12:00 AM
awww.....
he didn't make it
 
@DennisKaarsemaker You're first!
 
Hey, I didn't actually downvote anything!
I think I only repcapped once when I was really bored. I'm terrible at repwhoring.
Can't be arsed to answer questions that aren't interesting. Sadly, there aren't too many interesting questions :)
 
@DennisKaarsemaker there are loads of questions that are interesting. You just need to expand your interests. :p
 
@Zoredache ok, let me rephrase that: I'm too fucking lazy.
 
12:15 AM
house-hunting...
 
@ewwhite fun!
@ewwhite tip: if you want to catch a house, be quiet and pretend to be a big garden. They think you'll be a nice place to nest in and might even grow a shed.
 
@ewwhite Does that mean you're hunting for your paypal logon so that you can contribute to my house fund? :D
 
@MDMarra "House, Md(Marra)"?
 
something like that
 
@MDMarra naw...
 
12:18 AM
I'll contribute a door. You just have to pick it up here :)
 
Getting pretty pissed. Submitted an expense report three times now. They keep claiming that they don't receive my receipts. Last time I called them as I faxed and got a verbal confirmation that they got my receipts. Again they email me claiming that they never received my receipts. Beginning to suspect conspiracy.
 
@ewwhite :(
 
You're a rich asshole
 
Loading way too slow for $820K
 
12:19 AM
Do they think that kids room looks nice?
 
asher? What kind of name is that...
 
@DennisKaarsemaker Might be missing some letters, or the rest are just crooked.
I think they meant "Sleep As Her"
 
@ewwhite nice, right across the street from the community center
 
Yeah, that's weird to me... why do people put their kids' names on the wall?
 
Only one sink in the master bath!? Come on now.... It's like they're not even trying.
Oh, nevermind, there it is. Hidden behind the picture frame of Asherton.
@RyanRies Certified mail next?
 
12:24 AM
@RyanRies how far away are they? Is it time to deliver in person?
 
@Zoredache It's some far away land, probably in India.
 
@jscott messed up name
 
@ewwhite helps them recognize the letters in their name when they're really little
 
@Tanner I didn't have that! And look how I turned out.
 
What a deal, only 30K for a second parking spot.
 
@ewwhite I like the look of that one way more.
It's pretty cool
 
You'd go mad if you needed a new couch and couldn't find one with the proper radius
 
You'd need to do something about those kitchen cabinets and appliances right away though.
 
The place we lost to another bidder last week... has suddenly come back on the market.
the deal fell through.
 
Good, fuck those other guys
 
12:29 AM
@Tanner if you can afford a 600k house, you can afford a bespoke couch with the proper radius :)
 
Haha good point
 
@JoelESalas so the seller is offering us the place...
 
@ewwhite Take them to the cleaners
 
@Tanner I would just replace it with a array of chairs.
2
 
@Zoredache array traversal is too slow, an unstructured buttspace like a couch is more DEVOPS
 
@JoelESalas couchbase! desktopcouch!
 
@ewwhite That's absolutely beautiful
 
@ewwhite whoa...
 
@JoelESalas that's a midrange loft here...
 
12:34 AM
4000sqft!!!!
 
Wow.
 
It has a mofo'ing SWING in it!
 
That has a fucking swing dude
oh, apparently the swing was covered already
2
 
@MDMarra looks more like a kiddie swing than a fucking swing to me
 
So the stuff I want is a little out of my range.
 
12:36 AM
That kitchen is unreal.
 
@ewwhite what? You don't have 1.8m?
 
@DennisKaarsemaker NO :(
 
noob
 
@ewwhite I am disappoint.
 
It's 2013, everyone has 1.8m, amirite?
can you tell me why someone would need a swing in their livingroom though?
 
12:39 AM
Why not?
 
"Listen Lionel, we really need something to set this property apart"

"You know what Woolworth, you're right. Why don't we add a swing in the living room?"

