hrm... I looked a rev, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want.
If I do sudo netcat -l -p 2000 -e /bin/cat and connect, everything I type is echoed back at me.
If I switch that to /usr/bin/rev, I don't see anything back.
Oh well, it doesn't matter much. I am just preparing to give some training to people on iptables, and i was going to spawn a whole bunch of netcat instances on various ports for people to connect to and nmap for testing their firewall.
Cute. Some local asshole insurance agent put a doorknob hangtag under my truck's wiper and the glue in the paper stuck to the glass. I've got glue and paper directly where I look through the glass now.
@jscott Yes, in fact. I left a message on his voicemail. He'd better call me back tomorrow, or I'll certainly be dropping in on his agency's grand opening on Saturday......
@ScottPack The problem with that is that I work for the agency that has the contract for crisis mental health services in this city. My co-workers would show up and ask say, "Adrian, what the fsck are you doing?"
@MarkHenderson I dunno, to be honest. Nearly 1/3 of the cops on the force here have < 3 years experience. Lot of them haven't grown out of their aggro early-20s phase yet and they really need to be paired up with experienced cops.
@JourneymanGeek Yeah. It's entirely possible that leafleting is a misdemeanor here under the littering ordinance. Should call in tomorrow and ask about that.
@MarkHenderson: our mailboxes lock so we don't get non official junkmail. Poor chaps take the lift up, and climb down 25 stories to deliver our junk. The fine art of loading junk mail into a mail box array with a chopstick is dying...
@MarkHenderson I've seen a few things concerning English cops, who have gun and knife wielding criminals to deal with as a routine, but themselves don't carry weapons. Those guys and gals are some of the most badass people. They can do ten times what an American cop does and without a firearm.
They also know how to use their mouths and diffuse situations quite nicely. Something that few Americans, least of all those with badges, know anything about.
We are trying to allow for a client to connect to our website. By default we are Denying all access except for those with the specified IPs we have configured to run, everything before has just been a single IP address. However now we must implement a range of IPs and rather than input thousands ...
Pistole, head of the TSA, said they're going to be trying some new tactics that involve watching for suspicious behavior and eye contact as they're grilled by congress for being incompetent, ineffective, and invasive.
Security experts, people who actually know security, have been advocating this for how many years?! And the TSA is acting like they invented this new idea.
And these are just OUR security experts. Isreal has actually been doing this for many years.
well, at least the insurance agent whose leaflet'ers vandalized my truck called me back. he's going to stop by in the morning with something to clean the windshield off.
@ScottPack My motorcycle club is having our annual goat roast this Saturday.
@Adrian Variety is the spice of life! And by "Variety" I mean "Is that man really wearing a kilt, dressed as santa while playing the bagpipes on a unicycle?"
Huh, clearly I'm a noob because I have no idea what all those devices are declared. NEvertheless, fdisk -l shows:

At the moment, I'm trying to get what is effectively a cut down version of our production OCS 2007 R2 environment working in a segregated lab. For a variety of different reasons, this initially consisted of a verbatim copy of our OCS 2007 R2 Active Directory forest - however for reasons of budget...
@Iain Downwards perhaps. There's a particular gust around a block of flats at the top of a hill on my route home that I swear will be the death of me one day.
I recently did a clean install of my home machine and I am having a weird graphical error where if I move one window across the top of another it leaves a trail. Here's an image: http://i.imgur.com/Z9Li3.png

@BartDeVos Do you know of any Belgian ISP's that aggressively cache web page requests? We've got a weird problem from a client - but their IT Dept says they don't cache it must be their ISP.
'Thankfully' the main client believes us over them, but its bloody annoying - she has to wait 15 minutes to see updates to her website. The rest of the world sees them immediately
If clearing cache or using a different browser doesn't immediately show the changes, I'd next suspect AV software or anti-malware doing something strange.
If it's on the whole network, it could be some oddball proxy internally. But is the web server internal too or external?
went to a dentist friend office last night; we're building a website together. beautiful office; leather chairs, everything solid oak. tile and solid surfaces. something like 4 or 5000 sq ft. all this money invested and i cant help but think - dude, you really couldn't spare 4ft x 4ft for a proper server room? power edge under the countertop in the break room, couldn't find the cable modem or wifi router to reset it (someone else did the work, not me).
even a half rack would hold a nice remote console, the power edge, a ups and can mount the modem / wifi to it.
@Mario I've noticed that same in a lot of law offices too.
I used to do SMB consulting for a firm that most clients were law offices and doctor's offices. Super nice places then a server jammed in the corner somewhere and wires hanging every where.
I have worked with Chernoff a few times on getting these ads fixed :) I just pulled a report for the impressions served over the last week- the open source ads served over 3000 impressions, so they're not broken, they just have a low Share of Voice (SOV). I will increase the SOV and ask that you ...
@BartDeVos there is quantcast code embedded on every SE page
I have headless Supermicro server with IPMI as my ESXi 5 but I would like to use serial console as default console for ESXi instead of accessing it via IPMI VGA console redirection. I have some problems with java with IPMI and I also prefer text ui :)
I tried to follow 'Redirect the Direct Conso...
I need to install the ffmpeg PHP extension on my localhost so I can test few of my scripts but I am having troubles figuring out how to do that.
I have WampServer 2.0 with PHP 5.2.9-2, my OS is Windows XP. Please somebody give me step by step instructions.
I have found some Windows builds here:...
I think you'll find the console ... underwhelming. It leads you to start feeling you're in a 'nix environment, so you start getting your hopes up - until the first time you try to mount a USB drive or try a "locate"
+1 Bart, def not something you want to get used to relying. vmWare's kinda gone back and forth too with what it supports - you never know when they'll strip some functionality out.
I'm relatively new to the comms room...but I starred Kyle's blog mention on bear luring because I found it both useful and interesting - am I doing this right :P
@SmallClanger that happened to us last year with Exchange. 2950 power edge was complaining of a failed hard drive. so went to replace it. turns out before the raid set could be rebuilt, a 2nd drive failed. down for 3 days :( that sucked.
@BartSilverstrim Yeah, agreed. I wasn't sure what his setup was, nor have I worked with Server 2 at all. Should have probably just kept quiet, but VMotion and converter were the first two things that came to mind
If you're running a hodgepodge of physical servers with local storage, no, you need to move the disk images manually for the most part, or use backup and restore as if they were physical servers to create the servers on the (new) server and take the old ones down. Or create a cluster.
@JohnK server 2 is very old. I'd not be surprised if there were problems with conversion/compatibility.
I covered the LinkedIn account problems a couple days ago, and since then, Last.FM and eHarmony have both had at least part of their passwordbase compromised. It is interesting to me when news stories like this "clump". The same thing happens across the board, regardless of the topic. As soon as a moderately sized earthquake [...]
