Saying "I did this and got this result" should never produce a downvote. That insinuates that you are downvoting because you think the person is stupid. That was just an example of one way in which I was trying to make use of the supposed "answer." The comments with that variable gave some data but no useful way to use it. I did not know that it is a variable in PowerShell, and nobody said that it was - the closest thing was that a couple people mentioned checking PowerShell version too, which is something I was not looking for. — Loduwijk6 hours ago
^ I get what he's saying, but really? You're a c/c++ lover and didn't understand why PowerShell was throwing your "variable" back at your face?
Maybe I'm just surlier than normal.
I need some tea.
There has to be a time where "FOAD" is an acceptable response to people.
@MarkHenderson I'm getting hammered with edge cases that require me to learn things I don't know, in minutes, while angry people fill up the support inbox.
@MarkHenderson I dunno, I'm getting more worried about public perception of locker room humor. It's one thing on a private IRC channel, but sometimes I worry about ten years in the future when I'm running for public office or something. :D
I want to poop in a paper cup and throw it at someone.
You would not believe the amount of times that seemingly intelligent adults suggest that if their odd, unreasonable, and late-night demands are not addresses that they'll negatively blog about it.
I imagine what they must have been like as kids: "Give me what I want!!" Mom: "What do you say?" "Give me what I want... bitchass whore or I'll tell dad that you kissed his best friend at the last Christmas party!"
His server got attacked by malware. Not linodes problem. Their server went over their allocation because of this. Not linodes problem. He's a startup? Again not Linodes problem.
@Wesley that guy that you posted the comment from earlier? He's a CS Student at one of the NY state party schools. you can take his opinion with a grain of salt and a case of cheap beer.
@Magellan Something like that. Thursdays are the worst kind of Mondays
at the risk of TMI, I had so bad cramping that I woke up during the night and had to take a double dose of painkillers to get back to sleep. I am wrecked.
@faker guess i am glad my nagios does use another system than the one we use for communcation :) no notification on other users but for important stuff ^^
The DC refused delivery yesterday, so the idea was that they'd be delivered today at around 10:00am (And the network guy wasn't available, so I got roped to come down)
@MichaelHampton Well, I guess this is London, so maybe!
I know it is possible to set the numa mode to "interleave" (see NB below) for a specific process using numactrl --interleave, but I'd like to know if it is possible to make this the system wide default (aka change the "system policy"). For example, if there a kernel boot flag to achieve this?
NB...
@ewwhite nope - not yet. We currently backup to disk in our server room but we'll be backing up to our sister school which as far as I know involves backup proxies. That's gonna be next year tho.
Looks like we're going to be unblocking Pinterest here...is this going to be a bad idea? I, personally, don't use Pinterest, so have no idea what's likely to be on it or not.
