					<description><![CDATA[TweetArtur Bergman, founder of a CDN exclusively powered by super fast SSDs, has made many compelling cases over the years to use them. He was definitely ahead of the curve here, but he’s right. Nowadays, they’re denser, 100x faster and as competitively priced as hard disks in most server configurations. At Etsy, we’ve been trying … <a href="https://laur.ie/blog/2015/06/ssds-a-gift-and-a-curse/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">SSDs: A gift and a curse</span></a>]]></description>

Despite that, I’m largely a fan and focusing on all the cool stuff I can finally do as an ops person without basically re-writing crappy bash scripts for a living (cough sys-v … <a href="https://laur.ie/blog/2015/02/systemd-using-execstop-to-depool-nodes-for-fun-and-profit/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">systemd: Using ExecStop to depool nodes for fun and profit</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TweetMy my, hasn’t @supersheep stirred up a bit of controversy over Nagios over the last week? In case you missed it, he brought up an excellent topic that’s close my heart: Nagios. In his words, we should stop using it, so we can let it die.

I’d been doing the same thing with TinyGrab for a long time, but I like to host things myself. Yes, TinyGrab has the ability to upload to your own server… but it uses FTP.

In my case, it was stuck on procmail. But why?

It sucks, but Pagerduty makes it a little easier to manage when your team starts to grow.

					<description><![CDATA[TweetA quick note to anyone setting up a new Hadoop cluster and hoping to quickly use the built in Ganglia metrics collection (which you should! If it moves, graph it!): This works out of the box with Ganglia 3.0, but the protocol changed with Ganglia 3.1. The official GangliaMetrics pages talks about this, and talks about … <a href="https://laur.ie/blog/2011/03/hadoop-and-ganglia-3-1/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Hadoop and Ganglia 3.1</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[TweetI recently took delivery of the rather splendid Thecus N5500 which I love; it’s the perfect mix between “it just works” and “oh, let’s stick SSH on there and poke around”. With 5 hot swap disk shelves, and 2TB hard drives you’ve got a serious amount of storage.

					<description><![CDATA[TweetWhen I ended up using Windows to power the overhead information screens at Last.fm, I lost the ability to have a one line crontab entry that shut the monitors into DPMS standby (and wake them up) when we’re in and out of office hours.

					<description><![CDATA[TweetI’ve spent 3.43 years at Last.fm, which seems almost like a lifetime. For a long time, I couldn’t ever imagine leaving; every morning I would wake up excited to go and face new challenges and do fascinating new things.