"Brilliant!"
 
Sadly I have the same problem as ewwhite. Lack of a million or two.
 
@MDMarra There's nowhere else to put it?
 
oh, right
 
The nearest actual yard is at least five miles away?
 
12:42 AM
Why don't you just grow an indoor yard
I mean, it's 4000 sqft
 
Bugs.
 
You can get grass without bugs
 
Maybe they have a murphy bed fold out lawn.
 
4k sq ft is just over 1/10 of an acre
 
yeah, I wanna be rich...

Q: Windows - dsmod enforcing password policies?

mphuieI am writing a self service password reset tool for users in my test domain. I would like them to be able to change passwords and not generate a random password. I am using dsmod with a service account to change user passwords and it was working fine, (ie was throwing an error when setting a ...

Damn onebox markdown thing
 
@MDMarra Just tried with dsmod - it rejects bad passwords as expected.... weird.
 
Yeah, there shouldn't be anything different about using a command-line tool
the DCs process it all the same
 
And in some parts of Chicago, it's like Detroit... beautiful housing stock, shit neighborhoods... Live like a king!!
These are places where White people don't want to live...
it'd be a $3 million place in a different neighborhood.
 
so it's like a starter mansion?
it's a gentrify-your-own-hood project?
 
@MDMarra I know what that guy means now.... He's resetting the password and not having to meet history rules (this is normal). If the user tried to change their own password this way, they would get caught on the history rule.
 
1:01 AM
oh right
since it's being reset by a service user
 
@MDMarra we tried that... there was a place in the HOOOOD that was $4xxk and 4000 sqft...
it had a "billiards room"
sold in a week
three people shot on that street the following week
 
So what's he need to change?
 
@jscott I thought he was saying it wasn't respecting complexity
 
So did I until I re-re-read it. :)
 
@Tanner nothing, if it's not respecting age/history then it's working as intended since a service account is resetting it on behalf of the user
@ewwhite sounds awesome
 
1:06 AM
I love these descriptions... every weekend has been house pr0n...
Award winning rowhouse with spectacular amenities & classic design. Four levels with private elevator. 2bdrms, 3.5 baths, can expand to 3bdrms. Custom woodwork, built-ins, whole-house audio, luxe finishes throughout. Large island kitchen. Grand master with custom closets, whirlpool tub, sep shower. Outdoor space of 2 terraces, 2 decks. Upgraded 2 car garage, gated driveway
and a room for my servers!
 
Ha! Bryn Mawr
I thought you were shopping in PA for a second
 
The phrase bryn mawr means "big hill" in Welsh.[6]
there we go
 
@MDMarra Not for all the cheesesteaks and pretzels in Phila.
 
Wonderful buttery soft pretzels for breakfast
@jscott edited that answer a little
hope you dont mind
 
Not at all, thanks :)
 
1:12 AM
So I miscalculated my data center power needs...
 
I took "complexity" out since it's not actually a problem about complexity and I get the feeling this guy might get confused easily
 
It's funny because the .Net guy at my work had asked about the same password "vulnerability" last year.
@MDMarra Makes more sense and has less typos. Good going.
But yes, his question is oddly worded, which I suppose may stem from being unfamiliar with AD terminology/administration.
 
@ewwhite 408v 3ø 30A coming right up
 
@MDMarra so I efffed-up.
 
1:16 AM
electrical stuff is a bummer
turn off that sunfire and you'll be back to 50% overhead
 
It just means that the Thumper is a bad deal
 
ha is that really what got turned on when it jumped?
 
yes
 
yow
zers
 
and I'm not sure what to do with it.
 
1:18 AM
sell it to @WesleyDavid
 
too fucking heavy to ship... nobody wants to buy one...
 
Just leave it under the raised floor, off to the side. They'll find it in 10 years a stick it in a museum.
 
Is there a way you could script a password change as a user? I'd kind of like to hammer this GAPS error a little harder.
 
