Looking forward to adding to my toolbox
I have worked with Redhat for about 6 years now.
I know there is SOOOOO Much I do not know.
I have my RHCSA and am thinking about going for RHCE.
I am enjoying the act of finally getting to learn Ansible.
Looking forward to learning from all and maybe helping some.

Relationships between IPv4 and IPv6 routing table size vs. routing engine
Hi All,
So I am trying to post a blog on some useful information regarding some of the Juniper MX routing engines (RE)'s maximum capabilities in terms of how many IPv4 and IPv6 routing table entries they can handle.
I know I am not explaining every clearly right now. I've attached a file for your review.
I hope this file will then make sense. Some of the info. I have on it may even not be correct.
I have been trying to look up informations online, but nothing useful. And the Juniper site does not really provide this kind of info either.
I would really appreciate it if any of you know any sites that I can find this kind of info.
Thanks again,
Denny

Connect to mysql db in linux mint using vscode
I am writing a java app using vscode on linux mint 21. Trying to connect to a local mysql database i get the error "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb".I installed the mysql-connector-j_8.1.0-1debian11_all.deb package i found at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ (choosing debian linux as os) and than linked both
mysql-connector-j-8.1.0.jar
mysql-connector-java-8.1.0.jar
to the reference library of my project in vscode.
Also tried the "platform indipendent" jar.
The url should be correct, so is there anything else i should do?
Edit:
i used the command
export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-j-8.1.0.jar:$CLASSPATH
but still get the error
Re-Edit:
it's fine if i include the -classpath command line.
At this point the question would be:
How do i avoid to manually add the -classpath command?
mysql-connector-j-8.1.0.jar
mysql-connector-java-8.1.0.jar
to the reference library of my project in vscode.

toggling scroll mouse switches' command
i have a cheap 2 button mouse [maxxter wireless optical mouse ACT MUS-002] with scroll wheel.
When scroll wheel is pressed it acts like the left mouse button/enter key?
When scrolling in a browser, it adds web pages to my browsers' top row, ultimately bogging my computer processor.
can i disable this function whilst keeping the scroll wheel, even with an on screen toggle icon?
i don't know if the signal is unique, or do i cut some wires in the mouse? pls advise.
thx

Regression in newer (non-Slackware) kernels
This doesn't affect Slackware provided kernels, but may affect those who roll their own...
I run slarm64 (an ARM64 version of Slackware) on a Pi 400. It uses cutting edge kernels, currently up at 6.5. A few upgrades ago, my dvb dongle stopped working. While chasing the problem, I found this: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230...d-d6bc@gregkh/
It looks like it affects 130 devices, so if you've been having issues with your own kernels, have a look at the list in this thread!

DVB bug in recent kernels
This may affect other modules as well....
A while back, my DVB Pi-hat (Sony cxd2880) stopped working. I found this in dmesg:
Code: dmesg | grep cxd2880
[ 3.628383] failing symbol_get of non-GPLONLY symbol cxd2880_attach.
[ 3.628412] DVB: Unable to find symbol cxd2880_attach()
[ 3.628419] cxd2880_spi: cxd2880_spi_probe: cxd2880_attach failed Googling for it, I found this:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230...d-d6bc@gregkh/
I think its been around longer than they realise, but at least they are now aware. There is a list of devices affected in that thread - about 130 of them!
Just a "heads up" for anyone having a similar issue.
The only solution at present is to revert to a (much) earlier kernel...

[ 3.628419] cxd2880_spi: cxd2880_spi_probe: cxd2880_attach failed Googling for it, I found this:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230...d-d6bc@gregkh/
I think its been around longer than they realise, but at least they are now aware. There is a list of devices affected in that thread - about 130 of them!
Just a "heads up" for anyone having a similar issue.
The only solution at present is to revert to a (much) earlier kernel...
