systemd/udev: PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/08/28

This is so cool, but will take some time for lot’s of tooling to become compatible:

Starting with v197 systemd/udev will automatically assign predictable, stable network interface names for all local Ethernet, WLAN and WWAN interfaces. This is a departure from the traditional interface naming scheme (“eth0”, “eth1”, “wlan0”, …), but should fix real problems.

exporting firewall config – MikroTik RouterOS

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/08/28

Example:

/ip firewall filter export file=ip-firewall-filter.rsc

This exports the Filters parts of the IP Firewall into a file named ip-firewall-filter.rsc in the user-space root of the Mikrotik router file system that you can access through the Files menu entry in WinBox or by external access through FTP or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).

The MacMini is a bit dumb as it won’t enable the GPU when there is no display attached. Which means headless operation is cumbersome as display rendering is very slow.

There are a few tricks of which the off-the-shelve HDMI solutions work best.

You can buy them at Amazon:

Basically the trick to simulate a monitor with a dummy load works for other display connectors as well (most of them work fine with 75 ohm resistors, usually a bit lower or higher works just as well):
