he thinks for a moment before replying with a smile: “CEO!” For the moment [...]

Collaborative hydration session tonight

100% FAT-free

I wrote some documentation for our sysadmins last week detailing how one should deal with a critical diskspace notification at some ungodly hour of the morning. On the specifics of checking filesystems with the df tool: “Astute readers will notice that we don’t query btrfs filesystems here; this is because btrfs uses extents, and inodes [...]

Channelling your rage

Getting notifications when servers break is always annoying. We use Nagios at Anchor, a very popular solution. “Friggen nagios!” is a pretty common cry. If you get a lot of notifications in quick succession, your Rage meter starts to build up. When it hits 100% you unleash a special attack and reboot the server. That’s [...]

Draft RFC for new 7xx HTTP status codes

It’s come to our attention that a proposal for additional status codes has been released. RFC for the 7XX Range of HTTP Status codes – Developer Errors We’re most in favour of the 73x series, I reckon one of the guys here could hack up a filter in perl to convert those pesky 500-errors from [...]

LCA day 4 – On freedom

It goes without saying that Linuxconf is all about free software, as in both beer and/or speech. A number of today’s talks focused on freedom, in the context of access to data and code, and the freedom to use software (and hardware) the way you see fit. We actually had two great keynote talks on [...]
