Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?

To remove a submodule you need to:

• Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
• Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
• Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
• Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
• Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
• Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
• Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Hardening the USB Armory

As a good crypto nerd, I usually use an entirely encrypted linux FS: / but also /boot using grub LUKS support. It's a good setup but it's not perfect, the BIOS and the bootloader are not protected.

I recently got a USBArmory and I wanted to apply the same (or a better) setup.

I found some useful links but no clear howto. So this is my setup.

Manc

[Unit]
Description=Consul service discovery agent
Requires=network-online.target
After=network.target

[Service]
User=consul
Group=consul
PIDFile=/run/consul/consul.pid
Restart=on-failure

Requires
 - fddroidserver and basic requirements for binary repo (see their page)
 - follow instrunctions to create a basic repo structure for a binary-only repo
 - the android sdk of which you mostly need aapt and its libc++.so + local libraries to make it run
   the SDK itself isn't redistirbutable mostly, get your own copy.

For the aapt I use ldd shows following libraries are needed on a Debian amd64 system:
ldd /opt/android-sdk-linux-mini/build-tools/23.0.1/aapt
        linux-gate.so.1 (0xf774a000)
        libc++.so => /opt/android-sdk-linux-mini/build-tools/23.0.1/lib/libc++.so (0xf756c000)

Turning Off Github Issues

My friend Michael Jackson turned off github issues on one of his smaller projects. It got me thinking...

Maintainers getting burned out is a problem. Not just for the users of a project but the mental health of the maintainer. It's a big deal for both parties. Consumers want great tools, maintainers want to create them, but maintainers don't want to be L1 tech support, that's why they
