oh

and it only likes specific disk controllers.

Recycle Bin

its an intel N7260

Journeyman Geek

I'd go with KVM if you want a hypervisor, on fedora.

Recycle Bin

disk controller is an Intel ICH8

ethernet NIC is realtek i think

Journeyman Geek

12:01 AM

yup

wait. wifi?

Recycle Bin

wifi is the intel

Journeyman Geek

You don't run wifi on a hypervisor typically ;p

Recycle Bin

there may be a secondary sata controller too

ok

Journeyman Geek

Basically

unless you're running server grade hardware or an all intel hardware stack (and I don't know how AMD faires) this is gonna be painful.

Well or you pick out hardware someone else has used before

apparently the NUCs with proper processors work well

Recycle Bin

its an X64 cpu

the only thing that isnt intel is the Ethernet, and the GPU though the i7 has integrated graphics

and obvioustly drives and stuff arent intel

it says ATA channel 2 and ATA channel 4 as well as intel ich8 so idk if there just attached to the intel or not

or if they have their own controller

USB controller is intel

Journeyman Geek

12:18 AM

Ethernet's the big pain in the ass here

I've tried this

and of course random failures

those are just mean

Recycle Bin

hmm ok

It should ask if you want to skip it and set it up later really

instead it just says hit f11 to reboot

ram and PCI controller is intel

what are NUC's

Next Unit of Computing

Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a small form factor PC designed by Intel. Its first generation is based on the Sandy Bridge Celeron CPU. Its second generation CPU is based on the Ivy Bridge Core i3 and Core i5 processors. Its third generation is based on the Haswell architecture. Its motherboard measures 4 × 4 inches (10.16 × 10.16 cm). The barebone kits consist of the board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply and VESA mounting plate. Intel does offer for sale just the NUC motherboards, which have a built-in CPU, although (as of 2013) the price of a NUC motherboard is very close...

I've been doing many tests to get a sense of what to expect throughout the day. Speeds have proven to be very consistent, although there is some variation in ping.

Again, not the fastest connection, but much better than DSL.

Michael Frank

1:02 AM

@DragonLord That can't be better by much... surely not.

DragonLord

Yeah, DSL just sucked. We used to get a full 1 Mbps downstream on DSL. The performance has progressively degraded as time went on, likely due to degrading wiring and equipment (both on the premise and at the telco's), while the price has gone up to nearly $30.

The upstream bandwidth eventually became extremely low (144 Kbps, anyone?) and that made any sort of multitasking on the network unbearably slow.

By the time we turned off the DSL modem, downstream speeds dropped to as low as 700 Kbps.

Pretty much unusable for our purposes.

Inferior service at an excessive price.

This cable Internet service costs $15 a month, and that's a stable price.

We've had enough with DSL.

There's fibre where I live (Verizon Fios), but it's too expensive.

Recycle Bin

Midcontinent Communications is like the dakota area but its lke 90$

its rated number 1 though like everywhere

DragonLord

The natural answer was Time Warner Cable, which has a low-priced plan that, while slow, is still miles away from Verizon's crappy "High Speed" DSL service, proving to be 5x as fast under practical conditions.

so I just want it to continue over those

it worked fine when there weren't any empty cells there

also, Excel reaaaaally loves scientific notation in places where I really don't want them

it's not a problem while the phone numbers are less than 15 digits

Bob

@Leathe yknow how you fix that? set the cell format to text. yes, really.

(which also makes sense because phone numbers aren't really numbers in hte programmer's sense of the word. they're IDs.)

@JourneymanGeek It sounds great, until you realise it's generally a bad idea to pretend remote storage is really local.

I suppose you can try to recover it like any other deleted files and use a data recovery tool

According to the answers there, it's not really possible

Are you saying keystore file will not be registered in system recovery like image or other files

I assume all the files should considered same for recovery system right?

Leathe

Don't know

Oliver Salzburg

10:29 AM

nypost.com/2015/10/18/…

Bob

@Gowri Generally, the answer to "can I recover deleted files" is NO.

