Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Debian Wheezy
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, storage •
Comments: 1 This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Debian Wheezy. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

Tags: apache, ubuntu, web server •
Comments: 0 How To Forward Ports To Your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS LAMP Server This how-to is a wrapper for the fantastic portforwarding help site www.portforward.comTo support, and make it very easy for, those who want to set up a home server on an ubuntu 12.04 LTS server running LAMP. I will assume you have installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS with LAMP and are trying to setup a webserver and need to do a port forward for port 80. While we're at it we'll choose a setup to do port 443 as well so we could potentially host websites on https later. Once you've gone through the process you can repeat it for any ports you may require as defined by the service you are trying to serve to the internet.

How To Test Your Dansguardian, Safesquid, POESIA, Parental Internet Filter Or We-Blocker Keyword Filter Anytime Anywhere
Author: Webmaestro • Tags: linux, security • Comments: 4How To Test Your Dansguardian, Safesquid, POESIA, Parental Internet Filter Or We-Blocker Keyword Filter Anytime Anywhere Keyword filters block unwanted web pages on the basis of potentially fallen words found in them. However, to be sure that a page is indeed offensive, keyword filters nowadays are not designed to block sites on the basis of just about any potentially offensive word. Instead they measure the number of potentially offensive phrases and often the number of times they occur so as to allow a limited number of occurrences in pages such as those on anatomy, forms requiring gender information, crime reports, statistical reports, administrative information, art etc. The leading keyword blockers like Dansguardian which is extremely popular on Linux or SafeSquid which is popular on Linux and Windows use this method known as a weighed keyword score.
