Seafile with Raspberry PI: self-hosted and open source file&sync solution
As files in your devices increase, a common limitation is having a cloud storage to get your files securely stored and available for your access and collaboration. Common storage services (like Google Drive or One Drive) give you few space compared with modern needs and require a fee for bigger GigaBytes. Seafile with Raspberry PI can give a cheap solution with cross device clients
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to install and configure Seafile with Raspberry PI by using Docker, which makes far simpler the installation procedure.

Install Velociraptor on Linux
Similar to GRR, Velociraptor also allows for hunting across many thousands of machines.

Jamie McClelland | LVM Cache Surprises
By far the biggest LVM Cache surprise is just how well it works.
Between 2010 and 2020, my single, biggest and most consistent headache managing servers at May First has been disk i/o. We run a number of physical hosts with encrypted disks, with each providing a dozen or so sundry KVM guests. And they consume a lot of disk i/o.
This problem kept me awake at night and made me want to put my head on the table and cry during the day as I monitored the output of vmstat 1 and watched each disk i/o death spiral unfold.
We tried everything. Turned off fsck’s, turned off RAID monthly checks. Switched to less intensive backup systems. Added solid state drives and tried to stragically distribute them to our database partitions and other read/write heavy services. Added tmpfs file systems where it was possible.
But, the sad truth was: we simply did not have the resources to pay for the infrastructure that could support the disk i/o our services demanded.
Then, we discovered LVM caching (cue Hallelujah). We starting provisioning SSD partitions to back up our busiest spinning disk logical volumes and presto. Ten years of agony gone like a poof of smoke!
I don’t know which individuals are responsible for writing the LVM caching code but if you see this: THANK YOU! Your contributions to the world are noticed, appreciated and have had an enormous impact on at least one individual.

Drop Schema Postgres
In this article, we will be discussing the deletion of schema from our database. Database Schemas are a group of objects of databases that hold almost every element that the database should have, like triggers, functions, tables, and predefined procedures. In PostgreSQL, only the owner or superuser may remove a schema. There are several checkpoints that we have to go through when we delete a schema; these checks will be discussed further in this article.

Copy Table From One Database to Another Postgres
Data in the PostgreSQL database management system is stored in the form of tables. Each table is created in the database. The record inside the database in the form of tables can be moved from one database to another and in the same database as well. This guide will cover some methodology of creating a new database and then copying the relation in one database to the new one.
To start the steps, open the PostgreSQL shell. It will demand the database name, username, and password for the verification. The password is a mandatory field to proceed further. After that, you are connected to the database created already.
