The RouterOS scripting language you can use on Mikrotik device immediately shows it’s origin: the console.
As promised some links to questions I asked:

When switching my DHCP to a Mikrotik CCR1009, both the AP7920 and AP7921 failed to get IP addresses. The APC7921 would look bounce between waiting and offered states like this:
The cause is the need of DHCP Option 43 (Vendor Class Identifier) specified in RFC2132 – based on [WayBack] RFC 2131 – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and [WayBack] RFC 1533 – DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions – which I found first via these links:

The WAN sides of my Mikrotik CCR1009 are partly behind Fritz!Box routers that do NAT and contain a truckload of port-forwards.
A while ago, I wanted the CCR1009 to do PPTP as Fritz!Box 7360 and 7490: static routes over VPN don’t work (so I could only VPN to the WAN side of the CCR1009). However, it would not pass through the Fritz!Box from the outside.
It appears you need to forward both:
Maybe one day I will ditch the Fritz!Box 7490 and directly hookup the Mikrotik to the NTU: xs4all ftth en Mikrotik router – Google Groups.
But preferably I should follow Don’t use PPTP, and don’t use IPSEC-PSK either (via: CloudCracker blog)

Forward both PPTP TCP port 1723 and the GRE protocol

Interesting:
As I always try to maximize the usage of new hardware I started to explore what is possible with this combination. In this post I will explain how you get access to your FRITZ!Box using ssh.

Just one example; it applies to virtually all consumer IoT and routers I know: upgrading is hard especially if it’s undocumented on how to keep your configuration.

Cool: someone made a CheatSheet for Readline keyboard shortcuts for bash, bc, ftp, gnuplot, gpg, ksh, mysql, psql, python, smbclient, xmllint and zsh [WayBack] of the GNU Readline library [WayBack].

An interesting discussion on Xeon based 2nd hand systems that are way cheaper than new ones:
[WayBack] People have been asking about the fact I use old Xeon boxes for my development platforms (and indeed more). I want to cover what I use, why I use them, … – Alan Cox – Google+
I still run a couple of HP XW6600 workstations with [WayBack] E5420 processors (of the [WayBack] Harpertown family) to host VMs on. Works splendid.

Boy, I totally forgot to post this. It runs also ESXi 5.x; I’ve not tried more recent ESXi versions as they just run fine.
As a follow-up on [WayBack] VMware Communities: ESX 3.5 Whitebox on HP xw6600 …, I have installed ESXi 4.0.0.Update01-208167 on a HP XW6600 workstation.
Good news: the generic ESXi 4 installation works, whereas the HP specific ESXi 4 fails (you get a nice purple screen of death).
