Kankun / Amcrest Smartplug SSH Credentials

Use these default credentials to SSH into your new smartplug: 
default user: root
default password: p9z34c  (or sometimes it is 'admin' without quotes).
Don't forget to change root users' password once you have logged in.

It is a great little smartplug with endless possible uses. I have used it in the past to automatically turn on / off basking lights for my turtles. I now use it to time crock-pot for yogurt making. Be aware that there is a maximum load limit, read label/documents carefully. You do NOT want to overload this plug, you have been warned!

My AWS S3 crash course

This post aims to be your quick start guide to AWS S3, ie. Amazon Web Services. Follow along and you'll feel like you just had a roller coaster ride in AWS S3 world.

First of all, get a free AWS account. AWS includes many services and as mentioned above I will only cover S3 here. You may be wondering what is S3. In simple words S3 is Amazon's cloud backup service. Their Free tier is limited, and any usage beyond the limit will incur charges. So make sure you read through the pricing structure and understand it. Charges can accumulate fast if you don't pay attention or are not careful of your usage. You have been warned. You and only you are responsible for your bills. See disclaimer at the end of this post. Your reading of this post implies your understanding and agreement to the disclaimer.

Once you are equipped with an AWS account, login to it and launch AWS management console. Create a Bucket In S3's terminology, a bucket is a collection of files or objects that …

Using XPerf

XPerf comes with Windows SDK. You can get it from MSFT website. During installation there is an option to install just the performance tools should you want only perf tools and not the whole SDK.

To collect a trace from administrator command line:
Begin your workload.xperf -on base+cswitch+power -stackwalk Profile -f c:\kernel.etl  Let the workload execute for a while.
xperf -stop If you have previously created c:\merged.etl, delete it.xperf -merge c:\kernel.etl c:\merged.etl  Now, before you can view your trace in UI, setup your symbol path:
set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=<path to PDB files>  You should now be all set to launch the viewer:
xperf c:\merged.etl (this launches the viewer)  On the UI, there are several different type of graphs for various measurements. From inside the Graph menu, you can enable these views:

CPU Usage by Process.
CPU Sampling by CPU.
Stack Counts by type.

Happy XPerf-ing!

My LXC crash course:

Remember chroot? Container is far beyond a chrooted environment. Think of it as an isolated subsystem in a host OS, which allows running processes in complete isolation - even the hardware visible to the container is virtualized. Containers typically take much less resources than a full virtual machine because containers leverage features in host OS to facilitate isolation.

LXC is one such user interface that leverages containment features in Linux kernel and allows creation and management of containers. Each container running on the same Linux host can run a separate linux distribution. Amazing isn't it?

Containers come in very handy to create isolated environments which do not take up as much resources as running separate virtual machines do. You can use containers to host multiple web services in isolation on a single system. Another good use could be to create multiple development environments.

To create a container in LXC, you first need to have LXC installed on your Linux di…
