@MichaelHampton Lovely. Morons. I really hate all those schmucks running around trying to make a bunch of cash by doing web-hosting out of their mom's basement.
My general rule for shared web hosting is, if they're using cPanel, they probably suck. Most of the top web hosting providers designed their own control panel in-house.
@MichaelHampton I'm starting to wonder if we're seeing a rash of sock puppets. Truly awful questions that are written poorly that have 1 upvote within their first hour.
@MichaelHampton There'd be a banner if there were. That 'centos 6.3 not booting becuz I haz the dumbs and ran yum remove ALL THE THINGS' question had an upvote within 1 hour.
I'm looking for a cloud software solution that:
Can run on both server and desktop machines;
Virtualizes hardware and has the option of exposing each real
machine to the cloud;
Allows a VM to be "locked" to a set of real hardware capabilities and stay there until moved (e.g. a user's "real" de...
Yesterday I accidentally removed the python package using "yum remove" on a CentOS server. After then I realized yum was dependant on python and I could no longer use yum. I think I need to reinstall python to fix the problem. How can I do this without using yum?
@white. I'm trying to solve the problem of losing data, HA VMs, downtime, and desktop availability while maintaining hardware control and scalability. — tudor58 secs ago
these words! They do not mean what you think they mean!
I have considered VDI. It's implementation means that you have to have very heavy server load. I think this is overkill when the user already has a PC on their desk that does what they want.
I would consider using a real PC, but it presents problems of fast recovery, and the machine has to be on to be "live". If the user wants to access their desktop offsite, then running from the "cloud" would make sense, but it doesn't make sense to run it from the cloud all the time as it reduces response time. It doesn't make sense to run it from the machine all the time since that costs energy. — tudor4 mins ago
Somebody might have, but you aren't very likely to find such a person here. We generally run server operating systems on servers. — Michael Hampton5 secs ago
I'd like to kickstart a couple dozen RHEL6/SL6 servers. However, some of these servers are different and I don't want to create a new ks.cfg file for each class of server.
Are there any products which can generate a Kickstart file dynamically on the fly, from a template?
For example, if I appen...
I hope last week was productive for you in your journey towards a Red Hat certification. To recap I posted every scrap of official information that I could find as well as some generously donated EX200 RHCSA study notes from a reader who was already days away from taking the EX200 RHCSA exam. Also this week I pulled the book “Hands-on Guide to the Red Hat® Exams: RHSCA™ and RHCE® Cert Gu…

@MichaelHampton any idea why WP might take a couple of seconds (or more) to respond to make an initial response and then send everything else nice and quick ?
In a Windows domain environment, if a user is unable to change their password (most likely because it doesn't conform to the password policy), is there a way to determine why exactly the password was rejected?
@MichaelHampton looks like it may have been a misconfigured cache - used the toggle all caching options at once and after turning off the CDN stuff it flys
For the Health and Human Services Affordale Health Care Act, it specifies using an Edge server for Risk Adjustment and Risk Reinsurance processing. Does anyone know which of the definitions offered under the answers to "What is an Edge Server?" applies to the HHS application?

I don't like this question. I'm tempted to say TL but I know there's a lot of people who are going to have to comply with this new law. (The US health care act that Obama signed.) The problem is I have no idea what she's talking about.
That, and I always get worried when lawmakers start using technical terms like "server".

There is a problem.
The server contains the certificate (.crt). And there are two different users. One is set in the browser certificate (.p12), which signed the server certificate. The user enters the folder example.com/a
A user who doesn't have a certificate enters example.com/b

@Iain Not sure if its just my experience but I really hate it when devs are all to quick to throw up their hands and start asking questions as opposed to researching stuff first.
One of the benefits SAs get is that they have to research problems by default, there usually aren't people who can answer them every time.

The first group of errors you posted indicate that you were trying to rpm install a 32-but version of git. This is a 64-bit system, though.
Did you run yum install git ? It should have resolved your dependency chain. Clean your yum cache with yum clean all.
If no, you will need to install the ...

@ewwhite In the newest question, some OpenVZ CentOS templates have (intentionally?) broken CentOS base repos. Putting them back together is either easy or impossible.
@ewwhite Because people are trying to install git, and not alpine or nano?
I just see too many teenage kids in their basement who think they can just install OpenVZ, solusVM and HostBill on a leased server somewhere and get rich. The service ends up being total crap.
@Iain meh, I just gotta go remember how to land a damn plane again and do the trained seal landings. Examiner said I was above average on everything else.
@Iain yeah hopefully it starts clicking again quickly. Figures I'd been getting good landings in for like a month and the day I need to do it for keeps I screw up
@MichaelHampton I wouldn't doubt it. Frequently craftier. Way too many of those ijits upstairs spent all their formative years swaddled in the Protective Yuppie Parent Cocoon.
Half of what most people do in Photoshop could be done in Windoze Paint. The other half in the GIMP. A lot of people who think they need Photoshop really don't.

@voretaq7 I'm even crabbier because the boss is out on vacation for two weeks and he allowed the other senior technical staff to take both Mondays off meaning I have to be here on time and alert instead of snuggling with the ladyfriend on her day off.
@voretaq7 Though I'm not sure the staff could tell the difference. They're mostly blinded by their perceived level of awesomeness.
What's the name of that fallacy where awful people think they're skilled, middling people think they're awful, and only the top 15-20% are have it about right?
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others...
