One of our new members, forget his name, works with proxmox. https://proxmox.com/en/ I have not worked with it, yet I see that it is built upon Debian. Any comments? I thought that it looked interesting. Brian -- Brian Lavender https://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Can anyone recomment any good Docs/Tutorial/Book/Cookbook on Linux networking? I'm finding I'm a little rusty and need a refresher on everything from VM's to mesh and making AP's. Plus things change. I'm not as familiar with ip was I was with the older stuff and it's time to upgrade that too. Step by step with examples would be my preference. But I'll take what is out there.

Apparently, TLS does not start for the mailing list server. I am investigating. Brian -- Brian Lavender https://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Linux job

Check this one out at Gulfstream. It mentions using Linux and python. I like the description where they say gust conditions versus turbulence. That sounds about the equivalent of bending the paper clip once versus continuously bending it back and forth. IIRC, if you bend it into the plastic region of stress, it will eventually break. https://careers.gulfstream.com/job/Savannah-Loads-and-Dynamics-Engineer-GA-…

xen: PV spinlocks enabled
by Brian E. Lavender 25 Jul '26

Kernel says "xen: PV spinlocks enabled". This is in the guest host that I booted paravirtualized. I imagine that this is a reference related to the topic in Thomas Friebel's "Preventing Guests from Spinning Around" https://lwn.net/Articles/289039/ I long had the mistaken assumption that a paravirtualized guest had to have the same version of the kernel running. That hasn't been the case. Brian -- Brian Lavender https://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Yeah, I too kinda I miss ifconfig - but, then, just a couple of days ago I had someone from my ISP tell I just 'Old-Fashion' and that I should get my children to help me out. No, she didn't get the up-sell she wanted and I did politely somewhat snap her head about that remark. Anyway, a few years back I had a similar dilemma and I found some decent YouTube videos on the subject of 'ip'. Videos are pretty much the how-tos these days. *--* *Let it be known that my mind is as quick, sharp and strong as a steel bear trap,* * and it is in no way my fault that it has been left out in the rain, rusting it beyond * *all practical use.too kinda*

Just to close the thread. I got a VPS, Virtual Private Server. I already rent an external web server with hostpapa and adding this "feature" only cost me $3/month. It has a static ip and I use ssh -R to set up the tunnels for inbound traffic. It comes with a naked firewall, and I still need to do that. But so far it does what I need and I can get a standard residential plan and be good. I've already been using systemd to maintain some ssh -R tunnels when I had my own ip. There are a few gotchas, but I have a couple of years of experience with that and it is pretty settled now. I'll just transfer that config to the new VPS. ---- TNX!
