En me baladant sur le net ce midi, je suis retombé sur la site web de mon tout premier emploie.
La Maison des Etudiants (1991-2003) était une association d’aide aux étudiants, qui grâce aux emplois jeunes, entre autre fournissait divers service aux étudiants adhérants de l’association. Notament les copies et l’informatique (principalement ce de quoi je m’occuper):
J’y étais entre 2001 et 2003, et l’expérience était pour le moins formateur,
-Premier Boulot
-Premier Linux
-Premiers projets aussi
Vers la fin j’avais même fait un premier déploiement sur les posts disponibles ‘grand public’, qui aurait pu être pire point de vue désastre .
Malheureusement, pile au moment où mon Emploi Jeunes arrivait à term, la fac à décider de faire couler l’asso pour reprendre l’activité, et c’est ainsi que s’est terminé une expérience que je n’oublirai sans doute jamais.
Un coucou à tout ceux qui se reconnaîtront de cette époque (y compris l’Afev et Velocampus, dés assos nés de la MDE et qui battent toujours de leurs propres ailes): Xavier, Claire, Laurent….
I’ve just been testing an install CD for enkix, our custom Debian installer, to make sure it works next week when I re-install some servers in Paris.
The problem is that our datacenter lacks a dhcp server (everythings static), whereas I had never tested enkix using static IPs before (all installs were done at the office).
Vmware was my poison of choice for this task, since it offers sevral network parameters: Bridged networking using the offices DHCP, net using it’s own DHCP, and a host only network using…. it’s own DHCP. Hmm… and what happens if you just don’t like DHCP? What if you want everything static? Or if you prefer Avahi? Or, as is in my case, you’re testing for a DHCP-less environment and DHCP is the last thing you want?
After a few fruitless searches on the web, the solution was revealed by probing /etc/vmware. In the network sub directories (vmnet0-vmnet8), those which have a DHCP server have a dhcp sub directory, the others don’t.
Solution: Just create a natted vmnet, then pop into the corresponding directory, rm -rf dhcp and /etc/init.d/vmware restart, problem solved.
One last thing: if you do this, please make a note of the network parameters before hand, since it’s always some funny value like 192.168.28.x
A quick post to share a find someone sent me today on the necessity to go IPV6
And for those interested, I also managed to gat ahold of the lyrics:
A long long time ago i can still remeber when my labtop could connect elswhere and i tell you all there was a day the network card i threw away had a purpose – and worked for you and me But 18 years complety wasted
with each adress we´ve aggregated the tables overflowing the traffic just stopped flowing
And now we´re bearing all the scars and all the traceroutes showing stars the packets would travel faster in cars… the day… the routers died
————- Chorus ( ALL ) So bye bye , folks at RIPE 55 be persuaded zo upgrade it or your network will die
Ipv6 just makes me let out a sight But i spose we´d better give it a try I suppose we´d better give it a try
———
Now did you write an RFC That dictated how we all should be Did we listen like we should that day Now were you back at RIPE fifty-four Where we heard the same things month before And people knew they´d have to change their ways… And we – knew that all ISPs Could be – future proof for centuries But that was then not now Spend too much time playing WOW ooh there was time we sat on IRC making jokes on how this day would be Now there´s no more use for TCP they day the routers died
————- Chorus ( chime in now ) So bye bye , folks at RIPE 55 be persuaded zo upgrade it or your network will die Ipv6 just makes me let out a sight But i spose we´d better give it a try I suppose we´d better give it a try
———
i remember those old days i mourn Sitting in my room , downloading porn Yeah that´s how it used to be… When the packets flowed from A to B via routers that could talk IP there was data… that could be exchanged between you and me…
Oh but- i could see you all ignore The fact – we´d fill up IPv4 But we all lost the nerve And we goz what we deserved ! And while… we threw our network kit away And wished we´d heard the things they say Put all our lives in disarray the day … the routers died
————- Chorus ( those silent will be shot ) So bye bye , folks at RIPE 55 be persuaded zo upgrade it or your network will die Ipv6 just makes me let out a sight But i spose we´d better give it a try I suppose we´d better give it a try
———
Saw a man with whom i used to peer Asked him to rescue my career He just sighed and turned away I went down to the net cafe that I used to visit everyday But the man there said i might as well just leave
And now we´ve all lost our purpose my cisco shares completely worthless No future meetings for me At Hotel Krasnapolsky and me that make us push and push Like Geoff Huston and Rady Bush Should´ve listened to what they told us…. The day… the routers. died
————- Chorus ( time to loose your voice ) So bye bye , folks at RIPE 55 be persuaded zo upgrade it or your network will die Ipv6 just makes me let out a sight But i spose we´d better give it a try I suppose we´d better give it a try
Like a lot of people, I enjoy putting my day to music with Internet radio.
Unfortunately, some people want to impose crippling charges on webcasters, infinitely more than their hertzien cousins who have much deeper pockets.
In order to protest, to day has been proclaimed a ‘Day of Silence’ when internet radio shuts off. If you care about internet broadcasters, please show your support on http://www.savenetradio.org/.
