8:01 PM

@voretaq7 Thanks for hotlinking to my blog.

Reminds me, I need to make a wildly inappropriate hotlinking swapout image for my sites.

I'm thinking photoshop + hotmale.com == WINNING!

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid mrr?

I only ever thieve images for here and occasionally twitter - I'm very polite about not stealing bandwidth

Also I may still have my hotlinking PHP script somewhere

(it turns it into an animated image with "THIEF! THIEF! THIEF!" flashing in random spots)

also how the hell did @WesleyDavid become the top google image hit for "Jesse James pay up sucker tattoo"?

::eyes kitty warily::

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 Because I taught that punk everything he knows about collecting debts.

@voretaq7 BTW, I'm a hotlinking arch criminal. I do it all the time. For the lulz.

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid from my understanding West Coast Choppers was a fiscal disaster -- You may need to give him a few more lessons :)

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 I taught him how to collect debt, but sadly he didn't ask for lessons on pricing and scaling.

Jeff Ferland

@WesleyDavid nice... when you do develop that, pass it along to the $10k/tb asker.

voretaq7

8:07 PM

@WesleyDavid I've seen his parts prices - if he were collecting he wouldn't have financial problems.

SpacemanSpiff

any crossfitters in here?

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 And this is why I come up high on the list for Jesse Jame's pay up sucker tattoo: thenubbyadmin.com/2010/06/04/…

That and I knows mah SEOs

SpacemanSpiff

laugh your ass off here, either way: forgingelitesarcasm.com

WesleyDavid

@SpacemanSpiff Yeah, @ScottPack can help you. Wait, crossfitters? Sorry, thought you said crossdressers.

Scott Pack

@WesleyDavid It's called a kilt you cheese licking surrender pussy!

WesleyDavid

8:10 PM

@ScottPack Cunt butler.

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid but you don't mention "jesse james" or "tattoo" anywhere in the article...

what did you do to google?

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 that's why my SEOs are superior.

You know, on the topic of crossdressing, I did have a fascination with rupaul when I was growing up. Maybe if this whole "IT Thing" doesn't work out I can give that a try.

3

I already know more about heels than any of my prior girlfriends or current girls-who-are-friends. Is that normal?

SpacemanSpiff

I was always kind of partial to Roy Rogers myself

WesleyDavid

Wonder what Rupaul is up to these days.

Scott Pack

About 6'4"?

Jacob

8:13 PM

@ScottPack Nice

MarkM

Bear with me here, I'm about to get crazy. From a user experience side IE9 isn't the worst thing I've ever used.

WesleyDavid

@ScottPack I would say 6'8" at least

Jacob

@MarkM WHAAAAAATTTTTT?!????!???!??????????????

WesleyDavid

Oh wait, flatfooted or with stripper heels on?

Scott Pack

@WesleyDavid As far as I'm concerned, anything over 5'11" is freakishly tall, so it doesn't matter.

Iain

8:14 PM

one to reopen serverfault.com/questions/339958/…

84104

@MarkM But is it worth the op cost?

MarkM

@Jacob I'm giving it a shot since I can't sync icloud bookmarks with FF or chrome

WesleyDavid

@MarkM IE hasn't been bad since version 8. 9 is a nice improvement. They're actually jumping on the standards bandwagon.

voretaq7

@MarkM FILTHY HEATHEN!

2

MarkM

angrybirds.chrome.com still works in IE9, so

Scott Pack

8:15 PM

@Iain How is that not an exact dupe?

MarkM

It passed my usability test

WesleyDavid

@MarkM In life, Angry Birds are all that really matter.

Scott Pack

Suck it, @WesleyDavid!

They got my height wrong, though - I'm actually 6'4"

@ScottPack I bet you conspired with him.

MarkM

@WesleyDavid her

WesleyDavid

8:16 PM

@MarkM He's not trans. Just crossdressing.

Zoredache

@ScottPack different piece of equipment mentioned in each post. The question I have, is the solution different, why couldn't he have just summarized both in a single question/answer

Scott Pack

@Zoredache I just realized the transceivers were different, yeah. You're probably right, though. Likely the same problem and same fix.

