The Pragmatic Bookshelf: Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks
Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks: 
Your software needs to leverage multiple cores, handle thousands of users and terabytes of data, and continue working in the face of both hardware and software failure. Concurrency and parallelism are the keys, and Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks equips you for this new world. See how emerging technologies such as actors and functional programming address issues with traditional threads and locks development. Learn how to exploit the parallelism in your computer's GPU and leverage clusters of machines with MapReduce and Stream Processing. And do it all with the confidence that comes from using tools that help you write crystal clear, high-quality code.

The Pragmatic Bookshelf: Explore It! Reduce Risk and Increase Confidence with Exploratory Testing
Explore It!: 
Uncover surprises, risks, and potentially serious bugs with exploratory testing. Rather than designing all tests in advance, explorers design and execute small, rapid experiments, using what they learned from the last little experiment to inform the next. Learn essential skills of a master explorer, including how to analyze software to discover key points of vulnerability, how to design experiments on the fly, how to hone your observation skills, and how to focus your efforts.

The Pragmatic Bookshelf: Pragmatic Version Control using CVS
The Pragmatic Bookshelf | Pragmatic Version Control using CVS
A customer of mine still uses CVS, I would love to own this PDF e-book; I asked them on the forum on that book [Link], whether there is a way to get the e-book [Link]. Update: I got it as a gift from them.
You can find the paper book on Amazon Marketplace as used book and also on eBay for awfully little money.
I really love the recipes in appendix A.2.

Requirements regarding big external disks:
- (I want them)
- RAID-1 (mirroring) (highly desired, going to be a must)
- automatic powering down those disks after a timeout period is a must, and of course powering up on demand as well
- encryption
- …
FRITZ!Box disadvantages:
- the external disk is not encrypted.
- …
