A modification to fit a 3.5 mm stereo socket to the front face of a Becker Mexico Cassette to allow use of mp3 players and the like but still retaining AM/FM radio and cassette functions.
It would be a great way to add AUX to it, but I’d rather not modify the front-panel. Since the 450SEL69 has plenty of room, I will try to see if the above instructions can make the cable external so the AUX connector will be either near the arm rest or the glove compartment.
Often it is better to configure more than just a single pool.ntp.org server in case the IP-address of the name gets cached too long and it becomes unresponsive during that period.
7-zip can uncompress a truckload of formats, but what if you need formats it doesn’t support or you want to integrate decompression in your own software?
Then some libraries can be really useful provided you regularly update them (otherwise you – like Symantec – can run in substantial security risks).
Symantec dropped the ball here. A quick look at the decomposer library shipped by Symantec showed that they were using code derived from open source libraries like libmspack and unrarsrc, but hadn’t updated them in at least 7 years.
If you want to inverse the work of newaliases, you can use makemap to convert them to text:
makemap -u hash access.db
This is quite handy to see if the newaliases indeed put all information into the db file (for instance if you use a script, you can verify it ran correctly).
It works for any db, but you need to be aware of the database format: hash type or btree type.
To my knowledge only one uses the btree type format:
So I needed the pdf-tools on my Mac for which many sites suggest to use brew install pdf-tools. That worked not so well:
$ brew install pdf-tools
Error: No available formula with the name "pdf-tools"
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
This similarly named formula was found:
mupdf-tools
To install it, run:
brew install mupdf-tools
==> Searching taps...
This formula was found in a tap:
homebrew/emacs/pdf-tools
To install it, run:
brew install homebrew/emacs/pdf-tools
==> make server/epdfinfo
Error: No available formula with the name "homebrew/dupes/tcl-tk"
Please tap it and then try again: brew tap homebrew/dupes
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
After doing abrew tap homebrew/dupes it finally worked.
The ESXi console top to show processes is not available *, the alternative is esxtop. But that can show garbage because the ESXi console has a very limited support of terminals **.
For instance, when connecting from a Mac OS Xterminal through ssh, this is my terminal:
setlocal
set gbakExe=C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\bin\gbak.exe
set dbPart=MyDatabase
set dbSource=192.168.199.24:C:\Path with spaces\%dbPart%.fdb
set dbUser=sysdba
set dbPassword=masterkey
"%gbakExe%" -verify -transportable -user %dbUser% -password %dbPassword% "%dbSource%" %dbPart%.fbk
endlocal
You need the quotes around %gbakExe% and %dbSource% to ensure spaces in paths are preserved.
