Everything is a Freaking DNS problem

Hmm.. need to find one to go here

besides a community ?

Some people think that apart from a community and users you also need an infrastructure to support these users.

Murray ignited the discussion by pointing us to the fact that PostgreSQL doesn't have a bugzilla to report an track issues.

Different projects have different approaches. Both the kernel, Drupal and MySQL have build their own infrastructure. Others choose Sourceforge for their projects.

What's your approach ?

Seems like Pavel is having similar experiences as I do :)

Yep the touchpad indeed has 2 buttons. left and right .

As noted .. liferea might be interesting so now I`m experimenting with Tiny Tiny RSS to see if that can replace my.

I`m also thinking about buying an additional battery pack, and wondering if I actually need more than the onboard storage.. afteral plenty of USB sticks.

Next step is actually using it on the road ...

Florian is replying to James on the subject of using DRBD for MySQL HA. A discussion started earlier by Eric Florian is refuting most of the arguments that James has against using MySQL and DRBD together.

I`m also saying NO to MySQL and DRBD in most of the cases.. but not for any of the reasons James mentions.

I must say upfront I love DRBD and I have been using it in production for a long time but not for MySQL HA.

The problem with using MySQL on DRBD is the same problem you have when killing the power on a standalone MySQL machine and rebooting that machine.
DRBD saves you the time of powering up your machine and OS. But MySQL still needs to be started again on the standby machine. (In limited cases you might have a lengthy startup process due to eg. Innodb consitency checks) But for lots of organisations this (even limited) downtime is not acceptable.

Both MySQL Cluster and MultiMaster replication give you constant access to your data on more nodes .

For lots of shops, those not needing to scale, those that can live with a limited downtime, DRBD and MySQL is a good match,

But if you want to achieve real high availability as compared to less downtime. or if you are looking to scale your MySQL and want to benefit from HA while you are at it , then MultiMaster is probably the preferred alternative as opposed to DRBD.

In the meanwhile I`ll be happy serving other data from my DRBD volumes ;)

Bart just pointed to MobileWebCamp , wondering how I could have missed it :(

Dear Lazyweb,

I've been looking in all the wrong places for a Liferea package that fits nicely on my fresh ASUS EEE, with it's default Xandros and lots of external repositories enabled.
Yes I could install another distro , but I want to play with this one for a while.. then have some arguments to actually migrate .
Got some pointers for me ?

First post from my fresh EEE , I transferred my .mozilla .gaim and .skype directories from my laptop and I was up and running in less than 5 minutes ;_)

Totally forgot to blog about this, or I can't find my own post back.

A couple of weeks ago I was chatting with Tom about MythTV and MPEG bitrates, and I modified mine from my lazy chair.

A week passed by and I realized that I couldn't replay any of the recordings I had made :(

It seemed that while I had changed the bitrate I also accidently had changed
my default recording profile from MPEG-2 PS, to MPEG-2 TS.

Upon realizing that I changed the value back and I had recordings again :)

The Remus paper I blogged about earlier seems to have won the Best Paper Award at NSDI. Good to hear .. err read ! :)

With Qlusters being "removed" from the Little 4 list I think there is room for a new 4th contender.
My vote is on either Reductive Labs or Zabbix.

Where is your vote ?
