Intel Sightings in ESXi Bundled Microcode Patches for VMSA-2018-0004 (52345)
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/15
If you’ve installed this patch [WayBack] Intel Sightings in ESXi Bundled Microcode Patches for VMSA-2018-0004 (52345), then please read the article if your processor is affected by microcode updates in it.
To inspect which processor is in your machine, please see:
- [WayBack] How to get ESXi CPU model through command line?? |VMware Communities
- [WayBack] Checking cpuinfo information on an ESXi host (1031785)
On my system, this was enough:
vim-cmd hostsvc/hostsummary | grep cpuModel
vim-cmd hostsvc/hosthardware | grep -w -A7 "cpuPkg\|cpuFeature" | grep "description\|eax\|ebx\|ecx\|edx\|vendor"The above statements are based on:
I was lucky, but for now, ESXi has retracted it.
So please disregard my previous post VMware ESXi 6.5.0 Patch History.

Ubuntu – changing hostname without rebooting
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/15
Assembled from various bits in [WayBack] How do I change the hostname without a restart? – Ask Ubuntu.
Assume your new host name is newHostName.
- edit
/etc/hostsand replace the old hostname withnewHostName - Perform these commands:
hostnamectl set-hostname newHostName
exec bash
hostname -f
Both the command prompt and the hostname output should show newHostName.
Note: if you get this when performing hostname -f then you forgot to edit /etc/hosts as per [WayBack] Just so everyone knows, the edit of /etc/hosts did the trick the 12.04 – Why I get hostname: Name or service not known error? – Ask Ubuntu:
hostname: Name or service not known

du -h -s -c *
This displays the human readable (-h) total (-s) with a grand total (-c) of all subdirectories (*).

What happens when a huge number of people share a single grocery store loyalty card? – The Old New Thing

[WayBack] What happens when a huge number of people share a single grocery store loyalty card? – The Old New Thing
An interesting discussion in the comments besides this interesting article observation:
What messes up their data analysis is when two people with different lifestyles swap cards. The system sees that somebody who used to buy yogurt and bulk brewer’s yeast is now buying potato chips and frozen pizzas, and it can’t figure out what is going on.
