These are my quick notes on how I compiled and built an RPM package out of S3FS for CentOS 7.
cd /tmp
curl -LO https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/archive/v1.82.tar.gz
tar -xzf v1.82.tar.gz
cd s3fs-fuse-1.82 …JFS is a journaling file system originally developed by IBM. It's considered to be mature and stable but it's not commonly found on Linux servers. I was curious to see what it would take to install it and later benchmark it. I'll cover the installation here and will do a …
I'm very fond of Packet.net, but when I tried to use my previous procedure to upgrade the kernel there, I run into some unexpected bumps with the grub2 tools missing which really threw me off. Of course, this isn't a problem specific to Packet.net but it's the first …
I'm trying to teach myself more Mongo, so here's my quick notes on how I installed it, configured it and run a benchmark using YSCB (Yahoo! Cloud System Benchmark).

In my last post I demonstrated compiling Ruby from source and building an RPM for it using FPM.
This works great and it's a major timesaver, but FPM allows you to take this one step further and even build RPMs out of Ruby Gems.
Here's how I did it:
These are my notes on how I used FPM to build an RPM for Ruby 2.4.1.

Sometimes you just need an encrypted tunnel. There's lots of options - You can use SSH ... or you can use cryptcat. Or you can use socat. The problem is that those will only work per application (per port) - For example, you can set up an SSH tunnel and then MySQL can …
I always thought that unlike compression tools, tar could not use multiple cores.
It turns out somebody went out and modified tar to do just that -- and it was 4 years ago too! It's called mtar.
Not only does mtar uses pigz instead of gzip, but it also implemented multi …
While it looks like that lots of people are moving towards using Docker, sometimes having a complete lightweight virtual machine can be just as useful - Docker is meant to be a per process virtualizer. Although it can be used as a virtual machine, it's discouraged.