Iain

Q: Adding the IP Failover on FreeBSD

I've just bought a dedicated server in OVH.com and they are sending me some warnings in email that I haven't configured my IP Failover address correctly. So, the question is, how should IP Failover be configured properly in FreeBSD 8.2?

WesleyDavid

@Zoredache I have to say, you have the least confrontation way out of all ServerFault denizens. of saying "Your question is crappy."

voretaq7

8:20 PM

"Q: How do I configure failover" -- "A: Why can't people ask good questions"?

Scott Pack

Hey @WesleyDavid, I have a question if you've got a moment.

WesleyDavid

@ScottPack The answer is ponies. It's always ponies.

Zoredache

@WesleyDavid, I do try to be helpful, when someone asks why their question was closed. I am sure you could find comments where I have been a bit more harsh then I needed to be.

Scott Pack

@WesleyDavid WHY THE FUCK ARE MY CROPS STILL WITHERED?!!!?!?!?ONE!!

Holocryptic

@WesleyDavid I've been saying that for months

Chris S

8:22 PM

@voretaq7 This is why I don't usually advocate FreeBSD to business people. Because people without a fricking clue will buy in, try it, not understand, then proceed to slander the OS when they can't figure it out...

WesleyDavid

@ScottPack Because digital chocolate has yet to fix my problem of not being able to visit neighbors.

Scott Pack

ಠ_ಠ

SpacemanSpiff

mmm... digital chocolate...

voretaq7

@ChrisS That is why I advocate hiring competent sysadmins :-)

2

MarkM

I fucking love the Internet

Holocryptic

8:23 PM

@WesleyDavid Is that anything like Chocolate Rain?

WesleyDavid

@ChrisS FreeBSD's support contracts also have a strange tendency to require blood and an understanding of runes to make binding.

MarkM

I'm taking a course over the next month and Google Books has the book

Chris S

@voretaq7 Yeah? And how often does that go over well?

Holocryptic

@MarkM You like IE9. Your argument is invalid

MarkM

Fuck yeah not paying $50 for a text book

Shads0

8:23 PM

@Holocryptic Do some stay dry while others feel the pain?

MarkM

:(

voretaq7

@ChrisS 90% of the companies I'VE worked for have been perfectly satisfied with their BSD infrastructures :-)

Chris S

@WesleyDavid The who what?

Holocryptic

@Shads0 I'm in pain right now...

voretaq7

(the remainder switched to Windows, and are just as dissatisfied with that.)

Shads0

8:23 PM

@Holocryptic Chop it off, duh

WesleyDavid

@Holocryptic I always thought "chocolate rain" was code for some kind of feces fetish.

3

Chris S

@voretaq7 Same here so long as competent people are around.

WesleyDavid

@ChrisS FreeBSD support companies are mystical to work with methinks.

Holocryptic

@Shads0 Well, seeing it's not getting much use right now. Although it's still higher up. Haven't hit the final run yet

MikeyB

@ScottPack Fun fact (that I discovered when some counterfeit Cisco SFPs got into our supply chain): the SFP validation code on the Nexus switches apparently depends on the particular slot and whether it's validating the SFP during boot or during normal operation.

Shads0

8:25 PM

Thought it was gettting a lazor fired at it?

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid FreeBSD support companies are there to support a competent admin staff. Very few exist that will be your IT department the way (e.g.) RedHat tries to.

Scott Pack

@MikeyB That sounds.....less than ideal

Chris S

@WesleyDavid I guess I don't know what experiences you've had... I've only had two types, those who are easy going, laid back, and generally great to work with; and those who claim to know what they're doing, but don't, they tend to be harder to work with (and usually end up recommending switching to something different; ie something they actually know instead of just claiming that they know).

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 If by competent you mean "Are you on this list: freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/contributors/… and if not ESAD" then I agree

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid I'm not on that list, but I consider myself quite competent.

WesleyDavid

8:26 PM

@voretaq7 ESAD

:P

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid I worked for an ISP. I ESAS'd

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 Oooo, kewl. Always thought it would be neat to work for an ISP. Then again, I do have a self-loathing streak in me.

I even looked into starting a WISP here in the Phoenix area.

