.. or they'll switch to stuff with a really free (as in speech) license like the BSD, where people can do whatever they want without fear of litigation from bearded penguins.
I use the router for the network to do it (which is actually one of the switches, with routing support). These are hand-me-down Cisco 3550 that are no longer up to running the production network, mostly because they're not gigglebit switches. Redundancy is less important, since this is the backup for the production network, so no reason to spend a fortune on gear. Obviously someone needs to set up the very first device that goes in by hand, but that can be done from the comfort of the office before sending the box to the datacenter. We use console servers on a third network, set up to let the network people access the network gear's console if everything else is dead. Backup for the backup of the backup:)
Even if you went the way of serial consoles for your servers, you'd need equipment to do it. Our Avocent Cyclades boxes are a lot more expensive than the old Cisco gear we would've at most have gotten $50 for when traded in for new gear. Even then, you'd need network gear for your console servers. How do you set up the console servers without a console?
DHCP works nicely, and even allows for redundancy if you want. HP SIM takes care of tracking which IP is which, but you could easily set up a script to poll the web server on each iLO card for the serial number to keep an inventory of them.
Raritan is way behind iLO Advanced in every way, but even basic iLO beats it if all you need is the console of a text-only box which covers the majority of my Unix systems. If you do need the extra features, iLO Advanced costs a lot less than a raritan switch and dongle.
Neither solution presents anything as serial, but very few people actually want that. They all have an ethernet connection, separate from the regular ethernet jack, that you can string to a dedicated iLO/RAC switch. If your production network then dies, you can reach the console through your backup network. This backup network is quite possibly where you'd have placed your serial console servers anyway.
I don't know about prices for Dell, but HP comes with basic iLO for free, allowing text console, power on/off and a few other features. The upgrade to Advanced iLO costs very little and gives you graphical console, remote media (virtual floppy and DVD) and a few more.
Raritan is miles behind iLO in terms of usability. The only reason to use that is if you have a bunch of old junk that doesn't have iLO.
Unfortunately, i suspect that they specifically made it completely crazy so they could "cave" on a few horrible points and get the rest of the senseless agreement through.
Don't stop writing your congresscritters, MEPs or whoever else will (pretend to) listen!
Ah, i forgot the file formats. ASCII will not be going away any time soon either. If you pick anything that's nicely documented and supported and you'll surely be able to find something to read it in 20 years. ODF might not be a bad choice, OOXML probably not too bad either, but things like tex and HTML will certainly work for quite a while and are easily converted to whatever new format you'll want.
And all of this is the reason you keep the stuff on spinning rust and move it to newer media as you upgrade stuff. Also, DVD-R will last you quite a while since they'll most likely be readable in the GreenRay drives of 2017.
Expecting a single piece of technology to just work for 50 years is just silly. Everybody in the storage world knows that you have to refresh media regularly - even for shorter time spans. Data with a retention of 10 years is often rewritten once or twice during its life time and will most likely exist in several copies.
I pay the same for a liter of gas today as i did two years ago, just like most countries who don't use USD. Many processed products that are primarily traded in USD have actually gotten cheaper for us.
The price of some crops have risen, though. Beer is getting more expensive.
If they were configured to self-destruct, this would be much easier. Just send junk to all of them and watch them disappear:)
I know this has been done with some other bots that hung out on IRC channels. An oper would lurk in the channel and wait to see the password being used, then when he got it would use it to make all of the bots uninstall themselves, then brace himself for the incoming DDoS his server would receive shortly after that from the pissed off script kiddie saw what happened:)
You can use SRTP. It's been available in many VoIP implementations for years. For lawful interception, the call controller (cisco call manager or such) usually holds the key to the stream, but if you're in control of both ends and the controller, you're safe.
Nope, if they just let the domain expire, it would have caused the.org authoritative servers to die. It's been done already, shortly after they first shut down the service, causing them to open it a again, responding that everything is ham.
If the ordb.org zone goes away, every halfwit mail admin who uses ordb.org will be hammering the.org servers instead. This is why it was first reenabled and now shut down the way it is.
I would like to point out that i am unhappy about HD-DVD losing the war, but since i can't do a thing to change it, i now own a PS3. The PS3 is right now the only player physically capable of playing every profile, but of course comes with other annoying limitations.
The HD war will definitely end up with all customers on the losing side, no matter when they jumped on the wagon and which side they picked.
It seems they've added the filter as ordered by the court, but are now coming back to jam a big boot up the backsides of APG. I hope that they get the support they need from all of the other ISPs so we can stop this nonsense.
