DSC Syntax for Binary Registry Key For the most part the solution suggested by Matthew Whetmore worked… but if the data starts with "00", somehow it is getting dropped. For e.g. for this data: $ reg = "00,01,04,80,64,00,00,00,70,00,00,00,00,00,00,00, 14,00,00,00,02,00,50,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,18,00,03,00,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00, 00,00,05,20,00,00,00,20,02,00,00,00,00,18,00,03,00,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00, 00,05,20,00,00,00,25,02,00,00,00,00,18,00,03,00,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00, 05,20,00,00,00,27,02,00,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00,01,01,00,00, 00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00" the first set of 00 gets dropped when DSC adds it toRead more

Currently I have a number of Ubuntu 18.04 machines on a local network without internet access configured on chrony to refer to look up to one of them as the "master" as synchronize to it. What I would also like to achieve though is that if these machines are not connected to this local networkRead more

I have compiled the latest version of OpenSSL 1.1.1k on Debian Buster. ./config make sudo make install However when I check the version, I realise only the tool has been updated and not the underlying library. What am I missing please? > openssl version OpenSSL 1.1.1k 25 Mar 2021 (Library: OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019)Read more

In an embedded system using linux it is required to ignore ICMP broadcasts. This device IP set to 192.168.0.34/25, so the broadcast will be 192.168.0.127. The flag controlling this behaviour icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts is correclty set to 1 When an ICMP echo request with source IP 192.168.0.127 is sent, I would expect this request to be ignoredRead more

I need to bootstrap 5 etcd containers onto a single node (temporary measure, eventually they’ll have their own nodes). I’m not sure of the best way to go about it, I’ve tried many ways, with no success. The etcd nodes will talk with patroni services on other VMs. Here’s what I’ve tried: I’ve built dockerRead more

We are building a MOOC website where we have courses, chapters, sections and content. We have video content and we are thinking if we should cache video files just like we are caching js files. Is it a good practice, to cache video(mp4) files in browser cache, in terms of bandwidth usage and performance? IRead more

I mean, when i tape from the windows machine : ssh user@10.10.1.16 , i don’t need to tape the password of user and directlyRead more

I don’t think this is currently possible, but I’ll give it a shot. VNET “main” contains subnets “A” and “B”. Subnet A contains VM A1. Subnet B contains VMs B1 and B2. By default (even with an NSG applied to the subnet) everything in both subnets can talk to each other because of the standardRead more

I have a BackupPC RSync job that is not completing on a new server. The job just times out after signal ALRM. I increased the time out to 288000, but it will still time out and doesn’t appear to ever really start backing anything up at all as it will still be at 0 ofRead more
