Fuckers, someone in our apartment block is moving out and they filled up every single rubbish bin for the entire complex the day after the bins were collected.
Even triple-bagging can't hold in the stink of a dirty nappy
I love the Windows 7/Vista start menu. Start Key > Type > Enter. The list doesn't even get a chance to populate before I've even hit enter. It's only the tiniest bit longer than shortcuts.
@WesleyDavid I thoguht the same thing, but then I figured it out
@WesleyDavid Nah I dont know about OpenNMS. That's how Zabbix works, but I can't really in good conscience recommend it until they fix some glaring omissions
1. SNMP Traps 2. Loading SNMP MIBs to extract OIDs (there are tools that can do this but they're clunky, you're best off creating them by hand 3. Decent bar charts
@WesleyDavid Its lack of SNMP traps is really really really frustrating. There ARE workarounds, but I find them clunky. I.E. setting up an external trapper that forwards the traps to Zabbix
Oh and it doesn't support discreet IPMI sensors, but I've been tracking that feature request and last week it got closed as "implemented" so hopefully it'll come out in the next version or two
@Joel I want that, and the ability to graph the same sensor from multiple hosts against eachother in a bar graph. I.E. % free disk space for all the servers in a group.
On the other "want" list is daily automated reports for that can be set up for C-levels, followed by niceties like descreet IPMI
This concerns a server that runs ESXi (v. 4.x or 5.x) installed on drives that are configured into a raid10 using an LSI 3ware 97050 raid controller.
I would like to know if there is a way to monitor the LSI 3ware series of controllers, in particular the 9750, through ESXi. And to hopefully also...
"Email is horribly broken. It’s a very unreliable system. It’s like putting a note in bottle and firing it from a catapult." <-- Yes, yes it is, as it was designed and implemented.
People have no appreciation for the distributed, ad-hock, and unregulated "development" of the Internet. I'm in f-ing awe ever day that things work as well as they do.
Yeah, well if someone would come up with a comprehensive list of SMTP status codes that we could 'standardize', then maybe we could start griping about non-compliance. But until we even have a proposal, it's hard to complain.
I completely agree. We should have a set of status codes that can sufficiently describe all common failure modes. There should be a standard set of headers for NDRs that indicate the problems. Mail clients can then pickup those headers and make good suggestions and "friendly" error messages.
@MarkHenderson Lots of NDRs have assine codes. Exchange is probably most guilty. I know the NDR for "file too big" for instance, was just the number code, no text at all.
@MarkHenderson It took 30 years to get where we are... change doesn't happen overnight.
Apparently it still use X.509 addressing for everything, and translates them into SMTP addresses where required
Which causes major headaches when it refuses to recognise valid SMTP addresses and you get a single, useless NDR stating "The email could not be sent to the recipent" - that's it. No error codes, nothing.
Exchange Web Services is pretty useful too for 3rd party integration, but it doesn't return nice error codes. The second it runs into an error (such as an invalid SMTP recipient) it just throws a .NET error
I'd much rather finish my request and then get a standardised response with any problems
I'm looking for a solution that can send massive mail in Windows.
I'm not spaming. My company want to send mail to our user.
I don't want to use third party smtp server(like google mail).
Because it'll ask captcha when sending several mail continuously.
Please suggest me some solution.
It's sad, but any Windows install needs to have a rather lengthy script to tune TCP/IP to suck less than the default configuration. And this isn't even my full list of tricks: serverfault.com/q/378722/9770
Except that the liklihood of offloading being supported is lower on virtual instances, so that's all the more reason to ensure that everything related to it is disbaled.
I'd correct that misspelling, but I like the sound of "disbaled"
Sounds... sinister.
"I'll remove all your hay!!" - "You beast!!" - "Muhahaha!"
Gahhhhhh Im just having one of those days where I can't even type my own password in properly
Sometimes I feel like writing it into notepad just to see why I keep making the same mistake 15 times in a row, but instead of typing it slowly I just type it faster and faster and hit the enter key harder each time
Maybe if I hit the enter key so hard it will let me in even though I started with my fingers off-by-one on the home row
@MarkHenderson Zenoss is out. The modules that I'd use are only for the enterprise edition. The enterprise edition is basically as expensive as OpenView, except it's a yearly fee
Pandora FMS is #1, followed by OpenNMS and Opsview.
