It is far too long between useful posts here. Well, posts at all really. I am going to try getting things moving once more on the front lines of getting my projects done.
Things in the pending queue one can expect data on:
- The ipv6 modules case latency on my desktop… wtf!
- Media system build ~ 1.6 GHz laptop hardware in a non-laptop configuration
- Site rewrite for my family geared site
- Firewall build (yes another one, some one stole my last bit-barrier build)
Now lets see if I can get these done and put up some real data on them….

Well, the replacement parts for the stolen server are in and up and running. photon ][ (or 2) is born.
The replacement parts are combined to make up the first server I have built for myself from all new parts. Well, almost all new. The hard drive ousing the OS is a use component. The list of gear breaks down as follows:
- Asus P5Q SE2 Motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7400
- 4 GB OCZ Gold Series PC8500 RAM
- 2 x Seagate 1.5 TB hard drives
- Athena Power 4u chassis
One difference in the actual parts and what is linked above is the rack mount chassis. The one I got came with a 600 watt PSU comapred to the 550 watt unit in the link.
The gear is up and running. If you are into that kind of data stand by a few more days for this weekend and I will get some load data posted. The load was done in a hurry so I could get out the door for some work related travel.
I will go ahead and let you know the obvious, of course it is much faster and powerful than the original IBM x330 1u server. Now to work out a more permanent solution for firewall duties.

I have recently lost both bit-barrier (my firewall) and photon (my server) along with a lot of other gear. While traveling for work some one pried my front door open with a crowbar and took it all. Also in the list of items taken is my 19 inch LCD, WRT-54G v2.2, cable modem, keyboard and mouse and Nintendo DS. Of all the things I think I will miss the keyboard the most as it was my first personal keyboard and is no longer made. It served me well for 10 years.
Thanks to the good graces of some I am able to get online and IRC as semi-normal (thanks BP{k}) and I have a temporary 1u server in the works. Things are a bit limited as I don’t have what I have grown used to. My development web server and torrent daemons is gone among other things.
Replacement hardware is half acquired and half ordered to replace the server. The last part (the chassis) will be here on the 23rd of this month. I also need to replace my firewall which will be done with gear I had lying around from other projects. This will transpire tonight. I will put something up for each of these as they progress.

It was asked recently how to generate a random HEX key for something like WEP. A bash one liner can do this for you using the following:
string=0123456789ABCDEF && for i in $(seq 1 32); do pos=$(($RANDOM%15)) && key=${key}${string:$pos:1}; done && echo $key

I find my self in a small predicament. I have a network share on my server via NFS. This is where I store all my media such as anime and music so I can get to it from any of my computers. The slight catch is the kid uses Windows XP (games, go figure) so SFU (Services For Unix) are required to access NFS. This turns out to be a bit slow and clunky and can hang from time to time. The solution will be using Samba to share the same directory via CIFS.
I wanted to give all those out there with less of a $clue a quick and dirty. I am not going to get into the details of the config, just touch on getting Samba up and running fast and open the window for easy config.
