Socket Programming in Python: Client, Server, Peer Libraries.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to send data from client-to-server and client-to-client connections using socket programming in Python. Socket programming is the implementation of two sockets to send and receive data bi-directionally at any given moment. It connects two sockets (or nodes) together and allows them to communicate in real time. Internet-connected applications that need to operate in real time greatly benefit from the implementation of sockets in their networking code, allowing data to be sent and received at any time. In this Python tutorial, you'll learn how to send data from client-to-server and client-to-client connections using socket network programming in Python. You'll also learn how you can leverage the power of PubNub to send data between two or more client devices for peer-to-peer communication using the PubNub Python SDK. Although this tutorial guides you step-by-step through this process, you can view a video walkthrough of this tutorial on YouTube and find the source code for this application in the GitHub repository.

Fixing Unix/Linux/POSIX Filenames

Traditionally, Unix/Linux/POSIX filenames can be almost any sequence of bytes, and their meaning is unassigned. The only real rules are that "/" is always the directory separator, and that filenames can't contain byte 0 (because this is the terminator). Although this is flexible, this creates many unnecessary problems. In particular, this lack of limitations makes it unnecessarily difficult to write correct programs (enabling many security flaws), makes it impossible to consistently and accurately display filenames, causes portability problems, and confuses users. more ....

Noisy Neighbor Detection with eBPF.

  T he Compute and Performance Engineering teams at Netflix regularly investigate performance issues in our multi-tenant environment. The first step is determining whether the problem originates from the application or the underlying infrastructure. One issue that often complicates this process is the "noisy neighbor" problem. On Titus, our multi-tenant compute platform, a "noisy neighbor" refers to a container or system service that heavily utilizes the server's resources, causing performance degradation in adjacent containers. We usually focus on CPU utilization because it is our workloads’ most frequent source of noisy neighbor issues, read more 

Backing up MySQL data.

Backing up files and directories is relatively easy; databases, however, have some special quirks that you need to address. Our examples use MySQL, but the same principles apply to PostgreSQL and other relational databases. This article is excerpted from O'Reilly's recently published book Linux System Administration .
