Mood, Proprietary software

Hellish 

Hell must be full of Microsoft servers that must be administered and reinstalled over and over again. I thought of being non proficient in Ms administration since I tried for two full days to install SQL server 2008 on a freshly installed Windows server 2008. I discovered that a whole-life all-Microsoft professional is no better…

Black magic

I’m considering to move my personal cloud from OwnCloud to NextCloud. Then you read those build instructions. Building on Linux Run: mkdir build-linux cd build-linux cmake -D OEM_THEME_DIR=`pwd`/../nextcloudtheme ../client make make install Building on OSX Attention: When building make sure to use an old Core 2 Duo build machine running OS X 10.10. Otherwise the…

windows-subsystem-for-linuxWindows Subsystem for Linux

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a compatibility layer for running Linuxbinary executables (in ELF format) natively on Windows 10. Microsoft and Canonical partnered together to enable a genuine UbuntuTrusty Tahr image to be downloaded and extracted to the user’s local machine, and for the tools and utilities contained within that image to run natively on top of the WSL.

Some people may say that we’re at step four:

  1. First they ignore you,
  2. Then they laugh at you,
  3. Then they fight you,

Dear VMWare, why do you keep telling me that my newly registered and freshly activated account is inactive?

Activate Your My VMware Account

You must activate your My Vmware account before you can log in. To activate your account, open the confirmation email sent when you registered for your account and click the link in the email.

If you have already activated your account and think you may have received this page in error, click Back to log in again or close your browser and try again.

I can tolerate being forced to use a couple of times your proprietary software – paid by my employer. I also acknowledge that it’s not the latest release.

Just let me tell you that finding «vSphere Remote Command Line» for GNU/Linux is just a pain, as the link you provided into your own ESXi 4 is hopelessly broken.

Mildly put using your website is a severely suboptimal experience.

Greetings.

According to Debian #Debian Bug report logs for “786909 – chromium: unconditionally downloads binary blob” Chromium even when built from source code still try to inject binary blobs – proprietary software – on your system without…
