Q: Is it possible to use a dedicated parody drive without striping?

I'm setting up a log server. I'd like to set them up so that each disk is independent of the next, but the last disk is parody of all the rest. The reason why I want this is because: 1) You can't enable TRIM with striping (as far as I know). 2) SSDs have a higher probability of corrupting data (t...

it just makes fun of the other drive...

@NathanOsman NICE

TheX

How is it possible that I can rip a dvd to a nas4free box over the network, faster then I can rip it to a local SSD, by about 10 mins? (Same DVD by the way).

Nathan Osman

@TheX Which did you do first?

Could be a disk cache issue.

TheX

1:40 AM

I tried both...

once to the local first and once to the nas first

Nathan Osman

2:07 AM

Then no wonder it was faster the second time.

The contents of the DVD were likely in the cache.

You should try it again but restart the computer between tries.

That will rule out any kind of disk cache.

Ill give it a shot later

@ByteCommander No, and they've earnt themselves an automatic IP ban for that vandalism.

ByteCommander

@Oli But that will just work until they re-connect their router the next time, no?

Btw do you block IPv4 or v6?

Oli

@ByteCommander That's a fairly labour intensive way of trying (and failing) to vandalise a site... Their edits aren't even getting through.

@ByteCommander Pass. I don't block anybody, SE does this all automatically.

ByteCommander

That's what I meant...

Because most people don't have unique v4 addresses any more but are forced to use DS-Lite tunnels...

Oli

@ByteCommander I'm not sure that's true for "most people".

ByteCommander

All "normal" clients of my ISP have to, including me.

And I bet other ISPs are also going out of v4 addresses...

You can see processes in your task manager (e.g. top), but you don't see threads.

@terdon Thanks, where did you found that by the way?

terdon

@kos I looked at the list of languages available. It helps to be a mod.

abhi

@ByteCommander okey @Rinzwind CAN U help me with it .. is that right ?

ByteCommander

SO check with that if the number of apache processes increases - but I don't think so.

Mind you, they're all listed as lang-foo but I know that bash and others work without lang. I've just noticed that some of them seem to need the lang-.

ByteCommander

9:46 AM

When I coded a server application in Java, I used a new Thread for every connection.

Default amount of processes in apache is EIGHT. So unless someone changed the config for that instance it would assume it to max out on 8 processes.

I see the "hit enter to start the search", but I can hit it as much as I want...

A.B.

Here it works.

abhi

which web server should i use if my application is in python ? Apache or nginx ?

ByteCommander

10:39 AM

Python sucks!

It continuously gives me permission problems...

forget it...

terdon

I'm no python fan but I doubt the language can be at fault if you're getting permission problems.

ByteCommander

@terdon Yes, that was my fault...

But do you know why I cant pass arguments with sudo -i?

I can do `sudo -u dummy -i "/opt/chatbot/SE-Chatbot/run"`,
but I can't do `sudo -u dummy -i "/opt/chatbot/SE-Chatbot/run -c garage"`!

@terdon you know what's going wrong here?

The second one tells me "-bash: opt/chatbot/SE-Chatbot/run -c garage: File or directory not found".

terdon

@ByteCommander Ah, I guess the python exec call needs options separately. Read its docs.

ByteCommander

What do you mean?

I can call "./run -c garage" without problems directly, but not with sudo -i

run is a link btw.

terdon

Is this in a python script?

ByteCommander

10:53 AM

No, I want to run that file from terminal.

terdon

Oh, why are you using -i then?

ByteCommander

The run links to a python script though.

What should I use instead?

terdon

Doesn't sudo -u dummy /opt/chatbot/SE-Chatbot/run -c garage work?

If you quote it, sudo attempts to run the entire string (including options) as a command.

ByteCommander

Do you have two spaces before -c accidentally?

terdon

$ sudo "ls -a"
sudo: ls -a: command not found

ByteCommander

10:55 AM

Ah, okay.

trying...

terdon

@ByteCommander Yes, that's irrelevant. The problem is that you're quoting the command given to sudo.

ByteCommander

@terdon Thanks, that worked.

terdon

np

KasiyA

Why this command doesn't work? I want to find all files like *20150421* but it gives me no result while I have files like that (?)

find -name '*$(date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d")*'

terdon

@KasiyA Show me your file names

Never mind, you have the date command in single quotes, it won't get expanded that way

This should work:

find -name "$(date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d")"

KasiyA

10:59 AM

I also tried with double qoutes

but that gives me error

Illegal variable name.

terdon

Huh? Works fine for me. What's the exact command your tried?

KasiyA

No luck same error.

Here is what I tru:

find /path/to/dir -name "*$(date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d")*"
Illegal variable name.

terdon

That works fine on my system.

