Can't decide which OS to run today? Why not Linux inside Windows inside macOS?

VMware has already displayed its virtualization kernel running on Raspberry Pi's (ie. ARMs).

I suspect they would have the heavy lifting out of the way already, ready to wrap it up in a GUI.

Pen Test Partners: Boeing 747s receive critical software updates over 3.5" floppy disks

Honestly..

Honestly, in this day and age, I'd *rather* information updates to the avionics systems came on something like floppy disk rather than tethering to the Internet.

Sure, they could upgrade to Flash disk or something. But then again, the 747 was first produced in _1968_

I'd imagine there have been quite a few package upgrades since then.

VMware's flagship vSphere now in never-ending beta, if you're up for it

Yes. Various dates for various tools, but vSphere 6.7U1 in 2018 was feature complete HTML5 interface.

Everything else that used flash has other various dates, but I assume that is the big one you want.

Cisco restores evidence of its funniest FAIL – ethernet cable presses switch's reset button

Re: I hate those boots with a passion

Double down on this.

I have to start jamming screw drivers in there in order to get some of the stiff plastic to release. Although I have ended up with unsuable switch ports because I couldn't get one of those stupid cables out of the port without more destruction than I wanted to attempt.

I've never had a tab break off unless I was trying to yank it back through 10'++ of tray.

In that case, I usually destroy the cable anyway, because screw it, my time is too valuable to sit and unbraid a single cable at a time through the tray. Just snip the end, pull it through, buy another.

It seems like its only there to pacify people that they spent $25 on this one cable it must last forever and reused 1000 times. Instead, buy 25 of the $1 cable and have extra on hand.

Dell ‘exploring’ VMware spin-off, insists they must keep their special relationship

Re: Cool, cool

VMware works extremely well for those that are willing to pay the cost. I think there's a lot of options out there now-a-days for those that don't. I have a handful of other hosted VPS boxes out there that get forced rebooted a couple times of year each due to some problem or the other.

I'm not sure what you mean about their management being wonky behind a VPN, that's how I access our datacenters every day. No difference vs my local lab.

Anything needing windows for management is ancient history. Its all linux (proton) boxes all the way down.

vmotion is speedy.

So, sounds like you're remembering back a decade (ie. release time of VMware 3.x) and how much slower servers and networks were back then.

When a deleted primary device file only takes 20 mins out of your maintenance window, but a whole year off your lifespan

Re: Speaking about the f*ing manual...

It makes me chuckle to see the colo people in other cages oh so carefully label and string up the server keys, paired with each server, to make sure they don't get the mixed up...

When Dell only changes out the lock/key type every 5-10 years or so and I have a bucket of keys that would fit any of their servers depending on how far down deep you want to dig for it.

Got $50k spare? Then you can crack SHA-1 – so OpenSSH is deprecating flawed hashing algo in a 'near-future release'

Re: Old devices

Because of this and other deprecated ssh stuff, it forces me to keep around old systems, with all updates turned off so that I can still get into old gear that doesn't have any upgrade path but is still in use.

The alternative is to turn telnet back on and telnet into them. :-(

Source code for seminal adventure game Zork circa-1977 exhumed from MIT tapes, plonked on GitHub

Odd? We already had this?

The original MDL source to Zork has been out for a number of years.

Ie. see this github repo

https://github.com/itafroma/zork-mdl

Perhaps this is signifigant as to be closer to the epicenter.

I believe the main problem right now is that there isn't a original MDL compiler extant that can handle compiling this code, although I believe there was some work to create a MDL compiler that can handle this code.

Firefox to burn FTP out of its browser, starting slowly in version 77 due in April

Re: "FTP is an insecure protocol and there are no reasons to prefer it over HTTPS"

I use FTP all the time in a variety of forms (if you want to call sftp doing FTP, but also use FTPS quite often).

Granted, I _never use_ a web browser to do FTP, I have a dedicated FTP client on the various platforms I use. It is extremely handy to move files in and out of disparate environments.

I wouldn't care if Firefox drops FTP support, if you want to use FTP, use a dedicated client.

Surge in home working highlights Microsoft licensing issue: If you are not on subscription, working remotely is a premium feature

Re: The most simple way is not mentioned here?

