@ewwhite I don't mind the paying, it's the ceaseless effing around with the terms that bothers me, honestly. Dunno if that's different for people who bought licenses, though.
@MichaelHampton Could be they stopped. A while back I noticed the EULA changing thrice in short order, and that really put me off.
And speaking of you, you have really boring dreams, even for a porcupine.
I could do this in my sleep, but explaining it is way too broad for a Server Fault Q&A. Please see the FAQ for guidance on what sorts of questions we can reasonably answer here. — Michael Hampton1 hour ago
Though... it's also a wiki, so that is legally meaningless. Who knows what the EULA said before then.
The EULA actually says: > The Community Edition may ONLY be used for educational, academic and other non-commercial purposes expressly excluding any commercial usage. Unfortunately the Wayback Machine doesn't seem to have a copy.

@gparent if not, as Shog said, reply to the team@ e-mail with the right netblocks or update the meta question if you prefer. If we start seeing blog spam from there again though, I'll have to close it back up. They were literally hammering the crap out of blogoverflow; there was over a hundred spam comments left on the blog from that netblock.
When you're doing bgp, and you want to have a netblock be redundant, do you advertise the prefix from both of your routers simultaneously to both upstream routers?
(Assuming your provider has given you two seperate subnets with two seperate ip's to use bgp upon)
@MichaelHampton Yeah, and it's a problem with an IDE, not even web server software on his local system. @Shog9 This is why a feedback loop is needed. 4 of the 5 votes came from users with under 10k rep on SO - they can't be expected to have any idea of what's on topic here, they're just clicking through /review for a badge.
I think I might try some troubleshooting before running off to SuperUser. Maybe I'll plug something into this weird slot I see. Anyone know where I can find a "BUS" cable?
My bad, USB. It must be a coin operated thing... I'll go get a dime.
OK, so I can't get wireless working at home because 1) ISP gave me a PoS "Arris" brand cable modem/router thing that links the wireless key to the router password 2) Cisco seems to expect that you'll have a male USB A to male USB A cable lying around 3) someone at work borrowed my male USB A to male USB A cable without telling me.
I'm having a real hard time deciding who I should be most pissed off at.
Screw it, I'm off to frag something on the PC. This internet thing's just a fad anyway.
It's Cisco. You have to use their freaking PoS wizard, which can't seem to figure out that I set me internal network to a 172.25 s'net, or that my work laptop isn't set to auto-join every unsecured network it can find.
That thing's going back to the store, if I can resist the urge to throw it in the pond.
Oh, and the first thing the wizard trying to do? Download updates. That's a nifty feature for something you have to set up to access your internet connection, you stupid wankers.
@MichaelHampton Maybe it was just me, or I'm confux0red, but didn't Linksys used to be... well, decent? (I certainly had less problems with it than Netgear or any other SOHO kit.)
@HopelessN00b Eh, they were average, I suppose. Then again average was about the best you could get at the consumer level, which is why people went off and wrote their own firmware in the first place.
I can hardly remember a time when the first thing I didn't do with a home router was replace its firmware, never having even attempted to use whatever the factory put on it.
@MichaelHampton Slightly? Try massively. At least you used to be able to get into a web UI and configure the damn thing. No more. This is either going into the pond tonight, or back to the store tomorrow.
@MichaelHampton No. Punch the ip into a browser, and all you get is a "ease of use" wizard that fucks it all up if you don't have default/expected luser-style configs.
And no DD-WRT compatibility. So, a burial at sea, or back from whence it came.
Meaning I gotta do some damned research and figure out which model to get that's both good and has or supports reasonable firmware. >:/
@MichaelHampton OK, Microcenter doesn't have any Buffalo routers... but that sounds like it might be worth waiting for. Tell me about this alcohol-enabling router. Namely where to buy it
And, fork MicroCenter. Every time I think of going there, the travel time plus the taxes they add on make it just not worth it, over waiting for a package from newegg.
(The nearest MicroCenter is an hour away, when there's no traffic...and when there's no traffic in Boston is the middle of the night...)