Unless you're very lucky and it's very recent with light usage, or you have some form of constant backup (e.g. shadow copies in Windows).

Sorry, but that's just about how it goes.

Leathe

(and you realize to unmount the drive right after deletion)

to prevent overwriting

Bob

@Leathe Normally that comes with pulling the power, especially if it's a system drive.

Even initiating a shutdown can overwrite your data.

Leathe

true

but unmount -l /home ;P

Bob

Anyway, several days and your chances of successful recovery hover somewhere between "zero" and "impossible".

Gowri

10:34 AM

@Bob: That's really sad, I feel lost here. I spend few days on it.

Leathe

wait no, it's sudo unmount -l /home

Gowri

I think I need to move on with new app id

Leathe

which isn't even recommended

Bob

@Gowri That might be the best path forward.

Leathe

Seems like it

Bob

10:36 AM

You can still attempt recovery if you want, but it's often a waste of time.

Gowri

@Leathe Yeah true, I don't wanna risk my other data

Bob

Depends how important this data is to you.

Simply, as soon as you delete a file the filesystem is free to write anything on top of the area that previously held that data. Whether that's happened or not depends on how much activity there has been since the deletion, how big the deleted file was, whether it was relatively close to the 'start' of the drive (or however else the FS picks where to write to, basically sums up to luck), etc.

wtf. Why is cloud.hartwig-at.de resulting in a redirect loop? The Apache config is driving me nuts :(

<VirtualHost *:80>
        Redirect / cloud.hartwig-at.de
</VirtualHost>

That is my first virtual host configuration

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName cloud.hartwig-at.de
        Redirect / cloud.hartwig-at.de
</VirtualHost>

That is my second one

Now I would assume that all hosts that aren't cloud.hartwig-at.de get redirected to cloud.hartwig-at.de, which then redirects to HTTPS

Bob

@OliverSalzburg And what's your host for :443?

Oliver Salzburg

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName cloud.hartwig-at.de
</VirtualHost>

That the next configuration after that

With all the SSL stuff as well, of course

Bob

shrug

Oliver Salzburg

And that part works great. cloud.hartwig-at.de has no problem. Only the HTTP redirects aren't working at all

Something is really fishy here :P

When I remove the default config, cloud.hartwig-at.de works. But that is only because I get send to the first found configuration, not because the name matches

Because when I rename the config so it appears later in the list, I get send to some customers site instead

Humm, I guess, because the first config doesn't have ServerName, Apache deduces it via IP reverse lookup. So that is implicitly the configuration for cloud.hartwig-at.de, as that is the name of the host

HackToHell

1:46 PM

@OliverSalzburg Why do you apache :O

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell Mainly because we serve a lot of PHP on that host and because that's how it has always been on that host

HackToHell

Oh well, time to switch perhaps ? ;p

Oliver Salzburg

We use nginx in other areas of our infrastructure

@HackToHell To gain what?

HackToHell

You could make it nginx everyhwere, instead of having to deal with a lone Apache install .

Oliver Salzburg

We use nginx for completely different use cases. We serve several PHP websites based on TYPO3 CMS, which, to my knowledge, is only supported on Apache. So, moving that to an unsupported infrastructure without any clear benefits would not be a smart decision IMHO

Also, I've never set up PHP with nginx, but I was told that it is a pain compared to Apache

HackToHell

1:52 PM

Oh no, php + nginx pretty much works out of the box.

Well if it's tied down to old code, i don't think anything can be done.

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell Good to hear a different opinion in that regard :)

I rarely ever touch any of the Apache configs on that host. We've been hosting the sites on that host for ages. All of our FairManager product stuff uses nginx and Node

Luckily, I don't have to deal with PHP anymore. I'm not a fan :P

And, well, I still use that host to serve critical web content like cloud.hartwig-at.de ;P

DavidPostill

Where's the garlic and silver bullets? I think I've been bitten by a help vampire :/

Bob

@OliverSalzburg IIRC a fairly common setup is to have nginx serve as a reverse proxy and then use apache purely as an appserver.

So SSL termination, etc., happens at the nginx layer
