This is a new release of squashfs, a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs compresses both files, inodes and directories, and supports block sizes up to 64K for greater compression. It is implemented as a kernel module under VFS.   Squashfs 3.1 has some major improvements to the squashfs-tools, a couple of major bug fixes, lots of small improvements/bug fixes, and new kernel patches.  You can download squashfs from this page: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63835

Based off of a previous article from Mike Willbanks, Stuart Herbert has posted some of his own thoughts on tuning and tweaking your applications for the best performance you can get out of them.   There's some good advice in there, and I thought it'd be a good idea to quickly add a bit more detail about the separate approaches that Mike raises.   He goes over the APC caching, memcache, the "gzip trick", the "Not Modified" header and optimized SQL statements.   He also mentions one thing that Mike didn't mention - a split between static files (no PHP needed) and their dynamic cousins. Having a more pure Apache (no PHP installed) can help give a minute jump in speed that, depending on the size of the site, could really add up from a user's perspective.

Travis Swicegood has made a new release of the successor to the PEAR RunTest package for PEAR2 - the new PHPT.    Since this is usable and PEAR2 is still being worked out, I've decided to release this as a standalone package for the time being with the intent of bundling it with Pyrus or including it directly in PEAR2 when PEAR2 is realized.   This provides the majority of the functionality provided by PEAR's pear run-tests command via its own phpt command and it can even provide pear style output.    Examples of its use are included as well as the method to download this latest version (via a PEAR channel, of course) or through the package's web page. Issues found with the software can be posted to the project's Google code page.

InfoWorld - I've written many times over the years, including as recently as last week, that letting users execute and install their own software will always allow viruses, worms, and Trojans to be successfully installed. Traditionally, I've recommended that users not have admin or root access, that they let system administrators choose what software is allowed and what is blocked. But this recommendation breaks down for several reasons.

With the release of Solaris 10, Sun introduced the concept of local zones. Zones are an isolation mechanism for applications in which an application is started within the confines of a zone. This document will provide system administrators with the information needed to correctly configure local zones in a VCS cluster, and to provide best practices for systems maintenance when local zones are placed under VCS control.

Perl script that automatically searches for new episodes of your favorite TV shows and downloads the corresponding NZB files from various free sources on the internet.   This release is mostly just to update the .shows file and the README.  I was sleepy, and I stupidly said that you do not have to have the  element in your shows file.  Turns out I'm just an idiot, and you do.  I have updated the .shows file to include the proper template for most shows, which is %name%.S%season%E%episode%  Sorry about that!  I also started a code optimization run which will hopefully over time make things run faster and more efficiently.  I just picked off the low hanging fruit on this release, because I wanted to get the updated README out before too many people had problems.

Today I played with using TSocks  and SSH to provide a transparent SOCKS5 proxy to internal hosts in our colo.  Its a pretty easy setup:  {{{  apt-get install tsocks vi /etc/tsocks.conf #define your networks here export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libtsocks.so  ssh -D 9050 username@server.com  }}}  Then you can use all your standard applictions like wget, Mozilla, etc without any reconfiguration.  Since its SOCKS based and not application based you can connect to everything as if you had a route.  No more stupid localhost:198377 custom port forwards!  The trick of course is the {{{-D 9050}}} which tells SSH to open a SOCKS server on that port.  It turns out that tor  also supports tsocks which seems ...

A new release of the Zip PECL package has been made according to this post on Pierre-Alain Joye's blog today. The main update in this release is to counteract a Windows bug that's interfering with binary file opens.   The issue is actually a windows bug. No matter if I give or not the "b" flag to fopen, the write operations are not binary safe. It seems to be a known issue as many projects use the same trick.   The problem comes up when PHP forces the binary mode in SAPI and CLI, making the binary writes to a file non-binary safe no matter what. Pierre is also asking for help from anyone out there with any information/bug reports/references about this issue that would yield something useful.
