NC/OT has an overlap I think when it comes to "Clear lack of research effort" closures.
 
@FalconMomot OP hasn't tried hard enough.
 
True.
Also, what is the big draw of nginx? I don't get it.
 
@FalconMomot lightweight, extremely modular config, speedy as hell..
 
A minimalist apache configuration with the event MPM is now slow and heavy?
shrug
 
yes, even a minimalist apache configuration is slower than ngix when serving static data
apache can't MPM PHP, so the popular choice is to use FastCGI+PHP-FPM.. it works quite nice with nginx, but sure - it could be done with any kind of webserver
same deal with rails
 
9:12 AM
Hmm, I also hate PHP.
 
9:31 AM
@TomO'Connor dude, could you delete the entire comment trail for this (serverfault.com/a/514101/1435) and maybe lock it, the guy's annoying being...well, have a read
 
@Chopper3 Done
OP (of the question..) is a dick.
 
@TomO'Connor thanks, glad you saw what I meant - just didn't want to get drawn in any more - of course he'll take it to meta now, you bet :( - cheers though. Oh and I got my new BF3 rig working on Friday - fricking awesome - we'll have to play together again?
 
@Chopper3 If he takes it to meta, i'll treat it with a sense of general displeasure ;)
 
@Chopper3 Whew, took long enough, right?
I still get overwhelmed with the different weapons avalible for each kit
 
@tombull89 I'm the other way, constantly toying with my loadout and appearance - still get killed by faster kiddies but I use my brain more so find it balances out ok
@tombull89 I think we can look at each other's stats - I got a ~440 metre headshot the other week
 
9:40 AM
I've started playing medic a lot more so use the F2000 a lot - brilliant gun but it empties the clip in no time at all.
I managed a headshot with a tank yesterday.
 
9:53 AM
@tombull89 just spotted battlelog's still a bit fucked up, not showing results from some games yesterday - I've hit a bit of a wall with the assignments, really only got the very tough ones left {the rambo one needs multikills, any idea how fucking hard ONE is??) - so I'm trying to max out all the guns
@tombull89 which is a pain as there's a reason I don't play with some of them, some are shit, but my sense of OCD completeness means I have to run around on Ziba with a frickin' shit sniper rifle just to get a set number of kills so I get the silencer or whatever - sometimes being a massive geek isn't it's own reward
 
@Chopper3 Oh I can't snipe to save my life, so I know I won't be getting any of the bits for those guns.
 
@tombull89 I like sniping, it comes naturally, I always was a sneaky little shit
@tombull89 when I blow someone's head off from >100m as they're moving in a vehicle you should see me, I'm clapping like a retard on ice-cream day
 
@tombull89: sniping isn't that hard, just have a button to reduce your DPI set up
 
@JourneymanGeek I've got one of those light-up, programable corsair (k95) keyboards coming later today, not sure what I'm going to program it to do but there we go
 
10:08 AM
@Chopper3: I mostly use the ones on my keyboard for triggering stuff like search. I find it a PITA to switch contexts on a keyboard
mouse has sniper mode, and I game on a lower DPI
ooh
@Chopper3: I've heard the switches in your keyboard described as "typing on a cloud of boobs"
and crikey thats a LOT of macro keys
 
10:20 AM
@Chopper3 Same with me when I take out a vehicle with mine, I'm clapping like a seal
That's a lot of macro keys as well, I have 5 on my keyboard and I struggle to use them with BF3.
 
mine has 5, I don't ever use em for gaming ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek sorry, phone rang, boob keyboard, is that a good thing?
 
@Chopper3: allegedly so
its supposed to be super smooth
I prefer the blues, but I like mine loud and proud ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek oh, nice
@JourneymanGeek part of the attraction is the red/black bit

While I was off sick it turns out my Splunk salesman has gone over to Puppet - which is nice as I'd like to spend a lot of money with them this year

Anyone heard from RobM lately? He doing ok?
 
Heh, I just got the "Tenacious" badge
 
@TomO'Connor he had a family issue that needed sorting out, I'm pretty sure he's still occupied with that
fucked up situation :(
 
12:04 PM
What do you guys do when you have nothing to do (is that possible?)....server wise
 
@NathanC well done, not got that one
@Travis come on here and talk shit
 
@Chopper3 Meh.... Thinking of building a syslog server. Not sure if that's what I need though...for Windows boxes. I need something that can pull all the logs together from all of my systems and report in one interface
 
@pauska This much, i know.
@Travis Logstash + Kibana.
 
