How can I upload binaries on n Arduino UNO R3?

I have an Arduino Uno and I would like to upload a .bin file.
I have found an answer on Google which recommends that I use IAR to upload the binary, but my PC has very low memory.
I have tried doing it via terminal
sudo cp ./blinky.bin /media/edwin/UNO/
But I'm getting an odd error saying that the board is not found.
Are there any suggestions?
I managed to find out that on Linux, we have to mount media devices before we can send files to them.
I used
sudo mount /media/Edwin/UNO/
And I have found that if we open the device in the file manager, it mounts automatically.
In terms of copying, I found that we could also drag a file to the destination in the file manager.
This makes it soo easy!

I accidently disabled virtualbox host-only network for Genymotion

I accidentally disabled my virtualbox host-only network in Network and sharing folder and it disappeared, and now I cannot do anything in Genymotion due to a network error. How do I find the network to enable it or get Genymotion to work again?
Genymobile soft is supposed to recreate the apropriate network on the fly when needed.
Make sure you use the last version and it should be fine.

Openstack, a small image for a tiny flavor

Recently I installed openstack using devstack on my laptop. The problem I'm facing is to launch an instance, since my pc have poor ressources (32 bits, 4 Go Ram, 20Go free space), I need to deploy a very small image.
I tried an iso image for an ubuntu, I downloaded also a image from Ubuntu Cloud images but both of them can't be started. All I want to do is to launch an instance, install java, Tomcat server.
Any advice about an image that I can use?
Try Ubuntu Server Cloud Image
It will run perfectly with 512 MB of RAM.
Also stop unwanted services to save memory. Like stop ssh, sendmail, crond If you are not using them.
Use ubuntu cloud images. Make sure your cloud image is also 32bit.
While spawning instance, see that you look into Nova Security groups to allow ports which you might use.
devstack has cirros built-in. It is probably as small as you can get. It is a limited distro, but you should be able to download the jdk installer and run it.
You may need to download a 32 bit cirros image. The cirros distro downloads are available here:
https://launchpad.net/cirros/+milestone/0.3.0
This image should work for you:
https://launchpad.net/cirros/trunk/0.3.0/+download/cirros-0.3.0-i386-disk.img
You can try any image which are at **https://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/obtain-images.html.
In these Ubuntu image is one which you can use and install applications on it.
It comes with default username ubuntu and you can set new password using cloud-init of heat template or manually while launching the instance.

Set up to simulate failures for a dozen of computers in a WAN

For testing reasons I need to simulate a set up with a few up to a dozen machines that can fail anytime in a LAN (or WAN) that may fail too.
How would you do it using free/open software?
Is there any virtualization solution that allows to kill/reboot machines and bring online/offline (virtually) their connections?
Thank you.
You could probably start with something like Oracle VirtualBox, running a dozen workstation VMs.
While you are running your tests, you can programatically pause/resume your VMs from the command line to simulate system hangs (e.g. for a Windows VirtualBox install):
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage list vms
"CentOS 6.4 (x86_64)" {fb99d1b3-9ff8-4149-9726-635e85996d34}
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage controlvm fb99d1b3-9ff8-4149-9726-
635e85996d34 pause
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage controlvm fb99d1b3-9ff8-4149-9726-
635e85996d34 resume
