11:00 PM
this sounds like a SQL system sysadmin job..
 
@WesleyDavid you want to try?
 
not actual DBA work where you design databases
(judging from the posting)
 
we really just need more Windows people... all-arounders are welcome
 
@ewwhite sign me up - my last cert was MCSA 03 though
 
@ewwhite any idea why they are requiring powershell skills? Very few admins use it for anything more than pasting stuff from the net (so far)
 
11:03 PM
for scripts to do things like billing and chargeback... integration with our AWS offerings...
just knowledge
 
@pauska Haven't used 2012 at all
 
@ewwhite The monthly travel does skeeve me a bit. Considering that today mom is grinding through another migraine. Trying to get her into a neurological institute here in Phoenix, Barros, to get more insight into this.
 
@ewwhite You're hiring?
 
Oh I'm an idiot... scavenging isn't enabled and so the timestamp column doesn't get updated >.<
 
Wait, timestamp is still used when scavenging is off
...isn't it?
 
11:08 PM
@RyanRies feck?
 
Also, the HR person just said the position I was on the call for was 75
I think every job in Philly is listed at 75
 
@MDMarra yah, I believe so...
 
@ewwhite Telecommute?
 
@MDMarra the 3par stuff?
 
@pauska No, VMWare at a marketing company
 
11:10 PM
@MDMarra @voretaq7 Sorry, that wasn't totally accurate, let me rephrase that in the form of an old SF question:

Q: DNS Record Timestamps Are Not Updating on Server 2008 R2 DNS Server

TonyDI have 2 Server 2008 R2 domain controllers with a AD integrated DNS zone for the domain. Previously, scavenging was not enabled. I enabled scavenging a week ago and now that I am seeing old stale records go away, I am also noticing that about 80% of my DNS record timestamps arent updating prope...

 
@MDMarra See link.
 
@pauska I got the 3par place up to 85 but I had other concerns so I passed
@ewwhite It's that goddamn DBA job
I looked at that before
 
@MDMarra 85k isn't that bad, is it? compared to where you live?
 
Honestly, I don't see much SQL DBA work
but a shitload of AD needs.
 
@pauska Market for the scale of the job is probably 110, but they wanted someone to grow into it.
 
11:11 PM
for people with private/public/hybrid clouds...
 
85k isn't an awful offer on that job, tbh
 
and because we're trying to help people get their stuff into AWS, too
 
But the office was grungy and the directors attitude was concerning
 
so scripting...
 
I script like a pro
Until I see a pro script
 
11:13 PM
@MDMarra yea storage work is usually good money, but I wasn't aiming at that.. 85k for sysadmin work is better than medium most places..

Q: SSL error when connecting to my Hotmail account, redirected to www.airbnb.com

user1974337I really need your help here. No matter what connection I use (wifi, ethernet and even my phone's 3G!), a successful connection to my Hotmail account always ends up with an SSL certificate mismatch. I'm always being redirected to www.airbnb.com. I first thought about a MITM, but with my phone re...

 
"General Networking skills required (Layer 2 & 3 switches, TCP/IP, SNMP, etc.); Cisco, Extreme Networks"
 
@MDMarra cuz we have cisco and extreme
 
I have experience in every single thing on that list, except vCloud and powershell
stupid US immigration laws.. :P
 
@pauska nobody knows vCloud
 
11:15 PM
@pauska I don't network
I could learn it
Is that a dealbreaker
 
I just haven't done vCloud
 
@MDMarra easy peasy honestly
 
and no degree
 
no... if you looked at the Linux ad and what I do, there's a disparity.
 
on cisco its just one big text file really
 
11:15 PM
heh
is it telecommute?
 
What I would do for a telecommute job.
 
@MDMarra can be
 
Going to light my friend on fire.
 
@MDMarra @voretaq7 "Once a timestamp is set on a record it will replicate around to all servers that host the zone. There is one caveat to this. If scavenging is not enabled on the zone that hosts the record then it will never scavenge so the timestamp is essentially irrelevant. The timestamp may get updated on the server where the client dynamically registers but it will not replicate around to the other servers in the zone."
 
anyone here done WSUS with downstream servers?
 
11:18 PM
That has to be what I'm seeing.
 
dizzam!
Could you wait at least a few minutes so that I can get some help, sysadmin1138? This is not off-topic, I need opinion from networking experts. — user1974337 5 mins ago
 
@pauska not in a long time
 
hmm so faq is a FAQ link... is [about] an about link
guess not...
 
maks down for markdown again
 
@pauska YES
oops, caps
you're talking about replicas, right?
 
11:25 PM
I didn't link FAQ; it was automagically linked by DEVOPS.
 
@MichaelHampton no, it was linked by moderator who figured that was easier than typing a new message :)
 
@voretaq7 Haha. Ok, that's better.
 
[faq] is a magic symbol that inserts [FAQ](http://site/faq)
 
See his latest...
 
