Just did an apt-get dist-upgrade and a reboot to apply the Debian 12.9 updates.
-
(Quote) I would prefer keeping the existing Debian installation on the server, and just installing NixOS onto its own logical volume to (dual-)boot into NixOS (so we could either relatively easily switch back to Debian or mount the existing data/hom…

(Quote) Isn't that just a timing thing, i.e. it took 6 ms too long?
-
(Quote) BTW, I got the refund last week, but my credit card shows a payment transaction that got declined and a successful refund transaction, so it seems to be fine in the end - just not sure, why there also was a declined payment transaction.

(Quote) Will webchat.lowendirc.com also get an IPv6 address at some point?
-
Had a quick look, and it seems for docx they actually use mammoth to first convert it into HTML, and then convert that to markdown. Just wondering how accurate the conversion is for something a bit more complex...
-
Just submitted a change for Haiku to fix an issue with the daily builds affecting Emacs (that's just a drive-by fix and not yet the fix I was talking about earlier). Thanks to @hosteroid for providing the dev machine.

(Quote) What device are you using that on?
-
(Quote) No luck for me... And it would have been so nice next to my PowerDNS mug: (Image)

Ubuntu + fvwm3 + xfce panel + xfce terminal

(Quote) Personally, I try to stay away from anything that's not in the mainline kernel. (Quote) So far we are only using 64 GB for each of ext4, xfs, and btfs, so there is still plenty of space available. And as it's all logical volumes, …
-
(Quote) Just checked on the status and they are still planning to do a formal security advisory. I'll post here once it gets published.
-
(Quote) There we go: https://download.cmeerw.net/netbsd/netbsd-10.1-pr58693.qcow2 (@linveo maybe name that "NetBSD 10.1 Minimal for Intel (PR58693)")
-
(Quote) What's actually in "non-free" nowadays? Do we really need that? Maybe we should get rid of it as the rules say "Free, open source software only." We might still need non-free-firmware, though.
-
(Quote) No real plan, so just go ahead.
-
(Quote) So I guess the high-level overview is that it hooks into the grub boot menu to add an Alpine Linux netboot live CD and then uses that to download and write the Linux image to the hard disk.
-
(Quote) That's the thing with bugs that have security implications that you don't want the details to be public until everyone affected had a chance to update. I'll want to wait until I get confirmation that they are fine with making …
-
(Quote) What I actually find interesting is that you seem to be using mxroute, but with IPv6 - I didn't think mxroute had IPv6 support? (Quote)
-
(Quote) Well... it's a bit complicated. :) Found the bug and the fix works. However, turned out it's actually in a third-party component (with potential security implications as it's essentially use of uninitialised memory). So repor…

(Quote) I had the low-end option: a SupraFAX: (Image)

(Quote) jed does :)

(Quote) for a day, a week, a month, or a year?

(Quote) Maybe one of these: https://www.supermicro.com/en/jumpstart
-
(Quote) Want to change this to PM you instead to comply with no-spam rules?
-
(Quote) Well... btrfs has a lot of features, but I am unlikely to ever use every feature of it. The question then is how much should I pay for features I don't use? Ideally, copy-on-write should only affect performance if I actually use it for …

Just created an XFS volume: lvcreate -L 64G -n xfs M247-X10E-9N-vgmkdir /mnt/xfsapt-get install xfsprogsmkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/M247--X10E--9N--vg-xfs and added it to /etc/fstab (mounted on /mnt/xfs)
-
(Quote) Is there a description somewhere how the YABS IOPS tests work? (in terms of files created, operations done on those files, ...) (Quote) I guess, and then read up on what fio actually does. (Quote) Maybe should also try with XFS then?
-
(Quote) BTW, quite a big difference between Vienna and Amsterdam.

@bin456789 is there somewhere a high-level description of how the script works?

Announcing NetBSD 10.1
-
(Quote) I have now already made a NetBSD 10.1 image (@linveo ) as 10.1 binaries started appearing this morning.
-
(Quote) I have no idea what that does (actually https://www.cheervision.co/ipinfo/tools/ ) - the IP address is completely wrong (wrong continent) and so is the latency info.
-
(Quote) It's not even in HEAD. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be much interest in this one (even tried pointing out on the mailing list that another VPS provider is also affected).
-
NetBSD 10.1 seems to be just around the corner
-
(Quote) Not all blacklists are only about SMTP (and email spam), but some of them also cover other undesirable behaviour from a particular IP.
-
(Quote) So, "Free VPS trial for 1 month" is not considered free, but "Free VPS for 1 month" is? Could this be clarified where the line between "free" and "not free" is? I don't think I am the only one co…
-
(Quote) Maybe the value could be that this fine server is not on any blacklist so far (Quote) There is even a Debian package, but why does the README not recommend using that?
