@WesleyDavid Oh, that kinda sucks. I guess my offer from way back when still stands. Unfortunately I managed to blow my laptop to pieces in the mean time (but yay, I got rid of Vista :P), but it shouldn't take that long to knock something up in PHP again.
@pfo At the moment it's pretty basic, just elilo delivered over the network. So I can get a nice menu showing the various Linux boot options, but unfortunately elilo can't chain to other EFI applications.
I have an existing PXE syslinux environment and I'd like to set up a similar EFI-based netboot environment.
I'm a big fan of the various menus as seen in the screenshot below and I'd like to find something equivalent.
Ideal features would be:
Menus
Sub-menus

@Iain Not terrible. Pain is gradually decreasing, just not as fast as I want. Turns out I'll have to engage my short term disability. Which is fine, I'm just glad I have it. How are you?
And lemme tell you, it certainly speeds up boot times when you don't need to load the BIOS emulation layer. Although I go through all this trouble and discover something in SLES is broken WRT the boot variables. Grrr...
@pfo Sounds familiar ;) It's funny though, I've been doing a fair bit of reading on it and unless I misunderstand things, you can do PXE menus without needing to load any sort of additional application. I could be wrong though.
ELILO: EFI Linux Boot Loader is very easy to implement and meets some of the criteria:
☑ Menus
☐ Sub-menus
☑ Linux kernel/initrd TFTP load (naturally)
☐ Arbitrary EFI application load
☑ Fallthrough to next boot option
(eventually I'll document what's required to get it working end-to-end…)
The moderator election states that there are two positions open. With the recent loss of Chopper3, this means that this is a net gain of 1.
There's some discussion with regard to the specific count for this election; maybe some more general discussion is needed on how many moderators are needed...
it makes sense what for the encouraging of voting on questions
because the mods would all resign in protest over people marshall hunting. Or because the masses would riot and start impaling people on pikes for Archaeologist hunting and dredging up crap :)
though I guess we've always had flag weight displayed...
I'm still not sure what to do with abandoned questions with no answers, no useful information, but the OP posted by edit that he fixed it via rebooting or reinstalling. Just downvote and let the auto-deleter take care of them?
@voretaq7 I tweet stuff out a lot, and post stuff on Google+. That badge used to be a one-timer, but I guess they changed that today so I got backlogged love.
@JourneymanGeek the thing is that a question with no information 'it's busted, where do I look' followed up by an edit 3 hours later saying 'well, I rebooted it, and it's working now' - what else can you do with that except for downvote?
even dangerous questions I'm more likely to answer with "Yes you can, but you will break the internet and we will all come to your house and throw a blanket party"
and I've had a few flags declined that were then immediately deleted via a mod and lost a bunch of flag weight for that... so I only flag now for migrations typically
"CST: update on DS3 ticket HD00000000000 - telco tech dispatched and found that the customer's router was physically damaged and there were parts of it on the floor"
@WesleyDavid I was working at CompUSA back when that came out. Dear God what a flop that was. We'd been shipping 3 pallets of that stuff and sold maybe 6-7 copies.
@voretaq7 I flag stuff that's old and needs to be closed as a lesson to future participants. Seeing an old question that's still open with 46 upvotes about "How do you like to use your sandwich press in the server room?" makes people more likely to ask crap and then defend it when it now gets downvotes.
As the mods know, I've been on a massive old-post-flagging-fest for the last few weeks.
Especially when that one guy asked a question about "what's best to install on fresh Linux builds", got downvoted and then said "But the Windows version got 46 upvotes!"
The Windows version was 2.5 years old and should have been given forty lashes with razor ribbon.
If you're worried about the DEA, you're thinking a different kind of acid than I was at first. However... bathing someone in LSD would be a demented punishment. I like the way you think...

@voretaq7 "Brent readily shifts the switch to "Die" and William is killed when a platform of needles swings into his back and pumps hydrofluoric acid into his body (truncated to make SFW)...."
The question is kinda derp-derp, but the bit in Oli's answer about the champagne room with strippers is chock full of awesome. meta.askubuntu.com/questions/2290/…
Ok. Lately it seems that there's a lot of questions where I'm seeing the same words as everybody else but they seems to mean something else to the OP and other commenters.
@LucasKauffman "This is my cloud computing lecture. Look up. If you see clouds this is not a good place for your computing equipment. End of lecture, everybody get the fuck out so I can drink my vodka in peace."
I have it in iptables for a few types of connections, if they do more than I think 8 connections in a minute they get kicked out for 2 hours. Works great on scanners.
