<p>One small thing you will run into when rolling with Varnish as backend:</p>
<p>You need to <strong>remove the Cookie CloudFare</strong> adds to your site. Use the following code:</p>
<blockquote>
<p> #Remove the Google Analytics cookies &amp; Cloudfare Cookie (__cfduid)<br />
if (req.http.cookie) {<br />
set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "__(utm|cfdui).=[^;]+(; )?", "");<br />
if (req.http.cookie ~ "^ *$") {<br />
remove req.http.cookie;<br />
}<br />
}</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you don't do this, you will run into cache misses &#8230;</p>

Klar, wir sprechen alle Chinesisch &#8230; nicht!</p>
<p>Jetzt hatte er mich gebeten etwas für ihn daran zu machen. Also musste erst Chinesisch durch z.b. Englisch ersetzt werden.</p>
<p>Leider müsste man in der GUI auch erkennen, welche chinesichen Zeichen denn jetzt dafür stehen, dass man die Sprache konfigurieren kann. Ich habe probeweise ein paar angeklickt, es kamen jedoch immer irgendwelche Dialoge mit noch mehr Chinesisch (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes!).</p>
<p>Nach einer Internetrecherche, dank <a href="http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2007/01/how-to-change-your-default-locale-on.html" target="_blank">dieser Seite </a> die Lösung:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>eine Konsole aufrufen (die erkennt man an dem Konsolen-Icon)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>sudo nano /etc/default/locale</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>ggf. User-passwort eingeben</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>eintragen:</div>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>LANG="en_GB"<br />
LANGUAGE="en_GB:en"</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<div>speichern (Ctrl + O)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>schließen (Ctrl + X)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>System neustarten ( sudo reboot )</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Nach dem Neustart sind wichtige Teile des Systems &#8211; bspw. die Menüleiste ganz oben &#8211; in Englisch. Das sollte es einem ermöglichen auch den Rest umzustellen &#8230; falls notwendig.</p>
<p>Andere Teile, bspw. FireFox bleiben allerdings in Chinesisch, und sind daher verteufelt schwer zu bedienen &#8230; so muss sich ein Analphabet vorkommen!</p>

<p><strong>About Finestra</strong></p>
<p>Finestra is a Virtual Desktop Manager for Windows. Freeware, fast switching, graphical indication to which desktop it switches.</p>
<p>Ability to drag windows to other desktops (using Win + Z to show the preview). Also useful for recovering windows which have been moved to outside your monitor by accident (believe me, it happens. Especially when using different monitor setups on notebooks)</p>

Here's a description of what works for me:</p>
<p>Add <a href="https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/tutorial/purging.html">these code snippets </a> to your Varnish configuration file, reload Varnish:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>/etc/init.d/varnish reload</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This will "install" the PURGE command. Modify the ACL (access control list) as appropriate. Mine is:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>acl purge {<br />
  "localhost";<br />
  "127.0.0.1";<br />
  "<em>varnish server IP</em>";<br />
}</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Where you need to replace the Varnish server IP with the IP of your Varnish server.</p>
<p>Next, (thanks to <a href="http://blog.feryn.eu/2010/11/varnish-cache-purging/">this article</a>!) an easy method from the command line of your Varnish server:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>curl -X PURGE</strong> <a href="http://catfind.it/"><strong>http://catfind.it/</strong></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Replace <a href="http://www.catfind.it/">catfind.it</a> with your URL. The -X tells curl to replace the GET method with the PURGE method. BTW, you could call the PURGE method anything you'd like, ie. CACTUS &#8211; just set up the VCL configuration appropriately.</p>
<p>If you want some other server to be able to purge, you need to add it to your ACL.</p>
<p>You need <strong>curl</strong> to be installed. It's easily done on Debian / Ubuntu via</p>
<blockquote>
<p>apt-get install curl</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(as root).</p>
<p><strong>What about the other methods?</strong></p>
<ul dir="ltr">
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><strong>telnetting</strong> into the server (<em>telnet localhost 80</em>) does not work for me, as it drops the connection before I'm finished with typing. Probably there is a way to set up telnet to transmit a certain string, if you want to, share it with us here.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Purging using the admin CLI of Varnish <strong>NEVER</strong> worked for me. Either Varnish has changed it's interface in newer versions, or I need <strong>some further configuration</strong> to enable it. Again, if you know the ropes, please share your knowledge with us!</p>
<p>varnishadm -T 127.0.0.1:<em>secretport</em> purge req.url == "/"</p>