Is your find an alias to something? Are you using bash?

KasiyA

really !!

let me check it

terdon

$ find  -name "*$(date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d")*"
./20150421

KasiyA

11:07 AM

Actually no, It's csh. so that cause the problem and then what should I do to get my desired output?

terdon

Um. not use csh? Why in the world are you using csh?

AT least switch to tcsh

I don't think that csh supports the $() for command substitution

Yes, this works in csh:

% find  -name `date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d"`
./20150421

Journeyman Geek

Work uses CSH :p

No idea why

@JourneymanGeek Really? Argh!

I assume you've read/know about "CSH programming considered harmful" ?

Lul. Oddly. Today.

After my boss bitched about CSH weirdness

@terdon That's an old system for my friend, I'm using bash and that's why I was oddly about that.

and let me check if that works or not :)

and we have a shitton of scripts in it.

And these are all written in csh? Poor puppy.

@terdon Because I don't want just find those files and I need find's exec and other abilities.

Yeah.

I love my job, but there's some aspects of it... ;p

(I'm still not sure what's not our stuff to keep an eye out for, for example)

KasiyA

And I'm not familiar with another shells except BASH, since I started to learn the shell with it :D

terdon

@KasiyA All of which are available no matter what shell you use. Why are you struggling with csh?

@KasiyA Well, run bash

KasiyA

That's part of his (my friend) job :)

not me :P

No, I mean, if you're using the machine, just open a terminal, run bash and do your work in bash instead of struggling with csh crap.

And I started my bash way :P

@blade19899 Ah, that makes sense. I think you could probably get 6-7 though

blade19899

@RPiAwesomeness I could also set the icons to their original size, and only the active player has this width and height!

RPi Awesomeness

Perhaps, but that still would make them harder to select.

Hope that this is not 'too broad', but I wasn't sure exactly how to make it more specific:

Q: How to get Wireshark to monitor a specific IP in the background

I have got Wireshark installed and I am wanting to monitor the traffic to and from a specific IP address, so what would be really useful would be if I could get Wireshark to start by itself on startup and then start capturing packets on eth0 which are either from or to that specific IP address. I...

Right, so how to I get tcpdump to capture packets to and from a specific IP address? And of course I need for it to log the packets and their information.

Is there a specific question/answer on meta on how to draw the line to extabilish whether a question is off-topic or not?

Specifically: most questions would fit on Unix & Linux. Is that valid enough reason to vote to close them?

A.B.

@Fabby Is that an answer? ;) askubuntu.com/a/463225/367165

@TheX I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!

WHAT THE FLIPPIN HECK HECK HAPPENED TO THE STATION AND MY BASE?

The station is ruined, half the supplies stolen, my base has been smashed into and all my valuables and a bunch more stolen. All my trees cut down and my horse stolen.

Oh yeah, and there's a Nazi symbol outside the station.

ByteCommander

@RPiAwesomeness Minecraft Nazis? o.O"??

RPi Awesomeness

@ByteCommander Indeed.

@TheX As soon as you get my message, get on the server and look around, especially at my place. Not sure if you did this, or if we have a griefer, but you're gonna have to roll back the server

TheX

4:56 PM

@RPiAwesomeness lol

let me check it out

RPi Awesomeness

@TheX Seriously. I'm perturbed.

TheX

When was the last time you logged in?

RPi Awesomeness

Just a few minutes ago

TheX

before that

Rinzwind

@kos nope.

RPi Awesomeness

5:00 PM

Oh, quite some time. I've been busy with school & the Pi 2

last time I got on was right around when we were working on the tunnel, maybe 2-3 days later

TheX

Okay...I will have to see what backups I have...checking logs to see if there is a random user that logged in recently...

I am at work right now so I can't do much...I don't have access to the backups

RPi Awesomeness

That's fine. I'm busy anyways, got another video I'm working on, but I popped on a little while ago and it was like Herobrine had struck

Mostly my place, but some of yours too

Fabby

@A.B. Flag as "this is not an answer"...

@Toroidal I use WireShark...

kos

@Rinzwind It's not a valid reason or there's no such post?

TheX

I took a back up monday..so lets hope it happened after that or we will have to go further back...

We haven't been really active as of late, so I don't think it will be to bad if we have to go back a week or so..

You guys let just anyone use the server?

For example, if someone asks about how to integrate PHPMyAdmin with lamp, nor PHPMyAdmin nor lamp are in a default Ubuntu install, and the solution is not Ubuntu-specific. Unless Ubuntu itself it's causing some troubles it should be migrated / closed right?

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness you know this person desimator9999

or pspjoker

ByteCommander

both sound evil...
