@ewwhite I should point out that ext4 is not that much better, about 50% better.
If the files simply disappear / get discard (which appears to be the case) it might be worth sticking that wrk directory on tmpfs (providing whole dir is empty now) seeing as the files are not persistent anyway.
Can you tell me what are the important features of Puppet introduced after 2.7?
I'm learning Puppet using the tutorial and the VM they supply. Good stuff! However, I'm wondering what important stuff I might be missing, since the tutorial seems to be written for version 2.7, while the version ins...
I'm looking forward to build my own Windows Server 2008 R2 machine for a company that is in the process of establishment.
I have some questions regarding the Windows Server. I'm pretty new to it .. I need to be able to achieve the following ..
First, regarding the DHCP, I was able to build a si...
I can't find confirmation on this anywhere, and thought it was a known fact: 'When using lease reservations on a dhcp server, and there are no more IPs left to hand out, if a machine that has a reservation isn't connected, the dhcp server will give away that reserved address.' How is this not documented?
When setting up a network in need of static IP addresses I've come across at least two ways of doing so.
A: Router/Gateway
In particular, on my Buffalo router, under DHCP Server, there is the option to add multiple MAC addresses and the ability to assign them an IP address.
B: On the Device its...
I have 250PB (Petabyte) of hard disk space. I have thought to use it as a boost to the processor calculation, ram and so on. But let's come to the very real culprit here.
I'm not able to make Ubuntu recognize (or recognize for the fact) them in any way which sucks knowing how much they cost. The...
I've noticed a disturbing trend on Server Fault lately. People are asking for help with things that they have not tried to find the answer to themselves. Some of the regulars on the site have speculated that it's concentrated within certain cultures. Others have said that it's from a younger inexperienced generation that want quick answers. I'm not sure if either of those are accurate, but it's…
I had a /21 for wireless that regularly filled up with leases and most of the APs had reservations. At least a few were out for servicing at any time and no one ever got a reserved IP
It's too bad that there are such a large group of children that are homeschooled by parents that teach their kids science from a book that was written third hand by authors that weren't at the events they were describing.
(and that was never meant to be a literal text in the first place)
I mean, in the first book there are two different creation stories that say different things
They both make the same high-level point, but for people that believe it is the literal word of god as written - how can they reconcile that?
Either it's allegory meant to show that god created everything and we're in his kingdom or it's literal and the bible stops making sense in chapter 2 of the first book
I don't have a problem with religious folks. Some of the best people I know are in the Christian Brothers order from when I worked at a catholic university. But when it is used to enable parents to poison their children's futures, it's bad bad news.
@MichaelHampton Well, there's a creationist museum that sells enough tickets to remain open and it has an exhibit where a cave man is hanging out with a dinosaur
@Iain I'd point out its demonstrably unhealthy for society to tolerate a sizeable minority of people to hold extreme religious views. Not due to "terrorism" but because the majority of the worlds society dont think that way, those cultures become irrelevent or uncompetitive.
@MDMarra pfft, I just installed Kernel 5.2 on my 250PB DDR3 persistent storage drive. My brother got it for me, he earns a 4 figure salary and can afford it you see..
@MDMarra Genesis 1 is about creation, Genesis 2 is also about creation but focuses primarily on Adam. The order of creation didn't change, it merely switches focus. biblehub.com/niv/genesis/2.htm
@MDMarra I don't see it, b/c in Gen 2 no more creation took place. Yes gardens were planted, but every kind of thing had already been created, if that makes sense
@ewwhite there's a box for "Always categorize $whatever as $newCategory" might be useful - it'll recategorize old transactions with the same name automatically. Good for recurring bills/payments
@ewwhite Yeah, that HP stuff you got me last time...it was a great trip right up until the end, then it turned really bad. I don't want any more of that...
@MDMoore313 This is a high level of the differences. But there's plenty of other stuff in the bible that is concerning if you take it literally - like the fact that you should stone people to death that wear cloths of mixed fabrics (my wrinkle-resistant shirts should have me marked for death) or that you can sell your daughter into slavery. etc etc etc
@MDMarra lol where does it say you should be stoned for wearing mixed fabric? Also, I think servitude/slavery back then carried an entirely different weight than it does now. Also, God never told them to sell their children into slavery, or even said it was okay, but made civil laws protecting them (first case of civil rights?)
