Interesting link. And no way to turn it off? Makes me glad this machine is an old old quad core phenom. I haven't seen a thing I couldn't ID in wiresharks output. But 3 of the other machines here, those running real machinery, are intel, 2-3 yo atoms, or 5-6 yo in a Dell Compact. AMD stuff cannot do real time since about K6, which was tolerable, ran one for quite a spell till I replaced it with the atom stuff, reducing my power bill. I would assume, if they are "calling home" that I could see the traffic with wireshark or tcpdump? Hard to see in all the other traffic as I maintain an sshfs share, and an ssh login session to them all from here. So its pretty noisy in terms of net traffic here at the Heskett Cottage. > On 03/16/2016 04:12 PM, Jcd wrote: > > So what makes the real time Linux like machine kit or for a regular > > PC.
