2015-12-29 - algorithms for cloud computing

i just got informed that algorithms for cloud computing presentation has been made public on nokia's wrocław main page and is now available for download. originally it has been prepared as an internal training, but since it contained next to none details about Nokia's plans/developments and received very good feedback from the teams in different sites, it has been decided it can be made public¹⁾! :) and so in (nearly) unchanged form it is now available to anyone interested – have fun! :)

presentation covers the following subjects:

introduction to cloud and cloud computing
gossip protocol
membership:
- gossip-based
- SWIM membership protocol
map-reduce
raft consensus algorithm
CAP theorem
time:
- clock synchronization
- Lamport timestamps
- vector clocks
distributed hash tables:
- chord
- kelips

btw - greetz to the miotacze piorunów team, for a lot of hard work put into this 1.5h long talk! :)

since the full content has been presented during the internal trainings, only the (slightly truncated) slides are available online. this is however enough get up to speed with the subject, with minimal time requirements.

2015-12-29 - debian's httpredir

i've recently came across interesting project for automatic mirror selection in debian's apt, namely httpredir. after about two weeks of using it i must say it works like a charm! :) mirrors are selected very reasonably, which results in fast download speeds and up to date repos. and all of this works out of the box – all one needs to do is to change URLs to repos from something like:

deb http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian testing main

to:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian testing main

…and that's it! everything else is done automatically, based on your source address.