Linux seems to have a lot more support than you think. Linux anyconnect download is here

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286281283/type/282364313/release/4.8.03036

If you have something not-cisco, and don't have to do proprietary Cisco wrapped up SSLVPN that anyconnect is, Linux has a plethera of options for IPSec VPNs. IPSec is IPsec. While there are many options, there are also many solutions.

There are many RDP clients that work well on linux. I don't think anybody would tend to think VNC is the only option. My main day-to-day RDP option is built ontop of FreeRDP that works better than the Microsoft RDP client on windows.

Of course that still doesn't account for the RDP client license that Microsoft will make you get because you aren't using their desktop OS that conveniently bundles said license with it. Also a Microsoft auditor will come in and inform you that if there is any chance of non-windows desktops ever connecting, that you'll need to buy RDP client licenses for everybody "just-in-case".

Microsoft's latest cloud innovation: Printing

Re: Windows 365 Cloud ?

Microsoft maintains their own, and all the big email players have moved to their own inhouse filtering/RBL. External filters and RBLs are only in use by companies that haven't migrated into one of the big players.

OOTH, Microsoft's Postmaster services actually can clear out blocks if you know how to work their system (which is draconianly difficult). As opposed to say, Google, which tosses their hands up in the air and say maybe it'll clear in a day, week, month, we dunno.

Anybody putting something in front of the Microsoft setup is probably not using it right as designed, which requires end users training it (ie. flagging SPAM, moving HAM out of SPAM folders, etc). Many users don't want to bother training their SPAM filter, so they throw something else in front.

Death and taxis: Windows has had enough of clinging to a cab rooftop in the London rain

I just wonder at what point that these software companies making signage think that a windows license is worth the cost of deploying these, and all the baggage that goes along with it.

I'd have thought everyone would flock to a linux digital signage or something with loads less license fees; although looking at the digital signage market, the license fees are not cheap, and the ones I've seen in the wild haven't been any more stable than windows anyway. There was one by my car park that turned from a bulletin board to a digital sign, back to a bulletin board for like 6 months until they finally seemed able to fix it again. I'm sure they were glad that they paid all that $$ so we have a nice smooth screen to tape their paper printouts to again.

Firefox, you know you tapped Cloudflare for DNS-over-HTTPS? In January, it briefly knackered two root servers at the heart of the internet

The author of the article doesn't quite seem to understand the nature of the setup of the root nameservers.

There aren't only 13 root-servers. There are over a thousand root-servers arranged in 13 clusters, each cluster run mostly by different organizations (yea diversity)

They are anycast, so that your connection will connect to the "closest" one as BGP routing determines. If an organization does do maintenance on a few of the the root-servers, they'll stop doing the BGP anycast announcements so that traffic no longer hits that particular server(s) that is under maintenance.

So, technology much like the global content server networks like CloudFlare, Akamai, Edgecast, etc. run the root-servers as well.

Admins beware! Microsoft gives heads-up for 'disruptive' changes to authentication in Office 365 email service

Re: Dum question

Yes. Older Outlook clients have a crappy IMAP implementation, most people used POP email with them to stay sane. Many others just chose it as default.

That method of deleting email is only the _default_ for POP (vs. IMAP where the default is not to delete). You can have your POP email client do a variety of options for download & delete, or delete on a schedule, etc. etc depending on options you tick.

There definitely have been outages I've noticed on my work email.

They must have just lined up with your usage not requiring access at that particular time. Too bad that wasn't the case for me.

Apple drops a bomb on long-life HTTPS certificates: Safari to snub new security certs valid for more than 13 months

Re: I understand

>> As for lets-encrypt - I set it up for someone almost a year ago, and haven't had to get involved since. The renewals are automated.

Unless you routinely update your code packages (ie. installed the package from a PPA or make sure to go get the newest code from their github), the certbot client from two years ago isn't going to work after this summer when they disable ACME v1 as well.

So, not quite plug and forget.

Virtualization juggernaut VMware hits the CPU turbo button for licensing costs

Re: vSphere vs Hyper-V

The only people running Hyper-V are the ones in the simplest setup possible.

If you are serious, and have the full SCVMM cluster setup, Hyper-V has already torn your guts out with its issues and problems.

The only shops I've touched that are happy with Hyper-V are single-host virtualizing a few guests. Very happy with the price. Aren't big enough to care about full on clustering, moving VMs from host to host, etc.

