Seven signs of a bad sysadmin
The title for this post was originally going to be “things that will get you fired from Anchor”, but we realised they might be more generally applicable and actually more cerebral that they first appear.

Ninja migrations from VMware to KVM using vmdksync
We recently made the decision to pay off some of our technical debt by eliminating the VMware servers we built when we first started our Virtual Private Server (VPS) offering. VMware is a commercial vendor platform so it’s not exactly trivial to jump ship, but it is possible with some time and effort. Forcing a [...]

Announcement of PHP security vulnerability (CVE-2012-1823)
One of our sysadmins picked up the disclosure of this PHP vulnerability last week. It’s kind of important, so we thought we’d share it with you. Eindbazen PHP-CGI advisory (CVE-2012-1823) It’s interesting because a default mod_php installation isn’t vulnerable, but a fairly common deployment technique using php-cgi is (because it’s sane and not a gaping [...]

We don’t usually post puns…