My Microcenter is about 5 minutes away from home, or 10 from work, so... it is convenient. Plus openbox specials and the like make it as cheap or cheaper than Newegg... so I go there a fair bit, especially for stuff I don't wanna wait for.
"What was the highest iops system you ever designed?" "200,000 iop distributed memcachd volume in volatile memory." "WOW, social media startup?" "Nope. Grepping through exim mailboxes."
Ended up grepping for the offending email address in the mail logs and then grepping through the mailboxes of all the accounts that received messages from that address
Had a really sweet 90-term regex that matches all the Postfix transactions that matched that address.
@HopelessN00b Oh, we know who it is. It's a matter of tracking down all the evidence.
So I got to use awk, sed, xargs, and for loops. Not bad really. Almost went and wrote it in Python, but they kept pestering me every 5 minutes wanting updates so I couldn't concentrate enough to use a real language.
Sure, but still... sending an email from *their* account doesn't strike these folks an an inherently easy way to get caught? I mean, I get that they don't understand the magical boxes that make the pretty colors, but they don't understand... I mean, how can you not get something that basic?
"This email came from you. We know, because, like every damned email you send, it has your name and account on it!!!"
@Adrian Oh, one of those. If you get to be there to present the evidence/secure IT assets/watch them get escorted out, bring a taser with you. For protection and/or entertainment.
@HopelessN00b Are you kidding? I haven't had that much fun in weeks. I been putzing around QA'ing Ubuntu 12.04 and its new application releases for months.
I don't get to spend more than a few days a month doing interesting things.
@HopelessN00b Anything to be doing real sysadmin work.
Half my job involves Googling for workaround for all the Unity/Gnome interface bugs.
I spent half a day 6 months ago writing a script that would loop through all the Firefox Registry files in the agency and set the home page to the intranet since it was decided that non-standard start pages wouldn't be allowed any longer.
@HopelessN00b I had roughly 4 hours max to come back with results. With the age of our equipment, it was a bit tight. Our mail server is on its 2nd deployment and it's about 5 years old now.
@JourneymanGeek Nope, the DE must be social-worker friendly, ie. complete computer neophytes.
We pay for crap, so we get the social workers who quit the state when the state went computerized and they can't afford to not work anymore, so they end up with us.
@HopelessN00b I worked there about 10 years ago too. So quite a few of my friends are still there. Makes it tougher to walk away and leave them hanging.
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, but then I'd have to spend another 6 months warming the boss up to the idea of a completely new DE that he's never heard of and put up with him flip-flopping 8-9 times before he resigns himself to it.
@JourneymanGeek Yes, but it's always been a problem with that boss. He's so far in over his head that I don't know if he knows what he doesn't know, and he's terribly afraid of losing face over the slightest thing.
I'm with a small company that plans to sell a rack mounted network appliance which is configurable via a web interface (think of a router configuration page sort of deal), and I'm wondering in large data center like environments what the process usually is for the initial setup of such systems.

I had a room mate that put a livecd in my desktop and looked around on my machine. I caught him in the act and threw him out.

@WesleyDavid It's pretty much Python practice. And some RHEL studying when I get bored. My RHEL book is still buried in my storage unit, so it's online studying at the moment.
@Adrian Right, that's the one I have. I've got the PDFs of it off the official CD, so since you already own it, I can send it to you in good conscience. =)
And yes, I'm in the kickstarter section trying to figure out what the test wants me to know about it, and I find myself weighing the relative disadvantages to shoving a pencil in my eye.
Yeah. I need to mess with kickstarter more too. I was almost ready to start digging into that when the boss did his most recent flip-flop and decided to scrap everything and go Windows.
@MichaelHampton Ugh, that sucks. I was hoping someone had gotten off their ass and done something that would allow me to unlock the system drive with keyfiles or the like.
Oh, and one more piece of advice: CHEAT. When you install a Red Hat box, it leaves you a nice file /root/anaconda-ks.cfg which is a valid kickstart file representing the installation you just completed.
