KVM VPS on Proxmox behind NAT with port forwarding and DHCP
This post is machine-translated. Often, when a server is rented from some hosting provider, it comes with one or several IP addresses. If the server is “bare-metal” and all services are installed directly on the OS, sharing resources among themselves as best they can, this problem may never arise. But if a clean separation of the server’s resources by means of virtualization is planned, then at some point you may find yourself needing either additional IP addresses, or a NAT setup with port forwarding. Provided, of course, that the services face the outside world.

Making a Paper Tank. Sort of Origami.
This post is machine-translated. Having gotten hooked on World of Tanks and, accordingly, on tanks to a degree, and having seen a tank assembly pattern posted on the forum of our clan Iron Squad, I decided that I absolutely had to make one. And I did :)

Export from e2 to WordPress. First attempt.
This post is machine-translated. The time has finally come: I’ve put together a script for exporting from e2 Selecta to WordPress — e2wp. The imported entries can already be found in this blog; they’re there, they’re readable, it’s just that most of the links and images are dead by now, so these entries will serve as a kind of memorial to my old blog. By the way, I’m releasing the script publicly on Google Code, in case it turns out useful to someone. Quick instructions: Back up the database first! Take the e2Notes table from the e2 blog, load it into the WordPress database, point the script at that database, check everything and run it. If something doesn’t work, write in the comments.
