One of the annoying parts of making sure that you can successfully migrate virtual resources across a vSphere datacenter is ensuring that networks and datastores are not only available everywhere, but also named identically. I inherited a system that was pretty much manually administered, without scripts. I've built a small powershell script to make sure […]
@Bob Depends on how your phone displays it. iPhones (all phones perhaps? Not really sure. My guess is Android does it too) show the signal strength in the bars only, and the SNR is not shown, or hidden
On iPhones there is a code you can punch in that makes the bars also display your SNR when you tap on it
Today feels like the kind of day where I'm going to need a roll of carpet, some quicklime and a shovel to deal with people, but I've hardly spoken to anyone at work yet.
In better news, I found out that the city here gives 5 hours free parking per day for environmentally friendly cars - mine matches that... so I'd only have to pay for at most 3 hours per day. That will be very nice indeed!
also, seems I'll be getting a new gig sometime in October, which I'm very much looking forward to... going from boring "sysadminning linux boxen" to "setting up a CA system for PKI at site with high security requirements".
@MichelZ For reasons known only to themselves the DC refused delivery last week, despite having it scheduled in. Then, they were RTB'd and were headed back to fucking Hungary
The plan was for them to be delivered today, but the PM couldn't get them to sort it
Some PM has just played the "Copy everyone in to the e-mail" game when trying to chase me. Unfortunately for her, it seems she missed my e-mail last week where I did respond - never has Reply All felt so good
@Dan More than once have I been tempted to set up a few accounts like "The Headteachers Dog" and "The School Cat" to copy in if someone is doing an "EMAIL ALL THE PEOPLE" thing.
@Basil we've started doing that chaos monkey stuff where we just switch stuff off all the bloody time, finds some faults to fix certainly but I kind of miss DR switchovers that were planned - that said we're 95% active-active these days so it's all kind of moot
@Basil we don't DR those at all, well not properly as such, we use vmware SRM but it's a 'good enough' DR setup rather than one you'd use for production
@Chopper3 I think that would be one of our issues- if we really want to go active active, we'd need to allow for continued access to dev environments while we're active on the other site.
@pauska well it's great for 95% of people sure, the issue is that in the event of a DR situation all those replicated VMs need to be spun up - that can take minutes - some systems can't afford that outage
@pauska no, it's architecting things to be active-active with enough capacity to handle all traffic with a site down - it's a massive faff but it's do'able
@pauska to be honest I reckon we could easily manage with even an hour's outage in the event of losing a whole DC but it's not what 'the business' believe or are happy to pay for
Im re-doing my toilet.I believe its great and have found this but Im worried it may be unattractive the platinum variety will be used by.I within the relaxation and also the bath tiles that are bright.Do you?
I am making a project in which any one can have video on her pc and access it from anywhere also he can give access to another user so they can watch videos . But the problem is that how to uniquely identify computer on this kind of system .I cant use ip address because it changes after some time...
Nothing is left to chance. Seating charts are meticulously studied, rehearsals are endless and strategic leaks are used to temper expectations. Detailed briefing books are distributed to the public relations team and then sometimes shredded.
“Apple sells miniature jetpacks, little pieces of the future that you can hold in your hand,” Ms. Wortham said. “I was told there would be clones, driverless cars, underwater hotels, and sex-robots in the future, and I want it all, but the closest I can get is this really slick phone. That’s what Apple offers, in a very tangible way.”
I mean well done Notch for all that money and all but I don't get why Microsoft would buy a hollow shell, which is what Mojang is if the key devs leave, in order to support a low-cost cross platform game.

I like how I have exceptions in Cobian to exclude this shit, but it still bails
@ewwhite Depends on the time scale. Finding a $1 bill makes me happy for 30 seconds. Winning a $10MM lottery would make me happy for life, give or take.
well, first those guys will get MS managers. Then there will be integration and migration projects. And then the product is more or less dead because no features were added in the last year
bloody good question. The borg have totally lost the plot here. They've paid a lot of money for what will be a hollow shell of a company once the founders leave.
@NathanC The license doesn't allow for most of the major mods, like Bukkit. Mojang has just been super nice about it, mostly because it drives game sales.
@NathanC The modding API, as it currently works, doesn't change major aspects of the game. It mostly just does graphics, skins. Very, very little else. "Mods" like Bukkit are a decompiled, modded, recompiled version of the game that clearly violates the license. Mojang is reportedly working on an extensive API to make this all legal, but that isn't the state of things now. More details about the "workbench" api minecraft.gamepedia.com/Plugin_API
Technically speaking, if one wanted to update a RHEL or CentOS server using yum, but only up to a certain release date (i.e. don't install any updates released after X date), would it be possible and if so, how?
So far, the only way I can think of is to use a dedicated satellite server or a loca...
I have about a dozen low end servers of varying makes and models and most have mirrored raid. I'm a bit confused about whether after a disaster (that hasn't harmed the drives) can I can take a drive from a mirrored set and stick it in another machine and use it as normal or do I need another comp...
@ewwhite - ready to hear about my backwoods free approach to terminal server internet filtering?
The users are locked down to only using IE on the tserver, so I set a per user GPO on that server that sets a proxy server to 127.0.0.1 and bypasses the proxy for the 5 websites they are allowed to go to. Simple, free, works. They don't have access to the menu options, etc. in IE, nor cmd prompt, explorer, taskmgr, etc. so they'd have to be pretty creative to work around it somehow...
