@Adrian Crap, you're up 100 rep, only 15 minutes into the day. If only you'd gotten that +2 half an hour ago, you'd be a sure thing to have VTC privileges for Monday. :P
Honestly, Comms Room does 2/3rds of the voting on Server Fault. I think most of our traffic is drive-bys. At best from other .SE sites, but mostly Google-driven traffic.
Indeed. All the more reason I think one should be able to earn a higher vote ceiling with more rep (or more voting activity), like one earns mods flags.
@HopelessN00b Hmm. Guess I'd not realized that mod flags worked that way. Mine's up around 40ish, I think. Haven't used them as much lately since they totally revamped flagging.
@Adrian I think I'm at 46 or so. Remember starting at 10, and being delighted to notice the number increasing almost daily as I went after the Marshall badge.
67 great answers... Even for how easy it is to get rep on SO, his is pretty impressive. You have to go back really far to see a day where he didn't have more than 200 rep.
And I don't mean 200 or more, I mean, more than 200.
No idea. The work domain is still 2003 R2 FL, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get the IPv6 block I was allocated over to the home.
So the extent of my experience with IPv6 is currently being on hold with techs from the local ISP who say that's not what a subnet mask looks like, that's a MAC address! *sigh*
The extra addresses look to me like privacy addresses, which really should be disabled in any sort of business environment. Try disabling IPv6 privacy addresses:
netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=active
netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=persistent
netsh in...
And if there's no registry value, then what the hell is netsh doing?
Well, you'd create an administrative template for group policy (custom)... or go the hacky route and just throw in a script to disable the reg key that controls IPv6 private addresses.
@MichaelHampton Nah, there's gotta be a registry value.
@MichaelHampton Sounds like more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. I'll probly just run procmon to see what the command accesses. Faster and simpler.
@MichaelHampton Sounds like fun, unless it's yours.
The people that use it. It's like programming. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, just that, well... all the programmers turn into developers after they've been exposed to it for too long.
If you don't ditch that Rails thing quick, you'll be transformed into an unspeakable abomination... a web developer .
Eh, seems admining a Rails app is fairly easy. Edit configs in the config directory, run rake db:migrate on install or update, and go make some coffee.
here is the scenario - there is a small set (200gb around) of data that I HAVE to keep available. Those are basically shared VHD images that serve as master images for a lot of our VM's - they then run in differential discs off those. The whole set is "mostly read only". In more detail: A file th...

So, @Iain, did I do it right this time? :)
Welcome to Server Fault. Unfortunately, home networking questions are not on topic here. You may wish to visit our sister site Super User and consult their FAQ to determine if your question would be on topic there. Oh, and also, you should have donated 12 years ago; this today gives me a never-expiring DynDNS Pro package that now costs $20/year. — Michael Hampton7 mins ago
> Your question is off topic for Serverfault because it doesn't appear to relate to servers/networking or desktop infrastructure in a professional environment. It may be on topic for Superuser but please search their site for similar questions that may already have the answer you're looking for.
@MichaelHampton I think it was about 12 years ago that I signed up for my first noip domain, so sure. Finding out that our newest gaming group member is younger than most of my CDs has changed how I perceive time.
@ScottPack I've been told the real tipping point for feeling old is when the girls you're jerking off to on the internet weren't even born when you graduated highschool
@MarkHenderson That time could be highly variable. For example, I've only got a few more years. You, however, probably crossed the threshold what, 10 years ago?
@ScottPack See, now, it sounds so much worse than it really is. He got re-married when he was in his mid 60's after he was widowed for a long time, and she was in her 40's

@MichaelHampton Yeah I cleaned it up to make it more understandable as well. The guys terminology was quite off
@ShaneMadden Interestgly the nasty comment was really quite sanitary and was from, well I shan't name names, but a long-time high-rep user who doesn't use chat
The comment was Given your obvious lack of knowledge of the subject I can only wonder why you are involved in this at all. If you intend to do any more work that involves DNS please do the world a favour and take a moment to learn at least the basics. DNS is too critical and there are already far too many broken systems out there.
I mean, really, I would have told him the same thing had I seen it
I put in a new drive due to a hard drive failure. When the rebuild got to 100%, the controller fails and I need to reboot the server to bring it online. I had to do this about three times and it eventually finished rebuilding. But I found that it says parity initialization status failed. I've l...
@MichaelHampton I once did some work at a place that had a 48-disk Ultra160 array; I think they were 36Gb disks. They had a hot spare, but the array was under such huge stress (it was doing live call recordings for a huge call center, maybe 2,000 separate RTP streams being written at once) that it took over a week to rebuild the missing disk. So hot spares or not, all that does is take a few hours off the recovery time :P
I have a lot of data (about 7 TB), stored across multiple hard-drives with varying sizes. I would like to have a backup of that data to be safe against drive failure. A RAID is not a good option for me, as I want to keep my cost low and be able to easily extend the storage capacity of my setup by...
I found a bunch of drives in my garage on the weekend, old PATA from 80-300gb in size. Gunna fire them up, see what's on them, tonight. With any luck I'll find some long forgotten porn.
Really? That warrants an email to the SE team? And the SE team's "looking into it?"
Jesus fucking Christ, if I get any bullshit "complaints" like that about anyone on my team, I tell the complainer to knock the sand out of their vagina before bothering me again unless they want a steel-toed boot up their ass.
@MarkHenderson Oh. I sincerely hope you're wrong. If the SE team finds advice to read the manual/learn anything at all about what you're wanting to do before you do it to be inappropriate advice, this site's doomed.
@HopelessN00b I realise it's night Sunday in the US. I don't know if Jesus makes you angry or if you just found out that your latest fling has a penis, but that's some harsh responses :P
@HopelessN00b 99% of the time they leave us alone, but let's not kid ourselves here; the SE team are here to make money. They might have started out with the best of intentions to just make enough to buy a gold plated Mercedes AMG and nothing more, but now that they have VC expect the powers that be to step in to make the site more appealing to advertisers
@MarkHenderson Really? Waste my time and try to get one of team in shit over nothing... I think harsh words are a mild response, compared to say, trying to hurt the whiny bitch right back, which is what I'm inclined to do/want to do, honestly.
@MarkHenderson Well, no doubt, but they're fooling themselves if they think they can turn professional sysadmins into touchy-feely pansies, and they're fooling themselves if they think they'd make more money by not having this site, which seem to be their two options, given the parameters.
Well, since it's so easy to clone this site, I think I'm going to start up serveritsyourfault.com, where you can be as harsh as you want to the idiots.
@HopelessN00b I totes agree it's wrong, but at the end of the day, they are the ones with a ton of money in the site, so I guess that lends weight to decisions made
@MarkHenderson Typical Upper management stupidity. Instead of letting the people who know what they're doing do it, micromanage, fuck things up, and then blame failure on someone else.
@HopelessN00b So... here's a pill. It has "chill" written on it. Thus I assume it's a "chill pill". Take it. Savour it. Digest it. Let its LSD lovliness work its way through your intestines into your blood system, where it will saturate your brain with euphoric feelings.
@MarkHenderson Eh, who knows, maybe I can make a few bucks from it. I'm sure there are sysadmins out there who want to say what they really feel, like @HopelessN00b there.
Your own comment system against the real site. Except it's like russian roulette. Each comment you make can be voted on. Once it hits +5, it gets submitted via the API as a real comment against the question
@MarkHenderson As much as I'm sure I'd be a much more nicely-disposed person if I could take a "chill" pill, all the chemicals that chill me out are illegal because, again, stupid fuckwits who feel the need to control everyone's lives.
