Be sure to read the comments at Chris Mason deklariert BTRFS als Stable, und Suse setzt es als Default für / in der neuen SLES ein….
Some of the comments provide great insight in the practical use of:

Had to download a bunch of stuff over the command-line from an IIS server that was using authentication. Not basic authentication, but NTLM authentication.
wget kept failing, even wget 1.10 that usually does NTLM quite OK (but up to 1.10.2 has a security vulnerability so you should not use wget 1.10 any more).
So I installed a Windows x86 cURL binary, and downloaded+copied the root certificates, then did some reading on the command-line switches.
Without any, cURL does http basic authentication. But a Windows server usually expects NTLM authentication (hardly documented, but it uses the Negotiate protocol).
When not using NTLM, both would show (wget -d, or curl -v) this in the output, indicating you should use NTLM authentication: Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks to the wonderful people at the opensuse forums (especially Knurpht and wolfi323) for helping me out with opensuse 12.2: yast “System Services (Runlevel): Services” very slow: how to investigate.
The solution is to install openldap2, then reboot.
The easiest way is to perform this under sudo:
zypper install openldap2
Somehow in opensuse 12.2 yast, sendmail and apache depend on it (though the yast/zypper software installer don’t recognize the dependency).
Without the reboot, yast was still slow. Not sure why yet.
I will need to check this out in the most current opensuse release.

Ever wanted to put all your Windows installs on a bootable USB stick, but also add some Linux functionality?
It looks like YUMI can do just that.
On my research list (:

After having recorded quite a few broadcastings to USB from my Samsung UE40C6800 TV with the T.VALDEUC 3011.0 firmware, I wanted to copy them over to either a Windows or Linux based machine for post editing.
Then I found out the USB device had been reformatted into XFS, probably because of its Guaranteed-rate I/O.
The first post I came across (SettoreZero: XFS filesystem and Samsung LEDTVs) indicated XFS is supported under Linux, but not under Windows (it appears the latter might be true).
So I went collecting useful links on which I will start doing deeper research in a few categories.
As it looks now, most of it will probably lead to various Linux shell scripts based on SamyGO.
General info:
XFS documentation:
Limux support:
Windows support:
SamyGO (selected with this particular TV in mind):

Applies to many Linux distros and explains a lot about sudo, su and their parameters: sudo – How to run a command as a user whose login is disabled? – Ask Ubuntu.

Just in case I need this again:
None of the mutt ones worked for me. It was thinking the email address was part of the attachemnt. Had to do:
echo “This is the message body” | mutt -a “/path/to/file.to.attach” -s “subject of message” — recipient@domain.com
Thanks Alexander Bird for noticing the double-dash, rynop for the modified answer and Chris N for the original answer.

I’ve succesfully woken up these machines:
I still need to try to wake up a Mac Mini Server running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
MacBook Air on 10.7 (Lion) and Retina on 10.8 (Mountain Lion) won’t work as they are WiFi only, and WOL does not work over WiFi.
On 10.7 and up it might not work on a Mac Mini Server either, as Apple Introduced Dark Wake.
I used these tools to send WOL packets: Read the rest of this entry »
