/etc/netconfig conflict

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/13

Hmm:

Detected 1 file conflict:

File /etc/netconfig
  from install of
     libtirpc3-1.0.1-1.1.x86_64 (Main Repository (OSS))
  conflicts with file from install of
     libtirpc1-0.2.5-1.1.x86_64 (openSUSE-20150508-0)

File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content.

Changes: go figure (:

Windows: Some links around SeBatchLogonRight (Logon as Batch job)

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/11

I will need this one day when doing some migration of jobs written as cmd scripts that are now ran occasionally by end-users into a scheduled fashion.

SMS cards: The technology inside IBM’s 1960s mainframes

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/11

When SMS means Standard Module System.

Pure Geek Porn, for instance this triple AND gate:

triple AND gate with germanium transistors and diodes

Thanks Jan Wildeboer for sharing this.

In remembrance of Felipe Rodriquez

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/10

Felipe makes a few appearances in this great _Unauthorized Access_ documentary by Annaliza Savage 1994.

Memorable moments:

  1. Intro about the initial small size of Hack-Tick.
  2. The start of the Hack-Tick ISP in The Netherlands, which originally started with UUCP and later grew into one of the most important general ISPs with a very keen focus in privacy: xs4all.
  3. Hacking at the End of the Universe congress.

Most of the “in memories” were in Dutch, but one of the few English ones says it all: [Wayback] D U T C H F E L L O W S — In memory of Felipe Rodriquez.

Karin Spaink (friend of Felipe, also suffering from MS) wrote [Wayback] Felipe Rodriguez has died.

A few of the Dutch articles that impressed me very much (some obituaries, some on the internet history in The Netherlands):

Slightly longer but with a worse audio quality:

Continua CI: viewing events (errors) for a certain repository #continuaci @FinalBuilder

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/09

Somehow this isn’t linked logically from the UI, so here are two sets of steps to get there:

From the “Event log”

  1. Go to the “Event Log” page on your Continua CI server; for my server that is https://continuaci.pluimers.com/administration/events.
  2. Click on any repository name (in my case DUnitX) and note the GUID at the end of the URL: https://continuaci.pluimers.com/administration/ci/repositories/index/94c6f27d-20a4-4f53-a81c-94f863db248d
  3. Append index and that GUID to the first URL: https://continuaci.pluimers.com/administration/events/index/94c6f27d-20a4-4f53-a81c-94f863db248d

From the “Source Repositories”

  1. Go to the “Source Repositories” URL on your Continua CI server; for my server that is https://continuaci.pluimers.com/administration/ci/repositories
  2. Click on the word “Error” or red cross (sometimes you can click only one of them) in front of any failing repository: https://continuaci.pluimers.com/administration/events/index/94c6f27d-20a4-4f53-a81c-94f863db248d

The second has the drawback that you can only see events for repositories that are currently in error, not any repository that has ever been in error.

So maybe I was doing something stupid and maybe there is a far easier way, but these work (:
