Hi Everyone! We've got this nice, free Hosteroid LES Community Server waiting for some of us to use it! If you are interested, please take a careful look at the How to Apply section in the OP. Thanks! Special thanks to @cmeerw for sysadmin h…

I found a nice post from 2001 by Martti Kuparinen, the author of NetBSD's etcupdate. I like the post because it provides examples. Of course, etcupdate has changed since 2001. (Quote) ~~~ Now I seem to have got through a run of etcupdate -av …

Hi @lukast__ ! I'm really glad to see your review! Thanks for posting! I definitely will take a look at Layer 7, and maybe I can buy something from them. One thing which especially impressed me from your review was your positive comment about …

Hi James! Delighted to meet you! Thanks for your reply! (Quote) Since you did not say that you want more questions from me, I will not ask any more questions. Best wishes! Tom

When I tried etcupdate previously, I had seen, if I remember correctly, Section 35.1.4 of the NetBSD Guide. Section 35.1.4 says: (Quote) So I think I might have gone ahead and tried /usr/sbin/etcupdate -s /usr/src. What seemed to happen might have…

Now, etcupdate itself. linveo# wc -l $(which etcupdate) 855 /usr/sbin/etcupdatelinveo# (Spoiler)

etcupdate has a man page which isn't too long. linveo# nroff -man /usr/share/man/man8/etcupdate.8 | wc -l 234linveo# Here is the full etcupdate(8) man page, if you want to take a peek under the spoiler. NetBSD also has its man pages onl…

Hello! I got the OpenBSD installer running inside Qemu running on a Linux server. My goal for now was just to make sure I could boot the installer, so I did not (yet) make a qcow2 file for a persistent installation. Instead, I stopped when I reache…

@JDMcPea Congrats! Good luck!

(Quote) Thanks so much! <3 Debian is great, of course, and Debian also is very widely adopted. That's why, originally, I asked @Hosteroid <3 for Debian, since I thought Debian would be the most appreciated OS by the majority here at LES.…

(Quote) Sounds great! No rush. :star: As I said, I'm working on the filesystem stuff on another server, for a little while. To be clear, my main concern is staying fair with Hosteroid. If at least somebody has an upcoming use for the Communit…

Hello! I got another server temporarily so that I can mess with LVM without risk of causing disruption here. More on LVM in a little while. If I understand right, @quangthang wants to try running Nix on ARM architecture, and our server is Intel. @…

Here is a page about the Neoverse N-1 CPU used in the Netcup G11 VPS: https://developer.arm.com/Processors/Neoverse%20N1 Quoting from the linked page, it seems like this CPU includes some 8.3+ extensions, but apparently not all the extensions need…

Welp, what do you think? Did the reboot work? Rebuilding and updating NetBSD-current seems more suspense-filled than I remember from the old days. . . . Here is moving the new kernel into place: (Spoiler) And here is . . . what . . . happened . .…

If it's okay with @cmeerw, maybe @quangthang might like to try installing NixOS on the entire bare metal server? The server has an HTML5 IPMI available. We could then keep going with NixOS or change back to Debian or to something else later. Wh…

Well . . . I did build the kernel again. . . . I'm not sure whether having the "-x" flag in the kernel build changes anything. But it might. Tomorrow, maybe we will see if the VPS reboots with the newly updated and recompiled kernel…
