mhtml2html conversion tool

For those of you who have a couple of MHT(ML) files collected on your disk like me: As all viewers seems to be gone these days I needed a way/tool to convert them into a more future-proof format. Unfortunately I couldn't find one, so I've created it myself:

https://gitlab.com/thomas.mc.work/mhtml2html

It has been tested with several input files, from several sites, captured by several clients, including lots of non-standards-compliant parts. So it should be pretty much bullet-proof in the meantime.

Have fun!

lartc gone?

I've been referencing the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO for going on twenty years. Is it gone now? I can't resolve an A record for lartc.org, and archive.org doesn't show a hit since 2020-12-15: https://web.archive.org/web/20201206043311/https://lartc.org/

LibreTech: A free software school

Hi,

​

I am a new/temporary user of reddit. I do not use social media but created this account in order to see if people would be interested in my project. I am currently transforming my website with notes to self about programming to a online school centered around free software/hardware and helping people answer questions such as: how to live a good digital life and how to use technology for oneself and for the good of humanity.

​

You can know more about it at https://libretech.eu/news-libretech-2021/

​

This post retrace the state of the project in 2020, what I want to achieve this year.

​

Nota Bene: In depth content will require a membership, but introductory and most essential content will be accessible to anybody.

​

Thank you.

DMG for Linux

Why Linux doesn't have a simple way to install a software like in macos without dependencies problem and so simple?

Yeah, i know, appimage, flathub, snap, but it's not that simple, where is the difference?

Installation from ks - unable to find repodata

Hi all, I'm new to being the solo sysadmin at my company, and a lot of doco is poor and handover didn't happen.

Right now I'm trying to install Oracle Linux 6.10 (yes, we are THAT far behind) on an ESXi 6.7 instance with a kickstarter noscript.

The kickstarter all makes sense to me, until we hit:

repo --name="UEK4 kernel repo" --baseurl=file://anaconda-addon

Anyway, I get this error when it goes looking for the repo:

​

It's already created my filesystem, I can ping the IP I gave the installation interface, but cannot SSH yet. I've checked all the previous kickstarter .cfg files and they have been referencing this repo for several years.

It's possible the rpm that sets up the repo hasn't been installed yet. I'll give that a go while I'm waiting for tech support :)

How to find out who is maintaining manpages

Hello,

at the bottom of man slappasswd (https://linux.die.net/man/8/slappasswd) there is a link to the "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/)


The link leads to a 404, however there are guides on OpenLDAP.org.

Who do you think would be the right party to contact in this case?


Kind regards,

Ori

XRDP Settings

While searching for ways to increase responsiveness of xrdp, I noticed a lot of recommendations for setting max_bpp=128 in xrdp.ini.

Why would setting the max bits per pixel to 128 make a difference? Does it make memory reads and writes noticeably faster? It seems like sending more data would increase overhead. Additionally, man pages for xorg.conf state that hardware is only going to use 24 bits.
