Additionally, professionals generally use grammar, punctuation and make their written communications readable, rather giving off the impression that they might be a tween grl txtng hr BFFs, lol — HopelessN00b25 secs ago
@HopelessN00b information he sorely needs, yes (especially if he wants someone like me to hire him). Nice? borderline, but closer to the no side than the yes :)
(if you had said "txting IDK her BFF Jill" it would have been clearly over the line - but marginally funnier :)
@voretaq7 Oh, come on. I went out of my way to say he was just giving off the impression he might be a tween girl, rather than implying or saying it. How much nicer can you expect? :p
@MichaelHampton Heh, yeah, that one still makes me chuckle too.
Damn, I can smell pot from somewhere in the neighborhood, but I can't see the source... that's some ridiculously strong stuff that some bastard isn't sharing.
@pauska Depends what you mean by "troubleshooting." We default to "reinstall [problem]," which is about as far as I cared to go, after Googleshooting what PoS component to reinstall. We probably end up having to do that for a couple machines a week, on account of McAfee.
@pauska Oh, that. Yeah, it's causing us problems too. We just reboot, on account of our RDS server only being used by half a dozen people for some iSeries PoS. Sorry. :(
@Iain not using any kind of tools is kind of awkward.. you'll have to log in to each and every system and shutdown manually etc if you need to do mass shutdown/reboots
@dan @robm - Managed to replicate that beeping NIC issue.
It's true. A short, dog-whistle level whine from the motherboard that coincides with the activity light on the on-board NIC. Only happens when the machine is in standby, but could just be being drowned out by the system.
Tellingly, unplugging the LAN cable stops it, but only after a long, 3 second verison of the same whine. Dodgy capacitor is my guess.

True, it's entirely useless for anyone who doesn't know what they are. It does imply some sort of active functionality. It's like someone tried so hard to de-jargon a genuine description without any understanding of their own.
I started out the 2012 RedHat Study Buddy Group with the best of intentions. I really did. And then, life happens. Or maybe that’s my excuse. The short story, is that my personal development in this endeavor has halted in the last three weeks, thus I have not posted anything about it. TL;DR I’m lame Okay, Maybe There’s More to It A few rush projects for a client got in the…
@pauska Although I suppose those are "tools". (clusterssh, pssh — parallel ssh program)
@Dan You can manage the virtual address space of VMs without needing to map the entirety of RAM into your address space. Same way that a 32-bit kernel can use more than 4GB of RAM.
@MikeyB so, instead of letting the hypervisor shut down vm's gracefully via vmware tools (or <hypervisor>tools) when there is an emergency (like power failure) you'd rather 1. Install some third party monitoring software, 2. Write a wrapper that reads alerts from the monitoring service and 3. then initiate vm shutdowns?
I DUN SEE POINT
same with start up after failure aswell. Do you power on all your vm's at the same time? I/O storms are not funny
with the tools installed you can at least make sure that you don't have more than X number of VM's starting up at the same time pre-tools-init
@pauska Oh, apparently I didn't read far back enough in that conversation. scrolls up. Oh yeah, definitely install VMware (or generic) tools into your VMs. That way you can communicate with guests. Although I really don't get why vSphere can't send an ACPI Power Off without the tools.
I think the point he was making is that the VirtualBox GUI can only assign the amount of RAM that the OS can "see". So, yes, a 64-bit guest may be able to use all 8GB of RAM if they so wanted but the GUI won't let you assign the memory to the machine.
@Dan Yeah. As long as his hardware has VT-x support enabled.
Oh gods… for some reason this bring back memories of my OS class in University. You know what's fucked up? Working on an OS where kernel space and user space have different endianness.
@Dan Without it it'll have to be managed by VirtualBox itself - I don't know the exact mechanism but it'll probably need to add an extra level of page table lookups (PAE) and handle page faults itself.
> VirtualBox's 64-bit guest support (added with version 2.0) and multiprocessing (SMP, added with version 3.0) both require hardware virtualization to be enabled. (This is not much of a limitation since the vast majority of today's 64-bit and multicore CPUs ship with hardware virtualization anyway; the exceptions to this rule are e.g. older Intel Celeron and AMD Opteron CPUs.)
I don't have the time to take back a "single digits" position... Likely wont for the next year and a half either. So you're safe from me. I'll be surprised if I'm not down to ~12 position by year end.
@tombull89 Yeah, because he's epic for incomprehensible not-an-answer and very-low-quality shite. He's gained hundreds of rep from having his shit deleted through the review queues. (Had the lowest voted answer on SF for quite a while until it got baleted.)
Seems wrong. "Rewarding" someone with lot of rep because he wrote so much, such horrible shit as to be deleted years later. :/
I own VMware Essentials license (6 CPU's)
One of the hosts is going to be replaced with a new one. I am having trouble removing/changing the license on that host.
As you can see on the image: the option to select the evaluation mode is grayed out for me.
How can I release that license?
EDIT...
I use 172.16.0.0/24 for my home devices, 172.16.255.0/24 for wireless, and 172.17.255.X/32 for routing devices. ISP uses 10.0.0.0/8 for cellphone 3g, and 192.168.2.0/24 for the local net.
@Dan Not on ipv4. But there's a difference between a guarantee of avoiding address collisions and picking the same address space as practically every fscking network device your employees will have at home.
I mean, there's no guarantee you won't have your dick chopped off accidentally, at some point. Doesn't mean you should try to learn how to juggle knives with your ballsack.
@ewwhite Right, the whole reason that private IP range collisions (and stupidity in architecture) matter... at least for a few more years, until everyone who matters is on IPv6, and drag the rest of the stupid world kicking and screaming with them.
