@Shads0: a usb port in my newish laptop snapped off. Its a thinkpad, so i may have onsite service. However lenovo's drop off center for servicing is in Parkview Square en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkview_Square
A few of us at my company have root access on production servers. We are looking for a good way to make it exceedingly clear when we have ssh'd in.
A few ideas we have had are:

@jscott. Absolutely. No root access, but everyone must sudo everything. The knowledge that everything you is audited is always a good way to make sure you behave.
"I just moved my website to XYZ free hosting site and pointed my official site there because it's SOOO much nicer to use than the one you set up and now we're told we have to use the one you set up so is there a way for you to get all the stuff I deleted back on my site?"
I use different prompt colors. Warm colors (Red, Yellow, Magenta) for production systems. Cool colors (Blue, Green, Cyan) for dev boxen and workstations. Production systems also end in a two digit number, everything else in a 1 digit number, but that's not completely obvious.
The human eye doesn't work by seeing or not seeing a color... If you're color blind in some particular colors then you can't tell the difference between them.
The colors simply look the same.
Those two images should look more or very similar to someone with red-green color blindness.
There are quite a few different types of color blindness.. Red-Green accounts for something like 85% of people who are color blind; almost all of them are men.
@voretaq7 I suppose for really old systems where they used Red/Green.. But I haven't seen any of those in a long time. They're all Blue-Green and Amber or some other combination that most color blind people can see.
And if you've got a system that old, you can probably just assume it's failed/failing/going to fail.
I need to salvage-move database from one MySQL server to another by copying database files between the servers (copy the .frm, .myd, and .myi files from one database folder to another).

Rename the directory.
Trying to force Windows to play nice with a case-sensitive filesystem might be workable in a very narrow set of circumstances, but trying to get it to work correctly in all use cases is an exercise in futility.
Why would you want to have that as a file organization scheme,...
I'm almost tempted to turn on case sensitivity and fire up a WebDAV share with overlapping names to see if WebClient's actually capable. Maybe if I'm bored this weekend.
That's what I thought. I'm publishing both myself, just used a validator to check my changes and threw a: PermError SPF Permanent Error: Two or more type TXT spf records found.
Figured it was just a validator issue rather than my mistake, but good to know it's not just me. :)
I suppose anything that fails an SPF RR lookup will check for a TXT, still. I'm certainly following the RFC (4408 3.1.1) on publishing both, but I'm getting the same permerror from two validators.
Two 2GB sticks on the same memory channel must have too high a rank for that chip. And If I remember correctly, one of the three channels has different characteristics than the others... Where's Chop when you need him?
RAM has delay characteristic dependent on how much juice it draws and how many of each are installed. This dynamic is most easily expressed as a cludged number called Rank.
typically a 1GB stick = 1 Rank; though low voltage models have thrown a wrench in the works.
@Shads0 I recently got a macbook air and loved the thing. My fiancee has a white 2008 macbook and I got a mac mini from work for next to nothing for the desk that we share
The only PC that was left in the house was my gaming desktop but I haven't used it in over a year

So we caught some computers trying to download a ton of files from our webserver, and we stopped them before they got much (used iptables to drop their IPs). These were not web crawlers, but scripts that had been written to target a specific data set on our servers.

This is a "feature" that was rolled out in March (since modified in the UI).

Say you want to execute a series of commands on a bunch of Windows machines and your AV considers 'psexec' to be malware. What are you to do? Remote PowerShell can be used. What's more, it can be done in parallel. Say you've got to run a malware cleanup script on 1200 computer-lab machines RIGHT NOW, you can't just put it as a scheduled task in a GPO and wait for the GPOs to apply. $JobTracker=…
So, we've got apache, which is the second most popular tag on the site.
It's a superset of the versions of it - apache2, apache2.2, apache1.3; and apache2 is essentially a superset of 2.0, 2.2, and soon to be 2.4; certainly, most of the apache2 questions are referring to version 2.2 and not 2.0....
The apache tag seems to have risen from the dead and is attracting new questions - I think it may have gotten missed in the burnination requests from Apache tags - a bit of a mess? .
(Per the conversation on that thread, apache is better off split into apache1 , apache2, and possibly future vers...

@voretaq7 Someone invited me to a chat room.... Yahoo Postmasters are mad at them and they don't understand why... They're running a Free Webmail Service, but it might as well be an open relay.
@ChrisS "NOTICE: You have been assigned the PUNISHMENT TERMINAL by your local system administrator. You are currently restricted to a single 80x25 terminal window, displaying red (0xFF0000) text on a blue (0x0000FF) background. Punishment will continue until you develop some competence."
(seriously if you ever want to punish someone set their terminal defaults to that.)
I've been tearing apart an empty bag of sour patch kids for the last minute or two to try and get at the sugary stuff at the bottom without making a mess. Then, it hits me, I have scissors in my desk. That moment of satisfaction when I reached for the scissors and solved my problem immediately must be what the first gorilla felt when he shoved a stick into a tree to pull termites out for the first time.
I have a comment with 8 stars and just made my second consecutive m.so post that hasn't gotten downvoted into oblivion. Fuck it, I'm quitting my job and buying a lotto ticket. Today's the day!
Today, I came home to find a sock I previously used to whack off on my bed with googly eyes and a mouth drawn on it with a note that read "Because you can't find a real girl, I made your current one prettier, Love Mom." FML
I would strongly urge everyone that voted for gorillas to also vote for pauska jerking off into socks with eyes. I hereby yield all future votes to the delegate from New York.
@jscott well. I can say this: You know those guys got whatever the hell kind of freaky sex they wanted after doing THAT favor for their girlfriend. (Especially the ones in the RISTUPULOUS beanies)

I am working on the software for a machine that will automatically trim toenails, so that users can simply put their feet in it and run it instead of having to manually do it by biting them or using nail clippers.

For sure. I understand the votes-in-the-tag requirement, but really, what's with the version restriction? SO users making crap synonyms all over the place for nonsense versions apache7 for the badge, maybe?
That guy is insisting that data deduping for the OP's case would work on zfs. I'm thinking it's asking for trouble, multiple processes that big all hitting a data deduping filesystem?
Would it not be asking for trouble if the processes aren't aware of each other being shared like that?
Maybe not. I'm not accustomed to a filesystem that does that though.
Sounds like you need a filesystem with deduplication support.
If there are no native filesystems with dedup support, you could consider hosting your data via NFS and placing it on say, ZFS, so each new copy doesn't take up as much additional space.
ZFS dedup just watches duplicate blocks, and all new writes are copies - I haven't messed with their dedup stuff much, but my hunch is that it behaves about the same as their snapshot stuff, just tracking which blocks belong to which instance. Modified parts of one instance shouldn't step on others.
I.e., you have a 100 gig disk, ZFS, and you fill it with three VM's reporting to be 70 gig each but because of deduping it would look like you're storing 210 gig on a 100 gig disk?
Because if you're right about that, the processes see each file as a separate file, and the deduping is abstracted away.
So either the drive can overfill things until you make a massive change (update a VM, your storage goes sploof in my example) or the drive reports data as you're "virtually" storing it, negating the deduping benefit.
My only experience at all with deduping is Exchange's change in the way the mail whore works, so I didn't know about filesystem level. People act like ZFS is powered by unicorn farts.
Somehow, df now believes that the pool is 422GB instead of 134GB. Why is that? Well, rather than reporting the amount of available space by subtracting used from size, df now calculates its size dynamically as the sum of the space used plus the space available.
Ooh. And people worried about admins dicking themselves over by typing in the wrong ssh session. Can't imagine the wonderful issues ZFS will bring if it becomes popular.
