Remote Desktop Client with Windows 2000

-
At one of my client office, their computers runs under windows 2000.

I needed to access a windows 2003 server with a RDP Client.

Windows 2000 does not have mstsc.exe installed, but the one for windows XP works well with windows 2000.

Terminal Services Client comes in two versions, 5.1 & 6. The 6 needs a Genuinue Advantage validation (I didn't try but I don't think ti's possible under windows 2000 to have this validation), but the 5.1 here :

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx

don't !

Run the installer, click next until the end and then WindowsKey+R, type mstsc

et voila !

Upgrade Slimframework v3 to v4, how I did it

-
Here is an article that details my path to upgrade to Slimframework v3 to v4. I'm developing on my freetime an application that manage the fundraising of the French Red Cross, and I'm updating a lot of frameworks to their last version (AngularJS to Angular 8/9 is my big next move). You can find the project sources here : https://github.com/dev-mansonthomas/RedCrossQuest There’s quite a lot of breaking changes involved, feature removed in profit to external frameworks, the upgrade documentation is quite minimal, but you must read it to understand what's changing : http://www.slimframework.com/docs/v4/start/upgrade.html This article is not well redacted, it’s just a log of what I did to achieve the upgrade, but I feel it may help some, so here we are ;) What I've read to perform the upgrade I’ve read theses article to help the transition to the 4.x  https://akrabat.com/a-first-look-at-slim-4/ https://dzone.com/articles/a-first-look-at-slim-4

Reset Bacula database and files

-

Today I need to purge my bacula for several reasons. Here is how I did. First backup the database and files used in your previous setup, one never knows you might actually need it after the purge... /usr/bin/mysqldump -aecqQ bacula > bacula_before_purge.sql and copy the volumes and bsr files. Stop bacula : service bacula-director stop service bacula-fd stop service bacula-sd stop then : mysql -u root -p drop database bacula; create database bacula; quit next we need to recreate bacula tables. There's a bacula script to do that, but the file needs to be changed to set the correct database name. cp /usr/share/bacula-director/make_mysql_tables ~/ vi ~/make_mysql_tables change XXX_DBNAME_XXX by your bacula database (let's say 'bacula') save and exit. then run as root the script ~/make_mysql_tables it should have recreated the tables : mysql -u root -p use bacula; show tables; +------------------+ | Tables_in_bacula | +-----------

Limit the upload bandwidth of your apache webserver with mod_bw

I've a server at home on a ADSL connection which has 100kBytes/s of upload and 1.2MBytes/s of download as bandwidth. If someone download at full speed some large file on my web server, my internet connection become unusable. To avoid this, I start to ask my friends to use a download manager to limit their download speed... but it's somewhat far too tricky for a lot of them... So I use mod_bw developed by Ivan Barrera http://www.ivn.cl/apache/ (sourceforge : http://bwmod.sourceforge.net/ ). Here is a quick way to limit the bandwidth used by Apache : Install & enable (on Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-bw sudo a2enmod bw Configure (your apache virtualhost conf file like /etc/apache2/sites-available/default) : <virtualhost *:80> #... other config stuf for the virtual host BandWidthModule On ForceBandWidthModule On BandWidth 192.168.0.0/24 0 BandWidth all 80000 </virtualhost> Explaination : line 1 : Activate the mod for the virtualhost. line 2 : Set a
