Here's the story..
The owners of the building we lease office space from decided to do a renovation of the exterior. This involved in some pretty heavy work at the level where our server room is, including exchanging windows wich are fit inside a concrete wall.
My red alert went off when I hear...
I guess its different when you're leasing building space :-( but here I'd just tell the building manager that the people who did that were not going to be allowed in the server rooms the first time I found the door unlocked. And he'd agree with me, too
Granted, servers can stand some dust, but concrete dust is a bit no-no. What happens if the room gets too warm and humid, or damp? If there's even the possibilty of the concrete solidifying, even in minute accounts, I'd want the whole lot replaced. That's probably quite expensive/a bit of a pain, so I'd go with getting some service personell out from the respective suppliers and bill it to the owenser of the building.
There seems to be a lack of policies from what I can tell regarding how moderators moderate the chat system.
I was recently flagged (and subsequently suspended) for certain language, which another chat moderator reversed. The meta regarding this is here: AutoSuspension from Chat for "Inappr...
Oh, that guy. He used to hang out in the DMZ. A few of us found him embarrassingly annoying. Kind of like when your little brother tagged along in elementary school.
yes, both written and about 20 witnesses at the information meeting when the construction plans were released
And who can blame EMC anyways... it's in the contract, they get to sell another SAN and they minimize the risk of having to give us more hardware/support than normal.
I've been looking at several data leak/loss prevention suites but, in their documentation, I'm unable to find how they treat HTTPS.
One of the 'leakage vectors' is sending information to webapps through HTTPS. In which case, the only way to detect the leakage would be to decrypt it.
But, to do ...
I think their general attitude on chat is that chat is "just chat"
It was a feature that they used internally for work and were surprised that anyone on the site actually used it, so I get the feeling that chat is only begrudgingly kept around for anyone outside their offices.
@BartSilverstrim SOlution: Sack all of your employees. You clearly don't trust them to handle the data they need to access to do their job, so you're better off without them.
Well, you know, some of you have avatars that annoy me and other times you just throw a lot of boob references around. That sort of thing is SO off topic for serverfault that I just have to flag you for it.
Cache all the data, I'm currently in the middle of discussions where I have to prove why we should cache our data outside of our massively over worked SQL Server. Showing a 180% increase in performance caching a single page on our app apparently wasn't enough.
Occording to my source, no one in a professional IT place uses in memory caching.... *Facepalm*
Wish I could tell you were I was just listening to or reading a bit about databases in a company that are almost entirely contained in memory for performance reasons...thinking it might be tied to MongoDB.
Mod_Rewrite is redirecting.

Suppose I want to host some web-service - a bunch of code that will accept HTTP requests, do something useful and serve results as web pages.
AFAIK there're two options. I could buy a server and host it at my office/home/whatever or at a colocation facility. Or I could rent a virtual machine in ...
So I've wondered this for a long time.
Where does email sent to *@example.com go? If I accidentally sent sensitive information to *@example.com would some evil person (potentially at the IANA) be able to retrieve it someday?
@BartSilverstrim Because I was told to demo it as a this is what we're doing, and the senior developer has turned it in to, you must convince me before I allow this.
Ignoring the fact its done.
As the boss is away, Senior dev can make my life hell ;)
example.com has no MX record, so your SMTP server on the sending domain should bounce the message if configured as most SMTP servers are.
EDIT: for clarity to those who find this answer in the future, here is an explanation of what an MX record is:

EDIT2: EMC has dropped our warranty and support, so this is going to be an insurance case. Don't know how HP/Dell/Cisco will respond yet.

@MarkM Yup. +1'd it when I woke.... We had something similar (all server and network gear, no SAN) when they demo'd and rebuilt our NO. Constrution Co swore they could protect our gear, district refused the outages to move it all (and wouldn't pay to temporarily store it all somewhere else for 30 days)....
Pauska: "Hi, yeah, we're got concrete dust in our SAN, can you suggest anything or is there anything we can do?" EMC: "lol, no. NEW SAN TIEM MONEY PLZZZZZ"
@MarkM we're pushing it all on them, so hopefully they will cover it
And yes, I wish we had a spare server room, a spare A/C unit, spare core switches, spare fibre connections etc, but this small business with onsite server room
I'll tell you one thing though.. I'm going to push hard for colo rack space..
Our Cisco partner has responded with a "maybe". They might send someone to open up the gear to see if it's damaged.
Dell told us to clean it with professional partners, but I havent gotten a written guarantee about that. HP is still silent.
I promised an update with the information that I received from my survey of pay types, and here it is.