“‘Do not mate different kinds of animals.
“‘Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
“‘Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.
Leviticus 19
Lots of terrible shit in Leviticus, but it gets glazed over by people that interpret literally because they dont want to admit that it made sense in the context of 3000 years ago but not today. Admitting that would admit that the bible isn't a literal document
If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment.[a] Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed. 21 The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the tent of meeting for a guilt offering to the Lord. 22 With the ram of the guilt offering the priest is to make atonement for him before the Lord for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.
Yes, they [God's chosen people] were under the levitical law, there is no doubt about that. The Bible makes that plain and no one (esp. a Christian) should deny that. However, Christians are not under the law, but are under Grace, there is a difference
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you;…
Deuteronomy 21
Look, I don't have a problem with people that choose to be religious. I have a problem with people that believe the literal word of it is law that they must follow and then don't kill their children. You can't pick and choose for something like that
@MDMarra I suspect most fundamentalists claim to think the bible is literally perfect, but as a matter of fact people cherry pick what they like and ignore what they do not like.
If you use the bible as ammunition to discriminate against gays and call it an abomination, but you don't kill your kid for being a typical angsty teenager, then you have no credibility
Shit.. a job opened up nearby which is nearly the exact job I always wanted.. storage/virtualization leader at a pretty large clo... ASP/hosting provider
@MDMoore313 the point I was making is that most of the people that take a literal interpretation of the bible use the passages about Soddom and Gommorah as justification to discriminate against gay people, but then they selectively ignore directives like the passage from deuteronomy that tell you to kill your disobedient children in front of the whole town. Or to not wear clothes of moxed fabrics. Or to not plant two different kinds of seeds in the same field.
Theres clearly contradictions in the bible (multiple interpretations of the resurrection event, multiple intepretations of what happens to judas). I find these bigger problems to the "literary perfection" of the bible. STILL, it doesn't immediately make someone review their religious beliefs. It weakens a section of their belief but its probably going to get reinforced by other stuff (prayer, testimony) etc.
@MDMarra okay, just making sure. I know I'm in the minority but there have been plenty of homosexuals that have given their life to Christ. It's important to remember that Christians are not under the O.T. law, but under Grace. The N.T. makes that clear. Re: S&G, I use that and other text as a basis that God does not approve of homosexuality, but it's definitely not just there
@MichaelHampton I flagged that thing an hour ago, mods must have some fascination with a ficticious 250PB array
@MatthewIfe I have to say I have yet to find any contradictions in the Word. I do assert that historical accounts in the Bible (creation, resurrection) should be taken literally.
@MDMoore313 I know all of that. I went to Catholic school my whole life, though I don't practice any religion now. I understand that the NT superseded the OT and that many sects recognize things like evolution and are accepting of gays. My problem is with the people that choose to use a literal interpretation of the bible to justify things like teaching their children that evolution isn't real and that the earth is 6000 years old
@MDMoore313 I dont think this chat room is a suitable place for me to question your religious beliefs :). Needless to say I consider myself an Atheist.
It's just those arguments.. discarding scientific facts.. being generally mean to whoever they seem fit, according to a 2000 year old book that nobody knows who wrote
But yes, religion is a bit out of scope here.. let's talk about beautful boobs
I don't have a problem with religion as a whole, and many religious groups are accepting of modern scientific truths. People are free to believe whatever they like, but from the outside looking in - people that disavow evolution and teach their children that ancient man existed with dinosaurs are doing their children no favors
@MDMarra I do agree with you here. We should educate people on the basis of what we know is relevent in the modern world, both what will help them in their own personal well-being (getting work, fitting in with society) and what will help them academically.
Did you guys know that Russia has gone from ~30% registered christians to over 78% in 70 years?
The rest of the world is wondering how the hell Russia could be so cruel against the gay.. well, the population is being indoctrinated that gay lifes are worth nothing
@pauska thats probably a skewed statistic. Russia was the Soviet Union the majority of this, during which it was arguably dangerous to hold any religious views.
My only beef with mainstream science is why they try to stomp on the Word. I can't speak for all Christians, I don't have a problem with 'modern' science except when they try to contradict the Word (apparently vice versa is true for some of them, and that's fine). Some scientists deny that it takes faith to believe in some of their theories, when in fact it does
