Database versus files for Images at Spindrop
by Xavier Lacot
Dave gives his feedback on a long-debated developement topic : storing files in database or on the filesystem.
"I had been serving images via the database. Immediately when I switched to the filesystem I saw a huge benefit. Not just a drop in database connections, but overall “zippiness” in the site.
We’ll see how well this performs in the real world, but I am quite sure that I learned my lesson."
All this makes sense : files are not data, they are just files. A filesystem is designed for hosting files. A database is designed for hosting data. Don't mess things.

Linux.com :: Parallel SSH execution and a single shell to control them all
by camel

Many people use SSH to log in to remote machines, copy files around, and perform general system administration. If you want to increase your productivity with SSH, you can try a tool that lets you run commands on more than one remote machine at the same time. Parallel ssh, Cluster SSH, and ClusterIt let you specify commands in a single terminal window and send them to a collection of remote machines where they can be executed.
Why you would need a utility like this when, using openSSH, you can create a file containing your commands and use a bash for loop to run it on a list of remote hosts, one at a time? One advantage of a parallel SSH utility is that commands can be run on several hosts at the same time. For a short-running task this might not matter much, but if a task needs an hour to complete and you need to run it on 20 hosts, parallel execution beats serial by a mile. Also, if you want to interactively edit the same file on multiple machines, it might be quicker to use a parallel SSH utility and edit the file on all nodes with vi rather than concoct a script to do the same edit.
Many of these parallel SSH tools include support for copying to many hosts at once (a parallel version of scp) or using rsync on a collection of hosts at once. Because the parallel SSH implementations know about all the hosts in a group, some of them also offer the ability to execute a command "on one host" and will work out which host to pick using load balancing. Finally, some parallel SSH projects let you use barriers so that you can execute a collection of commands and explicitly have each node in the group wait until all the nodes have completed a stage before moving on to the next stage of processing.

Howto: ISP-style Email Server with Debian-Etch and Postfix 2.3
by camel
(via)
The configuration described here is not very complicated but still needs to be done carefully. You are expected to have at least basic knowledge of:
* MySQL (creating a database, granting access to users, basic SQL queries)
* SMTP (what it is and what a basic SMTP dialog looks like)
* POP3, IMAP (what they do and what the differences are)
* basic Postfix configuration (understand the default settings in your main.cf, have read through the basic configuration document and know that your mail log file is at /var/log/mail.log)
* Debian/Linux (general system administration, using a text editor, reading log files)
Box Backup - Trac
by camel
Box Backup is an open source, completely automatic, on-line backup system. It has the following key features:
* All backed up data is stored on the server in files on a filesystem - no tape, archive or other special devices are required.
* The server is trusted only to make files available when they are required - all data is encrypted and can be decoded only by the original client. This makes it ideal for backing up over an untrusted network (such as the Internet), or where the server is in an uncontrolled environment.
* A backup daemon runs on systems to be backed up, and copies encrypted data to the server when it notices changes - so backups are continuous and up-to-date (although traditional snapshot backups are possible too).
* Only changes within files are sent to the server, just like rsync, minimising the bandwidth used between clients and server. This makes it particularly suitable for backing up between distant locations, or over the Internet.
* It behaves like tape - old file versions and deleted files are available.
* Old versions of files on the server are stored as changes from the current version, minimising the storage space required on the server. Files are the server are also compressed to minimise their size.
* Choice of backup behaviour - it can be optimised for document or server backup.
* It is designed to be easy and cheap to run a server. It has a portable implementation, and optional RAID implemented in userland for reliability without complex server setup or expensive hardware.

XtraFile » XtraUpload v2
by camel
& 2 others
Written in PHP using the CodeIgniter Framework, XtraUpload has all the features you would expect from a file Hosting Script. Free users as well as premium users have the ability to upload files but premium users get a lot more features such as viewing files, instantly downloading files and getting the URL’s of the files they have uploaded. You can also specify the file types, sizes along with many other options. Each user must provide a valid email address when they sign up for premium as the script automatically sends the username and password to them upon reception of payment through PayPal IPN. File Hosting websites brings in large revenues and is a very easy system to setup thanks to XtraUpload.
addSizes.js - Automatically add the File Size of a Document next to the Link
by damdec
addSizes.js - a little script that automatically adds file size after the link, like ‘pdf link (pdf 2.8 MB) and an ‘mp3 file link (mp3 4.9 MB)’. To use this script in your site, simply include jQuery and then the addSizes script itself will do the rest of the magic.

Throttling qmail SMTP receive bandwidth | www.enchantedage.com
by camel
I wrote the program "throttle.c," which you can insert into the tcpserver chain of commands for a qmail smtpd server. It takes one argument: the number of kilobytes per second to let through on the incoming file descriptor. Throttle does not throttle the outgoing file descriptor, because that's usually just status from your mail server.
Additionally, throttle will set an alarm, so that any session longer than 15 minutes will expire and disconnect. This affords some amount of protection against lingering sessions that eat up your parallelism limit; I've seen such sessions from presumably trojaned DSL machines connecting to the mail server to send spam.
Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File Recovery - Home

Recuva est un petit utilitaire gratuit, pour Windows, qui vous permet de récupérer des données sur votre disque dur après les avoir malencontreusement supprimées. Cela concerne aussi bien les fichiers ayant transités par votre corbeille, que ceux ayant étés effacés par erreur de votre lecteur MP3 ou d’une carte mémoire. Mieux, il permet de retrouver des fichiers ayant étés écrasés par un virus, un bug quelconque, …
Et l’outil promet d’être plutôt stable et fiable puisqu’il nous est proposé par Piriform, déjà connu pour travailler aussi sur le fameux CCleaner. L’interface est très simple à comprendre, vous allez pouvoir visionner des aperçu des fichiers retrouvés ( pratique pour les images ), …
Recuva peut donc aussi être utilisé pour définitivement effacer certains fichiers car comme vous le savez, un fichier supprimé via la corbeille ou manuellement reste accessible malgré tout sur le disque dur.
