Though interestingly, Windows servers set up without a GUI (which can be managed with PowerShell) do let you install the components that give them normal-ish GUIs
@Bob I remember they changed it to check for certain stack corruption, just enough to not crash horribly or deadlock, but does it actually deduce the correct stack layout from the command line? That would be impressive!
So we're supposed to spend the day learning our jobs. 1) I know my job and am damn good at most of it 2) NO ONE SENIOR WORKS SO THERE IS NO ONE TO LEARN FROM.
I just bought a lenovo ideapad 310 15ikb couple of days ago and the cooling fan has never stops and it goes loudly with high speed all the time even though the CPU usage is at 10% maximum and the temp is 32c maximum.
I'v tried a lot of solutions such as closing all background activities,updating ...
Hi, today is my last session at PyDev. I'll be showing them IRC (#PyDev on Freenode), SO Python room, SU Root Access and Sandbox. Please get the bots ready. Do we have any bots written in Python?
Timing: 9am - 10am IST
You can expect one or two of the students to pop in anytime between 9:30am to 12:30pm IST
We have them in JS, and broken half the time, like real devs
@DavidPostill @Mokubai ^ (in case ;p)
ugh decisions decisions.
So, need to stand up the new server. Decided to run it on ubuntu. Need to decide 1) whether to give into @Bob's peer pressure and do ZFS and LXD 2) whether to go for ubuntu LTS or a current release and upgrade more frequently
@Bob so basically what I get on Verizon at Customer HQ -- the experience today with AT&T was the polar opposite; 45/6 with low ping and high reliability and full "bars" cellular signal
@JourneymanGeek you only really need one non-ZFS partition for /boot; your ZFS pool can be mounted on /, and you can boot directly off of that and your ext4 or xfs /boot
@JourneymanGeek for my box, I have about a gig of important data out of about 1.2 TB of total data, so I have that backed up to rsync.net (cryptomalware-proof online backups) via rsync/crontab
From the very little knowledge i have, every PCI device has 4 interrupt pins. Pins from the many different PCI devices on the motherboard (Built-in or external devices) are routed to an IO-APIC (Advanced programmable interrupt controller) through a programmble interrupt router. So that was the topology.
As far as i know when an interrupt occur, the IO-APIC will be signaled and it will raise an INT to the CPU then magic happens and CPU starts executing an ISR (Interrupt Service Routine).
What was that magic ? i mean how does the CPU received the interrupt vector (is it a special PCI bus cycle ?) and through which data path ? ..what happened to the CPU at that moment when it received the INT? and what will happen if the the IRQ was shared by many devices ?
What is the communication that should happen between the CPU and the IO-APIC to handle the INT ? and what Bus is used for that communication ? PCI bus or another special BUS between CPU and APIC ?
@Bob i know that the kernel will load ane execute all ISRs of devices sharing the IRQ. But that means the when the INT happens some kind of a universal Interrupt routine is loaded first and executed rather than choosing one from the vector that should be provided by the APIC !!!
i read the specs of PCI / APIC, documents but still don't have a clear idea. Because there are different implementations and there is the past. Internet is full of overpassed technology.
I really need to find a financial advisor. I could make a small profit selling something but not entirely sure it's not worth waiting until it's price increases :$
@JourneymanGeek surely if they are going to be creating bots to spam each other then it would be better to keep the noise in their own private room or, better yet, on their own private website?
create ramdisk and copy your root in, pivot_root into it, install zfs pool over entire drive (minus partition for boot), copy your root back onto it, reboot and \o/
@JourneymanGeek ya
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 1953508743 1953506696 931.5G Solaris /usr & Apple ZFS

@JourneymanGeek apparently there kinda-sorta is a zfs resize o.O
TIL
@JourneymanGeek I'm gonna be kinda away for a few hours soon. But I'd be happy to walk you through the whole thing if you want.
Or I can dump my notes on you if you prefer to puzzle it out :P
@JourneymanGeek you need separate /boot, yea. I'd suggest nuking the whole HDD. but you can use your current install to get into the pivot_root environment first
@Bob so far, pretty terrible - it feels a LOT slower than my other dedi, I miss having IPMI, when stuff breaks it takes a pretty long time to get things fired back up...
@DavidPostill That's because it's just the same thing written in Hindi, pronounced the same way. But when you have different words, it'll often choose the incorrect meaning