Okay, laters. Gotta figure out why PHP isn't sending teh mails.

its_me α

Hi, would it be just fine if I ask this question on SF? "I have the main server with a US-based web host that also operates a datacenter in Amsterdam. If I have to choose Sweden (instead of Amsterdam), I would have to go with another service provider. So, based on this, which backup server location to choose: one in Amsterdam (cheaper 'coz it's the same provider) or the one in Sweden (safer location I guess?)?"

voretaq7

@its_meα The answer you get would be something to the effect of "We can't answer this for you, you need to evaluate the providers and make a call based on your business needs"

Chris S

@voretaq7 Ditto + Closed as Too Local

MikeyB

8:32 PM

@its_meα You had better decide on what criteria you want to evaluate your choices. And once you've decided that, you'll find that you already have the answer and it's not suitable for SF.

its_me α

oh... okay.

voretaq7

@its_meα Questions like "which of these is best" aren't something we can usually answer - It's like asking "Is Linux better than Windows?" -- It's entirely dependent on what you're going to do with it.

its_me α

@voretaq7 got it.

Q: Why is business-class storage so expensive?

There are many questions on Server Fault asking why server storage is so expensive. e.g. Why do I have to pay 50 bucks a month per extra gigabyte of storage or Our file server is always running out of space, why doesn't our sysadmin just throw an extra 1TB drive in there? Thes...

storage pricing

that just came up in my RSS feed

MarkM

Its ooold

and canonical

though not tagged as such

AdrianK

9:08 PM

@MarkM Nice answer for Mr. $10K/TB-Man re: Google.

Chris S

@Basil I just edited it... As MarkM said it's the cononical answer to "Why is storage expensive?"

Basil

It's a little... aged :)

well, the first paragraph at least.

Chris S

@AdrianK That guy went from "inexperienced junior admin" to "clueless dev or user" when he brought up Google.

MarkM

@AdrianK Thanks. It's not the first time I've had to tell people that they cant compare their two racks to google

Chris S

Rob Moir

that'll do it

pauska

@ScottPack: this little hint might help you along the way later on: ntpD

Aaron

ntpduh

pauska

I use open ntpd all the time on my vm hosts (vmware tools sync blows) with that special flag (that I can't remember right now) that enables it to sync no matter how far skew it is

Chris S

@pauska ntpd tends to freak out when the CMOS clock is way the heck off. As is the case in some embedded systems without battery backed RTCs.

pauska

9:35 PM

hence the flag I'm talking about

Chris S

Easier to setup the system to run ntpdate on boot and ntpd thereafter to keep it synced.

pauska

or set open ntpd to run at boot with the flag

!!!!!!!

Chris S

-g I think is what you're looking for.

pauska

yeah im trying to open up the manpage in ssh here, but Origin (EA) is literally killing my poor little dd-wrt router while downloading at 4,6MB/s...

84104

@ChrisS The gangsta flag. It don't care where you come from. It will tell you what time it is.

pauska

9:38 PM

 -s          Try to set the time immediately at startup, as opposed to
             slowly adjusting the clock.  ntpd will stay in the foreground
             for up to 15 seconds waiting for one of the configured NTP
             servers to reply.

Chris S

I love my Alix router, I've pushed 8MBps through it and it doesn't even break a sweat.

84104

@pauska openntpd flag? I can't see it on ntpd.

Chris S

-s statsdir
Specify the directory path for files created by the statistics
facility. This is the same operation as the statsdir statsdir

84104

@ChrisS BSD people?

Chris S

@84104 FreeBSD comes with ISC NTP.

voretaq7

@84104 nope. I use ISC NTP

pauska

@ChrisS Open up man ntpd on freebsd and read the bottom section

I always replace it with openbsd's one.. its tiny and hasnt gotten any vulns (yet that I know of)

voretaq7

9:44 PM

@pauska ISC NTPd is relatively secure. Hasn't had anything in a while.

Scott Pack

@pauska ntpd silently dies if the time is too far off.

pauska

what the hell - there is a expansion pack for bf3 already?

Scott Pack

I think the battery died on this motherboard.

voretaq7

@ScottPack bah, wire up a nice DIE-HARD

ITLLBEFINE!

Chris S

Meh; ntpd is taking up ~12MB of RAM on my home server... Not enough for me to bother ripping it out and replacing it, though you do have a small point there.

voretaq7

9:47 PM

Q: How to check if UUID generated is correct?