I could buy a pair of these and be better off...
 
@Tanner net user [username] [password] /domain
err
can't remember if /domain needs to be there or not
too lazy to test
 
1:23 AM
@Tanner Just fyi, the password filters should be triggered on both reset or change -- so you can reset a user's password with your DA account and it should trigger GAPS.
 
what's gaps?
 
Google Apps Password Sync
 
oh
 
can anyone point me toward a good apache book?
 
It's an AD password filter plus tools to sync passwords to Google Apps.
It replaces a bunch of OSS tools that [sort of] did similar things.
 
1:24 AM
@MattBear Apache Cookbook, there's a moose on it
 
@JoelESalas cover apache2?
yes it does... though I'm finding second edition which is 6 years old
well, purchased, and reading, thanks :)
 
@MattBear No problem man
 
@mdmarra new AD build.
9 total locations..
 
@ewwhite dont use .local!!!!!!!!
 
Never use .local. Use .xxx instead.
 
1:32 AM
@ewwhite oh a good one
@MichaelHampton thats actually a valid design decision
 
@MichaelHampton .ceosadouche
 
@MDMarra Assuming you actually register the domain...
 
@MDMarra total of 3 companies...
but internal domain naming...
 
what about it
 
@MichaelHampton serverporn.xxx
 
1:36 AM
@MDMarra complex.
 
why?
 
9 or 10 sites.
 
why's that mean complex naming?
 
I'm getting a list of site codes...
 
site-server-number
 
1:37 AM
cctx.coastcitrus.com
 
what's that? The existing AD namespace?
 
(Coast Citrus Texas)
there is no AD namespace
YET
and I'm trying to get this right.
 
cctx.coastcitrus.local1, cctx.coastcitrus.com.local2, cctx.coastcitrus.com.local3...
 
NO
 
@jscott you done pissed mdmarra off....
 
1:39 AM
@ewwhite ok, well let's talk about it then
 
@MattBear Yes, that was in poor taste, I apologize.
 
@jscott you should be ashamed....
say your sorry
 
I renamed a large production forest to rid myself of .local!
I will kill all .locals that I see
except the ones that @ewwhite pays me to spruce up
 
mdmarra.local will be my new domainname
5
 
he even kills local law enforcement....
just because they are local
 
1:42 AM
@DennisKaarsemaker have a star
 
@DennisKaarsemaker I think Ed was naming servers after him, no kidding. :)
 
shops accross town, because local markets are so bad
 
@MDMarra This is a fresh opportunity.
 
shops at big chains, because he wont support anything local
 
Get AD in place, and start building a real Exchange setup.
 
1:42 AM
@jscott hmm. maybe my next server should then be ewwhite.mdmarra.local :)
 
@DennisKaarsemaker I am still curious what the name of their consulting firm will be.
 
@jscott "White & Marra - Brony consultants"
 
@ewwhite fresher than their fruit?
I'll be here all night folks. Don't forget to tip the wait staff.
 
@MDMarra Actually, there was a salmonella scare...
 
So the honest answer to that is "yes"
 
1:44 AM
@ewwhite Oh shit, with what?
 
@jscott emwdwmhairtrea?
 
@ewwhite "New, salmonella strawberries!"
 
medwmwahrirtae?
 
@MattBear I;m laughing so hard i don't know how to pronounce that.
But it doesn't sound good :)
 
@jscott It's pronounced "living room swing"
It's French
 
1:46 AM
@jscott just smushed the two names together...
 
@ewwhite call me if you want. I like money and this one sounds lucrative
 
Drunken Fish & Black Pee Hands Consulting!
No-Eyes Wally & Whinin' Carlos Hacke?
 
