My VPS image (Debian 6) comes pre-installed with sendmail as the MTA. I will use this server as a web server, and maybe other usages but not as a mail server. I want to remove as many unneeded services as possible to save resources. Can the MTA be safely removed? What are the consequences?
I have several devices on my network (PC's (wired), laptops (wifi), iPod (wifi), Wii (wifi)) including a web server (Just a normal PC with Ubuntu Server installed) using a wired connection. All devices are successfully assigned an IP from the DHCP server (DHCP is on the router). I used to be able...
@ewwhite Yo, you still looking around for work or you happy where you are? I got a guy with a position in SanFrancisco for a Puppet install base and training other people there how to use it.
I have downloaded the Apache HTTP Server 2.4 from Here and after extracting the zip file i can see a couple of folders but I could not figure out how to start / install server.
I want to install server standalone i.e. without PHP / MySQL. This s because I have already MySQL installed and I don't...
my actual problem is trying to debug a init script to start Resque. It works fine run as root from the command line, but does nothing on boot. It has some proper insserv headers and I've run updaterc.d to create the symlinks, and checked that they exist. The script is +x.
# find /etc/rc*.d -name...
I ran out of fingers counting the design flaws in that script before I ever got to start(). There's approximately one per line, not counting comments... That stuff is meant to be in /etc/defaults/$PROGRAM
I'm sad that it's only 5 episodes long... They obviously have the talent to pull off some awesome stuff. Wish they had done at least a dozen to sixteen... Make it a "season" in the more traditional TV sense.
@MichaelHampton I kind of wonder if the reason the review queue got capped was because of us and rnxrx. Can't have all those SO questions getting closed. Gives the flagship site a bad name.
@Adrian I worked on the 286-specific part of the kernel - there was always a major bug in the 286 that had to be worked around, the 386 didn't have it - so I worked on that, in Boca Raton
@MichaelHampton it could enter protected mode but couldn't switch out of it, you had to basically save all the register data in a known location then reboot into real mode knowing that the initial boot code would pick up the register data, reapply it and carry on - so it would essentially reboot a few hundred times a second on a 286
@MichaelHampton I started in CP/M land, then did some IBM mainframe stuff, then OS/2 and Xenix (remember that?) and eventually onto more mainstream stuff
From the questions on meta.SO (example), there are clearly problems with the /Review system and things are being changed all the time.
This answers says it's now 20 reviews per user per queue per day. I thought there was another question about close votes, but I can't find it now.
When they up...
You can follow some of the angst on meta.SO by looking at the Review tag...
So, Zynga laid off a chunk of it's workforce yesterday, hoping the news would be buried under Windows 8 and iPad mini news. No such luck and a lot of sites picked up on it.
As bad as people loosing their jobs are, I have no love for Zynga - I don't know how they managed to spend masses of money on OMGPOP (Creators of Draw Something) becuase it was obvious it was a fad and was going to fade out after a couple of months.
@tombull89 THat's pretty much - in fact, in a way I got excited because I thought "Well, if I can find someone else with this they must have an answer" :D
I guess they're having problems with their edge server(s) then
it tunnels SIP through TLS over HTTPS
or something funny like that
the only time I've encountered problems with our Lync deployment is when I send out a netmeeting to someone who also has a Lync server deployed (with edge services), but use a incorrect certificate - like a wildcard cert - at the edge
so instead of trying to establish a netmeeting it tries to federate, which then horribly fails because of the cert
You'd think Cisco would get networking products right too but look at how much their line of home products sucks donkey dick in the high street every day at noon.
That's very shabby of them though, being serious for a moment. 3com was always a bit dodgy and its a shame to see HP making them into their sewer instead of sorting it out
access point: POWER • 48 V DC 802.3af power over Ethernet
switch: provides up to 15.4 W per port to IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras (see product specifications for total PoE power available)
Systemic sexism is sneaky: you don't always recognize it when you see it, and unless you've had cause to be sensitized by it, you may not recognize when you see it until much after the fact. I had a moment...
SE account related question, not sure if anyone knows or not: I'm deleting my Google Apps account which has my primary e-mail (its moving elsewhere) however thats the e-mail address I use for OpenID logins via Google for SE, if I delete the GA account and then re-create a plain Google account will it break the link to SE?
I can post to Meta if that's better, just not sure
"Accelerate and protect SSL traffic by leveraging $CDN's proprietary SSL termination software, and the thousands of servers in $CDN's global cloud network."
and of course if its client machines on a heavily subnetted LAN that someone set up and planned for one type of expansion and which is now being expanded in a different way, its not just switch ports... its capacity in DHCP scopes, etc. too.
@ColdT Nah, it's entertainment and job security. Run your servers on Windows7, and the SA staff will never have to worry about running out of problems to fix.