<p>Zenoss Core is a fabulous, Open Source, network and device monitor. It allows you to collect statistics, track uptime and get alerts for a wide array of devices and applications, i.e. printers, routers, Linux and Windows servers, Varnish cache and many more.</p>
<p>It is important to see the performance of your digital assets, to ensure optimum experience for the users, and be able to react before someone notices the problems on the outside of your organisation.</p>
<p>Mission-critical components, i.e. corporate e-mail servers can be monitored with this solution.</p>
<p><strong>Setting up Zenoss Core on an Ubuntu-VPS under OpenVZ</strong></p>
<p>OpenVZ can be installed in a OpenVZ container. I chose to use the contributed Ubuntu 10.04 minimal template downloaded from <a href="http://ftp.openvz.org/template/precreated/contrib/">OpenVZ.org</a>. It will be a dedicated VE, just for Zenoss Core.</p>
<p>"<em>ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_amd64.tar.gz</em>"</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>10.04 is LTS (long term supported)</div>
</li>
<li>the minimal comes without Apache or other services</li>
</ul>
<p>The installation of the Zenoss stack will fail if your resource limits (particularly memory) are set too low. Here's an excerpt from the configuration file of my VPS:</p>
<blockquote>

<p># CPU fair sheduler parameter<br />
CPUUNITS="1000"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You need to install wget and binutils.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>apt-get install wget binutils</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Then download the newest Zenoss Stack DEB package from <a href="http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-3240">Zenoss</a>. The stack includes webserver, a dedicated MySQL instance and other things for running Zenoss. Choose from the native stacks (DEBIAN/UBUNTU), DEB based. In <em>/tmp</em> :</p>
<blockquote>
<p>wget <a href="http://dev.zenoss.org/deb/dists/main/stable/binary-amd64/zenoss-stack_3.2.1_x64.deb">http://dev.zenoss.org/deb/dists/main/stable/binary-amd64/zenoss-stack_3.2.1_x64.deb</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I used the x64 stack, as we have a 64bit server. </p>
<p>Install the stack using dpkg:</p>
<blockquote>
<p> dpkg -i zenoss-stack_3.2.1_x64.deb</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This will take quite some time! On finish, start Zenoss Core with</p>
<blockquote>
<p>/etc/init.d/zenoss-stack start</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now you are finished with the console part. Fire up your browser, and go to the installation server's IP, port 8080. I.e. <a href="http://www.example.com:8080">http://www.example.com:8080</a>.</p>
<p>Here you will be asked to setup the admin password and a new user for "everyday usage". After creating them, you will be given the opportunity to automatically discover devices and servers, to manually set them up, or to skip to the dashboard. (You can, of course, always add devices and servers later on).</p>
<p>After getting to the dashboard, you can set up a Google Maps API Key. That is pretty self-explanatory, Zenoss Core will help you do it.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p><em>Bild: Die Festplatte mit entferntem zweiten Platter und beschädigtem oberen Lesekopf (in der Hoffnung, dass die Platte diesen dann ignorieren würde, hat sie aber nicht)</em></p>
<p><strong>Was kann passieren wenn man eine Festplatte fallen lässt?</strong></p>
<p>Die Festplatte besteht im Inneren aus sog. Plattern, das sind Scheiben auf denen die Daten gespeichert sind. Lese/Schreibköpfe werden über die Festplatte geschwenkt und können so die Daten von den Plattern nutzen.</p>
<p>Wenn man die Platte fallen lässt, können im schlimmsten Fall die empfindlichen Platter, die manchmal aus einer glasähnlichen Substanz bestehen, kaputtgehen. Wenn man die Festplatte dann leicht schüttelt, scheppert es innendrin. Wenn man sie anmacht, funktioniert sie nicht mehr wie gewöhnlich, sondern macht "komische Geräusche". Kratzen, Klicken, oder auch gar kein Laufgeräusch sind schlimme Zeichen.</p>
<p><a href="http://ideadayblog.ideaday.netdna-cdn.com/max/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/broken-platter.png"><img alt="broken-platter" src="http://ideadayblog.ideaday.netdna-cdn.com/max/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/broken-platter-small.png" width="450" height="135" /></a></p>
<p><em>Bild: einzelne Splitter eines kaputten Platters.</em></p>
<p><strong>Was kann man tun wenn es passiert ist?</strong></p>
<p>Wenn tatsächlich einer der Platter defekt ist, hilft nur noch ein professioneller Recovery-Service, um die Daten in einem Reinraum mit Hilfe spezieller Instrumente auszulesen. Dieser Service kann hunderte von Euros kosten.</p>
<p><strong>Wie kann man so einem Fall vorbeugen?</strong></p>
<p>Zunächst: Backup, Backup, Backup! Ich empfehle die sehr gute Software <a href="http://www.goodsync.com/?affid=idday" target="_blank">GoodSync</a>, die sehr leicht zu benutzen ist. GoodSync kann auch "vergangene Versionen" speichern, d.h. falls man eine Datei zwischen zwei Backups versehentlich ändert, kann man die vorigen Versionen problemlos wiederherstellen.</p>
<p>SSD Festplatten haben DIESE Probleme nicht &#8211; es sind keine empfindlichen mechanischen Teile enthalten, die beim Fallenlassen kaputtgehen könnten. SSDs haben außerdem den Vorteil wesentlich schnellere Zugriffe auf die Daten und schnellere Transferraten zu haben. Es kann gleichzeitig auf Daten die weit auseinander liegen zugegriffen werden, Defragmentierung ist ein Ding der Vergangenheit. Sie haben jedoch auch einen Nachteil: den Preis. Momentan liegt er bis zu zehnmal höher als für klassische Festplatten mit der gleichen Kapazität.</p>
<p>Ich empfehle vor allem für die Systemfestplatte SSD Laufwerke zu nutzen, da das Arbeiten dadurch viel angenehmer wird. Man wartet weniger auf den Computer, die Anwendungen schalten schneller untereinander um, große Dateien werden schneller geöffnet, &#8230;. ich selber nutze eine <strong>Vertex 2 von OCZ Technologies</strong> in meinem Notebook mit 240 GB Speicherkapazität und bin sehr zufrieden.</p>
<p>Man muss auf jeden Fall beide Möglichkeiten kombinieren: Backups sind das A und O. Im Fall des Falles &#8211; und es kann sehr viel passieren &#8211; kann man die Daten ohne Probleme wiederherstellen, und damit weiterarbeiten. Im anderen Fall kann es sehr teuer werden.</p>
<p><strong>Ein Ansprechpartner für alle Fälle &#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>Eine befreundete Firma, <a href="http://www.pc-kult.de/start.php" target="_blank">PC Kult</a>, berät bei Backup-Lösungen und Daten-Wiederherstellung. Mit fairen Preisen und freundlichen Mitarbeitern ist sie der ideale Ansprechpartner bei allen Fragen rund um PC, Mac und SmartPhones.</p>

