RE: Please run windows update now

2017-05-15 Thread Eliezer Croitoru
Calling someone who uses Windows un-professional would be a "gossip" style
phrase.
This is a piece of software which can be tested and compared to others.
Would Android be better then windows only because it is based on the Linux
kernel or since it's based on the full engineering it was invested from the
bottom up? 

So from my point of view on things:
Windows is good
Linux is good
BSD is good
Mac is good
Others, good...

But depends on what you need.
If you need to work with a system that has a specific compatibility or
usability levels then this is what you need.
If it works for me it doesn't mean that it's either good or bad for me and
others!

I love Linux based systems but they all need some "magic hands" on them to
convert them from Linux to "something better".
So with this in mind: If you are a magician and Linux feels good for you it
doesn't mean that everybody should be magicians!

Tell you what.  Go over to http://line6.com/software/ - You convince them to
produce a Linux version of the software for their musician's gear, and I'll
get rid of the Toshiba laptop running Windows.  Alternatively, find me an
OSX laptop that costs anywhere near the $400 I paid for the Toshiba
Satellite.

(And yes, I already tried running their software in a VM, neither VirtualBox
or VMWare does a good enough job of emulating MIDI-over-USB2 to let the
drivers in the VM connect to my Pod HD, so don't bother suggesting that).

You want to repeat your claim that I'm an unprofessional, unethical moron
because I have a fully patched Windows 10 laptop that's backed up on a
regular basis because there's no realistic alternative?

10GbE uplink currently handling ~2gbps peak traffic.

These services are not meant to sustain 10Gbe for a very long time.
The specs from:

Are pretty good and accurate.
As long you won't use ATOM CPUs you will probably max the 10Gbe.

Re: OT - Small DNS appliances for remote offices.

2015-02-18 Thread Eliezer Croitoru

Hey Ray,

Most tiny routers with 64MB ram are able to run a cache dns service 
while not all of them have the same level such as BIND but rather dnsmasq.
I think that it's not always a bad choice and it depends on what other 
infrastructure needs you have in these remote locations.


Someone mentioned mikrotik and they use some kind of caching daemon 
which might even be dnsmasq under the hood.


I would first make sure what is the reliability that you need which 
means if you have a FW and Cisco then you will might want something more 
then a basic TP-LINK router.(which maybe the right choice...)


Assuming this infrastructure is big enough you will prefer a basic 
mikrotik for the cost and support.

Am looking for options to deploy DNS caching resolvers at remote

equipment) and limited options for installing a noisier, more power

too expensive.

Thanks Wayne,
I have used ntop in the past but was not very happy with the results
and now I tried it once again and I am happy about it.
It works and looks very nice.

Linux router traffic monitoring, how? netflow?

2014-11-13 Thread Eliezer Croitoru
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hey all,

I have a tiny linux router based on ubuntu and sometimes I get a
massive load of UDP traffic because of one of the PCs in the network.
Usually I handle the situation with a strict block using iptables.
The main issue is to find it due to the load.
For now I am monitoring the traffic load using MRTG but it won't
notify me.
I can try to use nagios to monitor traffic load for a period of time
but before I start working on it I want another person opinion and
options.

I have seen netflow in the past but never actually used it.

Thanks in advance,
Eliezer
