So you have a cpanel/WHM web server, you have it set to back up all of its accounts. Thats either costing you a lot of FTP bandwidth to send to a remote server, or you are being less than resiliant by only backing up to a local disk. Perhaps you have remote rsync SSH backup already, but havent really thought of the implications of running a SSH/rsync ‘push’ system. This howto is your solution. This howto is not just relevant for Cpanel/WHM servers and you can adapt it to any kind of Linux backups you make.
I recently had some interest from a prospective employer who were looking for someone with JBoss and Tomcat experience. Having had extensive use of these systems in my previous role, I figured I would write a quick howto to get people up and running with JBoss in a short time period. Jboss AS (application server) is an open source Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) based application server, similar to Goldfish. As it is Java based, it runs on multiple platforms and architectures. Jboss features clustering, fail over, load balancing, distributed deployment, deployment API, management API and much more so its a very versatile platform for serving up your applications.

Can it be done?
The simple answer – yes it can! Today I achieved a ~60% reduction in virgin media costs by removing just the Movies, Sports and altering my phone line package. My original bill was around £127 per month which included the following services: Read & Comment ›››
After years of running and supporting java applications, I have begun a journey into Java programming. My first program has produced some interesting fruit. Using some net-svengali magickery I will attempt to find your location without asking you for ANY details whatsoever. None of the usual “hello world” first program malarkey here! Just for the record, this does not use IP Geolocation initially – hence the accuracy in the cases that it works (normally ‘right on the doorstep’). If it fails to find a near exact fix for you, it will now try IP Geolocation (usually reported back as ‘a few miles away’).
It seems hard to find information in one place that gives an overview of the different free satellite TV options available in the UK, so here is our guide entitled ‘choices between freesat receivers, skytv, digiboxes or digital TV tuner card’ to try to give you an overview of the options available and their initial costs. We try to cover all the options open to you for UK digital TV reception from the main group of satellites serving English language programming. The guide is aimed at the UK marketplace, although many free to air channels can be received across most of Europe with the correct hardware (normally just a larger dish).
The problem
Recently I had to recover a lost MySQL root password from a system I dont very often use. Somewhere in the mists of time I must have forgotten it.
The problem
Many a time I have re-installed my system from scratch or created a new system, but get sick of continually installing the same packages over and over. Its annoying when 2 or 3 months down the line you want to use a program you used to have (or have on another system) only to find its not yet installed. Sure, an apt-get install only takes a few minutes for a single piece of software, but that’s a few minutes a geek like me could better spend doing something productive.
What is swap?
Even if you encrypt data on your partitions, something that is often overlooked is your swap partition. Swap is where linux ’swaps’ programs (and their stored data) from physical system memory onto the hard disk when they are not used. When those programs become used again, the system ’swaps’ them back into memory. This approach can allow you to run more programs than you have RAM for, at the cost of delay – for example when programs are swapped back into RAM from disk.
