  1. With so many interacting components, the number of things that can go wrong in a distributed system is enormous. You’ll never be able to prevent all possible failure modes, but you can identify many of the weaknesses in your system before they’re triggered by these events. This report introduces you to Chaos Engineering, a method of experimenting on infrastructure that lets you expose weaknesses before they become a real problem.

  2. A whole buncha' links with contradictory information on how to properly set up a mail server ;-)

    Disclaimer - My primary goal is to add proper Spamassassin (SA) filtering to an existing Postfix / Dovecot / roundcube installation, i.e.:

    • use SA as a milter (mail filter) to attribute a spam score to incoming mail
    • keep SA up-to-date
    • train SA with spam/ham from the users' virtual mailboxes
    • train SA according to user decisions (actual user or trained mail client with automatic/trained spam detection)

    Here we go!

    Most useful links; I stumbled upon them as soon as I knew what to look for:

    Official:

    Debian:

    CentOS:

    RHEL:

    • An enhanced interactive Python shell.
    • A decoupled two-process communication model, which allows for multiple clients to connect to a computation kernel, most notably the web-based notebook
    • An architecture for interactive parallel computing.

  3. "Lisp has been criticised for giving individuals so much leverage that little social interaction ensues."

  4. A complete introduction to programming for digital musicians and artists, in the real-time multimedia language ChucK. Rich with practical examples and pointers to additional web resources, it can be understood by novices wishing to learn to program interactive arts systems.

  5. HTM5 interactive player that can be embedded in any web application to provide fancy waveforms, various analyzer results, synced time metadata display during playback (time-marking) and remote indexing.

    Dafuq happened to my browser? Now it's all psychedelic!

  7. Gelocity is an awesome set of co-op maps for Portal 2, using the mechanisms of the game (portals, gels, player interaction) to provide neat races!
