With the release of version 1.3.25 of the free Windows API Wine replica of the developer’s existing audio architecture have now been replaced by a constructive solution to MMDevAPI. Moreover, given the current test version of Wine, a first support for the scripting language VBScript.

After the summer of last year with Wine 1.2 stable version of the Win32 API emulation was released, focusing on the development of Wine back the implementation of new features. So it was for some time under the free Windows API emulation enabling games and start Windows applications directly. After Microsoft, however, with the MMDevice API introduced a new sound-set architecture, especially on the innovation of new applications – a problem, because Wine is not implemented fully the MMDevAPI. In such cases, it often helped to shut down the use of MMDevAPI in winecfg.

With the explosive growth of the virtualization platform is not surprising that other parts of the ecosystem of an enterprise are being virtulizadas too. One of the most recent is virtual networking (virtual network).

The first implementations of virtualization platforms created virtual NICs, but now more and more large portions of networks that are being virtulizadas, such as switches that support communication between virtual machines on a server or distributed servers. The following link explores the ideas behind the virtual network, focusing on virtualization NIC and switch.

Logs (or logs) are stored in valuable information, helps to understand what, when and how was the system. Web server logs – it is also an important source of data for analysts (well, there, audience research web resource, identify the main sources of traffic and stuff, although now for a similar purpose a little server logs, you must still connect Google Analytics and Yandeks.Metriku) . But there is a problem: if the web resource goes a lot of visitors (or if the system is working for a long time unattended reception), the logs grow to gigantic sizes.

To drive one is so “independent” system is not overwhelmed with logs to the eyeballs, and this most stable system is not filled up, you must log periodically expunge. But to remove them manually or by scheduler – a bad idea, since most fresh (last added) data from logs, as a rule, really need to monitor the system or Web site. Before removing the need to somehow keep the latest log. The process of maintaining multiple copies of the logs with the removal of the oldest in creating a new copy of itself – is called rotation. Task types, and hence for log rotation has several well-known tools, but I stopped at the logrotate .

Dangerous breed confusion on the server, because being abandoned to their fate sooner or later he will eat all the free disk space. The server was not available you can even ssh to the guests do not skip it. In this case, I recently convinced. Therefore we offer a brief set of recommendations for those who like me, throws servers unattended for long periods, and then wonders: “What is this happened to him?”.

First, if your server is operational (ie, there hang some sites or some mail server or performs regularly even some useful work), then configure the log rotation (an example for web server logs, but this the same way you can rotate any logs). Logs – a sure way to kill the server space with a small disk.