Everybody else in the cluster realm can't wait to get rid of it.

Take DOS, stir in some Netware, add a bit of Windows and... it's ALIIIIVE!

Or the limits of the chip and systems of the era.

The PC was started being designed in an era when 4k was in common use, and was released with 16k as the entry level point when the hardware was ready. It used the 8088 chip, which could address a max of 1MB, and IBM needed room to map the BIOS, video, etc. into the upper areas of the memory map, which was common in that era before virtual memory mapping chips became defacto. That is the 640k dividing line, at a point of 40 times the memory that the base unit shipped at. Even if they had it higher, the BIOS and slots still needed to be mapped in somewhere in the 1MB space that was the max the 8088 could address.

The Apple II had similar design constraints from an earlier time, but nobody goes on about the 48k limit of its design until they did some bank switching on the ][+ to get that extra 16kb of RAM or more on the //e and //c.

XMS 2.0 wasn't done until 1988, (seven years after the PC was released).

Even when PCs were shipping with 80286's, which could address a whopping 16MB of RAM, most PCs of the time didn't have more than 1MB of memory.

By the time the 80386 came out, and things could address lots of memory, it was the software lagging behind, with most people insisting on running MS-DOS of the era of 16k machines.

Windows server software required CAL licenses from the start. The big difference between Netware and MS is MS didn't _enforce_ license count, whereas Netware did.

After years of MS making it near impossible to actually figure out how to properly count, license or even buy said CAL licenses to be properly licensed, just about every windows user punted and didn't care.

Most people buying file servers compared the properly licensed cost from Netware against a vaguely licensed MS Server, or perhaps CALs didn't even come up in the conversation. Once the rollout went out and they weren't counted, audited, or were anywhere to be found, it was instant conversion over.

OSX upgrades had the vendors abandond almost every scanner made for OSX in the past.

My Fuji Scansnap used to bring me smiles using it about just how well it ran, which changed overnight to one of the most frustrating things I own after OSX got upgraded.

VueScan can handle the older hardware when the makers all abandoned it. I'm not sure its at a level of bringing me smiles, but at least it is functional.

Snakes on a wane: Python 2 development is finally frozen in time, version 3 slithers on

More lazyness than anything

The differences between Python3 and Python2 are pretty minimal overall in terms of language design. More like lets get rid of the bad decisions we made 30 years ago so we can move forward.

I think PHP changes much more rapidly with much greater impact from version to version.

I think the reason people stuck with Python2 so long is because they had zero incentive to look at Python3, and so they kept on the same path. To them, Python3 was much like Perl6, some distant far off thing that will never come about. So its good that the Python foundation finally set a firm date to decommission python2 and promote python3 as the future.

iFixit surgeons dissect Apple's pricey Mac Pro: Industry standard sockets? Repair diagrams? Who are you and what have you done to Apple?

Re: you can’t just swap in a drive from Crucial

Surprisingly few 3rd party vendors for weird Apple proprietary flash. Just one that I know of, OWC has replacements for the trash can, and MBP/MBA flash drives.

They most likely will have replacements for the 2019 MacPro as well (already a category on their website).

I do wish Apple switched over to the "standard" version of the products after they pioneered the stick form factor, but they keep on with their own thing for some vendor lock.

Thankfully that is a very small percentage, but its enough that I need to run Chrome for some of those damn work SaaS offerings they insist on using.

UK ISPs must block access to Nintendo Switch piracy sites, High Court rules

Re: Pointless

One reason that there is a flag domain name an ISP can implement to have browsers opt out of DNSoH negotiation by browser at the start.

That doesn't prevent an advanced user from implementing their own DNS setup, just like now. But due to measures like this, DNSoH is going to probably be flagged by all ISPs in UK and other places that require these blocks.

Pat Gelsinger vows to upgrade VMware's once 'bad' open-source rep to the 'very' best by 2021

Re: vSphere

Current versions of vSphere is fully HTML5, and new features only go into the H5 client.

The flash client is deprecated, and strongly points you over to the H5 interface with banners or notices telling you the flash client is deprecated. The HTML5 has been complete for a few years.

While not all VMware products are flash free yet, they are well on their way, at least on the newer versions.

