How to find what you’re looking for on Linux with find

There are a number of commands for finding files on Linux systems, but there are also a huge number of options that you can deploy when looking for them.For example, you can find files not just by their names, but by their owners and/or groups, their age, their size, the assigned permissions, the last time they were accessed, the associated inodes and even whether the files belong to an account or group that no longer exists on the system and so on.[Get regularly scheduled insights by signing up for Network World newsletters.] You can also specify where a search should start, how deeply into the file system the search should reach and how much the search result will tell you about the files it finds.To read this article in full, please click here

A $399 device that translates brain signals into digital commands

Scientists have long envisioned brain-sensing technology that can translate thoughts into digital commands, eliminating the need for computer-input devices like a keyboard and mouse. One company is preparing to ship its latest contribution to the effort: a $399 development package for a noninvasive, AI-based, brain-computer interface.The kit will let "users control anything in their digital world by using just their thoughts," NextMind, a commercial spinoff of a cognitive neuroscience lab claims in a press release.To read this article in full, please click here

Multicloud, security integration drive massive SD-WAN adoption

Using AppleScript To Size A Window To 16×9 On MacOS

As part of an automation workflow I’m building around Elgato Stream Deck, I needed a way to size an application window to 16×9. This would be one component of a workflow that would allow me to launch an app, size the window, position it on the screen, and hide all the other windows with the push of a Stream Deck button.

The easy part was the Stream Deck configuration. The hard part was the AppleScript–I had never written one.

The Script

This AppleScript is crude, but it’s a start. I explain what the script is doing using inline comments, which in AppleScript are noted by the leading double-hyphens, although pound signs and (* *) delimiters for multi-line comments are also supported.

----------------------------------------------------------
-- SET VARIABLES
----------------------------------------------------------
-- theApp = name of the app MacOS will act upon
set theApp to "ApplicationName"

-- appWidth = how many pixels wide we'd like the window
-- appHeight is calculated as a 16:9 ratio of "appWidth"
-- Note that "as integer" means decimal portions of a 
-- calculation are truncated.
set appWidth to 1600
set appHeight to appWidth / 16 * 9 as integer

-- screenWidth = display pixel width
-- screenHeight =  Continue reading

Getting Started with Istio Using Docker Desktop

This is a guest post from Docker Captain Elton Stoneman, a Docker alumni who is now a freelance consultant and trainer, helping organizations at all stages of their container journey. Elton is the author of the book Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, and numerous Pluralsight video training courses – including Managing Apps on Kubernetes with Istio and Monitoring Containerized Application Health with Docker.

Istio is a service mesh – a software component that runs in containers alongside your application containers and takes control of the network traffic between components. It’s a powerful architecture that lets you manage the communication between components independently of the components themselves. That’s useful because it simplifies the code and configuration in your app, removing all network-level infrastructure concerns like routing, load-balancing, authorization and monitoring – which all become centrally managed in Istio.

There’s a lot of good material for digging into Istio. My fellow Docker Captain Lee Calcote is the co-author of Istio: Up and Running, and I’ve just published my own Pluralsight course Managing Apps on Kubernetes with Istio. But it can be a difficult technology to get started with because you really need a solid background in Kubernetes Continue reading

BrandPost: What You Need to Know about NVMe-oF™

The era of NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) is quickly approaching. By 2025, most data centers will likely have adopted NVMe-oF for some part of their architecture1. Accessing data from a shared storage system will be essentially as fast and as low latency as accessing data from direct attached storage (DAS). The year 2025 seems like a lifetime from now but the reality is it will be here before you know it.Here are some of the top questions we hear from customers about this emerging technology. In this blog, our data center experts offer their responses, and point you to additional resources for understanding both the NVMe™ protocol and the fabric that stitches it together.To read this article in full, please click here

BrandPost: Stumbles, Fumbles, and Pratfalls: Steps to Avoid When Future-Proofing Your WAN

When SD-WAN was introduced, it was widely seen as an MPLS alternative. Today just about any credible, Internet-based SD-WAN solution can be used to replace a regional MPLS network. The bigger question is what happens the day after you networked your regional offices.How will your SD-WAN deliver predictable application experience overseas or where Internet routing is unpredictable? How will your SD-WAN adapt to the cloud and mobile users, the new tenants of the modern enterprise? In short, understanding how your SD-WAN will accommodate the unpredictable is essential if you hope to future-proof your WAN.To read this article in full, please click here

BrandPost: Performance Drives Innovation and Security Vendors Need to Keep Up

In 1969, the very first e-message was sent over the ARPANET from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's UCLA laboratory to a network node located at Stanford. That event kicked off a digital revolution that has utterly transformed our world. And ever since that first defining moment, the one question that has driven nearly all subsequent digital innovation has been: “How can we do this even faster?”We are still wrestling with that same challenge today. The latest advances in computing, such as edge device hyperconnectivity and the hyperscalability achievements of advanced data center architectures are the result of the desire to achieve better performance. Speed is the driving force behind the digital transformation of today’s business infrastructures. It enables access to critical data and resources, drives business efficiencies, scales application development, increases productivity, generates revenue, and accelerates ROI.To read this article in full, please click here
