i mean this is old craptop from 2015..so im limited on games
<rennj>
vmware remote console...last time i tried was just vncserver/vncclient
<rennj>
well on player anyway...you can do no console and just vncserver
<rennj>
built into vmware product
<cptaffe>
nice. I don't know what the remote console uses under the hood but it could be VNC. It's just convenient for now
amk has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<rennj>
yeah well oracle/solaris 11.4 pretty much broke everything vmware tools related
<rennj>
had to use remote console cause mouse,keyboard broke
amk has joined #haiku
<rennj>
11.2 full support
<rennj>
11.3 vmware audio no longer worked
xxoREZoxx has joined #haiku
<rennj>
11.4 mouse,keyboard and audio
<cptaffe>
what do you use solaris for?
<rennj>
cause i was solaris admin in the past
<cptaffe>
ah I see -- was that recently? I knew Solaris was popular in the 90s but is it still around?
<rennj>
better than using oracle virtualbox
<rennj>
yeah oracle pretty much killed it
<rennj>
sparc and solaris..its still around for DoD customers for sure
<cptaffe>
oh interesting
<rennj>
linux hasnt sucked all the feature from ibm,sun,sgi,hp,dec yet
<rennj>
probably can audit better than linux...trusted solaris
nullman has left #haiku [#haiku]
<cptaffe>
Yeah I guess RedHat is the enterprise Linux distro, now owned by IBM
<rennj>
hp-ux, solaris, aix
<rennj>
yeah long in the tooth, where no developing is going on
<cptaffe>
Ah AIX, they used to use that at Acxiom when they did on-prem
<rennj>
hp-ux solaris aix get updates...but i think they may be all on life support, with linux and bsd's being where more developers are
<Yuzu>
AIX has an active hardware and software roadmap
<cptaffe>
yeah that definitely seems the case. I work in ad-tech, you basically never hear about anything but Linux and k8s
<cptaffe>
but that's all on VMs, so whatever the cloud provider runs under that (probably Linux) is none of my business
<cptaffe>
That's why I'm playing around with VMs and servers, trying to learn more of the hardware aspect
<rennj>
well vmware qemu virtualbox xen arent that big of learning curve
<rennj>
domains, lpars, npars/vpars is way bigger
<rennj>
that real hardware virtualization..and the electrical i/o level
<rennj>
that real hardware virtualization at the electrical i/o level
<rennj>
sun domains, hp npars/vpars, ibm lpars
<rennj>
slice up the hardware into multiple machines
<rennj>
hp itanitum had windows nt, hp-ux, linux, and openvms all on 1 box at one point
<rennj>
had sue and win oracle for more support also
<cptaffe>
I was looking at itanium, even the really old HP Integrity servers are several hundred dollars
<cptaffe>
I've used qemu before for learning about OS development, but I've never used it for managing VMs
<Yuzu>
you can find an rx2600 for us$200 if you're patient
<rennj>
why waste money on dead platform
<cptaffe>
for fun

for nostalgia, for me
<rennj>
only amiga makes it possible
<rennj>
nostalgia would be pa-risc
<rennj>
not itanium
<Yuzu>
i started my career on IPF
<Yuzu>
and still miss it
<rennj>
i tell people in here of the hp v2600 i had
<rennj>
128cpu/128GB of ram that machine could do in the 90's
<rennj>
4 cabinets
<rennj>
use to be on top500 supercomputer list

hi, anyone have the qemu commands/link for creating a haiku image? the site help section uses an unsupported gui. I'm lazy and hoping someone has the shell script with flags for osx.
<rennj>
it really was beautiful how amd swiped the 64bit world from intel
<cptaffe>
isn't amd64's advantage that its backwards compatible but itanium is closer to what the processor is doing underneath
<Yuzu>
IPF was fun to program for, fast if you put the effort in, good OS support... bit so brittle.
<Yuzu>
missed opportunities, every gen delayed
<cptaffe>
ah :(

speaking of vms and whatnot, does anyone use anything specific for a DHCP server? I'm using ISC DHCP but the only way to get a list of IPs is to parse the lease files
