@MattBear IMHO servers shouldn't even be able to talk to the external update servers (you should mirror the updates, test them, then install from the tested mirror set)
I'm developing a Powershell script that's going to present the user with a GUI. When the user presses a button in the GUI, I want it to call, (execute), a 2nd powershell script, the 2nd script will do some things, and then modify form elements in the GUI, (Like a CheckedListBox), that the first ...
boss is freaking out cause an old hosted joomla site suffered a javascript injection attack... so now he wants documentation on his desk of what I'm doing to prevent it
This sounds like a Really Bad Idea. And I'm having a lot of difficulty coming up with a scenario where we might do this in a professional environment. — Michael Hampton7 secs ago
@KevinSoviero Yes. I suppose it is for those who are slaves to the corporate-enforced pseudo-lifestyle that is slavery to such mundane concerns as time and departure and arrival.
@KevinSoviero This is true. And I'm far too German to do this for more than a month or two at a time. I start to get twitchy after awhile. I even went across the street yesterday to help the neighbors build a retaining wall around their garden beds.
I'm assuming <app> will be unavailable during this time period, so I'll need to know that. Is there any risk of losing data during the reboot/backup process? Thanks.
@Travis I honestly have no idea why. I've just worked on enough old disks to know that once a system's been powered on for a good long time there's a relatively high chance of spectacular failure on reboot.
@ScottPack long-term disk failure? Usually it's because the motor lube gets cooked (or shifted) to the point where the drive can't spin the platters from a dead stop anymore
So. Fun fact. Our AC went out last week and our office has been 80-82 since Wednesday night. Our work order to the HVAC shop was closed on Friday morning with the comment, "Unit working as expected." Our thermostat and room temperature condensor lines say otherwise.
Apparently the free trial "ran out" with 74 days left ...they don't say there's limits anywhere except the A0-A1 instances that it'll run out of credit early...
@NathanC you look at the Active Cloud Monitoring add-on?
Active Cloud Monitoring by MetricsHub monitors your cloud applications and automatically scales your service up or down based on rules you set. Within minutes, you'll improve up-time and decrease cost.
@MattBear I recommend waiting until the wizard is asleep. Otherwise you've got a, potentially, fully prepared (and pissed) magic user staring you straight in the face.
@MattBear So far the most combat effective characters I've had, in Pathfinder at least, have been a Two-Handed Weapon style Infiltrator Ranger and an Arcane Duelist Bard.
There are a few things that you might think suck when you do them...but when you don't have them you realize it sucks worse. 1) A "no terminate" policy. 2) Planning or management meetings
