von | Mrz 3, 2023 |

What was up in February?

Some of us went to conferences around the world, but most of us stayed in the cold but beautiful Nuremberg. And we wrote a lot of good articles for you!

 

Icinga Repository Subscription

 

What is the Icinga Repostiory subscription, and how can you get it? Chantal answered all the questions you might have regarding the Icinga Repository Subscription. Read all about it, and if you still have questions afterwards, Chantal provided a link to contact us!

 

 

GitLab @NETWAYS

 

Stefan wrote about the various ways for you to use GitLab and how we may be of assistance. Read about the Open Source tool and your possibilities regarding set-ups and the option of booking it as a service and avoid the hassle of finding storage space and doing updates etc. It is your choice, but if you need help deciding we can assist you!

 

 

Migration to the Icinga DB?

 

Christian wrote about migration to the Icinga DB and about the new architecture and web frontend of Icinga DB. He shared a link to the Webinar explaining what the Icinga DB is, and leaked the date for the upcoming Webinar, which will demonstrate a migration.

 

But that wasn`t all!

 

Bernd shared our journey towards the Open Source tool BookStack, Patrick wrote about tracking and fingerprinting in How I met your C2: Basic Operational Security for Defense and Offense, Apostolos wrote about the apprentices` latest project week in which they got to know the other departments, read about Johannes R. in our blog series NETWAYS stellt sich vor, and Katja asked if you are our new Online Shop Manager.

Then Lennart taught us about installing Icinga DB with the Icinga Installer, Chantal wrote about our NETWAYS Domino- Day, Saeid asked Why Python?, Philipp gave us News from go-check, Bernd introduced the App-launcher Raycast, Apostolos finds that the advantages of an apprenticeship as an adult over 30 definitely outweigh the disadvantages, In NETWAYS Chefs Stefan cooked gulasch in the slow-cooker, Katja shared a talk from the OSMC 2022 and from stackconf 2022 and told us to submit a talk for next years` conference, Leonie stated that our NWS portfolio is bursting with options for you! Read about it and test an app for 30 days for free. And, last but not least, our apprentices used their project week to create a game arcade-style for us!

 

I hope you found something of interest! If not: Please contact us with YOUR wishes. See you next month!

NETWAYS Chefs- Stefan kocht Gulasch im Slowcooker

von | Feb 24, 2023 |

This entry is part 15 of 17 in the series NETWAYS Chefs

In der NETWAYS Küche wird ständig gekocht und gebrutzelt. Oft duftet es im ganzen Büro nach Gewürzen aus der ganzen Welt. Und am Meisten wird die tolle Küche von Stefan genutzt. Diesmal hat er Rindergulasch gekocht, und direkt so viel, dass ganz viele Glückliche mitessen durften. Das besondere an dem Rezept, ist dass man das Fleisch nicht vorher anbraten muss, und dass es langsam über Nacht vor sich her köcheln kann. Willst du es auch nachkochen?

 

Du brauchst (für die XL Portion):

  •     100 g Schmalz (oder Butterschmalz)
  •     2 kg Zwiebeln (in Würfeln)
  •     2 kg Rindergulasch (gerne durchwachsen, von der Wade)
  •     4 EL Rotweinessig
  •     500 ml Rinderfond
  •     2 Knoblauchzehen, zerdrückt
  •     2 TL Kümmel
  •     2 Lorbeerblätter
  •     4 EL Paprikapulver, edelsüß
  •     100 g Tomatenmark
  •     1 TL Salz
  •     frisch gemahlener Pfeffer

 

Als „Geheimzutat“ für den Winter hat Stefan noch einen gehäuften Teelöffel „Fünf Gewürz Mischung“ dazugegeben.

( Zutaten: Szechuanpfeffer, Zimt, Nelken, Fenchel, Sternanis )

 

   

 

So geht`s:

 

  • Schmalz in einem ausreichend großen Topf erhitzen und Zwiebelwürfel darin bei mittlerer Hitze etwa 15 bis 20 Minuten goldbraun braten. Dabei gut beobachten und häufig umrühren, damit sie nicht anbrennen.
  • Zwiebeln in den Einsatz des Slowcookers geben. Rindfleisch in mundgerechte Stücke schneiden, obenauf legen.
  • Bodensatz im Zwiebeltopf mit Essig und Brühe kurz loskochen. Knoblauch, Kümmel, Lorbeerblatt, Tomatenmark und Paprika dazu geben und auflösen, salzen und pfeffern. Alles über Fleisch und Zwiebeln geben.
  • Auf Stufe LOW 10 bis 12 Stunden garen, bis das Fleisch ganz weich ist. Je nach Heizintensität des Topfes (Crock-Pot-Modelle sind notorisch schneller) reichen u.U. auch schon 8 bis 9 Stunden. Dann einfach warm halten bzw. wieder warm machen!

 

 

Dazu gab’s Knödel, Gurkensalat und Blaukraut.

 

Viel Spaß beim Nachkochen, und bis zum nächsten Mal!

Monthly Snap December 2022

von | Jan 6, 2023 |

Happy new year everyone! 2022 is long gone but let us take a minute to remember the great month of December. December 2022 came with an all-seasons weather mix in Nuremberg, but I choose to remember the beautiful snowy days and forget about the rest! In December we also had our annual Christmas party- it was a blast and not something we are likely to forget about any time soon 😉

We also had some great blog articles for you! In case you missed some of them, here you go:

Stefan let us in on the advantages of using our NETWAYS Cloud! He told us of the data protection, the flexible solutions regarding size and webinterface, and of course that you don`t sign up for a year or worse, you can delete your project at any time, and you will always have an overview of your costs in your account

 

 

 

NETWAYS Christmas party

 

2022 we were finally able to celebrate properly again! Our newest “family members” had no idea what awaited them, but our events-team had truly outdone themselves this year! It was such a great event for all of us, and we are already looking forward to the next one! Julia wrote about the party and shared loads of photos!

November is traditionally the month of the Open Source Monitoring Conference, and this year was no exception.
