@MattSpeller hehe. Had that one spare, the previous owner of the building just left them behind. Good enough for student lectures.

Oh good... I thought you were gonna make us run a 10k.

"make" "run"

@travisdh1 there's a "make clean" function (https://mangolassi.it/unread -> Mark all as read)

Solved... Seems like Gogo is creating its own shell for whatever reason and this was crashing when running in the background, e.g. detached from its parent shell.

Found a Gogo-parameter (gosh.args=--nointeractive) here

• http://apache-felix.18485.x6.nabble.com/Gogo-shell-on-standard-input-output-streams-td4845969.html#a4845970 and here
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14323225/making-apache-felix-gogo-not-open-a-local-console

Basically, the following command line will do:
java -Dgosh.args=--nointeractive -jar bin/felix.jar &

With stdout and stderr redirection:
java -Dgosh.args=--nointeractive -jar bin/felix.jar > /var/log/myapp.log 2>&1 &

Not to mention that Java was a VM implementation and was on x86 and significantly predated VMware. People were very used to VMs on x86 by the time that VMware started up because of that alone.

True, but most of them just didn't know.

I was away like 5 minutes...

At least it's not purposely breaking shell inheritance like IDEAS on IRIX used to do. Looked absolutely horrible when another sysadmin looked at those systems. Still, that's just terrible practice today.

Yeah, I can't say what I am thinking about it without making this site PEGI 18...

I'm still wrestling with it, but it looks like I'm going to win this one.

Schandmaul, InExtremo, ... middleage folk rock. Quite cool when in the right mood:

Oh my, never thought it would be me who has to say something like that...

Let's stay professional. We got our community, they got their. We'll see who lasts longer.

I'm thinking it right along with you, between bouts of nausea from the memories.

Good! Beat that POS into submission!

Oh I did. It tried to cheat on my two more times by blocking the whole shell process despite being forced to background (app &) and using the same TCP port for two different instances but ... finally gave up.

Thanks for your coaching

@gjacobse thank you. To be honest, that takes most of the time in such projects. But I like it clean and safe.

@Lakshmana said in H61MXP Board Issue:

@thwr The vendor is Foxconn.The storage is detected in the bios.The OS start page is showing but after a minute while the Input not supported error coming.
Whether UEFI needs to be done for the machine ???
There is no speaker present in the board so unable to hear sound when the RAM is taken out from the board.

Whar exactly? And which OS are you using? You need to supply as much information as possible, we can't help otherwise.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Well honestly, it would be pretty shocking if they were running Netware 6.5 on new hardware

Never thought about this, but Netware is x86. So you could be able to virtualize it. NIC drivers might be a problem, but I guess it is possible for example with a AMD PCnet legacy vNIC, depending on your hypervisor.

The last version I had my hands on was Netware 3.1 I think. Is 6.5 still using IPX?

Edit: 16 bit OS might be another problem, Qemu could help. Not sure, but isn't at least ESXi able to run DOS VMs?

I have never liked SonicWALL devices. They're a PITA IMO. But I suppose if you spend the time with them, and don't mind a bit of frustration - they have their place.

Like for anyone addicted to pain?

I just don't get it. Used ipchains/iptables/pf in the past and pfSense since, erm, 10 years? No more PITA...

@MattSpeller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@thwr I like the new LED's, are they some kind of grommet you put over top of the LED?

Aye, this one: https://www.conrad.de/de/led-fassung-metall-passend-fuer-led-5-mm-schraubbefestigung-signal-construct-smq1089-185949.html but a version for 3mm LEDs

Oh, I didn't get that from the OP at all. Why would you want an insecure management interface?

Assuming it's internally accessible only. Who cares.

Also very few routers and switches let you easily add valid certificate. So even with HTTPS it is still not secure

There are quite a few differences in the level of security. In the worst case, he won't transmit plaintext credentials in case of some self signed certificate. In the best case, Op can be next to sure that he isn't affected by man in the middle or something similar by having a certificate with a valid chain of trust. Having management interfaces on the same (V)LAN as clients, printers and what not is another story.

Long story short: Better self signed certs than no encryption at all.

@thwr Is that really a 16 port swtich, 4port + wan router, and a Pi in one case? Nice!

Aye

@scottalanmiller said in I am an OS Junkie:

I wish that we could still get BeOS running

Anyone have any suggestions for cool OSes to be testing out? Desktop, server or otherwise?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_(operating_system) ? And sure, I know one or two

@JaredBusch said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Want to help me install it next month?

Oh, got another week of holidays next month, so yeah, why not. Want my email address for the boarding card?

@scottalanmiller said in I am an OS Junkie:

I've thought about Haiku. I've never installed it, though.

Neither did I. Same for ReactOS, seems to be great, but never tried it.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Only 80% would get it correct.

Probably... not everyone knows that you can control a power plant with ACPI events from your PC