@HopelessN00b There's actually some half-finished code for it, but we lost interest. (Yes, I was actually involved in this...)
If I can ever be bothered to pick it up again, maybe I'll finish it off (and it'll get picked up for EL7)...
@MichaelHampton What on Earth made you lose interest? Seems like a piece of code you could either make the world a better place with and/or make a nice little sum off of.
@MichaelHampton Oh, well, that would do it. Hell, that makes me wonder what's so hard about it... wonder if I could do something like that for TrueCrypt. Or why someone else hasn't already. Time to go bug them about that, I guess...
@Adrian I'm not a night-shift guy, I'm just unfire-able and everyone knows it. So, not being a morning person, I roll into work whenever I feel like it. Usually within reason.
@HopelessN00b Heh. Yeah, my boss can't make a decision to save his life, but he's death on tardiness.
@MichaelHampton Hmm. Going to save up some cash for a used workgroup server for dinking VMs for that. Need something around to test that stuff out on. Nothing I have now is newer than 2004.
@HopelessN00b Pretty much. Retroactively denied a work-from-home day once when there was 12" of snow on the ground. Claimed he never approved it, and carefully checked his email to ensure it wasn't in writing before claimed that too. he forgets that I see the mail logs.
My padawan randomly installs a boot password on some of our machines for some reason. I usually make him go fix it, which is actually probably rewarding him.
@WesleyDavid They've called it a "Release Candidate" since February 2011.... I'm not certain they'll ever hit a "Release" let alone "Production Stable".
Heh. I forgot to mention earlier that the boss tried to cajole me into giving up my dual monitor rig. How the F am I supposed to code halfway decent scripting when I have to flip back and forth between the expect input and output every minute or so when I'm hacking? Duh. That's what the other monitor's for.
Our company laptops are encrypted with Truecrypt and you have to use a USB key called a Yubikey to 'unlock' them.
The keys 'type in' a 32-character string/passcode when the sensor is pressed. Very simple to setup.
http://yubico.com/yubikey
@ChrisS Maybe you can answer, then... how do you set that up for Truecrypt? According to the page, which granted, is marketing shite, it generates a different key each time it's pressed (like the RSA keyfobs).
@JourneymanGeek I've got one... It's interesting, but I think they cut corners in the wrong places... I'd pay an extra buck to have all the connectors on one side, so it mounts nicely in a case.
Actually this cheap T-P-Link I got for $20 and stuck OpenWrt on is performing like a beast. Now. The factory firmware was crap, and DD-WRT was slow on it.
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, but an ounce of forethought on the engineer's part could have saved us a pound of farting around with finding something that works the way it should have from the start.
@WesleyDavid I don't remember the details, but I didn't think it was jacked up...
@WesleyDavid No iSER, which you probably don't care about. I'm not sure if they're using FreeBSD's target, which doesn't support multi-path, or if they use another... It's been too long since I looked at it in detail. Otherwise pretty well fully functional.
My goal is to allow people to upload and download large files through their web browser with a simple user interface and user password/account management. Yousendit offers a service like what I am looking for, but it does not make sense to use their service if I already have a web server.

@tombull89 I was in and out yesterday evening so I didn't follow it well but my understanding is that they will first of all fiddle with the wording on the close pop up meta.stackoverflow.com/a/152596/147520
Personally, I'd still like to see a "minimum rep on target site to migrate" thing, say 102 rep so that's enough to get the association bounty and some positive contribution. Don't have enough rep? Then move vote is converted to "off-topic".
Because I’m tired of forgetting how to set this option, I’m putting it here. In Vim, and I presume vi as well, if you want to search your document with case insensitivity, simply use the following command: :set ignorecase From then on you can search a document with no regard to case. /AllowUsers is the same search as /allowusers.
I'm complaining to the people who sold us their web filtering software about why they've classified dremel.com as dating and blogs about nail polish as hardcore porn.
and specifically about why those are representative of their product's performance, not strange outliers.
