    "MAME originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus."

    "The YubiKey 4 is the strong authentication bullseye the industry has been aiming at for years, enabling one single key to secure an unlimited number of applications. Yubico's 4th generation YubiKey is built on high-performance secure elements. It includes the same range of one-time password and public key authentication protocols as in the YubiKey NEO, excluding NFC, but with stronger public/private keys, faster crypto operations and the world's first touch-to-sign feature. With the YubiKey 4 platform, we have further improved our manufacturing and ordering process, enabling customers to order exactly what functions they want in 500+ unit volumes, with no secrets stored at Yubico or shared with a third-party organization. The best part? An organization can securely customize 1,000 YubiKeys in less than 10 minutes. For customers who require NFC, the YubiKey NEO is our full-featured key with both contact (USB) and contactless (NFC, MIFARE) communications."

    "A bootloader is a special program that is executed each time a bootable device is initialized by the computer during its power on or reset that will load the kernel image into the memory. This application is very close to hardware and to the architecture of the CPU. All x86 PCs boot in Real Mode. In this mode you have only 16-bit instructions. Our bootloader runs in Real Mode and our bootloader is a 16-bit program."

database mysql performance

shared by 張 旭 on 22 Oct 20 - No Cached
  • SysBench is a C binary which uses LUA scripts to execute benchmarks
  • support for parallelization in the LUA scripts, multiple queries can be executed in parallel
  • by default, benchmarks which cover most of the cases - OLTP workloads, read-only or read-write, primary key lookups and primary key updates.
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • SysBench is not a tool which you can use to tune configurations of your MySQL servers (unless you prepared LUA scripts with custom workload or your workload happen to be very similar to the benchmark workloads that SysBench comes with)
  • it is great for is to compare performance of different hardware.
  • Every new server acquired should go through a warm-up period during which you will stress it to pinpoint potential hardware defects
  • by executing OLTP workload which overloads the server, or you can also use dedicated benchmarks for CPU, disk and memory.
  • bulk_insert.lua. This test can be used to benchmark the ability of MySQL to perform multi-row inserts.
  • All oltp_* scripts share a common table structure. First two of them (oltp_delete.lua and oltp_insert.lua) execute single DELETE and INSERT statements.
  • oltp_point_select, oltp_update_index and oltp_update_non_index. These will execute a subset of queries - primary key-based selects, index-based updates and non-index-based updates.
  • you can run different workload patterns using the same benchmark.
  • Warmup helps to identify “regular” throughput by executing benchmark for a predefined time, allowing to warm up the cache, buffer pools etc.
  • By default SysBench will attempt to execute queries as fast as possible. To simulate slower traffic this option may be used. You can define here how many transactions should be executed per second.
  • SysBench gives you ability to generate different types of data distribution.
  • decide if SysBench should use prepared statements (as long as they are available in the given datastore - for MySQL it means PS will be enabled by default) or not.
  • sysbench ./sysbench/src/lua/oltp_read_write.lua  help
  • By default, SysBench will attempt to execute queries in explicit transaction. This way the dataset will stay consistent and not affected: SysBench will, for example, execute INSERT and DELETE on the same row, making sure the data set will not grow (impacting your ability to reproduce results).
  • specify error codes from MySQL which SysBench should ignore (and not kill the connection).
  • the two most popular benchmarks - OLTP read only and OLTP read/write.
  • 1 million rows will result in ~240 MB of data. Ten tables, 1000 000 rows each equals to 2.4GB
  • by default, SysBench looks for ‘sbtest’ schema which has to exist before you prepare the data set. You may have to create it manually.
  • pass ‘--histogram’ argument to SysBench
  • ~48GB of data (20 tables, 10 000 000 rows each).
  • if you don’t understand why the performance was like it was, you may draw incorrect conclusions out of the benchmarks.

