hey

Sigh - why did my manager write 5,120GB instead of...5TB?

I love the smell of fresh troll in the morning

@cole At least he didn't call 5,000GB 5TB

@NathanC he wrote 5,000GB in some other places.

@JoelESalas Lol, the most pathetic board I have ever seen.

43,980,000,000,000,000 Bits would be nice.

@MarkHenderson Don't you have a naming convention for your servers? Jupiter, Mars, Earth....

Q: How do I root my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V)

@jscott Good point

0

Guess I might as well grab this one since it doesn't exist. I listed my specific carrier's model in the question because that's important, however the CW post for rooting states there should only be one question per model, so answers for other versions of the GS5 are appropriate answers for this ...

rooting samsung-galaxy-s-5

1:08 PM

I suppose a "Toy Story 4, The Next Generation" could also extend that list.

Anyone using DSC in their server deployments? during scripted install/imaging? I'd love to hear your musings on what's best.

@jscott I'm looking into using it.

Also, looks like we're going to be replacing CA for package deployment - System Center is a possibility.

hooray

@jscott as in Desired State Configuration??

@cole I've played with DSC on already deployed installs, but I'm looking to clean up my server deployment process. I'm curious how much DSC others are using in deployment. More than just adding a call to SetupComplete.cmd that is.

@BigHomie Yup.

@jscott Yeah, I'm looking to actually implement a process.

@jscott I don't use it during deployment, but I've toyed around with it and have some baselines deployed

1:14 PM

My manager has given me the go ahead to automate all the things.

Very weird year here.

Curious, how you would use it during deployment??

AD upgrade approaching, Solaris refresh (moving from 10 to 11, too), disk refresh (moving from Sun arrays to Hitachi HUS-VM), automate all the things, replace CA..

@BigHomie I'm not sure... Thinking of some simple things at first, enable Features, get some server default "utility" installs (7zip, Notepad++) done? I don't know yet. :)

The company I left here for the two months i was gone - had a "build finish script"

1:17 PM

which was actually super cool - and I'd like to emulate that.

Michael Hampton

@TheCleaner Fuck that shit.

Thank you sir...glad it wasn't just my lack of caffeine.

@jscott I don't think that's DSC you're thinking of

DSC is mostly passive, it will check certain things to make sure the configuration is in compliance, but (at least sccm 2012) won't remediate those problems, only report. 2012 will remediate certain reg key compliances, that was it

So, you could check for the presence of 7zip.exe for example in a particular folder, and a particular version of the exe if you wanted to (or the hash of the exe if you wanted, sometimes that's easier), and report compliance based on that

@cole what did that do?

@BigHomie checked to make sure all the required patches were installed, added the server to the correct OU, updated the inventory DB, and some other stuff. I forget now which sucks - I need more coffee though

1:34 PM

@cole nice

Trying to think of all the things I could automate.

@cole From what I've seen thus far? everything but group policy, literally

@cole Start with the shit you spend the most time doing, and work towards the goal of being paid to sleep while your scripts do work.

@HopelessN00b Unless of course, you have to implement GPPP...... then, forget it.

@BigHomie Come again? I've used DSC to run the installers on already deployed servers. Granted this was outside of SCCM, just a PS1 file running on the server.

1:40 PM

@jscott Oh, I've only used it from w/in sccm

@cole more likely that he doesn't like dealing with computer issues he hates. He's probably the same guy that would talk your ear off about his latest PC build or similar tech he likes.

2:03 PM

@TheCleaner nope, he's not at all actually.

He literally works 8-4:30, nothing more nothing less - and usually can never be found when on call

@cole Why do people view working your hours as a bad thing? Ignoring the on call bit

@cole ah...so he "snuck in" to IT and probably has been at it for years but never moved up. Yes?

@Dan it's not a bad thing - just saying he's not into it at all.

@cole Fair one :)

@cole FML, this shops makes us work 8:00-18:00, and they want to increase it one more hour

2:05 PM

@TheCleaner yeah he's been in the same position for years

@dawud ouch

I usually work 8-4:30/5 in the office then go home and work. Nearly always answer the phone when I'm on call, too.

Even when I'm not on call, I get called.

@dawud Wow, are you salaried or do you get any kind of overtime?

@dawud Am I the only one that reads FML as "For the Mother-f'ing Loss"? I thought that was what it stood for until I just googled it...

God damn our file server is a fucking mess.

@Wesley nope, that is the standard

@TheCleaner for me its Fuck My Life

Oh again with this. <_<

2:08 PM

Who's @Wesley'ing all over the star wall again?

@cole Yeah, I've worked with guys like this before. Usually they got into IT at a large company through a temp agency, sometimes in the 90s when anyone with remotely IT-like skill was hired. They end up complaining about their job all the time and bounce from low end tech position all over the place.

when overtime is requested, you can end up staying at the office until 20:00-21:00.

@Wesley Indeed. In the meantime, stuff like this happens all the time: elmundo.es/elmundo/2013/06/14/espana/1371218028.html

that is the guy who manages the money for the party currently in charge

he had 47 millions € in Switzerland in a hidden account...

@dawud So it sounds like the powers at your job know they have a captive workforce and are yanking your chain to get more hours for less money.

@dawud 45% even...

@faker Yeah, he'll regret that

@faker And that's a situation that feeds xenophobia, seeing foreign people "stealing" jobs from nationals, and all that crap. Happens here.

@DanilaLadner That's how it is where you live too?

@MikeyB Is it actually supported by Microsoft, or just a "supported configuration," so long as you don't expect support to help you?

3:03 PM

@HopelessN00b It is actually supported by Microsoft. Plus they've been supporting them in the sense of allowing the Samba4 team to use/see some AD and Windows Server code.

@BigHomie because I'm way more comfortable with the RPM side of things and I see CentOS as not blleding-edge for me enough. Also, most of my experience with Linux have been with Fedora. 32-bit because the machine is running under 512 MB of RAM and might be upgraded to 1 GB, so 64-bit would be just crippling the already limited amount of memory.

@PatoSáinz yeah, i was a fan of Suse, while in Russia, it is quite more popular there, than it is here in US.

@danila depends on if you want HA or not. Probably $15k-17k

@PatoSáinz On your server? 2 things: always 64bit, and why do you need bleeding edge?

fuck, that is quite a stretch on the budget.

3:17 PM

@Wesley poor fellow! we shall see

if no HA?

That would include proper caching and a very fast ZIL

@PatoSáinz 64 bit at the lowest level will use 8 byte pointers, which will technically use double the amount of ram supplied off the heap when using malloc(), yes, however if you decide to keep this machine around long term it will save you from having to rebuild, and 8 bytes isn't really all that much

@AzkerM He will be killed with extreme prejudice and a twist of lemon.

> Ubuntu 14.04 comes with Python 3.4, but unfortunately, it doesn't bundle the ensurepip module (and a host of others). By the looks of things, the idea was to use Ubuntu's own packages instead[1], but it didn't make it in time.

This means that pip being bundled by default—one of Python 3.4 coolest features—is missing. Trying to create a virtualenv using the bundled virtualenv module fails as well. Big mess.[2]

@MikeyB but under which license did you release that?

@faker The proprietary one. You have to pay him $1.50 each time you use Python's base conversion functionality.
