schestowitzBytemark is rather slow. Took 3 days to reply to my  request and still not setting up the server.Dec 17 05:30
schestowitz"My understanding is that my colleagues have given the go-ahead for the creation of the server and the ticket was tentatively closed without a server being set up. We need one ASAP for configuration, from our end, over SSH. A port needs to be opened for SFTP as well. We can worry about machine name etc. later. The specs of the servers were specified in my original request."Dec 17 05:30

acer-boxYour source doesn’t know anything about British politics. It’s not about parties over there it’s about the individuals. And on that note this was an unofficial referendum on Brexit. And leave won beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. It was the largest political landslide in almost a century. :pmore_vertDec 17 07:04

r_schestowitz                                    <p> Including various files in /etc allows to learn something about the system. For example /etc/lsb-release often gives information about the distribution in use. Interestingly, including pseudo-files from /proc does not work. It seems gcc treats them like empty files. This limits possibilities to learn about the system. /sys and /dev work, but they contain less human readable information. </p></Dec 17 10:38