  • Do not use directories as a dependency for generated targets, ever.
  • Parallel make: add an explicit timestamp dependency (.done) that make can synchronize threaded calls on to avoid a race condition.
  • Maintain clean targets - makefiles should be able to remove all content that is generated so "make clean" will return the sandbox/directory back to a clean state.
  • Wrapper check/unit tests with a ENABLE_TESTS conditional

security ssh key server

shared by 張 旭 on 14 Oct 16 - No Cached
  • Make sure you use full disk encryption and never stand up from your machine without locking it, and make sure you keep your local machine patched.
  • I'm more focused on just stealing your keys from you regardless of length
  • attacks that aren't after your keys specifically, e.g. your home directory gets stolen.
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • ED25519 is more vulnerable to quantum computation than is RSA
  • best practice to be using a hardware token
  • to use a yubikey via gpg: with this method you use your gpg subkey as an ssh key
  • sit down and spend an hour thinking about your backup and recovery strategy first
  • never share a private keys between physical devices
  • allows you to revoke a single credential if you lose (control over) that device
  • If a private key ever turns up on the wrong machine, you *know* the key and both source and destination machines have been compromised.
  • centralized management of authentication/authorization
  • I have setup a VPS, disabled passwords, and setup a key with a passphrase to gain access. At this point my greatest worry is losing this private key, as that means I can't access the server.What is a reasonable way to backup my private key?
  • a mountable disk image that's encrypted
  • a system that can update/rotate your keys across all of your servers on the fly in case one is compromised or assumed to be compromised.
  • different keys for different purposes per client device
  • fall back to password plus OTP
  • relying completely on the security of your disk, against either physical or cyber.
  • It is better to use a different passphrase for each key but it is also less convenient unless you're using a password manager (personally, I'm using KeePass)
  • - RSA is pretty standard, and generally speaking is fairly secure for key lengths >=2048. RSA-2048 is the default for ssh-keygen, and is compatible with just about everything.
  • public-key authentication has somewhat unexpected side effect of preventing MITM per this security consulting firm
  • Disable passwords and only allow keys even for root with PermitRootLogin without-password
  • You should definitely use a different passphrase for keys stored on separate computers,

kubernetes system

shared by 張 旭 on 17 May 21 - No Cached
  • A Kubernetes cluster consists of a set of worker machines, called nodes, that run containerized applications
  • Every cluster has at least one worker node.
  • The control plane manages the worker nodes and the Pods in the cluster.
  • ...29 more annotations...
  • The control plane's components make global decisions about the cluster
  • Control plane components can be run on any machine in the cluster.
  • for simplicity, set up scripts typically start all control plane components on the same machine, and do not run user containers on this machine
  • The API server is the front end for the Kubernetes control plane.
  • kube-apiserver is designed to scale horizontally—that is, it scales by deploying more instances. You can run several instances of kube-apiserver and balance traffic between those instances.
  • Kubernetes cluster uses etcd as its backing store, make sure you have a back up plan for those data.
  • watches for newly created Pods with no assigned node, and selects a node for them to run on.
  • Factors taken into account for scheduling decisions include: individual and collective resource requirements, hardware/software/policy constraints, affinity and anti-affinity specifications, data locality, inter-workload interference, and deadlines.
  • each controller is a separate process, but to reduce complexity, they are all compiled into a single binary and run in a single process.
  • Node controller
  • Job controller
  • Endpoints controller
  • Service Account & Token controllers
  • The cloud controller manager lets you link your cluster into your cloud provider's API, and separates out the components that interact with that cloud platform from components that only interact with your cluster.
  • If you are running Kubernetes on your own premises, or in a learning environment inside your own PC, the cluster does not have a cloud controller manager.
  • An agent that runs on each node in the cluster. It makes sure that containers are running in a Pod.
  • The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs that are provided through various mechanisms and ensures that the containers described in those PodSpecs are running and healthy.
  • The kubelet doesn't manage containers which were not created by Kubernetes.
  • kube-proxy is a network proxy that runs on each node in your cluster, implementing part of the Kubernetes Service concept.
  • kube-proxy maintains network rules on nodes. These network rules allow network communication to your Pods from network sessions inside or outside of your cluster.
  • kube-proxy uses the operating system packet filtering layer if there is one and it's available.
  • Kubernetes supports several container runtimes: Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and any implementation of the Kubernetes CRI (Container Runtime Interface).
  • Addons use Kubernetes resources (DaemonSet, Deployment, etc) to implement cluster features
  • namespaced resources for addons belong within the kube-system namespace.
  • all Kubernetes clusters should have cluster DNS,
  • Cluster DNS is a DNS server, in addition to the other DNS server(s) in your environment, which serves DNS records for Kubernetes services.
  • Containers started by Kubernetes automatically include this DNS server in their DNS searches.
  • Container Resource Monitoring records generic time-series metrics about containers in a central database, and provides a UI for browsing that data.
  • A cluster-level logging mechanism is responsible for saving container logs to a central log store with search/browsing interface.

