Upgrading
I have an "old and decrepit" install of Shorewall, installed from a Debian package. I''m having a problem, so in order to get support, I''m working on upgrading to the most recent stable version. What I''d like to do, is to test the new version with my configuration files, without actually i...

the Univac 2200, LLVM, and national security
...code generation. We wrote a front-end that parsed Univac instructions and generated IR for them. It all ran on X86-Linux boxes which with some special peripheral adaptors were then plug-in replacements for Univac hardware. You might be wondering what anyone was doing with the very ancient and very decrepit Univac computer, which it turns out is a very interesting question. The problem is that no one at Unisys knows for sure what was being done with Univac computers because it is classified top secret information, no one at Unisys had that clearance, and if they did they couldn’t talk about it. But...

The AIDE section of the Hardening CentOS wiki page
I have recently received an e-mail message regarding the above wiki page. I reproduce it, below, less the header. As I was the last to edit that page, I am mentioned in the details at its foot and that is from where the message author's error originates -- as I'm not the original creator of the page. The broken link is to a section of the blog of Jim "Evolution" Perrin. Are you

wierdness with mailboxes
Mail has always been the bane of my sys-admin life. I've been looking long and hard for a small, C-based, simple IMAP server that worked well with maildirs *and* mboxes and nothing else. wu-imap is so bloated and rife with decrepit, cross-platform, insecure code that I avoid it for any new servers. Courier-imap only supports maildirs but has some wierdnesses that I've come to live with. dovecot promises to be exactly what I'm looking for with just the right footprint and feature-set. =) I was surprised when I tried...

Cisco, Sip, Linux, ISDN
I am one of the few people left in the US with a ISDN connection to the internet. (Internet cable has been promised "Real Soon Now" for a couple years). Worse, my home network runs on a decrepit Cisco 2500 series router, and is double-natted via a firewall, which is why I currently use iax to call anywhere. I have been making ever-increasing use of my asterisk PBX, and I'm ready to switch over to using it as my sole phone management system - but I'm faced today with trying to...

more recent perl version?
...n of a software has been released 20 years ago, Eleven: https://dev.perl.org/perl5/news/2006/perl-5.8.8.html ?which makes it younger than the C89 standard some still stick to over in C land. And younger than C99. And younger than C++-98. And C++-93. By your lights, the C/C++ world is positive decrepit for not immediately tossing everything and insisting on C11 and C++-14. > that doesn?t mean it?s more stable than a version of that > software which is being released today. Actually, it does, provided it?s still being maintained, as Perl 5.8.8 was up to a few months ago. Software that get...

Linux Suggestions
I''m fairly new to Ruby & Rails and I come from a stricly M$ background. I''m trying to move into the world of open source, but I don''t have a good roadmap. I''m starting to develop a Rails-based product and I want to have the option to distribute it to non-hosted customers. So I''ve said all that to say this... I want to learn how to setup linux and
