From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

After almost half a century, I'm still doing it... (lemmy.sdf.org)

So I'm working on a server from home.

I do a cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate and it says unknown despite the interface being obviously up, since I'm SSH'ing into the box.

I try to explicitely set the interface up to force the status to say up with ip link set eth0 up. No joy, still unknown.

Hmm... maybe I should bring it down and back up.

So I do ip link set eth0 down and... I drive 15 miles to work to do the corresponding ip link set eth0 up

50 years using Unix and I'm still doing this... 😥

Yup, I use PiKVM, too. Fun fact, PiKVM's first content commit is a clone of my DIY IPMI repo 😉

Look, it's'a me: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4

Awesome job!

Thanks! Yea, it was a really fun project to make back before there were any real options. And I'm glad the PiKVM team could expand upon it.

Somewhere along the way I lost the "based on" credit, likely whenever they fully modernized the stack. I wasn't really keeping track, but did find it humorous when LTT said the creator complained someone based another project on them. I was like "Hmmmmmmm..." but just laughed because I didn't make it for it to stagnate like it had been with me.