kubernetes networking

shared by 張 旭 on 27 Aug 21 - No Cached
  • expose an application to the outside of your Kubernetes cluster,
  • ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, and Ingress.
  • A service is essentially a frontend for your application that automatically reroutes traffic to available pods in an evenly distributed way.
  • ...23 more annotations...
  • Services are an abstract way of exposing an application running on a set of pods as a network service.
  • Pods are immutable, which means that when they die, they are not resurrected. The Kubernetes cluster creates new pods in the same node or in a new node once a pod dies. 
  • A service provides a single point of access from outside the Kubernetes cluster and allows you to dynamically access a group of replica pods. 
  • For internal application access within a Kubernetes cluster, ClusterIP is the preferred method
  • To expose a service to external network requests, NodePort, LoadBalancer, and Ingress are possible options.
  • Kubernetes Ingress is an API object that provides routing rules to manage external users' access to the services in a Kubernetes cluster, typically via HTTPS/HTTP.
  • content-based routing, support for multiple protocols, and authentication.
  • Ingress is made up of an Ingress API object and the Ingress Controller.
  • Kubernetes Ingress is an API object that describes the desired state for exposing services to the outside of the Kubernetes cluster.
  • An Ingress Controller reads and processes the Ingress Resource information and usually runs as pods within the Kubernetes cluster.  
  • If Kubernetes Ingress is the API object that provides routing rules to manage external access to services, Ingress Controller is the actual implementation of the Ingress API.
  • The Ingress Controller is usually a load balancer for routing external traffic to your Kubernetes cluster and is responsible for L4-L7 Network Services. 
  • Layer 7 (L7) refers to the application level of the OSI stack—external connections load-balanced across pods, based on requests.
  • if Kubernetes Ingress is a computer, then Ingress Controller is a programmer using the computer and taking action.
  • Ingress Rules are a set of rules for processing inbound HTTP traffic. An Ingress with no rules sends all traffic to a single default backend service. 
  • the Ingress Controller is an application that runs in a Kubernetes cluster and configures an HTTP load balancer according to Ingress Resources.
  • The load balancer can be a software load balancer running in the cluster or a hardware or cloud load balancer running externally.
  • ClusterIP is the preferred option for internal service access and uses an internal IP address to access the service
  • A NodePort is a virtual machine (VM) used to expose a service on a Static Port number.
  • a NodePort would be used to expose a single service (with no load-balancing requirements for multiple services).
  • Ingress enables you to consolidate the traffic-routing rules into a single resource and runs as part of a Kubernetes cluster.
  • An application is accessed from the Internet via Port 80 (HTTP) or Port 443 (HTTPS), and Ingress is an object that allows access to your Kubernetes services from outside the Kubernetes cluster. 
  • To implement Ingress, you need to configure an Ingress Controller in your cluster—it is responsible for processing Ingress Resource information and allowing traffic based on the Ingress Rules.

