reading this question; serverfault.com/questions/296227/… it appears Hyper-V doesn't allow you to configure its virtual switches to not allow mac spoofing, arp poisoning etc. Is that the case? if so that's a bit shit, where's that MS Shill when you need him

@Chopper3 I was actually just going to ask what happened to the MS fan that was here a bit ago...didn't know if someone chased him off or he just got miffed.
Anarko, you should really grab a Hyper-V Book and read up on how its built. The whole of Server 2008 has been built so that they can deploy Hyper-V through it in a secure fashion
@Anarko: Check the wikipedia page on hyper-v and the links from there to wiki articles on hypervisors. That should catch you up to some speed to at least get you into the race.
"Note: Microsoft Hyper-V (released in June 2008)[6] exemplifies a type 1 product that can be mistaken for a type 2. Both the free stand-alone version and the version that is part of the commercial Windows Server 2008 product use a
virtualized Windows Server 2008 parent partition to manage the Type 1 Hyper-V hypervisor. In both cases the Hyper-V hypervisor loads prior to the management operating system, and any virtual environments created run directly on the hypervisor, not via the management operating system."
@MarkM Chopper3 said he found his one, in a attraction park.
It's all in friday chat history
hmm, maybe don't go that back...
it's on the 28th
why did I think on friday....
Evan Anderson 8:20 AM @chopper3: My new, temporary avatar (come on Gravatar) is meant as a gesture of flattery (and, well, hilarity). I saw the subject of the picture and just couldn't resist it. (My wife couldn't figure out why I wanted to have her take the pic but I convinced her to just take it...)
Chopper3 @EvanAnderson the story with that image is that as a kid I LOVED the paddington stories so much that I appeared on a tv show called 'junior mastermaster" answering questions about them. Then a few years ago my family and I went to a really super crappy theme park for a day with another family - I was hating it so much that I had that photo taken of me looking miserable with a childhood 'pal' @EvanAnderson I have to say I utterly love that picture evan, thank you very much indeed - the odd thing is that I've grown a beard like yours over the last month so we don't even look too diff…
My house mortgage is ~$10k/y (with Taxes and Insurance in escrow) which is <20% of my income. The general rule of thumb for buying a house here is to take what you make in a year, multiple by 2 and 3, your house should cost in that range. People commonly rent based on a similar payment as the previous.
Loving my job today, just got asked "How long will it be before your app is finished" to which I replied with a grin "Here is some string, I'll tell you how much to cut when I get the specification"
It staggers me that people will put the effort in to come here to ask a question but won't just type in {model name} manual, press enter then search for like one word
@wfaulk: As I recall there was some brouhaha over using lmgtfy as any sort of answer. Apparently it offended people or offended new people or something.

@BartSilverstrim I think there's a line in the sand somewhere... Telling her to RTFM with a link directly to it is stepping on the line... LMGTFY is well over it.
Not only the poor question, but the fact that he has posted his whole host file, that is full of entries to prevent Adobe software contacting the licence servers for activation
@ChrisS: Personally, I don't jump right to the LMGTFY response. I would try to give the benefit of the doubt...straight link, point it out, and hope it's a little of a "oops, duh" moment for them. By the same token, I don't get all pissy if someone did that to me, though. I might think they're a jerk but I wouldn't rage against them for being an ass unless they pressed the issue.
My point is that we seem to think we have a right not to be offended. If something bothers us, people start campaigns to ban or outlaw that with offends us, or harass the "offender" into silence.
Tomtom is about as offensive as they come on the site but I wouldn't ban him unless he were actually harassing people, which he doesn't.
Your line in the sand for me is just a line to tell me someone is either having a bad day or someone I don't really want to talk to. Not someone to censor.
Does Hyper-V have any form of licence management built in, I know for instance that an enterprise version lets you have some (5?) standard edition VMs running on it before you hit a licence wall, DC version may be unlimited - but is there any code to deal with this or is it on a trust basis?
@Chopper3 The activation process enforces it to an extent... Standard can only be activated 3 times on real hardware and 3 more on virtual. Enterprise 3 real, 15 VM. DC unlimited both. Call it "Trust, and verify if we feel like it"
@Chopper3 There's a dozen different types of license keys. The above info is only for Retail keys. MSDN keys are good for 500 activations, then have to call and get it reset for the next 500. VL (KMS) keys are unlimited, but they'll look at the data when you renew your licenses at the end of the year. Academic are variations of the aforementioned licenses. And that's just different license types, there's also license bundles!
Also SPLA, Partner Keys, and I'm sure I'm missing something....
Lots of additional swipe gestures. I changed the mouse-scrolling behavior, it went backwards for me.
Compatibility doesn't seem too big an issue, as long as you read up on the issues with MS Office.
