improve your entropy pool in linux

Posted on 1 April 20164 April 2022 By antipaucity 2 Comments on improve your entropy pool in linux

A few years ago, I ran into a known issue with one of the products I use that manifests when the Red Hat Linux server it’s running on has a low entropy pool. And, as highlighted in that question, the steps I found 5 years ago didn’t work for me (turns out modifying the t…

what to automate

Posted on 6 May 20147 May 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on what to automate

I have been in the world of automation for quite a while. Specifically in the realms of server, datacenter, and cloud automation – but I’ve been interested and/or involved in other tasks that tend towards automation (even for a short period of time) for far longer than just my post-college time in the world of…

a smart[ish] dhcpd

Posted on 10 March 20147 March 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on a smart[ish] dhcpd

After running into some wacky networking issues at a recent customer engagement, I had a brainstorm about a smart[ish] DHCPd server that could work in conjunction with DNS and static IP assignment to more intelligently fill subnet space. Here’s the scenario we had: Lab network space is fairly-heavily populated with static assigned addresses – in…

automating or automation?

Posted on 11 May 201329 May 2025 By antipaucity 3 Comments on automating or automation?

I have been working in the realm of “automation” – specifically data center automation – for several years. Merriam-Webster defines “automating” thusly: to operate by automation to convert to largely automatic operation <automate a process> Notice the subtle difference with M-W’s definition of “automation“: the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system…

delivering solutions – “shipping is a feature!”

Posted on 18 March 20135 August 2022 By antipaucity 4 Comments on delivering solutions – “shipping is a feature!”

Back in 2009, Joel Spolsky wrote an article called The Duct Tape Programmer. Of everything he has written, I think this is the very pinnacle, and it is summed in one simple sentence in the middle: “Shipping is a feature.” I’ve referenced this article twice before (in Feb and Sep of ’11). Why is this…

call

Posted on 16 February 201315 February 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on call

I learned about the call command in Windows recently. Some context – was trying to run a command via HPSA at a customer, but kept getting an error that the program was not a recognized internal or external command. Very frustrating. Then one of the guys I worked with suggested adding a “call” to the…

storage strategies – part 4

Posted on 2 March 201229 February 2012 By antipaucity No Comments on storage strategies – part 4

Last time I talked about storage robustifiers. In the context of a couple applications with which I am familiar, I want to discuss ways to approach balancing storage types and allocations. Storage Overview Core requirements of any modern server, from a storage standpoint, are the following: RAM swap Base OS storage OS/application log storage Application…
