By the way I just want to plug how awesome it is that the FreeBSD foundation demolished their year-end fund raising goal even though I totally didn't get to mail them a cheque before 12/31 because slacker.
@voretaq7 We buy these turnkey right-management racks from NAGRA called 'Elks' that are based on IBM blades split 60/40 between x86 and Power5, the guys there tell me they'd need a second rack if they HAD to use just x86 - which surprised me in this day and age
@Chopper3 There's some pretty awesome shit happening in the IBM Power Systems development group. Power6 had a bunch of major improvements in speed and power(TDP). Haven't looked much at Power7 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a nerdgasm
@tylerl Tell him dolphin-safe databases suck. Kill the dolphins, but dammit protect my data!
@JoelESalas His daughter is named Maria. And another daughter named My, and a son named Max. All 3 of which showed up in names names of things he built.
@voretaq7 Two of the last three viruses I've had to deal with came in via Java... This reminds me of when Flash had a rash of vulnerabilities a while back.
@jscott Yeah, like Zoredache said. I also wrote that Q&A because there was a user [eventually, a bunch of comments later] asking how to do it for his VPS from Mac OSX.
@voretaq7 Both HuperTransport and QuickPath allow for very large number of chips to be on a single Shared Memory bus if glue logic is provided by the interconnecting chips... I remember Cray making a chip for HT; others may exist as well.
Using a solution to another answer, I added the following to my apache config:
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/passphrase-script
And in that script, I placed this:
#!/bin/sh
echo "put the passphrase here"
Now, when I restart apache, i get the following error:
Invalid command 'echo', perh...
@BrentPabst I don't know who TWC is but if they're anything like Australian ISPs and they count both uploads and downloads in their quota then it blows hard
@HopelessN00b I got it bumped up to I think 400 now. I hardly use that, but just this one time I had to download a ton of client backups to a QNAP on my home network because my cabinet wasn't set up yet.
@WesleyDavid Yeah, a few years ago I was doing anywhere from 400GB-1TB a month, after a few months of that they "encouraged" me to switch to business class service, which has been much better, for the most part.
@WesleyDavid Yeah, a couple of years ago somebody ran into a telephone pole a block away, and the cable went out. Called up Comcast and they sent somebody right out, had it back up in 90 minutes.
@MichaelHampton Yeah, that happened a lot when I first moved in this neighborhood. 70s houses with the wiring to prove it. Cable all over the flat roof, baking in 120F sun. NO THAT CAN'T BE A PROBLEM.
Gah, can't find it. There's a colocation space here in town that has a picture on their website that looks like they host equipment in a gimp lair. I expect the saw puppet to start riding his tricycle out from between the two-post racks.
I'm too tired to scroll up, but I saw something about SQL licensing rules. Just ask me, I've been debating it with our gold microsoft partner for several weeks. I know just about everything there is to know..
@Patrick You'll end up doing this: 1. Set it to simple logging (risk factor involved), 2. set the "size" of the file (as close to zero as possible) 3. repeat 2 until the log file is the desired size 4. Figure out why the fuck it's growing so much 5. Oh shit, you're not taking T-log backups 6. Why aren't we taking t-log backups
@JoelESalas i don't know much about SQL, the other day my boss gave me this server to manage, and when i went to him about the lack of space, that is what he told me to do. but i will definitely try and take a closer look then.
@Patrick And knowing the progression @JoelESalas described what you can do is (a) determine if you're not taking transaction log backups, and then (b) Run a proper backup so the log gets truncated. :-)
We had somebody misunderstand the units (I can't remember if it was GB, MB, or KB) and ended up with a 100gb starting size for our transaction log along with a 1tb limit on a 10gb database. It was good times.
@Patrick if you're doing backups and the log keeps growing you're not doing the backups "properly" in SQL Server land so it knows it can roll the transaction log.
I started with one server running Apache, PHP, MySQL. Now I have split off my web server so I am running all the PHP files on one server and my MySQL is still on the original server. Are there services / programs that I can turn off or uninstall from the MySQL Server now?
I am using Amazon AWS a...
@ewwhite you stare at your vendor, stomp your feet and shout BROKEN! then point at the server :-)
If they try to BS you you pull out the Kaylee - stare at the RAM modules, puff out your lower lip in a pout, and tell them "Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed."
@JoelESalas yeah, i have the full backup which is a Backup Type Full, and the Transaction log backup which is a Backup Type Full as well. that sounds like my problem.
I use dovecot IMAP server and want to delete big unneeded mails:
cd /var/spool/foouser; du -a | sort -rn > /var/tmp/du-mail-foouser.log
Now I see big mails at the top and after looking at them I want to remove them.
Is it safe to just call
"rm ./foofolder/1318412893.M857530P4656.hz1,W=14...
Since i'm shutting down the SQL server in 30 minutes, for a couple hours. should i hold off on making the change to the transaction log backups until afterwards?