My company get custom made motherboard from a vendor. Recently, we requested them to put UUID in our SMBIOS. They did it for us. According to them, they use a program to generate UUID Version 5 (SHA-1 hash). Details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier When we received the...

uuid

how do I tell if this unique number is really unique?

voretaq7

9:56 PM

@Aaron Compare it to every other UUID ever generated.

(insert my rant about there being no way to guarantee the G or U aspect of these UIDs unless there's a centralized repository of every one ever generated/assigned that we check against here)

Aaron

I lay claim to 4353889FDC3453

voretaq7

@Aaron I lay claim to 0.

and DEADBEEFBEEFDEAD

Chris S

@voretaq7 There should have been a central repository that handed out some prefix, companies would be responsible for ensuring uniqueness within their assigned range(s). But that would have been too easy... apparently it's better to use a truncated hash generator (which theoretically is guaranteed to output a repeat value eventually).

voretaq7

@ChrisS Ayup.

Chris S

It's not like we have some Authority for Numbers Assigned on the Internet or anything already in place.

WesleyDavid

Stack Overflow Blog: Come Here Often?

Posted by Alison Sperling on December 14th, 2011

The holiday season is upon us, and as another year comes to an end, it is Stack Overflow Annual User Survey time again! So, take a break from wrapping gifts and come tell us about yourself. We promise it will only take a few minutes of your time.

Of course, as the “annual” implies, we’ve been running a survey for a few years now, including last year’s survey which marked the first time the anonymous data was formally used in support of selling advertising on Stack Overflow and Server Fault. This data is an important part of keeping the lights on around here, and, as a user of either of those two sites, or any Stack Exchange site for that matter, we ask you to participate. …

apparently that didn't eat our chat link

(but it ate Meta's)

Holocryptic

10:33 PM

@voretaq7 cuz that's the main blog, not SF blog

voretaq7

important question: If I take survey, do I get tasty survey-gopher soup?

@Holocryptic I know why, but it's actually something relevant to our interests

and it has a gopher.

Iain

@voretaq7 I didn't and it is sort of SO orientated

voretaq7

I like gophers.

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 What do you mean by "soup"? The last 30 minutes of conversation has totally messed with my mind.

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid When a man loves a gopher very much, and skins, guts, and cubes the gopher, then puts him in a pot of boiling water with some spices....

@Aaron since the method used was supposedly based on a sha1 hash of other data, I would want o know what data they feed into the sha1 algorithm. Was it just a random number, or was it a mac address or something else?

Of all vices, my lifelong one has been my mouth. I've sworn like a longshoreman since I was five. You should have heard me playing with my nerf basketball set as a five year old.

voretaq7

I'd love to show off my SF rep as a giant e-peen for prospective employers. But they'd also see these chat transcripts.

WesleyDavid

@voretaq7 Come to think of it, I list ServerFault on LinkedIn I think.

I just hoped that most employers wouldn't think to search the site for chat transcripts.

voretaq7

On the one hand they show I'm a competent individual who disappears from the chatroom whenever I have work that doesn't allow for concurrent chatting.
On the other hand.... tits. boobies. cock. fuck.

@WesleyDavid Dude.... where's my car? Oh.. there it is in the tree.

these searches are apparently showing up in the history too.

Holocryptic

@MikeyB FUCK. YOU.

And I say that with all the love in the world

MikeyB

:) The people who needed to see that saw it.

voretaq7

Although with the way this kidney stone is (not) moving, it doesn't look good for me in the indeterminate future

and don't worry @Holocryptic - your future employers can get it by googling around.

Holocryptic

@Aaron Start yelling

Aaron

@Holocryptic, that'd work if I was actually talking to someone

voretaq7

@Holocryptic see the urologist yet? Can they bust it with ultrasound>

@Aaron I find that if you mutter into the phone "The first engineer I get I will kill them and eat their offspring" every so often it moves you up in the queue.

@Aaron Press 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

@voretaq7 I keep forgetting the number at home...

Aaron

10:56 PM

@Aaron other wonderful phrases are "When I find the cocksucker responsible for this hold music I will insert them face-first into my spare 6500 chassis."

Holocryptic

Imma call tomorrow though

Aaron

@voretaq7, does it have to be a spare one? That way we can mix in some -48VDC

@Holocryptic, urologist?