  • Services are assumed to have virtual IPs only routable within the cluster network.
  • Ingress exposes HTTP and HTTPS routes from outside the cluster to services within the cluster.
  • Traffic routing is controlled by rules defined on the Ingress resource.
  • An Ingress can be configured to give Services externally-reachable URLs, load balance traffic, terminate SSL / TLS, and offer name based virtual hosting.
  • Exposing services other than HTTP and HTTPS to the internet typically uses a service of type Service.Type=NodePort or Service.Type=LoadBalancer.
  • You must have an ingress controller to satisfy an Ingress. Only creating an Ingress resource has no effect.
  • As with all other Kubernetes resources, an Ingress needs apiVersion, kind, and metadata fields
  • Ingress frequently uses annotations to configure some options depending on the Ingress controller,
  • Ingress resource only supports rules for directing HTTP traffic.
  • An optional host.
  • A list of paths
  • A backend is a combination of Service and port names
  • has an associated backend
  • Both the host and path must match the content of an incoming request before the load balancer directs traffic to the referenced Service.
  • HTTP (and HTTPS) requests to the Ingress that matches the host and path of the rule are sent to the listed backend.
  • A default backend is often configured in an Ingress controller to service any requests that do not match a path in the spec.
  • An Ingress with no rules sends all traffic to a single default backend.
  • Ingress controllers and load balancers may take a minute or two to allocate an IP address.
  • A fanout configuration routes traffic from a single IP address to more than one Service, based on the HTTP URI being requested.
  • nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /

  • secure an Ingress by specifying a SecretStores sensitive information, such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and ssh keys. that contains a TLS private key and certificate.
  • Currently the Ingress only supports a single TLS port, 443, and assumes TLS termination.

  • persistent sessions, dynamic weights) are not yet exposed through the Ingress. You can instead get these features through the load balancer used for a Service.
  • review the controller specific documentation to see how they handle health checks
  • edit ingress
  • After you save your changes, kubectl updates the resource in the API server, which tells the Ingress controller to reconfigure the load balancer.
  • kubectl replace -f on a modified Ingress YAML file.
  • Node: A worker machine in Kubernetes, part of a cluster.
  • in most common Kubernetes deployments, nodes in the cluster are not part of the public internet.

  • Cluster network: A set of links, logical or physical, that facilitate communication within a cluster according to the Kubernetes networking model.
  • Service: A Kubernetes Service that identifies a set of Pods using label selectors.
  • An Ingress may be configured to give Services externally-reachable URLs, load balance traffic, terminate SSL / TLS, and offer name-based virtual hosting.
  • An Ingress does not expose arbitrary ports or protocols.
  • You must have an Ingress controller to satisfy an Ingress. Only creating an Ingress resource has no effect.
  • The name of an Ingress object must be a valid DNS subdomain name
  • The Ingress spec has all the information needed to configure a load balancer or proxy server.
  • Ingress resource only supports rules for directing HTTP(S) traffic.
  • An Ingress with no rules sends all traffic to a single default backend and .spec.defaultBackend is the backend that should handle requests in that case.
  • If defaultBackend is not set, the handling of requests that do not match any of the rules will be up to the ingress controller
  • A common usage for a Resource backend is to ingress data to an object storage backend with static assets.
  • Exact: Matches the URL path exactly and with case sensitivity.
  • Prefix: Matches based on a URL path prefix split by /. Matching is case sensitive and done on a path element by element basis.
  • multiple paths within an Ingress will match a request. In those cases precedence will be given first to the longest matching path.
  • Hosts can be precise matches (for example “foo.bar.com”) or a wildcard (for example “*.foo.com”).
  • No match, wildcard only covers a single DNS label
  • Each Ingress should specify a class, a reference to an IngressClass resource that contains additional configuration including the name of the controller that should implement the class.
  • secure an Ingress by specifying a Secret that contains a TLS private key and certificate.
  • The Ingress resource only supports a single TLS port, 443, and assumes TLS termination at the ingress point (traffic to the Service and its Pods is in plaintext).
  • TLS will not work on the default rule because the certificates would have to be issued for all the possible sub-domains.
  • hosts in the tls section need to explicitly match the host in the rules section.

  • Concurrency is the separation of tasks to provide interleaved execution.
  • Parallelism is the simultaneous execution of multiple pieces of work in order to increase speed.
  • With threads, the operating system switches running threads preemptively according to its scheduler, which is an algorithm in the operating system kernel.
  • With coroutines, the programmer and programming language determine when to switch coroutines
  • In contrast to threads, which are pre-emptively scheduled by the operating system, coroutine switches are cooperative, meaning the programmer (and possibly the programming language and its runtime) controls when a switch will happen.
  • preemption
  • Coroutines are a form of sequential processing: only one is executing at any given time
  • Threads are (at least conceptually) a form of concurrent processing: multiple threads may be executing at any given time.
