I'm sorry about that, but they are back up. While getting them back up I got some invaluable information from our host that should help mitigate these issues in the future. In the future, if you are ever wondering if the lists are down.... DO NOT SEND TEST EMAILS TO THE LIST(S)!!! Send me an email directly, carbonnb at gmail.com. I will give you an answer as soon as I can. All the test emails cause me a LOT of extra work and cause extra delays in getting the lists back up. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at gmail.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!" From accessd at shaw.ca Thu Feb 23 15:05:24 2017 From: accessd at shaw.ca (Jim Lawrence) Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2017 14:05:24 -0700 (MST) Subject: [dba-Tech] Some assembly required In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1485374635.27194082.1487883924393.JavaMail.zimbra@shaw.ca> Here is a new Linux version, called NixOS, that will allow a developer to assemble desktop and server systems, from a single location, then broadcast the assemblies across the network and/or internet and then test the new system in various locations for functionality and required features. If the builds are not correctly created, it is just as easy to roll-back the assemblies. This process could be very useful for rolling out locked-down custom designed systems holding all the features and applications required. Here is a link to the Linux distro: http://nixos.org/ Here is a basic overview: http://nixos.org/nix/about.html Some samples: http://nixos.org/nixos/about.html A broad research paper on the concepts of what this version of Linux is attempting to apply: https://medium.com/@bmpvieira/a-truly-reproducible-scientific-paper-5059b282ee9a#.2imqnpjtp http://bit.ly/2l4DhBy In the unlikely event that an assembled distribution goes side-ways, here is a sample of code that can recover a system in a lock condition: http://blog.arkency.com/2016/11/recovering-unbootable-nixos-instance-using-hetzner-rescue-mode/?utm_content=bufferc33d5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer http://bit.ly/2mcxM8G I have just started playing with this new version but currently have insufficient experience to recommend it one way or the other. I have sent an email to a serious developer and hope to have some insights and hands-on experience into NixOS use and deployment. If you are thinking of testing this out, you can grab a prebuilt NixOS container. There is many sites explaining how to built a NixOS instance and even Bash scripts, to automate the process: https://nixos.org/wiki/NixOS:Containers (Hope to be able to deploy an installation via KLM/Docker/LXD within a few federated Container instances...should be great fun.)
