Network device tester/packet generator
by Aarno Aukia 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Inspired by a thread on cisco-nsp ( https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/2008-October/055260.html) I was wondering if there was network device testing/packet generating equipment (be it a Spirent SmartBits or Agilent N2X (thanks for sponsoring Swinog-13)or anything similar) to borrow/for rent in the swinog community ? Until now I've mostly used iperf et al to test equipment - what are your opinions and experiences regarding testing/troubleshooting/benchmarking network equipment ? Best regards (and until next week at Swinog-17), Aarno -- Atrila GmbH Aarno Aukia 0764000464

why doesn't someone create a public Skype chat for SwiNOG? I think more people on this list have skype than IRC client software (me, for example :-) ----- Original Message ---- > From: Boris Meyer <boris(a)imp.ch> > To: swinog(a)swinog.ch > Sent: Monday, October 6, 2008 3:51:20 PM > Subject: Re: [swinog] IRC Server dead ? > > > PS: The actual list of all available servers is listed at: > http://irc.subcult.ch > > As a result of a DDoS against the SwissIX IP-Range the prefix of SwissIX > > is at the moment only reachable by its peers. > > > > We are working towards bringing the irc-server back online.

yes, Venty, everyone wants to know what you talk about in your private communications. don't be silly, just use it as any other public communication platform, be it Gmail or internet forums. If you need to transport sensitive data, use secure channels for it. If you need to communicate to few hundred of your contacts, there's not much alternative, because most of them use skype anyway. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Martin Ebnoether <ventilator(a)semmel.ch> > > > Skype is like MSN Messenger, just another ugly overloaded communication > > > tool. if I have to choose between skype and MSN, it's MSN, because there > > > are a lot of opensource and freeware alternatives to the bad Live > > > Messenger from Microschrott, ah Microsoft... :-) > > > > Well, it might be ugly, but at least it works in almost every situation. > > If it would not, they could not sniff into other peoples private > communications.

open source patch to coop and migros
by Zorg 421 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

I'm very much involved in the scene of goumoens-la-ville (doing theatre) and I must admit I don't write enough patches.The first real pride of mine in this area was fixing, well, not really, almost beeing able to fix a bug in... the linux kernel (waouw, tremendous!). it was about a kernel lockup when booting on some hardware. I've spent one night a one day investing, adding printk, recompiling, rebooting, pressing the reset button. it was in the keyboard driver (rocket science, the keyboard driver). Almost came with a patch (after some guidance from some genuinely nice folks on the LK mailing-list) to notice that when connecting both the mouse and the keyboard, not just the keyboard, the problem was solved (ohhh shit almost became famous). I threw away my patch, plugged the mouse, swallowed my pride, and, well, life is not too bad like this either.
