Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH packaging lies and unbricking info

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 14:43:14 GMT

My Linksys WRT54GS running OpenWRT has been faultless, however, it was running an old release (White Russian) and needed upgrading for a newer kernel with proper IPV6 support.

Rather than gleefully upgrading and risking breaking my housenet's ability to see the internet, I decided to proceed cautiously, and buy a new router, with a view to setting it up as a new shiny drop-in replacement. A good opportunity to upgrade hardware for, amongst other things, N wireless. After searching for recommends, settled on the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, and placed an order with Amazon.

Yet again, I failed to notice that I'd selected a US vendor, and waited for ages for it to arrive. Grr. At self. When it did turn up, I immediately ignored the DD-WRT pre-install, carefully chose my OpenWRT firmware, flashed it, and bricked it...

opensolaris is no more...

oh dear, this post seems to confirm the recent rumours... so I along with others will be watching to see how IllumOS and OpenIndiana progress...

debian 'lenny' cyrus-imapd-2.2 grrr

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 17:13:32 GMT

hey kids! so i hit an error that i couldn't google ( hence this article... ) whilst migrating a debian cyrus-imapd mail service from an old sluggish box running 'sarge' to a new shiny box running 'lenny'...

why lenny? as is somewhat usual with debian, to get support in the packaged kernel for new SATA controllers...

the setup is cyrus-imapd-2.2, exim4, sasl auth, etc all from lenny debs... here is the error:



cyrus/lmtp[PID]: FATAL: Internal error: assertion failed:
duplicate.c: 146: (len == sizeof(time_t)) || (len == sizeof(time_t) + sizeof(unsigned long))

switched exim to use lmtpunix socket instead (just in case)...



cyrus/lmtpunix[PID]: FATAL: Internal error: assertion failed:
duplicate.c: 146: (len == sizeof(time_t)) || (len == sizeof(time_t) + sizeof(unsigned long))

hmm.

metasploit3 on gentoo

bored of waiting for metasploit3 to hit portage? download metasploit3-ebuild.tgz and unpack it into a portage overlay directory... if you do layman, or your own thing, then these next few commands probably are not for you, if not, they'll do:

new radiant powered site

I don’t really blog, but radiant has blog-foo built-in, so I thought I would include it and see if it tempts me into sharing thoughts with a bizarre subsection of the internet using public. I am currently doubting it :)