I don't think vSphere 7.0 is slated to be completely rid of the flash client, but it could be by the time it rolls out.

10G switches are the base standard in the data center now-a-days? We've been deploying 10G ones with 40G uplinks for some years already. 25G switches (with 100G uplinks) look to be the upcoming base standard soon. These are basic datacenters, not 400G/100G spline-and-leaf monsters. I don't see them dropping 1G as a supported option as one needing the bandwidth, but just reflecting the base level in the datacenter switching now-a-days. VMware is targeting datacenters, not a small company. I'd have thought the pricing alone would have cut out all the small companies.

You don't have to use NSX if you don't want. We don't deploy NSX in our management clusters.

A lot of the tools are there to provide options. The basic VMware Hypervisor is there just the same. You use the tools that work for you. If you need options in NSX, then use it. If not, you'll probably need external boxes to do that function, same as in the past. You'll lose some of the distributed nature of NSX then. Likewise, don't use VSAN? You'll still need external shared storage.

You seem a bit all over, if you are worried about VCSP Standard going away (5 point rental), you can't be using any thing beyond the basics, as you don't get VDS with Standard, and *anything* advanced (ie NSX, VSAN, etc. etc. etc) all requires VDSs on Enterprise Plus (7 point rental) plans. I think the only time we deployed VCSP 5 point rental ones were for private cloud customers with two hosts and two networks. (ie. the most basic which probably were better served with other solutions anyway).

What is it with hosting firms being stonewalled by Microsoft? Now it's Ionos on naughty step

Re: Active / Passive redundancy?

An ISP can't just switch IPs out of the blue, you have to warm up new IP addresses, by sending a tiny fraction of the email through, to push your legit to spam ratio up higher and higher, all the while the larger providers will start accepting more and more email from your new IP addresses as long as that ratio is maintained well.

You also have to keep email flowing from time to time through your new warmed up IP addresses, or they will grow cold again, and you start over from scratch.

Finally, if you start ping ponging around, and you haven't taken care of your internal compromised accounts/systems that are the problem, and Microsoft/Google/Yahoo notices you doing this ping-ponging, you are much more likely to get whole swaths of your IP space banned instead of individual servers.

Microsoft blocked TSO Host's email IPs from Hotmail, Outlook inboxes and no one seems to care

Large mail providers run their own blacklists

None of the large mail providers depend on SORBS or the other public RBLs now-a-days, they have their own internal RBL system that they use (seeing the viability and usability of the RBLs out there, I don't blame them).

Thus you have to deal with each on their own terms. And deal with each large mail provider on their own. Most like Comcast or Yahoo keep you on the block list for some short period, see if you are still sending SPAM and if you are, will renew the blocks. If they see the rate down, you get auto-delisted.

So if the rate of SPAM in Microsoft SNDS stays up in the red zone, you are unlikely to get cleared.

Running an ISP mail provider, I find most blocklists are fair, although Microsoft's is the longest to wait and deal with. The appeal process is also backwards (ie. you have to reply to the ticket that says in no uncertain terms do not reply to this ticket). But usually if the auto-delist system hasn't cleared after your SNDS rate has fallen, appealing to the ticket usually gets good results through them. I see a few appeals on mailop, but most of them haven't gone through the proper normal steps that Microsoft has laid down.

They don't seem capricious or arbitrary to me. They really do make sure you are on the ball with your own rate limiters and compromised account detectors.

Get ready for a literal waiting list for European IPv4 addresses. And no jumping the line

IPv6 is here

IPv6 is here. Any business ISP can get you IPv6 connectivity. Many residential ISPs do it by default (but granted not all).

There is much gear that supports IPv6 natively.

What doesn't do IPv6? People. Especially Enterprise/Business Techs.

That is the number one factor. They see no need. They don't bother learning. They don't bother doing. "I don't need it, I don't want it, I don't use it." Stick their head in the sand, no problems here, no need to do anything.

Just about everyone on their smart phone has fully IPv6 connectivity right now.

My home ISP does IPv6. My mom's home ISP does IPv6, and her computer is fully IPv6 connected without her knowledge.

But in 99% of the enterprise businesses I deal with, even though they could enable IPv6 on their firewall and do it, they do not. They see no need, so they don't enable it.

