DATAPUISTOKEMISTI

Someone (not me this time) screwed up and while transferring content from old server to new one ended up messing all folder timestamps. Folders now have date when copy was made instead of preserving original dates as intended.

Some notes from my experiments with fetching more than one IP address from DHCP for same physical ethernet adapter. Nothing too difficult and you don't even need netns for this, few policy route settings would be enough if dhclient (and especially dhclient-script) wouldn't be so broken. For example dhclient has nasty habit of hijacking udp/68 on all network interfaces rather than only those it controls. There's also issues in some cases due routing when DHCP server is not on local LAN but behind WAN like it's in corporate and ISP networks.

I recently posted how to update Wyze Z90D7 to latest available Windows firmware. Which is far from usable. Let's see how Ubuntu works on this hardware. Actual flavour I picked is Lubuntu, but hardware support should be same for all. TL;DR: What a piece of shit this is, don't waste your time just toss it to bin already.

I recently found old decommissioned Wyse Z90D7 Windows Terminal. Old BIOS, messed up OS, etc. So exactly how do I update this thing without all those complex management systems and active Wyse support contract?

My B593s had ancient Sonera branded firmware that has DNS issues when IPv6 is active. At least IPv6 reverse queries stall causing long delays. There's some rumors going that Sonera provides updated firmware over-the-air, but I couldn't trigger update despite trying hard. Might be because I was using Elisa SIM card. Since Elisa does have fairly recent firmware available for download I thought why not use Elisa firmware instead - get IPv6 bug fixed, have correct operator settings as default and also future updates should work without extra hacks.

Clean Windows 7 install with latest Office 2013 from Office 365 and latest Skype for Business 2015 (The Application Formerly Known As Lync) also from Office 365. Problem is that "New Skype Meeting" option is missing from Outlook calendar options. There's just empty space where ribbon bar button should be.

Ericsson has manufactured probably millions of faulty 3G WWAN modules that hang after few minutes to few hours of use. There's driver and firmware updates out that may sometimes help but usually only by extending time before hang bit longer.
