Good to have a confirmation on this. Atomic is indeed powerful.

Re: Proxmox VE versus VMWare ESXi

James Mills — Wed, 01 May 2013 01:33:09 -0000

PS: This is Proxmox 2.x which has many improvements over older releases in terms of management and reports.

Re: Proxmox VE versus VMWare ESXi

James Mills — Wed, 01 May 2013 01:32:07 -0000

I'm currently using Proxmox in development on my development workstation and works quite well there. I'm also in the process of migrating my server infrastructure (in production) over to Proxmox with OpenVZ containers managed by Ansible. I find Proxmox VE quite usable, easy to use and contains all the features I would want in a virtual environment. It's a pretty good product as it is right now. --JamesMills / prologic

Re: 4.2.2.2: The Story Behind a DNS Legend

Sean Reifschneider — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:13:34 -0000

Because, particularly if you don't have DNS working, ping will often do DNS lookups on the destination and so it may take 30+ seconds for the first ping results to be printed, making it look like ping isn't working when actually it is DNS that is failing and ping is working. An unfortunate default, doing DNS lookups on the destination. As far as disabling it under Windows XP, I just don't know. Try running "ping /?" and see if it lists the command-line options... I don't have an XP system to try it on...

> do is to ping an IP address (with DNS disabled), a "ping -n 4.2.2.2"

Why would I have to ping an IP number... with DNS disabled, instead of enabled? If I'm pinging a *NUMBER* what difference does DNS make?

And... how do I disable DNS under Windows XP?

Thanks

Re: Configuring VLANs Under Fedora/RHEL/CentOS.

Sean Reifschneider — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:05:06 -0000

VLANs are a protocol that requires support on both ends of the link to work. So, yes, you can create VLAN tagged packets on your computer, but if you send them to a switch that doesn't have VLAN support it's not likely to do anything useful. Usually, you would create a VLAN interface on the CentOS server because you are connecting it to a switch on a port that has VLANing enabled and you want to simulate connections to multiple networks on that one connection. So I'm not coming up with a use case for you using VLANs on an interface connected to a switch that doesn't support it.

Re: Configuring VLANs Under Fedora/RHEL/CentOS.

MO JO Ham — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 06:01:45 -0000

Is it possible that you create a VLAN on the Centos Server it self if you have a NIC that supports VLANs? I don't have a switch with Vlan support so I wanted to know if this is possible?

thanks

For Now, the 2.2 version make it awesome!!

For me, just some improvements are needed in the 'reports' area.

Re: Workaround for SSH and GPG agents under Ubuntu 10.10 with XFCE

Sean Reifschneider — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:02:25 -0000

I found that the gnome-keyring is started as part of the "Launch GNOME services on startup" under the "Advanced" tab in "Session and Startup" setting in XFCE. Uncheck this, and the ability to use "ssh-add -c" t confirm uses of keys started working for me.

The command name and the project name don't have to match, for example there's a long history of projects having a name and then having an abbreviated command, like "bazarr" and "bzr", "subversion" and "svn"... Mostly in the VCS arena -- Linux made a bit of a faux pas by naming "git" with a three letter name. :-) I like the name "acrylic", for the record.

In english acryl would be fine. It does sound a bit... unfinished, like something was dropped, but that's alright, the feeling would disappear quickly. I created an issue and see what others come up with: https://github.com/posativ/acr...

Re: A Quick Review of Python Static Site Generators

Martin — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:23:07 -0000

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll see that for the 1.0 release, I find a proper name. Though `acr` is nice and short, it feels not right as a project name.

Does `acryl` sounds uncomfortable in the english language as well?

Re: Git cheat-sheet

Jesse Griffin — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:05:21 -0000

I find I use `git reset --hard HEAD` fairly frequently too. This drops your local changes and reverts your repo back to HEAD. This is helpful if you just want to get back to a known place within the tree from which you can do a `git pull`, or perhaps start over on the changes you were making. Also, there is a great interactive tutorial on branching in git, located at http://pcottle.github.com/lear....

