You have 2 system firewall packages installed, iptables and iptables-nft, they are in conflict

Uninstall one of them

This is IDE or PATA

You can find IDE to SATA adapters online.

Edit: just realized how old I am now :(

Where's the weirdest place you've used a laptop? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] nixx@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

It wasn’t as dramatic as it sounds honestly. I was going down the service ladder and had to stop and test the cable halfway through.

My manager at the time turned white as a sheet when he found out I did that.

I second Mailcow. I use it on a residential IP and have a smarthost for relaying in/out since my isp blocks port 25.

For relay, I use mxroute.com, I have a lifetime account and Mailcow has a fetchmail option.

If you are concerned about TruNAS, go look at Xigmanas. This is the original FreeNAS project before iX acquired the name.

YSK the voter protection hotline phone number for your state if you witness any voter intimidation or harassment if you are voting in person. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Not American, and couldn’t find a non-partisan resource, but here goes:

https://democrats.org/civic-engagement-and-voter-protection/

Our voter hotline exists to answer questions that cannot be easily answered online. The hotline is monitored by DNC employees who are prepared to field questions pertaining to felon disenfranchisement, voter purging, poll worker misconduct, voter machines, and accessibility. The hotline regularly operates on weekdays from 9:00am-6:00pm EST/EDT, and expands to both weekdays and weekends from 9:00am-9:00pm EST/EDT starting in October during election years.

Based on your .nl, I will assume you are tall, ride a bike everywhere, and love cheese. But I’m sure some yank will find something offensive to call you. Just be patient.

So for the first time we don’t get lumped in with the yanks, we get lumped in with the Brits instead???

We just can’t win.

Creating a local VMwae software mirror using aac-lib/vsm (lemmy.ca)
 

I needed to have a local mirror of VMware software, and logging into my.vmware.com, downloading, and then uploading was becoming tiresome.

I tried the VMware software solution, but:

  1. Windows only
  2. Borke all the time.

Then I found this:

Texiwill/aac-lib

It needs several packages pre-installed, but it mostly takes care of everything, as of now, it is running on a CentOS machine, the following script is running via cron daily, you will need to git pull acc-lib first.

#!/bin/bash
#
_USERNAME="my vmware account"
_PASSWORD="my vmware password"

cd ~aac-lib/vms
git pull

for _REPO in $(cat ~/vmware-repos.txt) 
do
  ./vsm.sh -c -y -nc --symlink --fav $_REPO -u $_USERNAME -p $_PASSWORD
done

Content of the vmware-repos.txt are similar to this, if you run vsm.sh you will understand the naming convention

Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_Tools_12_x_VMware_Tools
Datacenter_Cloud_Infrastructure_VMware_vSphere_8_0_Enterprise_Plus
Infrastructure_Operations_Management_VMware_vRealize_Log_Insight_8_8

And here is a sample .vsmrc to get you started, I put everything in /data, which is a separate partition of about 4TB at the moment:

repo='/data/vmware-content'
cdir='/data/vmwarevsmxml'
symlink=1

I then export the vmware-content directory via a web server, just a nginx with FancyIndexing enabled, and also via NFS and FTP.

If you need more details, ask away.

I have been using this for a couple of years now, it rarely fails me.

I will be happy to hand it over to any mods from r/vmware