(I don't use it so... :-p )
Oh, and it needs to re-download Java afterwards.
FileVault 2 actually works with Time Machine properly now.
That's a plus. I just have to eject my TM disk before taking my notebook for a walk instead of logging off and waiting for my encrypted disk image to sync up. Saves a LOT of time.
@Jacob: I just made sure I had a fully updated Time Machine backup and took the plunge. If anything goes catastrophically wrong, you can restore from backup.
@Jacob: I also made a bootable DVD in case there are problems. You can find instructions online, but you have to make it at the step AFTER you download the installer, but BEFORE you run the installer.
There's a restore feature that lets you boot to a restore partition in lion, even reinstalling OS X via the Internet, but I don't know how that would work if the drive fries completely.
(hence the DVD image)
Otherwise I've not run into any major issues, knock on wood.
Right now Nassau County (where I live) is holding a special referendum on spending $400M for a new hockey stadium. So if you don't know where your polling place is, or the hours, etc. you would normally go to www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/BOE/index.html and look it up
That site seems to be down from me (from my office, our datacenter, my datacenter, and AT&T via my iPhone). Conspiracy, or just the usual gross incompetence we have around here?
naw, packets are bouncing back and forth between 12.148.224.65 & 12.148.224.99. Either someone hosed internal routing or someone was told to make the site inaccessible for a while. (I am leaning toward incompetence. This county SUCKS -- Largest Export: Talented People. Largest Import: Red Ink.)
He got good answers, Fedora is more of a desktop OS then server OS. It is a really basic question. The move seems fine. I think it would have been valid on SF. But it is just as fine on SU.
@tombull89, his hosts file before someone edited it included the records to redirect requests to the adobe registration server to localhost. - superuser.com/questions/317692/…
cheaper, safer, and you'll never wind up removing the --help file you just created as a message in a bottle for your assistant to come get you out of the locked storage closet in subbasement 7B
When I search for info on a command, if I see a return from LinuxForums.com I can guarantee that at least the first three answers will be some variant of "man command "
Also, in regards to @BartSilverstrim on packet sniffing: Do encapsulated packets smell like double rainbows?
@WesleyDavid If you search for my username on SF you can guarantee that 75% of my answers will end with "See man commandname (link to manpage) for more information", or "For the love of god buy DNS and BIND before you try to run a freakin' nameserver!"
A boolean passes a friend in the hall, and notes he looks quite depressed. The friend vaguely recalls a recent family tragedy and asks, "Hey, is it true your parents died last week in a Garbage Collection accident?" The boolean replies, "Yeah, and now I've got no place to live, either." The friend is shocked, and asks, "But weren't you in their will?" The boolean sighs and says, "Nope, no will, no inheritance..."
@lovesh First. search for your answer. If none is found, then ask it in a detailed and thorough manner, making sure to lay out your concerns and ask a specific question - without apologies. If you get flamed, it will only be by the baser members of the community that should probably be ignored anyway.
If it's better suited for another site, then it will be moved there, not to annoy or punish you, but to make sure that your question is better served by the proper audience.
Yes, that's true for lin-zone2. Basically, anything that would be "above" the VPS is the provider's issue to deal with. So if Xen burps and causes VPS issues, or if their firewalls go wonky or server's go down... then it's on their heads to support and fix.
And yes, you can get a shared account and move it to the VPS. I've done that several times so far - moved a shared account to my VPS.
VPS-Zone doesn't offer shared accounts though, only VPSs. Hence the name "VPS Zone" =)
For a brief period, yes. Most of the delay would be from DNS propagation, but if you lower the TTL values down to 5 seconds or so, cutting over to the new server should only take a few minutes - depending on what the site is used for.
@WesleyDavid so if i get a shared hosting from Fatcow and move it to a VPS on VPS zone it wud bring down the site for some time? or is it even possible?
Yes, it would interrupt the site's service for anywhere from just a few minutes to a fwe hours depending on how much content needs to be migrated. If it takes 2 hours to replicate all content, then you can't have your users using the site for two hours so there's no conflicts with content.
Most VPSs give you a 1GBit pipe, and let's generously say that 100MBits will be available... so... let's say 10MBytes a sec... that'll take maybe 15 minutes
A transition without interruption is almost always possible, it just takes planning ahead. The exact details depend heavily on how your application/site works.
@lovesh It would bring the site down only if you could not make the FatCow server either act as a proxy or code your web application to send database communication to the VPS during the transition.
It's possible to transfer without interruption, but more specific detail on the application and the hosts would be necessary.
@lovesh 1) I don't know a lot, but thanks for the complement. =) 2) I don't work for a hosting company. 3) I work as an independent contractor for small business so I've had to deal with shared hosting accounts more than I wish I did.
Yes, the company in my profile is just my contracting business. Perhaps some day I'll host my own services but not today.
