@Nixphoe It's a pain in the ass to connect back to each and confirm - but not to worry, as they'll end up blacklisted by half the internet in no time flat
Lets suppose that I have a server connected to a public 100mbps network switch. This server serves a webpage of 1mbps for example. So, how do I estimate the connection's saturation point?
Is this correct: 100mbps/1mb (page size) = 100 per sec. Which means, the saturation point is 100 simultaneou...
here's a quick question, I have a colleague that thinks that using the "net view" command and not having servers show up is a DNS issue. But nslookup works like a charm. I'm trying to track down how net view works, is that wins or netbios?
@ShaneMadden "I use robocopy for my backup solution, I like living on the edge and only copying X number of files, just to see if the people under me are checking the the backups are backing up ALL the files. Can I use Robocopy to backup random X number of files?"
@Nixphoe I think that's in place for any amount of rep -- from memory, I have the same restriction. But I'm not talking about accepting your own answer, I'm talking about providing one in the first place.
I compiled httpd-2.2.19 and mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0 manually, apache and mod_auth_mysql works fine, but when I try to make a mysql validation using Htaccess does not validate, always tells me that the password is incorrect, but this right I checked, this is the setup I use.

Depends what you mean by random.
Robocopy doesn't have a "copy some files at random and not others" flag, but it does support wildcard file selection. If you would accept "out of all my files, pick some specific files such that I don't know in advance how many, but I could know and will be t...
3 mailenable issues in 3 hours? "how to stop the spam thx bye" "I'm an open relay lol now what" and "its not sending email oh noes"? and no sarky comments on one of them yet

Pfft, sendmail.cf isn't terrible, just misunderstood. I'd never willingly use it again, but you have to appreciate a configuration file format that can solve the towers of hanoi.
Anytime there is an entire book written on the modification of just one of a program's config files, you know there's a problem. A problem that is best solved with plastic explosives.
@womble sendmail.cf doesn't so much solve the towers of hanoi as it makes you feel like you spent a year in the hanoi hilton.
I thought it would be good to register a site for horrid software, and considered shitsoftware.com but I found it was already registered and when I viewed it, it did the job for me. :/
The only SciFi I ever read and liked was C.S. Lewis's Perelandra trilogy.
Unless you count some paperback Star Wars and ET books from the early eighties.
Always wanted to get into the Foundation series. Sci Fi seems like such a mental and emotional investment... and all for unreality. When I read, I usually prefer things like philosophy, theology or history.
I would like to allow only certain ip ranges (CIDR) and block everything else, however, I have those IPs that I want to allow on a text file. How could I load them up from the allow.file to IPTABLES interface eth0?
Thanks
I saw a comment on a question somewhere in SE yesterday saying "I prefer not to think of powershell as CMD with the good bits removed, but as bash without the good bits"
this sucks. And what sucks more is that complaining about it sucking wont help
It. Does. Not. Work. That. Way.
Ethernet over Cat5/6/7 is point to point only. It does not work like a telephone line (despite looking similar). Each wire must go only from one device to one other device.
Somewhere
I've seen a uk size, deep backbox fascia with a teeeny switch built in.
Can't bloody find it now.
The nearest I've found are plenum safe industrial ethernet devices
I was wondering if there is a way to change the owner permissions of a file only is the owner is currently "fred" for example, leave all groups the same.
The reason for this is that I have recently been forced to login to SFTP via a different user and need to update all of the previous owned fi...
@TomOConnor During the planning phases of a recent network upgrade, we had some quotes that included things like that. They were 4 port managed switches that were designed to be used instead of keystones. Neat stuff.
I've also seen plenty of cases where they would run one line and split it up into 2 pair, punching down each set to a separate jack and switch port. 100Mps runs fine, not so much gig.
In fact, I know of places with thousands of so called 'split-pair' runs. About the only difference that I can see is that in my case you'll actually have two wall jacks.
If your computer is getting somewhat sluggish, you might think yu have no choice but to upgrade to a new one. STOP! Read on. True, the latest software tends to be more resource intensive than ever, but this does not mean that a 3 year old computer is obsolete. One reason so many computers become ...
@TomOConnor Back in the days of 10baseT, that was a fairly common practice. Doesn't work now, of course, because modern forms of Ethernet use all four pairs.
Why Powershell doesn't default the prompt to user@hostname is beyond me.
I think it just shows to go you that the concept of remote command line administration is a very foreign concept in the Windows world. I say that to my own shame.

Oh my god... why is Hotmail sync with my iPhone so stupid
It's downloaded my whole inbox (good) but they're all showing as unread. That's very, very, very bad, considering there's several hundred :/
If only Microsoft made some software which synchronised your emails with a mobile device. And it would be awesome if when you read a message on one, it would update on the other. And it could synchronise sub-folders too. If only they made something which actively sync'ed these things, it would be amazing.
Woohoo! Interesting discussion on snarkiness going on at Meta.SF. Good topic to bring up @Iain as I've seen a slight downward trend in the attitude here in the last few months (including my own), but I'd like to get into the topic a bit deeper than just "be nice." I never liked that line in the ServerFault FAQ - it's virtually meaningless.
Mayhaps we'll get some good thoughts into the topic now and pull the standard towards a generally more productive level.
