Getting started with TMUX

This is one of those ‘I must be living under a rock’ things.  I’m not sure how I’ve never heard of TMUX before but it’s really pretty awesome.  I initially came across it when searching for a way to share a terminal session with another user.  It does that quite well but it’s also a great terminal session manager allowing for pane, window, and session management.  Let’s take a look at a quick example to show you what I mean.

Here we have a server called ‘tmuxtest’.  The server already has TMUX on it by default but if it’s not there you can easily install it (sudo apt-get install tmux, etc).  So let’s say I want to start a new session.  The easiest way to do this is to just type ‘tmux’..

Now we’re in TMUX.  We are in what’s called a ‘session’.  The session can contain multiple panes and multiple windows.  For instance, if I wanted to create a second pane I could do by pressing ‘Ctrl-b + %’…

Notice that the screen on the right, the new one, has a green boarder around it.  That’s my active screen.  Now if I want to split this screen horizontally Continue reading

Packet loss with Fast Reroute

Packet loss with Fast Reroute Do we still lose packet with fast reroute? One of my students asked me this question. And I would like to share the answer with everyone.

BrandPost: How to Beat the Wired Network Bottleneck and Wring More Business Value from your WLAN

If you’re looking at deploying 802.11ac Wi-Fi access point (AP) technology, as most companies have already, you may want to consider upgrading the speed of your wired connection between your APs and your wiring-closet Ethernet switch to avoid the kind of network saturation that puts a damper on worker productivity.  The 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard now accounts for 67.1% of dependent wireless AP shipments and more than 80% of revenue, “setting the stage for near obsolescence of the 802.11n standard by 2018 in the mainstream enterprise segment,” according to the research firm IDC.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Microsoft to Acquire Deep Learning Startup Maluuba

Microsoft employees say monitoring disturbing content traumatized them

There is a very dark underbelly to the web that is not for the weak of stomach. You may be thinking of 4chan, but that place is just the starting point. Unfortunately, it falls to some people to monitor this garbage for law enforcement, and in the case of two Microsoft employees, it drove them over the edge. In a lawsuit filed against Microsoft, Henry Soto and Greg Blauert claim they were forced daily for months to view some of the most disturbing photos and videos you can find on the internet and that Microsoft did nothing as the constant viewing took its toll on them. They now claim to suffer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The two were part of Microsoft’s Online Safety Team, a group formed to investigate content being stored on Microsoft sites, like OneDrive, that should be taken down or reported to police. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Google Cloud Key Management Service could help more enterprises encrypt data

Attackers are increasingly able to penetrate perimeter defenses, compromise accounts and mine data without targets even being aware of the attack, as the Democratic National Committee breach proved. Encrypting data is the best defense.Strong encryption of complex data structures requires a Key Management System (KMS). But implementing a KMS can be challenging, especially for enterprises below the security poverty line that don’t have the budget to hire a multidisciplinary security team. Google may have a solution with its Cloud Key Management Service (CKMS) now in beta in select countries.  To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

IDG Contributor Network: Infrastructure monitoring: Turn data into knowledge and minimize slowdowns

It’s 2 a.m., and a hospital’s system has slowed to a crawl. Lives are at stake. For the harried system admins looking for the source of the slowdown, time is of the essence.The hospital’s system has servers attached through a SAN to storage devices. But where’s the weak link? The administrator cannot afford to waste time analyzing server performance when the problem may be in a storage device or the SAN. He needs information that enables him to conduct his root cause analysis as quickly as possible.Perhaps you don’t have to worry about whether someone will live or die when your IT infrastructure fails. However, when it’s slow or down, it fails to deliver a satisfying user experience. Also, it’s likely that your company’s operations falter, costs increase, and your bottom line suffers.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
