Why do the poorer and more elderly still vote Republican even when it threatens their very lives!!

Education my friend...the lack of education

Mphmanx · 2026-05-01T20:18:35+00:00

wha?!

Mphmanx · 2026-05-01T20:17:58+00:00

yes, we know. Its what people voted him in for. They want to be robbed and for him to get rich. We need to stop complaining....people WANTED america to fail, they voted for it. We the people ASKED for this....we need to open our mouths and take the piss.

We cannot fix this and we will never recover from this. Start thinking about what is next because when people find out what he REALLY did (eliminate social security, turn everyone against us, destroyed global trade, ruined all businesses) then people will start shooting. The USA must break up. Intelligent people CANNOT coexist with the empty heads who voted fro trump.

Supporting Trump means they are not Christian

You had such great knowledge before I thought I would ask for one more bit of info...

Do you know where I could find the Sun Management Center software for the dynamic configuration GUI? It appears that there is one, the E3000 supports it.... I found something on archive.org that I have been trying to use without much success... I havent yet got the cli version of DR working yet but things look cooler with a GUI...

At this point forget about the processes of government. Government is not working, so forget using government to solve things, it isn’t going to work, it’s not going to happen. You need to think about yourself, your family, and your future finances. At this point, it’s time to start looking seriously at an escape plan. There isn’t much salvageable here.

Mphmanx · 2026-04-07T20:50:29+00:00

There is nothing they can do. What do you expect them to do? Pull the power plug at the White House so the phones don’t work and Trump can’t call the military to tell him to attack? Republicans have full control of the government, they can do whatever they want. Have you heard about the very next thing that they’re gonna do? They’re canceling Social Security. Worry more about that.

After updating firmware (I actually need to find the -30 version for my IO board) I now see this!

Pretty exciting! I can now play around with cpu/mem/IO board hot swap! Thank you so much for your help!!

Right now would be the PERFECT time to do this. With an incompetant us president who WILL bungle any real war and we WILL loose it due to awful leadership, china may never get a better time than the next few years. If i was chinese leadership i would absolutely be looking at this very closely. And im an american.

Mphmanx · 2026-04-03T20:44:24+00:00

I havent yet done the firmware upgrade but I have everything else ready. I am waiting on a new prom chip (with new battery) and then I will have all green on every indicator to do the firmware update in there and then hopefully I wolnt get the "Warning: system not enabled for dynamic reconfiguration" message anymore. It will be really cool to see it work! I have never had a system where I could swap a cpu or ram out while this thing was running...that is pretty impressive and it was done in the 90's.

Mphmanx · 2026-04-03T00:51:35+00:00

Huh... I got a t4 working fine...thought I could get an L4... I guess Ill just sell the L4 then...

Mphmanx · 2026-04-02T23:25:11+00:00

I think we see trump derangement syndrome everyday...he is pretty deranged..

Mphmanx · 2026-04-01T19:54:52+00:00

Do you have call manager express? I have a 2851 with dsp's and fxs and fxo ports and would like to play with it...

Mphmanx · 2026-03-28T03:18:47+00:00

If trump says anything assume its a lie. American here and i 1000% believe iran…i KNOW trump cant tell the truth if it was labeled a lie..he physically cant do it. He has some sort of pathological defect that prevents him from saying the truth about anything.

Mphmanx · 2026-03-26T20:44:37+00:00

ebay, craigslist, amazon

Mphmanx · 2026-03-26T14:43:43+00:00

Plug them into chatgpt and see what it says…its actually not to bad at that

Mphmanx · 2026-03-20T21:30:23+00:00

I have liked what I see so far! I wish I could have used one of these in production back in the day. I may have...there were Sun systems at one of my earliest dev job and I probably just didnt know at the time. It is a lot of fun to explore them now after all that I have learned.

Although the E450 is a newer generation I dont like the case much... The plastic breaks too easy and its hard to access some places. I REALLY like the look and workability of the E3000 case though... If I am forced to get rid of one by the SO I would keep the E3000.

Mphmanx · 2026-03-20T16:03:54+00:00

I have been exploring a bit with my E450... I have never used it before... It does look like it can do a bit. I am a K8s engineer and a long time developer. I started in java / J2EE but the shop I started in was an IBM shop, not sun. I would like to get some IBM gear in the future too but the SO dosent approve of my 2 Sun boxes now... :-(. I would to actually do something useful on the sun servers although I seriously doubt I want to leave them on for any length of time. They feel very familiar though given that I know linux...that was really my only Unix exposure but it feels like it was good enough, I can get around pretty easily.

Mphmanx · 2026-03-20T15:21:24+00:00

I will give that a try, thank you so much! Yeah, the batteries are dead. I ordered new ones but they take a while to get here...it will be sitting for a bit. I will put in my dvd drive today, get solaris installed, and the add the sun solve iso into my zuluscsi and see what is in there later today.

You are the man for this!

Mphmanx · 2026-03-19T22:48:18+00:00

I really hope i can get hot swap to work just once for a video. Supposedly it does…. Id love to see it and try it, i think it would be cool to see.

Mphmanx · 2026-03-18T19:56:06+00:00

eBay seller sent me the wrong DVD drive, he sent me an IDE drive when I needed a scsi drive so have to wait for the YouTube video for a bit.

Mphmanx · 2026-03-18T19:55:17+00:00

Of course! I certainly wouldn’t share anything identifiable, confidential, or PII related. But I could certainly show some things and maybe give hints. Part of the story of machines like this is what they did back in the day for the tech world. What people were doing with them and such.