I used to work at a firm where my US shift ended just as Asia came online with overlap between a Honolulu office and Europe. I couldn't keep track of days.
I know that one of the islands near the the international timeline had the line moved so that they were on the other side of it, because they found it very difficult to trade with their neighbours
How long until Microsoft update their date/time code making 30/Dec 2011 an invalid date for the samoa timezone, breaking someones poorly written date code
It's a time zone change on December 31st in Shanghai.
See this page for details of 1927 in Shanghai. Basically at midnight at the end of 1927, the clocks went back 5 minutes and 52 seconds. So "1927-12-31 23:54:08" actually happened twice, and it looks like Java is parsing it as the later possib...
Guests staying in Samoa's hotels this week will not be expected to pay for a day that does not exist, but employers must still pay staff for the Friday that never was.
what a weird scenario I got today when I woke up.. one of our terminal servers can't connect to Exchange.. the others work fine. They all sit on the same LAN.
By default, Express allows only Windows Authentication mode, so you should "enable remote connections":
http://www.linglom.com/2009/03/28/enable-remote-connection-on-sql-server-2008-express/
Also, telnet service should run on your VPS server for quering with telnet?
BTW, where from are you t...
I guess the terminal server just needs a reboot.. RPC endmapper getting stuck or whatever
windows can get weird with 30+ days of uptime and 40 terminal server users online every day :P
Sorry if my question is stupid. I'm quite new to mainframe world -- previously I played with Windows, touched some linux. Their versions are much simpler.
Now I'm to support IBM mainframe, but a bit confused on their OS/mainframe families.
In wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_IBM_mai...
i wonder they're not voiding their support on the z-Series by letting some moron dick around with it.
usually the 5 9s that IBM gives you with the z/OS/Series are only valid if you have a full-trained (by IBM and their partners) on-site team that operates that beast.
and a mainframe is not only a machine+OS but it's a whole style of operations with runbooks etc.
if that would be my bank/assurance company i'd fucking kill my contract with them knowing they're admitting people with 0 clue to their fucking mainframes.
"played with windows and touched some linux" <- destined to be a mainframe wizzard.
We are having 2 domain controllers.
One domain controller is Windows 2008 Sp2 and another one is Windows 2008 R2.
Is it possible to use the same username/Password to login from W2K8 Sp2 to W2K8 r2?
Is there any setting i need to enable in order to do that?
googleing for an issue with a printer I have the web interface open on a secondary screen with Google open on the primary. After a bit I think I'm getting somewhere but I realise the IP address of the printer isn't right - but then I realise I'm accessing somebody's printer that's been directly exposed to the internet and almost made it inaccessible.
We've had a bit of another interesting day here - we got another flurry of emails from the SANs last night, of which MSA2312fc Warning: DRIVE_DOWN was one of them. Thank god for HP's quick response with having stuff replaced - we're gonna have gone through two new power supplies and a hard disk by the end of the week.
I've always been a bit 'sniffy' about USB since day one, it isn't an ideal protocol for disk systems but it's fine for low-speed stuff - that said I bought a USB 3.0 2.5" 500GB backup disk for my alienware box and wow it's quick, 70MBps on sequential writes - which I think's pretty good
The original USB spec blew chunks for direct access media and the like. The 2.0 and 3.0 protocols have significantly changed USB from a transport bus for CPU polling to a controller-centric bus, especially the bulk DMA transfer abilities. It's humorous as it's all the same lessons IDE learned back in the day.
I recently finished reading a book called "Jacked" about the history of GTA and Rockstar - well worth a read to see where they came from, where they are now, and the cost of getting there.
Ok, call me lazy bastard. This works in WINDOWS XP:
netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=5900 name="VNC"
What's the equivalent in Windows 7 ?
The documentation is as clear an encrypted man page.
Thought I'll get some quick answers here ...
Thanks in advance.
So, I'm looking into MSSQL Server aliases for the first time here and everything says that they're completely configured on the SQL server. Am I missing some magic here, or shouldn't there also be a corresponding CNAME made for the alias?
Oh man, this poor bastard. He bought an external hard drive to back up his accounting data, installed the backup software and then didn't configure any backups.
Lucky you - here where I live that does not work, you put money on the table year 1. Anyhow...
You HAVE to account for inflation. THat is where the gain comes from. Not investment increase (value of item), but the rent goes higher, while your mortgage does not (you dont own more moeny in 3 year...
