Yes, I know this is late in the game, but I’m still catching up with some of the things after from autumn 2019 to spring 2021 spending most of my time on rectum cancer treatment and other core things.
So here are some links on ESXi 7.x so I know what to expect to upgrade existing ESXi 6.x installations and get some new ones up. This will hopefully make some software development easier too, as I plan to have a build-rig some day.
But first of all a surprise for me:
I had not expected ESXi 7 to be available on ARM in 2020 yet, but it’s there and certified to run on Raspberry Pi 4. So here are some links:
The bulk of the links:
William Lam and the VMware support team discovered quickly that we used the wrong esxcli update command (esxcli software vib update). The correct command to upgrade an ESXI host is: esxcli software profile update.

I always forget that, when moving a folder, instead of finding all references to that folder and fixing them, you can create an NTFS symlink from the old location to the new one.
[Wayback] how to move MSOCACHE folder from C-drive to D-drive ?? – Microsoft Community (thanks [Wayback] tgunda numbering and casing updates mine):
There are too much entries in the registry to correct them manually one by one.
An easier and quicker solution is to copy the fullMSOCachefolder to a new place and to make a soft link to it:
- Create a new folder, e.g.
F:\MSOCache- Copy everything from
C:\MSOCacheto the new one.- Rename the old folder
C:\xMSOCache(Don’t delete it, just in case).- Open a command prompt window in administrator mode.
- Write:
mklink /d c:\MSOCache f:\MSOCacheNow there is anMSOCachelink atC, pointing to the new place.If everything is OK, you can deleteC:\xMSOCache
This can be very handy when moving around large software development installations, circumventing a full uninstall/install sequence loosing lots of configuration settings.

From a while back, so I hope it has been fixed by now on the SVB PGB site.
The Dutch SVB (sociale verzekeringsbank, the [WayBack] organisation that implements social security schemes in The Netherlands) has a web-site to submit declarations for PGB ([Wayback] individualised subsidy for care, or personal care budget).
Authentication for the site goes through DigiD, the identity provider through which government related web-sites can verify the identity of Dutch residents on the internet.
In from somewhere in the mid 2010s until somewhere in 2020, the SVB PGB site would log you out when the 15-minute inactivity count-down in the lower right of the screen would reach zero.
After that, the behaviour changed: you would be logged out 15 minutes after logon, forcing one to login way more often. Each logoff/logon cycle had these effets:
Note that due to site stability reasons in the years before, I already printed each web-page to PDF before submitting, as there was no way to use the “back” button to see what information you had entered.
That way at least I had the information at hand when re-entering the same information. It also provided me of a “paper” trail of site navigation and entered data.
That’s why I reported it early March 2021:

The below answer works on my Linux and OS X systems (each having multiple network adapters configured):
[WayBack] bash – How to get the primary IP address of the local machine on Linux and OS X? – Stack Overflow
ip route get 1 | awk '{print $NF;exit}'
For Linux, I have this bash function:
# note the ";exit" lists the first default route interface, as there can be multiple function nmap-fingerprint_network_of_default_interface() { default_if=$(ip route list | awk '/^default/ {print $5;exit}') default_if_cidr=$(ip -o -f inet addr show $default_if | awk '{print $4}') nmap -sP $default_if_cidr }
And for OS X this one:
# requires ipcalc function nmap-fingerprint_network_of_default_interface() { default_if=$(route -q -n get default | awk '/interface:/ {print $2;exit}') default_if_address=$(ifconfig $default_if | awk '/inet / {print $2;exit}') default_if_netmask_hex=$(ifconfig $default_if | awk '/inet / {print $4;exit}') default_if_network_bit_count=$(ipcalc --nocolor --class $default_if_address $default_if_netmask_hex) default_if_cidr=$(echo "$default_if_address/$default_if_network_bit_count") nmap -sP $default_if_cidr }
These are the variables used:
default_if: network interface of the default routedefault_if_cidr: IPv4 CIDR of the network interface of the default route (see Classless Inter-Domain Routing: CIDR notation – Wikipedia)default_if_address: IPv4 address of network interface of the default routedefault_if_netmask_hex: hexadecimal IPv4 network mask of network interface of the default routedefault_if_network_bit_count: number of set bits in the IPv4 network mask of the network interface of the default routeLinks used to get the above functions:
-q does not provide output, but I found out that in practice -q -n and -n are equivalent in output.A modern IPv4/IPv6 ipcalc tool, assisting in network calculations in command line and as a tool for scripts.
Nmap supports CIDR-style addressing. You can append
/to an IP address or hostname and Nmap will scan every IP address for which the first<numbits><numbits>are the same as for the reference IP or hostname given.For example,
192.168.10.0/24would scan the 256 hosts between 192.168.10.0 (binary:11000000 10101000 00001010 00000000) and 192.168.10.255 (binary:11000000 10101000 00001010 11111111), inclusive.192.168.10.40/24would scan exactly the same targets.
I might have gotten away with a pure bash solution (see [WayBack] Bash script for calculating network and broadcast addresses from ip and netmask or CIDR Notation · GitHub or my post Getting your local IPv4 addresses, netmasks and CIDRs), but the above works and is way shorter, and easier to maintain.
In stead of ipcalc, subnetcalc can do the same calculations and also supports IPv6, so that is something for a future try:

I wanted access to a supposedly reset a MikroTik [WayBack] MikroTik CRS109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN, but the default credentials did not work. Somehow, keeping the reset button pushed for almost 20 seconds also did not reset+reboot it.
Luckily, the default PIN code was still 1234 ([WayBack] Manual:LCD TouchScreen: PIN code – MikroTik Wiki) so I could reset it ([WayBack] Manual:LCD TouchScreen: Reboot and Reset Configuration – MikroTik Wiki).
After this, I changed credentials and PIN, documented configuration and credentials, and ensured there is a back-up of that documentation available.
Note: fiddling with power and reset button might have worked, though it is odd the CRS109 documentation does not mention this. PIN code worked faster, so that’s what solved my issue first.

In case something you want to arrange in the on-line Rabobank portal fails, you can call their web-care team:
[Archive.is] Rabobank on Twitter: “Hi Jeroen, jammer dat het online niet lukt. Ik adviseer om te bellen met mijn collega’s op 088 722 67 67. Fijne dag 🍀 ^Liesbeth… “
In my case as custodian, it was impossible to on-line change the bank statements from paper to digital, even after following [WayBack] Wijzigen of stoppen ontvangst rekeningafschriften – Rabobank.
The on-line team changed it for me in a matter of minutes.
