As developers, operators and devops people, we are all hungry for visibility and efficiency in our workflows. As Linux reigns the “Open-Distributed-Virtualized-Software-Driven-Cloud-Era”— understanding what is available within Linux in terms of observability is essential to our jobs and careers.
More often than not and depending on the size of the company it’s hard to justify the cost of development of debug and tracing tools unless it’s for a product you are selling. Like any other Linux subsystem, the tracing and observability infrastructure and ecosystem continues to grow and advance due to mass innovation and the sheer advantage of distributed accelerated development. Naturally, bringing native Linux networking to the open networking world makes these technologies readily available for networking.
There are many books and other resources available on Linux system observability today…so this may seem no different. This is a starter blog discussing some of the building blocks that Linux provides for tracing and observability with a focus on networking. This blog is not meant to be an in-depth tutorial on observability infrastructure but a summary of all the subsystems that are available today and constantly being enhanced by the Linux networking community for networking.

We find ourselves recording this in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and I have to be honest that it’s been a bit challenging finding motivation to talk about networking when there’s so many other important things on people’s minds. I mean, who really cares about networking at a time like this? But as I started thinking about that very question the reality hit me, it’s everyone. Everyone cares about networking at a time like this because everyone, young and old, is using technology, networking, and specifically the Internet to hold on to whatever normalcy they can in these crazy times. The fact is that networking, and other core infrastructure skill sets have never been more important than they are right now. The real question I was challenged with wasn’t who cares about networking at a time like this, it’s who cares about a networking podcast at a time like this. I imagine some do, and some don’t, but we’re going to take today’s episode a bit lightly and just talk about what’s top of mind. We hope you’ll listen along.

These are the general steps you should typically use to transfer data from your SD card to your phone, or you could check your user manual for the particular phone’s specific steps. This is because different phones have different ways of moving their data from the SD card to the phone.
For a normal HTC Android, to transfer your data from your SD card to your phone, you should connect the USB to the device than to a computer. Make sure you use the USB that came with the HTC for the fastest results. Open a folder and view the files and then click OK. Get the data you want to move, cut, copy or paste the data you need from the SD card to the internal storage of the phone. From here you tap disconnect from the PC. And you enjoy your files.
For LG Android, you tap on the file manager, go to all files, tap SD card, find the folder you want to move to your internal memory, tap the manage files icon (the down arrow) then check the box, Continue reading

Earlier this month, we announced our plans to relaunch our intern hiring and double our intern class this summer to support more students who may have lost their internships due to COVID-19. You can find that story here. We’ve had interns joining us over the last few summers - students were able to find their way to us by applying to full-time roles and sometimes through Twitter. But, it wasn’t until last summer, in 2019, when we officially had our first official Summer Internship Program. And this year, we are doubling down.
We have found interns to be invaluable. Not only do they bring an electrifying new energy over the summer, but they also come with their curiosity to help solve problems, contribute to major projects, and bring refreshing perspectives to the company.
The project aims to create an open, software-defined access network for gigabit internet service.