I did not particularly like it anyway, because it is so heavy-weight.</p>
<p>Earlier on, I had tried to get the Zimbra Calendar working with Sunbird, and it did not work. Today I tried again with Thunderbird and the Lightning extension.</p>
<p><strong>It works :-)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>Install Thunderbird and Lightning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Add a new Calendar (Network, iCalendar / ICS)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>use as location: <a href="https://(Server)/zimbra/home/(username)/(Name_of_Calendar)?fmt=ics">https://(Server)/zimbra/home/(username)/(Name_of_Calendar)?fmt=ics</a><br />
(not literally of course. Use your full e-mail adress as username, replace your Server. Probably the name of your Calendar is <strong>Calendar</strong>)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Accept the certificate if needed</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Enter your username and password</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>That's it. It works. Read and write.</p>
<p>(If you omit zimbra and ?fmt=ics from the location above, it will be read-only!)</p>
<p>Based on this <a href="http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/CalDav_and_SunBird" target="_blank">Wiki entry</a>.</p>
<p>Now my only wish is to dispose of an external Calendar altogether and have it in Opera. Guys, why is it so hard to integrate?</p>

<p>Here are some tips and infos for you to get started with them:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div><strong>Important!</strong> There's an issue called DNS leakage. This may also hamper your performance. Your local ISPs DNS server are used in order to resolve Domain names. There is a free tool (<strong>NetSetMan</strong>) to change them. I recommend using <a href="http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/" target="_blank">Google's Public DNS service</a>, you will also benefit from higher speeds after that.<br />
<a href="https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy" target="_blank">Use this tool to test for DNS leakage</a>. Look for the name of your provider, or any IP adress in the country you're in.<br />
PureVPN describes how you can set up the tool.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>If you do not receive the login data within 24 hours of your order &#8211; as happened with me &#8211; you should <strong>contact their customer service</strong>. They have a live chat facility which can help you. The issue with me was a "high-risk transaction" &#8211; probably because I paid via PayPal. I had to send an e-Mail from a non-free mail adress to them to get it activated &#8211; they will explain the steps you need to take, once you have contacted the customer service.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div><strong>Hulu works.</strong> But not with all servers. If they block the IP ("you are using a Proxy server") try using a different server &#8211; you've got a broad choice with <a href="http://billing.purevpn.com/aff.php?aff=574" target="_blank">PureVPN</a>.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div><strong>Sometimes the connection drops</strong>. I have set up their connection using the Windows 7 built-in facilities, and now with their dialer. I find that the dialer is a bit more unstable for the SSTP protocol, but the PPTP protocol seems to work fine.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>The dialer is useful for easier connection variation (you might want to watch iPlayer for BBC and other channels, too.)</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>I have not been able to set up a VPN connection to <a href="http://billing.purevpn.com/aff.php?aff=574" target="_blank">PureVPN</a> in a Ubuntu (10.04 LTS 32bit) virtual machine, I tried different configurations and servers. I also tried the official configuration example, no luck.</div>