@Travis Try Splunk, we use that for syslog stuff
 
Free?

Q: Taking an image of a failing boot drive

analbeardOk, so my Ubuntu 12.10 install seems to have gone slightly sideways. It currently boots from a Compactflash card that I was planning on replacing soon, but as luck would have it it's gone down now. The boot process gets to a certain point and then just sits there, and if I boot up a distro off a ...

This guy's name...
 
Needs to shave it
 
@Travis Or bleach it.
#thingsicoulddo(butwont)asamoderator
 
@TomO'Connor Still be bearded
 
@NathanC Wouldn't he better off asking that on AskUbuntu?
 
Well that was an interesting glitch

posted on June 17, 2013 by Matt Simmons

Good morning everyone! At least it's morning here in Charleston, SC when I write this. I'm on a vacation with my family, but I had to take a break to share the good news. Election results were posted to the LOPSA-Discuss mailing list last night, and I was elected to the Board of Directors in [...]

 
@NathanC I've mentioned it. o.O
 
sup freaks
 
I've learned that designjet printers are annoying
Have one user who's trying to print arch drawings (PDF files) on it. If I choose the right size roll (36 inch), Adobe refuses to print it. Larger roll crashes Adobe, and the smaller roll works (but leaves a lot of wasted whitespace).
 
@NathanC s/designjet//
 
I'm scratching my head because it's the only machine with the issue (it's a shared printer)
@TomO'Connor Yeah, basically.
 
1:05 PM
Analbeard is quite cute. simonweald.com/images/about.jpg
 
Did Evan come back after the election?
 
@NathanC We have an $18k label printer...that had to be replaced with a the repair man's demo model because we couldn't get it to work... The demo model was already 2 years old
@TomO'Connor Not my type
 
@Travis Wrong Tom, try again.
 
@tombull89 You're not my type either
 
:(
 
1:09 PM
Oh wait! You're a girl. Nevermind, you are my type

So uhh...hey baby....uhh...how's it going
I should have made our subnet 192.168.0.x... That way I can be lazy and just type 192.168.134 instead of 192.168.4.0.134
 
@Travis TomBull's a girl?!
 
@TomO'Connor News to me as well.
 
@tombull89 Think of all the things you can do now!
 
I could have swore I saw in an SF conversation it came out that @tombull89 was a girl?! I was like..."oh, that would explain the pink rabbit"....oh what the hell...guess I'll just start swinging both ways
 
For you, honey, I'll be anything.

@Chopper3 Do you have the splunk app or just use WMI?
 
@Travis we write out own
 
@Chopper3 Write your own....?
 
@Travis yeah, we have full-time splunk developers
 
1:24 PM
oh..well then
Guess I'll just download the app for our windows servers and call it a day
easier than WMI
 
@Travis You know what else is easier than WMI? @MDMarra's mom.

MSO mod with 1 rep but not suspended? WTF?
 
Apparently he's a bit unpopular in some areas: meta.stackoverflow.com/users/160410/minitech?tab=reputation
Actually no, it's bounties.
 
He has 62k rep on SO
 
Yeah, on MSO he bounties all the gained rep apparently
 
@Travis mSO is it's own site with it's own rep structure independent of SO
 
@ScottPack Yep. I don't follow the metas
 
1:44 PM
I follow the metas of the sites I'm active on, and if we had a mSE I would follow it too.

Q: Limit IP range for Squid Proxy Users

NiroshI'm trying to limit each Squid proxy user to certain IP range, for an example I have 2 users and they are user1 and user2 and full IP address range is 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.10 now I want to grant permission to user1 to access IP range only from 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.3 and for user2 it'll be only ...

Q: Is there any tunneling protocol that can aggregate multiple packets within a packet?

user239558I think the title says it all. I wonder if this exists. Reasons for wanting this could be to reduce overhead.

 
Took me a bit to figure out the easy way...but it's a matter of highlight then press a button
 
Yo Dawg...I heard you like packets...so we put a bunch of packets in your packet!
 
I need some bash help again... what I'm trying to do is take the output of two greps, merge them, and sort by unique. This is what it looks like now, and it's not working:
grep ^$serial /HORCM/VSP/data/VSPLDevReport.out.${serial}| awk '{print $3}'| egrep $greptext; if [[ $secondserial -eq xyz]]; then grep ^$secondserial /HORCM/VSP/data/VSPLDevReport.out.${secondserial}| awk '{print $3}'| egrep $greptext; fi| sort -u
(fucking markdown)
 
@NathanC Better?
 
Ah, yes.
My edits don't show until they get approved...:p
 
1:50 PM
@TheCleaner Isn't that what WAN optimizers do?
 
the context is that I'm actually running that command in a subshell and looping over each value
 
@NathanC Heh, I didn't notice that. The edit locking could use...some edit locking.
 
helps tremendously on slow links (satellite etc)
 
@NathanC I immediately edited and didn't come back over here until after I saved
 
@pauska they don't actually agg packets inside other packets. That seems pretty impossible.
 
1:52 PM
@ScottPack I don't have enough rep to do "reviewless" edits
 
Get busy.
 
Heh. I've gotten 30 rep today! :o
 
The air feels so "wet" in the the server room (aka...my office)
 
Is your air conditioner running? :p
 
Yep. It's 73* and 62% (now 56% humidity)
 
2:07 PM
hm, not that bad at least.
At >90% it feels like I'm swimming in air
 
I get nervous when I get anything above 70. Thinking of getting a dehumidifyer
 
boss just sent me this IM. I love my job.
how annoying is it when every single customer doesn't understand site and services and how to setup site links so the kcc can do what it's supposed to do
 
Yeah...humidity and electronics don't tend to mix
@MDMarra Aha!

Q: Website is not updatable and if the website is stopped in IIS, it still works

Pierre-Alain VigeantI'm thinking voodoo right now. I've been messing with IIS for the past 3 hours to understand why a website can't be updated. Not only I can't update the website, but if I stop the application in IIS altogether, the website is still accessible from the server itself and from any other PC. The we...

Ghosts!
 
@MDMarra - my old boss would say something like that...AFTER he heard it from another tech...he'd try to sound like he knew what we did. If I made a comment in retort he'd always stumble at that point.
@Travis - 56% humidity is pretty high for that temp...35-45 is about right. But if you got the temp down to 68 then 45RH wouldn't feel so "humid". But you definitely don't want it dry...
 
@TheCleaner haha. My boss said it after reviewing a bunch of health check documents I've written in the last week. I was hired to replace him in a technical role when he went to management three months ago, so he actually knows what he's talking about
 
2:18 PM
:) good and bad...
 
I think I probably know more AD than him, but he can school me in system center
@TheCleaner all good so far. He basically writes statements of work, send them to me for review, I suggest changes, he asks how many weeks, then he sends it to the customers. He's been pretty hands off
He's getting me a junior engineer soon, so that's awesome
 
@NathanC thats my normal humidity
probably a little dryer now, cause of all the particulates
 
@MDMarra very nice! I wish I had a jr. admin here. Not needed, but I like working on a team...especially when I'm the sr. guy... :)
 
I think i'm considered the jr. admin here since I was hired to help the only other IT person here
Of course, that person is on vacation all week :p
 
@TheCleaner Well my side of the room is 73. The other side of the room (8' away) is set to 68* and shows 68*
 
2:27 PM
Your desk is in the server room?
 
@TheCleaner and i share it with another person...the freight claims analyst
 
Maybe it's just setup wrong. Are the servers in a rack discharging warm air towards the returns with the cool vents place in front of the racks? And is the thermostat/reading taking place near the returns or near the vents?
 
aw, vine doesn't onebox in chat
@Travis that may be against OSHA regulations, depending on the noise level
They may be legally obligated to give you special high-noise environment training, special ear protection, and hazard pay
(or just move your desk)
 
tada
@TheCleaner Nope.
 
2:32 PM
So i'm trying to explain to a friend (who lives in the middle of nowhere practically) that cable/dsl is probably not possible ...explaining why is the fun part.
 
@MDMarra - always work from home or just showing a pic?
@Travis - shame...drinks in the server room! ;)
 
@MDMarra You should request that.
 
@TheCleaner Gotta survive
 
Hmm. I wonder if the school should block Vine.
 
@MDMarra Nice pussy.

2:37 PM
@Travis Survive off Mountain Dew and diet Coke? I think I'd rather die.
 
@Travis I think there's a voicemail on that phone over there.
 
@MDMarra: that looks like a neater version of my desk ;p
 
@MDMarra @TheCleaner There ya go..MS paint diagram :)
 
@Travis Looks like fun. What kind of access control mechanisms do you have?

Q: Permanent site-to-datacentre VPN for a hosted Windows Server

I’m familiar with setting up a VPN point on our office router (Draytek 2820) so that users can VPN i...

Too localized or shopping?
 
@NathanC There is. That is the phone that we are required to have for one of the sales reps in Florida. To "forward" to his cell phone we had put a physical phone in that forwards to his cell....
@ScottPack A door knob
 
@Travis: I hope you got hearing protection
@Travis: !!!!
 
@Travis Interesting...interesting. How close are you to the freight elevator?
 
@JourneymanGeek It's not that loud
 
@Travis: your workplace looks like a case study for computer security ;p
 
2:39 PM
@ScottPack lol. Actually we lock the door up at night BUT I'm the first one in the office to leave. That leaves the freight analyist here by themself with the equipment
 
When I'm not assigned to a client, I go into the office
@TheCleaner When I'm not at a client but I still have work for them to do (like putting docs or designs together) I work from home
It's not an official policy, the official policy is do whatever the fuck you want
 
@JourneymanGeek Did I mention they had a WEP key of 0123456789 on the wireless access point that was actually 2 feet away from an exterior wall that bordered the parking lot? I hacked it from outside with my iPad just to show them I could (they didn't believe me).

That's how I like to break it down, though. I'm way more productive at home
 
@travis
 
@Travis: I'd ask you more stuff, but I don't want to accidentally socially engineer you ;p
 
2:40 PM
Fixed for you
 
@Travis I see I see. What types of nearby food trucks and/or eateries do you have?
 
@JourneymanGeek I worked for a .gov. Before I got "issued" a computer to use I had to use the server room's computer. Now THAT was loud....
@ScottPack lol
@JourneymanGeek I changed it...our domain admin password was 4321....
 
@Travis: oh god
 
I work directly under an A/C duct so I'm always freezing x_X
 
@JourneymanGeek Can't change the duct work. I already tried to get them to do it and the A/C company says they cant. I tried to get them to put the intake vent at the back of the servers and cold air in front of the racks and they couldn't do it
 
2:43 PM
@Travis: XD
NOT what I'm thinking of actually
 
@JourneymanGeek This is just an office converted to be a "server" room. My boss, the CFO has the other rack in his office. He has an old Power Edge server that is just piercingly loud in there. I haven't moved it yet into my office.
Did I mention he had them put a 2.5 ton A/C unit into his office? It is 8x8
 
@Travis Seriously, bring up the OSHA requirements for noise in the workplace
 
@MDMarra WHAT?
 
You'll either get hazard pay or you won't have servers in your office
 
@MDMarra Or you'll get an acoustically damped rack.
 
2:44 PM
@ScottPack They can't make you work somewhere if the noise is over a certain decibel level unless you get special training and hazard pay
 
@MDMarra scratches head what's OSHA :)
 
@TomO'Connor Either way, win win win
 
@MDMarra Did I mention that we just got ear plugs for the machine press operators? You can't talk anywhere near them...but they just got ear plugs for them
@ScottPack I got it AFTER that :0
 
I have to admit, it took a lot of willpower to not laugh out loud
 
2:46 PM
@Travis gotta stand up for yourself at some point, might as well do it when you've got a major federal regulation on your side!
@ScottPack Soon, no one will get that joke
You, sir, are an artifact from an earlier time.
 
@MDMarra They don't care until there is a lawsuit
 
@MDMarra Tell me about it. I'll officially be mid-30s next week.
 
@Travis Easily remedied.
 
@ScottPack Oh, I do have a magnetic lock with keypad access device to install on the door. The main reason I haven't is because I have to give the key code out to my office mates and janitorial staff and once they have it, everyone will have it regardless
@Tanner New job?
 
@Travis No, lawsuit :P
 
2:48 PM
Won't get anything out of it
Except unemployment
 
My phone tried to autocorrect "something" to "someone" when i was typing "you should eat something". I think I just saved a life.
XD
 
@NathanC That's ok. Mine corrected "I'm going to f-in' kill you when I get home" to "I love you"
 
@ScottPack 38 in 2 weeks myself.
 
@TheCleaner So you know how I feel.
 
@Travis lack of physical security, lack of compartmentalisation, no proper acess controls ;p
 
2:51 PM
@MDMarra Dell shows a decibel rating of 39 dBA for my servers. Combined would be about 41
 
probably. I still feel 20 something. Still play Black Ops on the weekends with buddies at times. Can't wait for my kids to get old enough to play video games so I won't feel bad about buying them. :)
@JourneymanGeek welcome to probably 80% of server rooms...(number is probably higher)
 
@JourneymanGeek Yep... They hired a contractor to put the phone system in. They bought a non-standard rack and the only thing that would fit is the phone system. I had to buy another rack for new servers and it's a good 12" longer than the phone system rakc
 
@TheCleaner: XD. comes with my major.

Fallout.
what a weekend
 
HP! HP EVERYWHERE!
 
Tell them that's dumb
 
@RyanRies We're just being contracted for the migration, not the domain planning
 
3:07 PM
@MDMarra kinda
my coworker is still hatin' on HP.
 
Already signed off and set in stone by their internal IT\
@ewwhite sure he is
 
Well do it, then tell them they're dumb after they've paid you
 
we didn't give Supermicro a chance!!
 
@JoelESalas hotlink protected
 
@RyanRies haha yeah
 
3:08 PM
@RyanRies haven't ran WINS in about 10 years...what do people still use it for?
 
@TheCleaner Shit that's over 10 years old
 
@ChrisS wat? ok
 
I hear VMware's new cloud platform is going to run on Supermicro (minus the storage.) I hope they have some sort of giant jukebox that replaces failed blade servers

@TheCleaner Old versions of Ghost server
 
3:10 PM
 
@ChrisS UN-AU-THO-RIZED RE-FER-RER
 
@RyanRies Supermicro alone isn't bad... it just requires due-diligence to find stable combinations. I'm sure VMware tweaked the shit out of their config and developed a good reference platform.
 
@ewwhite Yeah I shouldn't totally hate on Supermicro, I've personally owned some and they never let me down.
 
@ewwhite Blades are the one time I would say SuperMicro is bad. (I would also say anyone except IBM (and maybe HP) is bad for blades though)
 
I mean, I've bought a few Supermicro servers where necessary.
At work, we did have a Supermicro blade chassis. That died a fiery death.
 
3:14 PM
@voretaq7 I have shiiiitloads of HP blades. The only thing about them I don't like is AMD
 
But we get them for like a $1k a pop so they're too cheap to resist
 
@RyanRies I always wondered who bought AMD servers
 
@MDMarra Had a tech back in the late 90s that used our Ghost base image like it was Robitussin. "App is locking up? Ghost it!" "Email isn't working? Ghost it!" "Embezzled money? Ghost it!" I swear the guy would set someone back to baseline almost daily.
 
@ewwhite People who don't mind running space heaters in their datacenters.
 
3:15 PM
I also have lots of UCS which I personally love but I know many don't
 
@ChrisS ...and that's when the sad-face want ape-shiznatty batshit-brand cray-cray and shot up the place.
 
@ewwhite They work good for certain database and compute situations.
 
Just remember that AMD and MS SQL Server do not mix
 
@ChrisS I stopped buying AMD when Nehalem came out.

Was certainly stable.
 
@RyanRies Why not?
@ewwhite You say stable, I say unpatched

@JoelESalas There are no more patches!!
[root@Coast_Produce_Old ~]# cat /etc/issue

OH SNAP
 
We need an "Oh Snap" bear...
 
@JoelESalas Because MSSQL2012 is licensed per core. AMD procs generally have more cores, which means much higher licensing cost. In addition, each of those cores performs significantly worse than Intel cores, especially in OLTP workloads
 
@RyanRies Damned 12-core CPUs.
 
@JoelESalas So you end up with a much more expensive server, that performs worse
 
3:24 PM
@ewwhite ...why is it an Australian Drop Bear?
 
@RyanRies Makes sense. What doesn't make sense is using PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE
 
@ewwhite !
@ewwhite How DARE you post that filth in here! This is a family chatroom.
 
Did someone say...drop?
 
Except MS SQL Server rocks
 
3:25 PM
(the Addams family, yes, but still)
 
@voretaq7 it was decommissioned and replaced with a new shiny RHEL 6.0 box ;)
kidding, 6.4...

@voretaq7 Moar-better... It is even more underutilized!!

Also linux desktop + macbook + X11 is really nice
I don't have to use any of the peasant tools on OSX

(Every time you install Windows on a Mac you make BOTH Steves cry)

Our remote site went down and relies completely on network access to us ...and they say "1-3 hours".