So ISPs have to go to extraordinary measures, like enabling CGNAT. I do not know how much time I've spent dealing with CGNAT issues. Constant breakage. Constantly dealing with slow downs, and all the rate limiting they have to do on their gateways. I tell the customer to get away from the ISP that has to do CGNAT. They don't. I tell them lets try IPv6, and see if all the content you want can be gotten natively. They don't.

I think the only event that will force enterprise adoption of IPv6 is if Facebook or Slack went IPv6 only. That might make the people learn quickly.

Why would anybody believe that a different protocol than IPv6 that will take another 20 years to adopt would do any better? Anything that makes people change what they are doing is not going to be adopted unless it is done for them.

Backup your files with CrashPlan! Except this file type. No, not that one either. Try again...

This isn't a change?

Crashplan has always filtered on file extensions like this. I've been using it for over a decade. This isn't anything new? Maybe they hid it better in the past, but now the true nature comes out on some level of setup.

One thing they do well is continuous backup, changed files get backed up quickly, rather than on a snapshot schedule like most everybody else.

OOTH, its hard to believe they'll be in business with how they are turning away their core users. They want to sell to businesses, but won't support servers?

They want to turn into a security monitor DLP solution, but I don't know of anybody that wants a DLP unless its a compliance box to check.

Apple bestows first hardware upgrades in years upon neglected iPad Mini and Air lines

Use it for what it is designed for..

The end of the article seems to go off as Chromebooks are better.

The iPad and Chromebooks are designed for two totally different types of usage.

Many people don't understand this.

The iPad is designed as a content consumption device. Watch movies, play games, read ebooks. web browsing, etc.

Chromebooks are designed as cheap throw away laptops. If you want to do things that a laptop does, write code, term papers, then a chromebook would be better. I don't understand people trying to make iPads into laptops, this kinda of works with lots of hurdles. Then people go and slam on the hurdles trying to shoehorn the wrong device into the wrong task. Apple kinda follows along and tries to enable this to happen, but with their sandbox, this is never going to be the same as a laptop.

But they work great to consume media. Hand an iPad to a 3-year and watch them learn to navigate it in minutes.

Disk drives suck less than they did a couple of years ago. Which is nice

Re: Ah...

Not true, for a while there, almost all Seagate drives (even enterprise ones) were pretty shit.

I had many a NetApp/EMC, etc. etc. that came packed to the gills with Seagate drives, that started regularly failing on a very regular schedule starting just about half a year before the normal warantee period on those drives. I had a Sun Thor (48 SATA 1TB Seagate drives) that probably had lost 70% of its original drives.

The replacements started coming back with Seagate drives, that failed again after replacement.

Pretty soon the replacements starting came back with HGST or sometime Toshiba, and those disks never had to be replaced again.

Sun IPX "server"?

The Sun IPX was never meant to be a server, but a tiny workstation. Typical configuration was something like 40MHz CPU, and 16MB or 32MB of RAM. It came in a tiny "lunchbox" case. (about 1 foot by 1 foot by 8 inches tall).

I doubt a PC era hardware was more powerful, but almost certainly, SunOS was 1000 times more stable and capable then anything running on a PC at the time.

Re: Unplugging the keyboard = kernel panic ?

It wasn't a kernel panic, but the Sun machines had a tough time differentiating between Stop-A and the keyboard being unplugged. Stop-A was a means to break out into the rommon to debug the kernel, and was reasonably difficult to preform, and was introduced into an era when machines were built to be serviced by kernel systems programmers to find kernel bugs. Then continued on long past the day when this was useful.

It was just unfortunate that the Stop-A procedure was confused a bunch by the keyboard being unplugged too.

Dead retailer's 'customer data' turns up on seized kit, unencrypted and very much for sale

How's this different than normal?

By the time a company is liquidated, anybody left there gives zero ***cks to what happens to anything left over, data, sensitive info, etc?

I've cleaned out offices with tax forms, W-2's, etc. all left behind. This is normal.

I've also bought 2nd hand filers from liquidated companies with full data still left on them. Source code, CAD drawings, records, etc. etc. Bought network gear with full configs (SNMP communities are always fun) still left on them, etc.

Not many liquidators would have the means, knowledge or time to make sure things are securely wiped, and if it has come down to the end, its doubtful anybody still left at a company does either. They are the cleanup crew, get it out, get it gone. who cares.