@MDMarra The French were always more comfortable with fucking swings.
 
and garlic
 
2:42 AM
Me and Ed talk business for an hour and everyone goes away
 
It was the garlic
 
true
I need to study for tomorrow's cert exam anyway
 
 
3 hours later…
5:21 AM
@jscott I saw GAPS was updating password changes, even for users disabled in both Google Apps, and AD and regardless of changed it, but today I ran through 10,000 six character password changes and never ran in to the error. I ran in to it twice while doing the password change manually for real users. Not sure what's missing. I'm starting to think I might have been on the wrong track... but 2 character password changes definitely bork it.
*regardless of how I changed it
I dunno. It's haunting me.
 
6:07 AM
@Iain I don't suppose you ever go to stores that would sell this:
 
 
1 hour later…
7:21 AM
@Ward I don't know - they're not something I would pay attention to
@ward all them that I see for sale here appear different (not furry) slothitup.wordpress.com/category/uk-exclusives-2 and amazon.co.uk/TY-Moshi-Monsters-Moshling-Plush/dp/B009XDEK2Y

'ello
 
 
2 hours later…
10:53 AM
hmm.... unix.se is saying that there are no questions
 
11:04 AM
@DennisKaarsemaker There aren't. They sucked, so I deleted them all.
 
@MichaelHampton sounds reasonable. When are you going to fix SU? :)
 
@DennisKaarsemaker Real soon now.

It's our help vampire of the day.
 
@ewwhite slooooooooooooow
 
Gawd, he edited it and made it worse.
 
1:53 PM
Anyone else working on this lovely Saturday?
 
nope. dont even have pants on yet
 
@pauska Do you still need the storage units?
 
I wish I didn't have pants on :(
 
2:15 PM
lol
I never have pants on!
sigh
I'm getting old. I don't remember finding doing a reinstall this annoying
 
Thank you for reviewing 20 Close Votes today; come back in 9 hours to continue reviewing.
It has been a while since I last saw that.
 
Who needs pants? Just another way the man is keeping us down!
 
@Cole nope. Lingerie shopping with the wife in a minute. No pants required.
 
any iphone users here now?
 
@ewwhite I still have my 3GS here somewhere..
 
2:27 PM
My wife does not ever plug her iPhone in to her MacBook Pro.
 
Nope. Never had any iDevice (Not avoiding them, but not paying a high price for a glossy look either)
 
and there are obvious benefits to plugging the phone in...
charging, syncing, backups, updates...
 
I have a feeling this is something about it automatically managing music, photos etc?
 
well, she's one of those people who tries to use her iPhone without syncing to anything
like she buys apps directly on the phone...
 
ah yeah.
 
2:29 PM
(she never runs updates on her computers either)
so that when she DOES have to run updates, far more is broken than it should be.
so she tried an iPhone update today... directly on the phone
and it bricked...
"Plug in to Computer... to restore to factory settings"
since she never was in the habit of syncing it, the backups on the computer are nearly useless.
 
You should still be able to sync apps from the app store.
contacts and stuff are probably gone for good
 
Could be a SuperUser question... "How do you promote good update and backup practices"
In her case, a shitload of photos
I run her company's Exchange server, so that's fine with contacts.
 
Hmm. there's always the iCloud option..
If you don't want her to be responsible for it. heh.
 
@mossy has a cap
 
Ah
 
2:34 PM
5GB, I believe
honestly, there's no excuse for not just plugging the phone in.
hell, once a week
 
Yeah..
Does Google Drive or Dropbox have a auto sync option?
At least they'll let you expand your storage. And their iPhone apps are pretty good.
 
If I lost my iPhone today... broken/stolen, whatever...
I'd get a new one and my shit would all restore easily.
 
