@voretaq7 I take issue with your rule "If you do not understand it, do not touch it." That's the most fun right there!! My thought process usually goes "I do not understand this! MUST TOUCH!!!" However, the caveat is "...oh wait, it's in production. Drat." =)
I don't think ZFS support TRIM yet. I think I saw that as a feature of the next milestone of ZFS. They tend to release ZFS versions in bunches instead of individually.
Question for @Chopper3 if he's willing to answer it (or if anyone else has the answer handy.) Were there conversion differences between VMWare 4.x and 3.x that would prevent a VM from a 4.x machine running on a 3.x VMWare (ESXi) machine?
Just saw one of the newest cancer treatment theories involves taking a modified version of HIV and infecting the patient. HIV normally kills T-Cells (simplistically your immune system). The modified HIV would instead cause the T-Cells to act like their on steroids. Killing your immune system is relatively easy compared with selectively killing cancer cells....
Often while editing config files, I'll open one with vi and then when I go to save it realize that I didn't type
sudo vi filename
Is there any way to give vi sudo privileges to save the file? I seem to recall seeing something about this while looking up some stuff about vi a while ago, bu...
@TomOConnor no, the fix. But what such a useful nugget of admin goodness is doing on StackOverflow (festering pit where none should have root access!) is beyond me...
Do we have a placeholder question to send people to for webserver sizing questions? A dupe target? Something? I see so many questions about "I want my server to go from 10 queries a day to 4 million a second. What to buy?" that I thought we needed a definitive sizing/scaling post.
@WesleyDavid the definitive sizing/scaling post is "Nobody can answer that without intimate knowledge of your site design and back-end infrastructure. Please unzip your site and let us ogle it, or do your own damn capacity planning. Wanker."
Shouldn't be to hard to built a list of device IPS, each gets passed to snmpwalk or something to get a list of the interfaces and the associated IPs. Once you get that, just update requests via nsupdate...
Maybe I'll try to create a generic updated image loaded with a bunch of drivers for different hardware. May save a lot of time with this kind of stuff.
I have got Ubuntu 10.04 (XEN) VPS. I want to set up Django server. I use apt-get to install django packages, apache, apache-mpm-prefork. Before using this configuration I saw "It works!" title, when I use ip/domain to get access to the server. After using configuration I saw:

I ping my site on pingdom.com over here (http://tools.pingdom.com/ping/) and got result
invalid host name.
then i check my DNS HEALTH and got result as follow

Everything is fine

The name server failed to answer queries sent over TCP. This is probably due to th...
@womble That's one hundred-rep user to another, too. I read that three times looking for sarcasm, no idea. Maybe the "assuming you can reach a human by phone" part?
@womble Yeah, I think he misunderstood - not a native english speaker, maybe? I guess that could be misread as "assuming you know how to use a telephone"..?
You may want to look at changing the name server for your network (e.g. at the router). I see this issue regularly with the DNS servers of a certain ISP with a name that rhymes with Vindspream. ;-)
Long URLs are important. I've had some monitoring script spitting out emails with embedded google charts API images, and the things wouldn't work in Outlook because its URL char limit in embedded HTML is 512.
@ShaneMadden That's a relative term. Being employeed, gives one sense of purpose, but I think working 80 hours a week is kind of taking advantage of your employees. geez o_O
