03:19:43 <gitomat> [illumos-gate] 16644 tools libscf should not depend on libzonecfg.h -- Robert Mustacchi <rm⊙fo>
03:22:48 <richlowe> thanks rm
06:07:33 <tsoome_> nice:)
11:40:46 <unixery> papertigers: but not via zfs dataset property sharesmb="name=myshare". Or do I?
11:41:28 <unixery> I guess ntpd and chrony should not / must not be run in (lx) zones?
13:53:10 <jbk> unixery: you can also use sharemgr(8) to create shares for non-delegated datasets
13:53:30 <jbk> and correct.. a zone gets it's time from the global zone, so that's where you want to run ntp
15:43:42 <jbk> hrm.. has anyone gotten cell modems to work with illumos?
15:46:28 <papertigers> unixery: yea as jbk points out you can use sharemgr
15:47:02 <papertigers> that's what I have done for my zone acting as a timemachine end point
15:47:59 <jbk> my vague recollection from decades past is that you use ppp + some custom AT commands to 'dial' the service, but (at the time) wasn't really well documented
15:49:03 <tsoome> cell modems!? huh.....  
15:49:17 <jbk> yeah
15:49:27 <jbk> basically so you can use data over cell network
15:50:00 <tsoome> yea, I remember what the modems were:D
15:51:52 <jbk> the illumos VM i do most of my work is on my home server, which is tied to my normal internet provider (comcast)... except they've been down since Monday morning (hurricane) with no ETA for restoration (and not the first time they've had problems.. last summer it was out for like a week)
15:52:17 <jbk> right now I can tether my laptop to my cell phone, but then I can't access my home network where the VM is
15:53:18 <jbk> so it'd be nice to have a backup
15:59:23 <nomad> Doesn't VZW sell a 'home internet connection' type thing?
16:02:09 <nomad> better yet, a non-denomination device like https://www.netgear.com/home/mobile-wifi/routers/lax20/
16:16:28 <sommerfeld> nomad: there are a bunch of such devices out there.   my comcast business service bundles a Cradlepoint wireless backup which is not well integrated with the rest of their service but would be just what jbk needs at the moment.  would do double-NAT through the cable modem in normal operation which you're better off without..
16:21:33 * nomad tends to avoid involvement with comcast
16:21:36 <nomad> but that's just a me thing.
16:35:43 <andyf> jbk I run my NTP servers as sparse zones - in line with running the bare minimum in the GZ. It works fine, with the right couple of extra privileges.
20:13:42 <danmcd> It's a pity you don't have a wifi-client-to-ethernet.  You could use the wifi client to tether to your cell phone, and then use THAT to plug into an ethernet switch (which can have a wifi AP even).
20:17:26 <wiedi> I have a huawei lte usb modem here but it needs "NCM" support and we only have "ECM" and I never found the time to work on that
20:18:42 <danmcd> Somewhere deep in my electronics drawers is such a wifi-client-to-ethernet.  I think it's so old, however, that it won't speak to my phone even if I needed it.
23:10:52 <jbk> yay.. internet just came back
23:34:08 <alanc> of course, as someone who worked on desktop software in the wobbly windows days, I'm just waiting for Hurricane Compiz to come next, and eventually merge with Hurricane Beryl
23:36:17 <richlowe> booo
23:56:57 * jbk throws rotten produce at alanc
23:56:58 <jbk> :P
23:57:19 <jbk> though i discovered the head of the grid operator here came from pg&e... which explains a lot