2:49 PM
 
this fucking NetApp FAS2040 sucks
10 years to fucking reboot
 
Dan
3:31 PM
Afternoon - I'm knackered. 3 hours of motorbike training
@Jacob Not bad at all, though I've got 120 down here, I rarely see over 80 as I use Wi-Fi
Upload is awesome, though I'm not really sure what I'd do with it. Sell some hosting, probably!
Afternoon, @Chopper3
 
@Dan I guestimate we have 3 gigs of BW here @ technology.virginia.gov/CyberChallenge/index.cfm
 
Dan
@Jacob Wow, that's cool. Security isn't' really my thing, but I wish I knew more about it
 
Looks like our NetApp died
great
 
@Dan Same here TBH
 
Dan
@Cole :( Not good for a Saturday
 
3:35 PM
What does "Singularity is coming" refer to? - Creepiest comment EVER.
-4 already muhahaha, so many self proclaimed professionals. Let's see how many minuses I can get.... :D Whoever is reading this, don't be fooled by so called IT professionals. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to get your hand dirty, and webmin works fine for me and my sysadmin friends...And by the way, Singularity is coming :D — giorgio79 6 hours ago
 
@Dan nope, only one head on this filer too
 
@TomO'Connor Run
 
Awesome video I recently rediscovered

@mossy Art.
 
3:40 PM
I don't understand
is it because im from the americas?
 
@mossy Possibly.
 
Hm
 
I like the idea that the male welsh voice choir is so hypnotic that it makes another guy join. Did it start off as just one guy, 9 blocks ago?
 
I kinda feel like walking down the street with my jimmy out now

@mossy And there we go.
Wow. I have music in OGG format.

@Dan I like the metre.
 
Dan
3:45 PM
@TomO'Connor Sounds sore
 
@Dan the rhythmic metre.
nts nts nts nts cock, dick, knob, prick, nts nts nts.
it's the genitalia dubstep!
 
Dan
@TomO'Connor That leaves just as much euphemism, by the way
 
@TomO'Connor Clapstep!
 
@DennisKaarsemaker cringe
I went on a date with a 28 year old guy who insisted on calling it his "willy"
which was about the time i realised I couldn't take him seriously.
 
@TomO'Connor you didn't want to free willy?
 
Dan
3:49 PM
@TomO'Connor Yeah, thats kind of on par with "private parts" and "no no square"
 
@Dan No no square?!
 
Dan
@TomO'Connor Hang on, you're in for a treat
 
@Dan I forgot to ask. What kind of bike do you plan on getting? or Have..
 
Dan
@TomO'Connor Damn, can't find the video I wanted, but it's a US teach kids not to let people molest them song. Something like "Hey, stop, don't touch me there. That's my no no square" or some such shit
 
@Dan LOL.
 
Dan
3:52 PM
That, for all intents and purposes. Bandit 650
 
@Dan Oh nice.
 
Dan
@mossy Can't wait! It's my brothers and he's bringing it up (He lives a few hundred miles away) next month, so, as soon as I pass..
*was my brothers, natch!
 
I want a GSXr 600 :|

Q: Redundant Power System integration

user162617We currently have a stack of catalyst 3750's at the core of our network. We just purchased two new 3750's to split off our VMs and SAN onto their own switches and away from the stack. These two new switches will not be stacked. All switches are also plugged into the same redundant power system....

 
Dan
@mossy Bizaarely, my dads bike which....was also my brothers old bike :D
That's my dads

Q: Hacked - Got Questions :-)

Mark ManningI have worked with computers since 1972. Started with teletypes, went to demand terminals, mainframes, minis, micros, supercomputers - been there done that. Have a wife who likes to play online games, limewire, etc.... - yes, she does get us viruses, malware, and everything else. Talked to her...

tl;dr
sheesh
 
Dan
I am loath to just reinstall the OS because I want to find out who has done this and the best way to do that is to figure out what they have done and to undo it.
fAIL
okay, it's good to find out how a breach happened , but his whole post and infrastructure sounds like a mess
 
"I have worked with computers since 1972" == "I'm an old git with only obsolete knowledge of computers and don't actually know what I'm doing"
 
Dan
@tombull89 @pauska So, we need to talk about my addiction to OpenTTD you horrible, horrible people
