21 January 2020, 13:48 UTCWindows 10 1803 / 1903 and NT style domains..
Since 1903 Windows 10 doesn't really offer a GUI way of adding a workstation to an NT Style domain. As I've been using Samba for a while, and still haven't upgraded to an AD (Active Directory) DC (domain controller) I was put in front of the task of adding 2 new workstations to the old NT style domain. In win10 (1903) I only found one way to do so (not documented in Samba's wiki):
Use PowerShell as an Administrator, and type the following code:
Add-Computer -ComputerName Server01 -LocalCredential Server01\Admin01 -DomainName Domain02 -Credential Domain02\Admin02 -Restart –Force
In order for this to work you need to:
- Name the computer first (Server01 in the example above) and restart
- Install the win7/8/10 registry updates (DomainCompatibilityMode=1, "DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000)
- Install the win10 registry update for passwords:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 |HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb| "ProtectionPolicy"=dword:00000001

28 January 2015, 11:10 UTColder robot
Recently I started up an older Robot:
- CLOOS Romat 76 (DC motors, 6 joints industrial robot)
- CLOOS Rotrol 16 (16 bit control unit, currently 7 joints - the 7th axis is simulated/got lost somewhere)
- CLOOS GLC 403 PA-TS (welding equipment)
The robot system was built in 25.01.1989 (makes it 26 years by the time I write this post), but it has less than 1400 working hours, and still works great as you can see in the next video:

17 October 2013, 20:12 UTCbbb_parport
As PC printer ports are getting harder and harder to find, an alternative for cheapish CNC control needs to be found in order for linuxcnc to keep working, and growing.
One of the most promising platforms lately is the Beaglebone Black, and still missing was a convenient parallel port replacement for it...
