Macbook Pro 15 with several problems

Last week i got back my Macbook Pro 15 2016, after 10 days.  The laptop go to service on an Apple Technical Assistance here in my city.

My first Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) works for 5 years without issues.

The first problem was the speakers. Sound was horrible.  The problem is the same described on this link.

The second problem was the battery. With only 86 cycles a message about to service the battery appears.

The third problem was #staingate. 

Apple replace all parts of my Macbook. The service is ok until now.

Lots of problems with this expensive machine. The quality is not the same anymore.

Setup Node.js development environment

Setup a Node.js development environment is easy but when you need to work in a team, the best option is document all installation steps for everyone.

Every developer must use the same setup or things can be wrong. Bellow are small steps to setup a simple Node.js development environment

1 – Setup Node.js:  https://nodejs.org/en/
2 – Setup VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/setup-overview
3 – Open VS Code create a folder and in this folder save an file as app.js
4 – Setup nodemon:
Nodemon is a utility that will monitor for any changes in your source and automatically restart your server. Perfect for development.
To install nodemom open a terminal window and go to the folder you created on step 3 and  type npm install nodemon –save-dev  on the terminal window . This will install nodemon  as development dependency
5 – change package.json to start the application using nodemon
"name": "Node Development",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Just another app",
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "nodemon app.js"
},
"author": "Kenio Carvalho",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^1.18.10"
}
}
5 – Run npm init on the folder and install Express (npm install express –save) //Production dependency

6 Add the code below to app.js and sav, just to test the environment:

const express = require ('express');
const app = express();
app.use('/',(req,res,next)=>{
 
res.send('<h1>Hello from Expres</h1>')
});
app.listen(3000)

7 run npm start on the terminal

open the url localhost:3000 and you will se the page.

What is hybrid cloud?

At a high-level, a hybrid cloud is a mixture of private and a public cloud environments that work in tandem to run your workloads and apps. That definition sounds straight-forward, but when you dive in and start to work, you can find hybrid cloud architectures difficult to manage without the right tools.

You can watch a video of a real-world example to clearly understand what works well on a public cloud environment and what is best in a private environment.

Secondary IP on MAC Book Wifi

I use many vm’s in my day to day on my Mac. When I’m on clients and I have to use different networks of my other, always have to be changing the ip’s of virtual servers and this is a big problem.

A friend sent me the following tip : Place a secondary ip in your MAC that belongs to the same network of VM’s.

I don’t find a easy way to put a secondary ip on my wifi connection. The only way i found was duplicating the wifi network and set up fixed ip in the same network of virtual machines .

Now i can connect on any wifi network and my Mac access all vm’s without changing the ip address

Improving DNS Lookups on Linux

A good DNS service is very important for a mail server.

On Linux servers you need to put your DNS servers on a file called resolv.conf. In general you have two entries like this:

nameserver1   192.168.10.10
nameserver2   10.10.1.1

If one server does not respond then linux will try the second, but there is a timeout for this:

timeout:n
                     Sets the amount of time the resolver will wait for a
                     response from a remote name server before retrying the
                     query via a different name server. This may not be the
                     total time taken by any resolver API call and there is
                     no guarantee that a single resolver API call maps to a
                     single timeout.  Measured in seconds, the default is
                     RES_TIMEOUT (currently 5, see <resolv.h>).  The value
                     for this option is silently capped to 30.

If you want to speed this resolution change resolv.conf to:

options rotate
options timeout:1
nameserver1 192.168.10.10
nameserver2 10.10.1.1

Using the configuration above, both nameserver in rotation and wait max. 1 second for answer before trying the next one.
