  • Transferred disc copy of Spore onto a USB memory stick for my new laptop, but it will not run.
    You can use any of the CD burner softwares for making the image. I used to use https://cdburnerxp.se but no idea if it is still good. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Convert MPEG2 to DAT and burn onto VCD
    I think you can use https://cdburnerxp.se/ to create VCDs directly from the video files you have. Its been years since I burned any kind of CD so I can't say for sure, but I believe it supports making VCD. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • CD Burning Utilities in 2022
    CDBurnerXP Go to "Downloads" and choose "More download options", to get the software without PUA/InstallCore. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Can you play ps1 cds on a pc
    Assuming you have a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, you can use a program like ImgBurn or CDBurnerXP to "rip" (copy) the disc onto your computer. Most software will rip as BIN+CUE or ISO. You will be able to use that in a PS1 emulator such as Duckstation or ePSXe. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • I'm trying to burn a song onto a cd to use on a cd player.
    You might find it easier with this 3rd Party App https://cdburnerxp.se/ Be sure to use only name brand CD-R discs, and burn the disc at the slowest Burn Speed for the media. possible. Source: about 3 years ago

  • Cisco switch backup/restore?
    A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Version control for network configs
    Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Management Software for Cisco Devices?
    RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • What all are you doing with Ansible?
    If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Starting with python at 30
    Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: about 2 years ago
