How to grab your data from Russia in current situation

You have some infrastructure in Russia and you want to move out, for example to Europe? Now is it a problem. During last tests Russia limited long sessions, all that are longer than 1 min start throttling to 100kBps. Maybe not to all destinations, but I checked many major Europe providers and Belarus as proxy, BTW, Belarus throttling 50kBps.

pssh (parallel-ssh) problems on Debian 10 with Python 3.7

Python reminds me of PHP many years ago with totally incompatible versioning on one server. Do you need another version? The best way - new servers, because any update or installation can break all global environments. Half a year after “Sunsetting Python 2” but main distributions continue to push python2 during installation and it’s a big challenge not to replace the default version after some update or installing a new package.

FreeRadius and Google Workspace LDAP

This is the first time when I used FreeRadius, this program reminds me of Postfix, I mean similar complicated and powerful tool.

Work From Home (WFH)… Not a big problem for IT. Almost all that I need I can do without any discomfort. Big understanding of how to work became in the first carnitine time, in Lithuania it was in summer. Good weather, own house, lots of forests around… Who cares about COVID19, I just be with my family and spend my time as usual.

OpenVPN Install

Some time ago, one windows server, with all updates, was hacked… As a result, one of the solutions to solve this problem - use VPN. But not all IT peeps can configure and support linux infrastructure or have some equipment to configure it easily… After some research I found a very useful project on GitHub ( openvpn-install ). Probably is the most easy way to install and support users. Just a simple wizard.
