resp:11: I was using vcenter (full version) previously, but I'm now
running xenserver as my vcenter and vsphere licenses are all expiring.

Do you need a license for arbornet or grex?
Whats the cost of vsphere?
How much was full vcenter?

The "tree" command is now installed on grex. This presents a
text tree listing of files in a directory structure. The output
looks like this:
/var/tmp> tree
.
|-- pw.3DHUshDcN0
|-- pw.tOK6iWCz5D
`-- vi.recover
|-- recover.cLdYADPwjG
`-- vi.FTHZBkBpFx
1 directory, 4 files

Is there any app for old feature phones with java that will ssh to grex?
midpssh would not work for me.

I don't have a blackberry phone. midpssh is a java app.
I found an ssh app for palm that works but the font is so miniscule it is
useless. Could not find settings. pssh.

To make the Linux prompt and command output readable, you can increase the
Font size. From the MidPSSH menu -> Select Settings -> Select Fonts and set
the following values accordingly as shown in the Fig below.
Font Size: Tiny, Device, LCD 36 etc. By default Tiny is selected. Changed this
to Device.
LCD Font Mode: RBG or BGR.
Foreground Color
Background Color

It is pssh that is too tiny to read. Midpssh simple would not work for me.
I think I got a white screen. Does it work on your java-based phone
I just got an email forwarded (because of its size) from
Administrator@cyberspace.org telling me to run the attached zip file to update
my Web Mail certificate. As far as I know we have no webmail.
'Download and launch file'. I suppose I could print out the characters in
it and make it into a paper boat and launch that.

Grex administrators will not ask you for your password or have you
install downloaded files. We can reset your password for you.
Do not open any attached files in spam e-mails. The vast majority of
them contain viruses and other malware. Be careful of attached files
in e-mails you did expect to receive, too. Don't click on links in
e-mails, either, for the same reason.
And no, we don't have web mail on Grex.

I can't open them with pine or mutt anyway. Just wanted to let grex admin
know about this spam.
Grex outgoing mails are being blocked by both Barracuda (includes SBC) and
Yahoo (includes ebay, Nextdoor, ecycle, frontier, and half my friends).
Same with sdf mails, for at least the past week. Can someone at least fill
out the form at Barracuda to unblock us? I am using fastmail as a backup but
they plan to drop support for non-javascript browsers.

We're not really in a position to support email anymore. There are better
alternatives, such as getting a GMail account and talking to it using imap
or something.

I normally use sdf, with grex as a backup for bad-yahoo days. Grex is rarely
blocked by yahoo.

resp:14: Far too much to buy for my needs. I didn't purchase it before,
I had a license from when I worked at vmware. Sadly, I no longer do. :(
In other news, it seems I've just paid for another 2 years of grex's
domain names. Happy New Year!
In related news, does anyone know why we're paying for private
registration? Seems like a silly expense, even if it is only $10/yr.

Fly like a song, fly while you're singing
A song without you is a bird without winging

Some city nights end without warning

If you didn't notice from the Grex problems item, Dan Cross upgraded
Grex's OpenBSD to version 6.1. Grex was inaccessible for a few days
during this process. Many applications have been updated to newer
versions. If something is missing or not working right, post about it
in the problems item and let staff know.

FYI: I've rewritten the `menu` shell. As far as the user interface is
concerned, this version is a more-or-less faithful recreation of the
previous version, though there are some minor differences in some of
the details.
This version is written in `go`; the older version was written in C and
was something of a nightmare.
