Installing VMS in SIMH on Linux | vanalboom dot org

https://vanalboom.org/node/18

Skip to main content. Show — Main menu. Hide — Main menu. Installing VMS in SIMH on Linux. The emulation of choice is SIMH. SIMH supports a ton of different architectures, and one of those is a VAXserver 3900. The good thing about VAX machines is that they didn't have much memory - 16 or 32MB wasn't uncommon - so if we give each of our cluster nodes 64MB, it'll be plenty. With newer SIMH releases (4.0-beta and up) this is no longer necessary. This is the debian network config that I'm using:. Alver@ziff ...

MediaTomb and PS3: The Lazy Man's solution (Part II) | vanalboom dot org

https://vanalboom.org/node/16

Skip to main content. Show — Main menu. Hide — Main menu. MediaTomb and PS3: The Lazy Man's solution (Part II). A while back I did an article on a catch-all solution. Last month I did get me a HDTV finally, and my original transcoding script wasn't ready for it. Last week I finally got me a Boxee Box. In hindsight, there were two crucial things wrong with my original setup:. Transcoding HD content was problematic: transcoding 720p worked (barely! But 1080p was plain impossible, cpu-wise.

Skip to main content. Show — Main menu. Hide — Main menu. Clustering OpenVMS on SIMH. After following the article published earlier. You ended up with two OpenVMS 7.3 systems running on SIMH. VAX emulator instances. Networking was configured, both over DECnet and TCP/IP. Next up: clustering those two systems. Creating the basic cluster. The cluster configuration utility should be ran on both nodes; first on the master, then on the slave. SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER CONFIG LAN.COM Cluster Configuration Proced...

https://vanalboom.org/node/14

Skip to main content. Show — Main menu. Hide — Main menu. MediaTomb and PS3: The Lazy Man's solution. I throw at it. This article has been superseded by a new one. Describing a way to combine transcoding and remuxing for HD content. And lately even plain divx/xvid starts to stutter now and then, seemingly randomly. Ironically, a transcoded mpeg2 stream of 10 times the bandwidth of the source divx plays just fine. Quality loss is - as far as I can tell, and my eyes aren't. My config has YouTube enabled (y...

Skip to main content. Show — Main menu. Hide — Main menu. HPUX and the Quest for a Modern Desktop. Over the years, there have been a good number of decent RISC workstations: DEC, IBM, SGI, Sun and HP all had their time. Nowadays there's hardly any left - pretty much all of the large UNIX manufacturers' workstations have been discontinued. I still have mine though, and I like them too much to let go already. This is the machine I've been using:. Many thanks to Tobias Nygren for making this possible! Usr/l...

Skip to main content. Show — Main menu. Hide — Main menu. Trac, ACLs and OpenLDAP. I'm not a developer, but I like Trac. I like its wiki syntax, and the way you can create a simple, effective ticketing system without a billion options you'll never use anyway. I like how you can disable whole chunks of the system - like the code repository subsystem, which I don't have a use for. It's easy to modify (it's python, after all) and has a billion plugins available. And mod authnz ldap. This LDAP Plugin has som...