@voretaq7 so is [ask]
and [answer]
 
11:28 PM
Maybe, but I'm just asking for some time. I'm talking to humans, not machines. I bet someone could find an admin thinking that this is not off-topic. — user1974337 2 mins ago
 
[so] [su] [mso] as well as stuff like [unix.se]
 
@MDMarra Is all this documented somewhere?
 
@MichaelHampton but we're all machines here!
 
@MichaelHampton meta stackoverflow
somewhere
godspeed
 
how the unholy fuck did that get an upvote?
 
11:30 PM
@voretaq7 I have no idea.
 
@voretaq7 I has answer! It was @ScottPack.
 
You're talking to humans. Humans that are professional sysadmins. Professional sysadmins that come to this site for questions about their profession, not to help users with their phone problems. — MDMarra 20 secs ago
 
@WesleyDavid que?
 
And that "answer" is so on the border of not being an answer at all...
 
I was totally eating a fantastic pizza. I know not what you're referring to.
 
11:32 PM
@MichaelHampton that answer is not an answer, and if any more comments show up on it I'm going to shove the whole question out an airlock.
...I'm sorry. strip it naked and shove it out an airlock
 
I would also like to point out that I've not voted, up or down, since the 15th.
 
EEEE YouTube has a B5 clip I want. Happy Day!
 
...does it only take 3 migrate votes to move something?
FWIW, I did not vote to migrate this crap:

@r.tanner.f Except on SO, yes.
 
@ScottPack You are unamerican.
 
11:35 PM
would you like to flag it for free flag points? :)
 
ohh, ya =D lol
 
@MDMarra "phone problems"? Are you kidding me? Bad faith will lead you nowhere - work on your reading comprehension, please. — user1974337 1 min ago
I've had enough of this jackass.
 
@r.tanner.f IST NICE DIS FLAGGE POYNTS, JA?? JA!!
 
aaand that gets deleted when I leave my office for the day.
 
I totally flagged that.
 
11:37 PM
I cleared all the flags as helpful and stuck it in a corner.
@r.tanner.f it made a nice bouncing noise as it hit the pavement
CHALLENGE
Remove all your keycaps

@voretaq7 Damnit, it's locked. That means nobody can vote to delete that crap.
 
@MichaelHampton don't worry, it's going away in about 15 minutes
 
His other question is quite ... interesting.

Q: Building a weird OS from scratch - specific questions

user1974337When it comes to programming, I have a special philosophy that no current operating system can support. I'm not going to explain the whole thing here, but this is the reason I wish to write an OS from scratch (I don't want to depend on someone else's code). I know that this may sound foolish, but...

 
only reason I'm leaving it up is so they can actually read the comments that have been left.
SO can deal with his trolling on their own, they're grown-ups
well... they can deal with his trolling on their own. :P
 
Oh, I mainly thought it interesting that he used that "I'm talking to humans, not machines" line.
 
11:48 PM
@MichaelHampton how does he know?
Machines have passed the turing test
 
@voretaq7 I think he's guessing.
 
@voretaq7 unlike some of the people on SF
 
@DennisKaarsemaker What are you impl....UNHANDLED EXCEPTION IN MODERATOR64.EXE
 
hmm, didn't think you were 64-bit capable
 
Anybody have a link for a good read on why a split namespace will cause headaches?
 
11:54 PM
@MichaelHampton Assburgers detected
 
@r.tanner.f because you need to make duplicate records for the public and private zones. because if you have a trust with an external organization, they'll hate you. because certificates become tricky for things that are exposed internally and externally
 
ahhh makes sense
 
Also, you can't get to your external website using domain.com
Your domain controllers will self-register records for that zone
 
@DennisKaarsemaker you thin kI could store this much useless information in a 32-bit address space?
 
@r.tanner.f And since your internal clients will see them as authoritative for that zone, you'll either have to use www. (or something) or run IIS with a redirect on all of your DCs
 
11:57 PM
@MDMarra Hold up, I'm able to access my external website like that...
and there's no IIS redirect on our DCs
 
@r.tanner.f probably because your AD is under a separate subdomain
 
If your internal AD domain name is identical to your external one, you cant
if your internal domain name is a subdomain of your external one, you're fine
 
oh, chrome was fixing it for me
 
And you should do it that way
 
@voretaq7 heh true. All the SF crap and your collection of porn would be too much or that
 
11:57 PM
@MDMarra This.
 
ad.company.com is what I recommend
 
@DennisKaarsemaker Oh no, the porn is stored by a helper process (also 64-bit).
@MDMarra I believe that's what MS recommends these days too
 
And just make the netbios name of the domain $company and make a upn for @company.com so users never need to know the fqdn
@voretaq7 always has been
people just get it twisted
 
Do we have an SSL 101 canonical answer? serverfault.com/questions/472564/…
 
@MDMarra Win2K era training just taught you to use mydomain.com
 
11:59 PM
@MDMarra what do you think o using a separate top level domain (xmpl.com vs example.com). Our AD guys found it a neat idea but I'm sceptical
 
@WesleyDavid Check the list on Meta but I don't think so
 
@DennisKaarsemaker why pay for two domain names?
 
@DennisKaarsemaker Dislike
It's just as easy to use a subdomain
