RapidDisk / RapidCache 3.5 now available.









RapidDisk is an advanced Linux RAM Disk which consists of a collection of modules and an administration tool. Features include: Dynamically allocate RAM as block device. Use them as stand alone disk drives or even map them as caching nodes to slower local disk drives.
I pushed it into the mainline last Sunday. Yes, I know, I am a bit late with this announcement.
- Forcing rxdsk driver to do the drive enumeration. Removed functionality from administration utility.
- Appropriately initializing major number variable to 0 before registering block device module.
- Administration utility now checks for sysfs entry of rxdsk and not module name in /proc/modules.
- Converted sector size input in rxdsk module to KB input. Modified administration utility to this.
- Fixed bug in check for total rxdsk devices in module.
You can pull it from the git, yum, ZYpp & apt repos or download it from the SourceForge project page.
To stay updated, you can follow the RapidDisk Google+ page.

| croc Is A Tool For Resumable, Encrypted File And Folder Transfers Between Computers (Command Line)
croc is a free and open source command line tool for secure file transfers between computers. It uses relay-assisted peer-to-peer transactions and end-to-end encryption via password-authenticated key exchange. The program is written in Go and is available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux and *BSD.
The idea behind croc is being able to transfer files and folders between cross-platform computers securely, fast and easy. With support for resumable, peer-to-peer transfers. As a bonus feature, croc is also able to securely transfer a short text or URL directly.
The data transfer is done using a relay, either using raw TCP sockets or websockets. When the sender and the receiver are on the same LAN, croc uses a local relay, otherwise a public relay is used. Thanks to this, croc can send files between computers in the same LAN, or over the Internet, without having port-forwarding enabled.
The data going through the relay is encrypted using a PAKE-generated session key. For this, croc uses code phrases, a combination of three random words. By default, a code phrase can only be used once between two parties, so an attacker would have a chance of less than 1 in 4 billion to guess the code phrase correctly to steal the data.
