To temporarily delete a HDD in Linux, echo 1 to the device/delete file for that drive's block device. To permanently delete before suspend, create a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ that echoes 1 to device/delete when suspending. To add the drive back, echo a scan command to each scsi host and restart the system.
Reverse Engineering the "Human API" for Automation and ProfitNati Cohen
We all agree that recurring operational tasks are time-consuming nuisances, which should be eradicated using automation. However, sometimes they require careful coordination, hardware manipulation and worst of all - human interaction.
Recently, we found that our code doesn’t really need to pass a Turing test in order to successfully interact with humans, and convince them to partake in an automated process. In this talk I’ll describe how we automated disk replacement for our HDFS clusters - despite having to communicate with the hosting provider by emails, while preventing the process from failing at scale.

Nowadays, scaling and auto-scaling have become relatively easy tasks. Everyone knows how to set up auto-scaling environments - Auto-Scaling groups, Swarm, Kubernetes, etc.
But when we try to scale I/O Bound workloads:
- Message queues (Kafka, Rabbit, NATS)
- Distributed databases (Hadoop, Cassandra)
- Storage subsystems (CEPH, GlusterFS, HDFS),
the traditional auto-scaling mechanisms are just not enough.
Heavy calculations must be performed to determine the I/O bottlenecks. Rebalancing the data after a scaling event can take up to hours depending on your data & could, resulting in data loss if not properly designed.
We will deep dive into this type of workload and walk you through code samples you can apply in your own environment.

Imagine walking into your favorite bar arcade chain. Lights flashing, tickets flying, source code leaking... wait what? High scores aren't the only thing you can win from games.
It's easy to forget that these siloed pieces of equipment are developed and managed just like any other system. To put it plainly, modern arcade machines are just desktop computers in an oversized wooden cabinet. This means that they can be inspected and attacked using the same methodologies one would use in a host-based penetration test. In fact, many of these games are unhardened and connected to networks that are readily available to anyone in the building.
Using open-source tools, and a little bit of searching, you can uncover a wealth of sensitive data in the unlikeliest of places - ranging from angry command histories, to customer PII, and more. No quarters necessary!

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

ASK BY LINUX KERNEL ADD OR DELETE A HDD
TO DELETE:
The HDD need to be deactivated Temporally,
echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/delete
echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/delete
To verify,
pvs -a -o +dev_size
Or the HDD need to be deactivated Permanently,
before suspend.
To make it permanent, add the following file in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ ,
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204 Dec 6 16:03 99_delete_sdc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204 Dec 6 16:03 99_delete_sde
With Content:
#!/bin/sh
# Delete the failing disk so that it will not block suspend
case "$1" in
suspend|hibernate)
if [ -d /sys/block/sdc ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/block/sdc/device/delete
fi
if [ -d /sys/block/sde ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/delete
fi
;;
esac
TO ADD IT BACK:
Issue the following to add it back,
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
