Oh nice: the compiler settings in your .dproj files are not reflected in what Ctrl-O O emits in XE7
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/15
I need to test this with other Delphi versions:
Oh nice: the compiler settings in your .dproj files are not reflected in what Ctrl-O O emits as it always puts this as first line in your source code for Delphi XE7:
{$A8,B-,C+,D+,E-,F-,G+,H+,I+,J-,K-,L+,M-,N-,O+,P+,Q-,R-,S-,T-,U-,V+,W-,X+,Y+,Z1}Which means that changing integer values in <DCC_Alighment> or <DCC_MinimumEnumSize> and boolean values in <DCC_Optimize> have no effect.
Bummer.
Source: Oh nice: the compiler settings in your .dproj files are not reflected in what…
I will officially report it as soon as https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=quality.embarcadero.com grades B or better.
And I need to find out if I can help determining which of these causes it via [WayBack] Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+:
There are two possibilities:
1. The settings in the dproj file have no effect
2. The settings Ctrl-O O writes to the source file do not reflect the actual compiler settings but are hard coded instead.
(3. Both)

OpenSuSE and logging: no more syslogd; journald is default, you can use rsyslog or syslog-NG as syslogd replacements
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/15
In the 1990s and early 2000s I did a lot of Unix-Like (Minix, SunOS, HP-UX, Xenox) and later Linux (mostly RedHat and SuSE) work. The internet and Linux weren’t as big as they are now and old stuff was still in use including syslogd.
So recently wanting to do more on the Linux side of things using OpenSuSE (as 15+ years ago, I spent most of my time with SuSE Linux) and assumed logging was still done using syslogd like Mac OS X does.
Boy, I was wrong. Like the internet and lots of other things, logging on OpenSuSE has fragmented in at least these three categories of which two syslog implementations (but syslogd is deprecated and – according to the URC #SUSE Channel – unmaintained):
- journald (installed by default on my Tumbleweed text-only systems)
- rsyslog (which is supposed to be default on modern OpenSuSE installs but somehow isn’t on my Tumbleweed but is on 13.1 and 13.2)
- syslog-ng
- proprietary logging (of many applications in
/var/loglike named, apache, etc)
There seems to be heated debates on what to use when, so I’ll try to stick with the defaults as much as possible.
A few things I need to sort out:
- where is journald persisted?
- how can journald being rotated?
- Seems a setting too: systemd – journald Settings likey need your attention
- what to do with packages that require one form of syslog or the other?
- not sure yet
- can I direct journald to a syslog implementation?
- should work if you install rsyslog or syslog-ng next to journald: syslog not installed by default in openSUSE 13.2?
- how does this apply to other distros?
- not sure yet
Tonu Su (TSu2) posted an elaborate answer on the above questions on the OpenSuSE forums.

Determine Domain and username used when a network share was mapped
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/15
Need to research this a bit further as this works:
powershell gwmi -Query 'Select LocalName, RemoteName, UserName from Win32_NetworkConnection'
__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : Win32_NetworkConnection
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY :
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 3
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
LocalName :
RemoteName : \\w701ujpl\IPC$
UserName : EN81ENTx64SCAN\jeroenp
PSComputerName :
But this fails for some Powershell versions:
powershell
gwmi -Query 'Select * from Win32_NetworkConnection' | Select-Object LocalName, RemoteName, UserName, ConnectionState | Sort-Object LocalName | ft -auto

Can I connect to or view abandoned ssh sessions?
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/14
Boy I wish I had known about screen and tmux years ago. Screen is such a generic term that I never bumped into it, but tmux is easier to find and I like it more. When on the road, I regularly loose SSH sessions, so I’ve been starting tmux ever since I discovered it and reattach to it whenever needed thereby getting the same exact she’ll I was connected to.

how to resize (grow) device partition of a multi-device BTRFS filesystem?
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/11
To grow you must first change the size of the container: the partition, the LV, or arraydevice. Then you can resize the file system. It’s the same with XFS, and NTFS. I’m only aware of Apple’sdiskutil resizevolume command that resizes the flavors of HFS+ and at the same time sets the new end valuefor the partition entry.
Source: Development of the BTRFS linux file system (not yet archived at the WayBack machine)
I will need the above for a single disk device having a BTRFS partition sandwiched between a swap and xfs partition:
# parted -l Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 21.5GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 1562MB 1561MB primary linux-swap(v1) type=82 2 1562MB 17.7GB 16.1GB primary btrfs boot, type=83 3 17.7GB 21.5GB 3799MB primary xfs type=83
I’ll likekly be:
- extend the disk inin ESXi
- use gparted to move the xfs partition to the end of the disk
- use gparted to extend the btrfs partition
- use btrfs to extend the volume inside the btrfs partition
I might be able to do all this from the gparted live CD as moving xfs and growing btrfs is on the GParted — Features list.
Fingers crossed. Luckily I’ve backups (:
