@JourneymanGeek Well, I guess personal stuff isn't OT in here. I just don't think in terms of personal PCs anymore. I've bought exactly 2 computers in the last 8 years.
@JourneymanGeek I've seen so many generations of hardware pass by that I simply could not any care less about hardware in and of itself. And in a DevOps world, hardware is meaningless because it's all offering the same identical virtual management layer if it's being done right.
@Magellan: In my case, for a system I work at (as opposed to a system I work on), I find desktops somewhat more maintainable. I do end up using it to game, virtualisation and such.
I guess that there's farm animals, there's pets, and what I really need is a really smart mutt ;p
Check out ScriptRock.com I think the product is called guardrail. It does a full diff of Users, Groups, Services, Ports, Files and more between servers. You can also schedule scans to get reports on what changed day to day or at intervals.
spam - link in user's bio is a blog that says he created the product.
192.168.0.0 can be an address of network and it cannot be assigned to any device in local network. But why? Couldn't router using mask (like 255.255.0.0) figure out what is the network address anyway?
@TomO'Connor I'm just about to embark on some decorating and I'm trying to figure out how I'll have to route cables when I get infinity at the end of March
@VaughanHilts For future reference, though I don't have stats to back it up, I'd expect a 4-month-old switch to be more failure-prone than one that's 4 years old and has never had an issue.
@DennisKaarsemaker This gives me hope for my office renovation which got to the stage where I could work in there, but no further. Still missing cornices, paint on the roof, doors on the cupboard, a whole cupboard in one place, power points in the walls and network wiring
Oh and the desk top is propped up and falls over of you bump it too hard
Anybody played with Azure at all? Almost posted a question on main but I don't think I've got enough details.
I've got a website running in shared mode that goes down for under a minute every day between 4:00 and 5:30, it's starting to piss me off. The site hardly does a thing, and 99% of the traffic to it is from New Relic pinging it.
Wondering if it's expected to have two instances running to get the 99.9% uptime...
There are still people who think that software-based firewalls are bad though
apart from relying solely on VM security for network security (which is technically off topic)... don't tell publically where this contraption works, security by obscurity might actually help you maintaining this illusion of security. — knittiNov 11 '10 at 22:45
Oh my... can you imagine someone releasing an ad like this today?

You just said that it can't do virtualisation (which is correct; well, you can but you can only run 32-bit guest OS's), but then recommend running ESXi on it?! — Mark Henderson6 secs ago
You should just do what it says! It is very easy.
Unfortunately for you, you're using Windows, and GEOS doesn't appear to be incredibly well-supported. However, you should check out their site at http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/.
If you did that, you might notice that OSGeo4W packages GEOS for win...
@PatoSáinz that's @MichaelHampton's secret. I write good canonical questions occasionally to get that effect :P
I don't get a lot of rep for things I put in here... I just put them here because I think people might enjoy looking at them for some reason. Comments too.
and honestly I don't mind when people post their questions and answers, as long as they are interesting.
We've got 20 servers that we need to remove from a datacentre that we haven't physically visited in about 5 years (I've never been there, it was from before my time). We've had to go through complete re-induction, security checks and had to re-apply for all our security passes again because it's ...
@MarkHenderson Unless they could point to something in my copy of the contract authorizing them to do that, if they threatened to call the police on me, I would have called them myself.
Hahaha, that's hilarious. I've dealt with GS too, and was thinking "damn that sounds like something GS would do". I didn't check your profile to see that yes, the chances are you're dealing with GS... They're muppets. Plain and simple. It's easy, though -- just take them all out via the loading dock in one hit. They'll never know the difference. — wombleJul 4 '11 at 23:46

I am considering buying ( $100 approx) one of these older servers solely to run pfSense. is there any reason not to ?
