Occasionally, it becomes necessary to update a web page. Especially one that has existed since the late 1990's.

As a result, all the content here is being reworked.

None of the changes taking place will have an effect on any existing BeakFirst.com user accounts.

Tutorial: Build a highly available application with Blob storage - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-create-geo-redundant-storage?tabs=dotnet This tutorial is part one of a series. In it, you learn how to make your application data highly available in Azure.

Linux FU: Globs vs Regexp - https://hackaday.com/2021/10/07/linux-fu-globs-vs-regexp/ I once asked a software developer at work how many times we called fork() in our code. I’ll admit, it was a very large project, but I expected the answer to be — at most — two digits. The developer came back and read off some number from a piece of paper that was in the millions. I told them there was no way we had millions of calls to fork() and, of course, we didn’t. The problem was the developer wasn’t clear on the difference between a regular expression and a glob.

Use geo-redundancy to design highly available applications - A common feature of cloud-based infrastructures like Azure Storage is that they provide a highly available and durable platform for hosting data and applications. Developers of cloud-based applications must consider carefully how to leverage this platform to maximize those advantages for their users. Azure Storage offers geo-redundant storage to ensure high availability even in the event of a regional outage. Storage accounts configured for geo-redundant replication are synchronously replicated in the primary region, and then asynchronously replicated to a secondary region that is hundreds of miles away.

Azure Storage account failover - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-initiate-account-failover?tabs=azure-portal If the primary endpoint for your geo-redundant storage account becomes unavailable for any reason, you can initiate an account failover. An account failover updates the secondary endpoint to become the primary endpoint for your storage account. Once the failover is complete, clients can begin writing to the new primary region. Forced failover enables you to maintain high availability for your applications.

Recommended abbreviations for Azure resource types - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-best-practices/resource-abbreviations Azure workloads are typically composed of multiple resources and services. Including a naming component in your resource names that represents the type of the Azure resource makes it easier to visually recognize application or service components.

Chef's two pass model - https://coderanger.net/two-pass/ A common source of bugs in Chef code for new and experienced users alike is Chef’s two-pass (or two-phase) execution model. I would like to provide a quick overview of this system and how it can impact your code.

One Way Trust - MIT KDC to Active Directory - https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Community-Articles/One-Way-Trust-MIT-KDC-to-Active-Directory/ta-p/247638 From cloudera for HDP, and HDF

Terraform Registry - https://registry.terraform.io/ Discover Terraform providers that power all of Terraform’s resource types, or find modules for quickly deploying common infrastructure configurations.

Terraform: References to Named Values - https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/expressions/references.html Terraform makes several kinds of named values available. Each of these names is an expression that references the associated value; you can use them as standalone expressions, or combine them with other expressions to compute new values.

Script to find the long running hadoop jobs - https://www.hadoopandcloud.com/hadoop/script-to-find-the-long-running-hadoop-jobs/ Being a hadoop admin, one of your roles are to track long running hadoop jobs and take appropriate action on it. If it’s a small cluster and only 4 or 5 jobs are running most of the time, then you can monitor it in the resource manager UI. But if the cluster is huge and 100+ jobs are running, you can’t manually check the run time of each job to figure the long running one as it’s counter productive. Also when you have multiple clusters, checking the long running jobs become more tedious one.

One Man's Journey to Become His Own ISP - https://hackaday.com/2018/09/20/one-mans-journey-to-become-his-own-isp/ America is a BIG country. There are pockets all across the land where broadband Internet is slow-to-nonexistent, and many individuals are left with wireless cell service as their only means of internet connection. This is the situation [Brandt Kuykendall] found himself in upon moving his family to Dillon Beach, CA. So he started up his own fiber ISP.

Simple log file processing in Python - https://codehangar.io/smiple-log-and-file-processing-in-python/ The other day I found myself in the unfortunate position of needing to scan through raw server logs to try and gather some information around a rare issue. Opening these log files in a text editor and doing a quick text search wasn't a great option: the log files had millions of log lines, were 500MB+ in size, and the text editors just gave up trying to search, multi-select, and extract the lines I needed.

Hotkey Commander - Ultimate Hotkey Managing and Overriding Utility - http://hkcmdr.anymania.com/ Hotkey Commander (Abbreviation HC) is a powerful hotkey managing and overriding tool for Windows®. If you are a frequent hotkey user, you may found that while hotkeys bring much convenience and advantages, they act rudely and annoyingly sometimes. Hotkeys are usually defined or registered by individual applications. Some moral applications would allow users to redefine their hotkey combination so that they don't conflict with other hotkeys. Some "evil" applications won't at all. No matter what more and more hotkeys may become chaos and make you confused at last. Even if you don't use hotkeys at all, you may want to disable or override hotkeys occasionally so as not to be interrputed by their default actions. Imagine when you are shooting bullets with your enemies in some game and unfortunately hit the <Win> key accidently and then being forced to the Windows desktop. Well, by Hotkey Commander you can easily explore and manage all the hotkeys in your system. With a lot of great features including:

New Mail Notification for an Additional Mailbox - http://techniclee.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/new-mail-notification-for-an-additional-mailbox/ This morning I responded to a tweet from Tom Blackman (@itimlalake) asking how to set up a new mail notification for an additional mailbox in Outlook 2007. An additional mailbox in this context is a second mailbox on an Exchange server. Unfortunately, until 2010 Outlook did not support multiple mailboxes. While you could open and view additional mailboxes Outlook did not treat them as it does the primary mailbox. As a result things like new message notification and rules aren’t available for the additional mailboxes. Fortunately, there is a workaround.

Out of memory while mounting windows CIFS in linux - http://thelinuxexperiment.com/guinea-pigs/jake-b/fix-for-mount-error12-cannot-allocate-memory/ Prior to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 we had to keep a large page file on the system drive (typically drive C:) in order to properly capture system memory dumps for troubleshooting. This presented problems as systems with very large amounts of RAM became more common, resulting in requirements for very large amounts of free space on the C: drive, or requiring that system visible memory be artificially limited for troubleshooting purposes. This is no longer a requirement thanks to the Dedicated Dump File feature, which is available for use in Windows Vista and later operating systems."
