@MichaelHampton Again, people say that like it's a bad thing! If I were having a sexchange I would NOT want it to be done by an amateur - I would demand an expert sexchange!
@ScottPack So. Many. RoadRunner. References.
(though not nearly enough half-naked Ben Browder or Claudia Black in leather for my liking)
@voretaq7 "This guy did a pretty nice job (except his power and data cables are mixed)" why is that a bad thing? Would the current make that much of a difference?
@ScottPack I've never been cursed with such a configuration - usually we have a two-tower PDU on one side of the rack (or those ungodly mid-rack inline PDUs. HATES them.)
@HopelessN00b, I oops'd on your comment.... Care to repost it?
"@Malartre It's not anecdotal, really. As mentioned, NTFS file/folder compression is a tradeoff - disk space for CPU cycles (and a very minor memory use increase). That's about as specific and factual as is possible without doing benchmarking and running actual tests on your specific environment." on serverfault.com/questions/476527/…
The cable management question made me want to post a couple of pics of one of my remote office data centers I redid a few years back. Nothing fancy...just new rack equipment and clean up.
Server porn is really an arse/tits thing. Showing the back of the rack means you're an arse man - the before/after is a bit like shaving it and bleaching the arsehole, and bam, you're ready. But showing the front is like being a tits man, and it's pretty hard to fuck up a photo of tits.
no idea on fire code...that's up to the building/facilities people. cooling system works fine...cold air from the floor into the front, hot air in the back leading to the returns. Nice big Liebert keeps it 68F.
@pauska The fuck it is. The correct answer to "our file server crashed" isn't "here's a brand new machine, restore 12 TB from backups;" it's "here's a replacement [faulted component]."
@voretaq7 I had a problem with a Dell server the other day. Dell guy comes out, took the whole thing apart and eventually determined a faulty temperature probe. He replaced the logic board that the probe was attached to and put it all back together.
@MarkHenderson Would we? I've posted plenty of you're doing it wrong; do it the right way instead answers that got a bunch of upvotes. Pretty much what that is, just that there's no right way to add DAS to a MAc because they're not actual servers.
@HopelessN00b He didn't give an answer though. he just said "You're not using a locking interface, sucks to be you". He didn't offer any alternatives or the "right way"
If I saw that comment on SF, without actually offering a solution, it's a swift -1 and a comment
The valid answer would be "These don't have locking connectors. I would suggest spending a few hundred bucks buying a PC and breaking your EULA and installing OSX Server on that". And that would only just be borderline, perhaps just a comment
@MDMarra And? I market my scam pyramid scheme as a get-rich-quick opportunity. That doesn't actually make it one, nor does Apple's marketing make a Mac mini a server.
@MarkHenderson I'd say no on that too, and was about to mention a similar whitebox machine we have acting as a server that I wouldn't consider a true server either.
@MarkHenderson Or my Droid, for that matter. So, yippie, since there's no canonical definition, I'll start using my Droid to mangle some services to our iPads, and now it's a server. :/
I'm working on a simple network who consist in 4 ADSL connections managed by a ER5120 load balancer. The load balancer is connected to a switch who connects with the guys at the office.
Now, I'm going to install a computer between the load balancer and the switch. That computer runs Debian GNU/L...
@pauska Sometimes you want your enterprise support to be like what @MarkHenderson described -- "send me an engineer and get my machine working again because the hour it's going to take to reimage and deploy a replacement is simply UN-AC-CEPT-A-BLE"
@voretaq7 Well, my first thought was I'd really like a PGP-based auth where I sign login nonces with my private key, but I don't see that being very likely. Thus we're back to OpenID as at the next most likely thing that will never happen.
my big concern is the Sarah Palin syndrome where OpenID providers bend over backwards to make it easy for idiots who forget their passwords to get back in, handing over the password to a malicious individual and compromising a bunch of accounts instead of just one
So many things to say.
Why use forwarders for external DNS resolution? You're introducing a point of failure and introducing possibly wonky results from whatever forwarders you choose. Why rely on some external ISP to provide external DNS resolution for you? Use the root hint servers instead.
I...
@voretaq7 When I set someone up that's on Comcast Business Class, I use google first, then the ISP. At work we forward to Level 3, then Century Link, then Google as a last resort
lot saying you can temporarily disable right-click with your script BUT if done from server-end,then works fantastic! be it in any explorer chrome,mozilla etc.
its to protect users personal images.
say,the server is nginx.
thanks & please write clear coding.
@ewwhite You need a decent amount of systems, a decent amount of deployments, and a decent amount of configuration needs for it to be meaningful. Otherwise you spend just as much time managing puppet as you would have managing your nodes.
@JoelESalas I don't need too. My systems are low touch, low maintenance. So implementing puppet or chef or whatever is just brain-overhead until I have more systems and more configuration management needs.
Cable management arms. Simple as that.
Is open ID secure, for example can you use it to log into bank accounts?