Matt Wilkie — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:09:36 -0000

+1 for `acr`. If that's too obscure (not a word and and not an acronym) another option might be `acrylic`, or just `acron`, `acra`...http://www.morewords.com/starts-with/...

FYI: Martin has reported on IRC that, to address the "static" pages, you can put them in "assets" and it will still do templating on them. That should address what I was speaking about for static content. As far as the unicode issue, he's been working on it, I was able to reproduce it on both my laptop on 12.10, and a test machine on 12.04, and got him access to the 12.04 system to work on it.

Re: A Quick Review of Python Static Site Generators

Sean Reifschneider — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:44:14 -0000

Thanks for the reply. I've reproduced the bug and provided details in https://github.com/posativ/acr...

Perhaps this is just a problem with not having a particular package installed or something, but I'm not Unicode-savvy enough to know what that might be. I would expect the unicode related libraries to be available as part of the base python install, but maybe there is something that is needed above that?

The article and marketing pages, and some of the presentation pages (the non-blog pages) are all using the templating to give them a consistent look and feel. So they lose a lot if I just drop them into the assets directory.

Roberto Alsina — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 19:17:19 -0000

Indeed it can, and all the merit is doit's.

It can do automatic (option "auto", via inotify monitors), parallel (like make -j), incremental builds.

Re: A Quick Review of Python Static Site Generators

Martin — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 19:11:37 -0000

If I remember correctly -- due doit -- Nikola is even able to do parallel builds, something that's maybe impossible for Acrylamid due the flexibel view and filter configuration.

Re: A Quick Review of Python Static Site Generators

Martin — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:19:21 -0000

Developer here.

- A unicode decode error within the default theme is definitely a bug, could you please give more information about your setup. I know several asian blogs that use my engine and they did not have unicode decode errors.

- Acrylamid has the `autocompile` or in short `aco` feature, that is able to detect removal of URLs (it simply does not wipe the output directory, but only updates the affected files).

- regarding your articles and presentation (if independend from the actual blog) are simply static files, aren't they? Hence you can move them to the asset directory and Acrylamid will retain the directory structure. You can even inherit from your theme files if you wish so. There's indeed a page view from earlier time when there was no support for assets. Maybe I can remove this view now.

I'll write down your `acr` suggestion, maybe there's hope for a renaming ...

Good to know that.

Re: A Quick Review of Python Static Site Generators

Peter — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 07:14:09 -0000

Thank you for taking the time, a very concise and illuminating review, much appreciated.

FYI, I'm not the developer so I can't help with the reported issues, but should you be interested in pursuing these I'm sure you've seen the various options available (GitHub, Librelist, IRC).

Take care !

Nikola does incremental builds. My site would be inmanageable otherwise (over 1200 posts)

Re: A Quick Review of Python Static Site Generators

Sean Reifschneider — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:23:13 -0000

I've done a bit of a look at Acrylamid, and here are my impressions. It looks like it has a lot of features and is actively developed. I particularly like that it includes the generation of a sitemap. Build times are fast, about twice as fast as Mynt for both full and incremental rebuilds.

Mynt has a neat feature called "watch" where it will watch your directories and when a file changes it will immediately start a rebuild of the changed files, so the perfection is probably that Mynt is faster for making many changes and testing them. The incremental rebuild doesn't understand removal of URLs, so I'd probably do a rebuild regularly.

The "View" feature is neat, you get a "route map" where you can define your URLs, but unlike Mynt it doesn't have a way of just having a bunch of pages, so you'd probably need to define your non-blog pages each as their own view, if you want a structure to them. You can do static pages, but it looks like only at one level.

I wasn't very impressed that the default install was failing to build due to Unicode errors, and it wasn't telling me the file that had the Unicode in it. I was just getting a generic Unicode to ASCII decoding error. The name also is very uncomfortable, if the author wanted something that had a name unique in 3 characters, why not just call it "acr" or "zib" or something?

In short, I like the look of it, but would need to figure out how I would handle our articles and presentations (managing views for each of them would be painful (I have around 700 pages that fit into that category).
