@WesleyDavid spam the channel with questions!
I guess you can say something offensive and we can flag it to give you a half hour ban. Or you can have some discipline. :)
@ShaneMadden Gentoo is awesome.
yeah, calling the OSI Model gay is a big no-no
@WesleyDavid Oh! You do have a soul after all.
@Olipro Even if true.
04:00
@WesleyDavid That got me right in the feels
"You cannot flag your own messages" Totally bogus.
@WesleyDavid Someone flagged it. I marked it as valid.
Shit, I'm still here.
=(
@Jacob Fuck, that was YOU who just rang???
Aww, someone declined it.
04:01
@ryanRies can you go kick some network techs for me?
GENTOO IS AWESOME!!!
4
@WesleyDavid +1
@ShaneMadden This isn't The Bridge. Our flags are actually meaningful.
..and @LoganM is confused. Sorry, we're trying to get @WesleyDavid to exercise, apparently.
bahaha
04:02
Yes it was turn my ONT on please?
thanks @WesleyDavid !
ALL YOU PEOPLE SUCK I'M LEAVING.
glad you agree bro
deftly pieces bits of fiber optic wires back together
@WesleyDavid you should be in jail.
04:02
RAGEQUIT in 5... 4... 3...
Aaaaand still not banned.
@WesleyDavid highlight all the things!
You all have some serious performance anxiety issues.
@WesleyDavid What are you still doing here?
Treadmill!
Okay, one more time, Larry Ellison is a saint. Do you hear me? A SAINT!!
Larry Ellison is a better person than all of you combined!
04:04
emerge --oneshot banhammer
Well you've all disappointed me. I hope you're happy.
now you know how your wife feels.
@Olipro She's not disappointed, what do you think I keep the gardener on retainer for?
GAHHH I want to flag my own messages this is the worst feature EVAR
pfft, outsourcing!
Wait ... who's spamming whom? (notice the impeccable grammar there)
Also stop marking shit as spam. I don't want to hear it. This is the discussion channel. No one is being offensive here.
@RyanRies I find your overbearing tone regarding offensive messages offensive.
Except you. I'm being very offensive to you.
Overbearing, in fact!
@RyanRies Wesley was trying to get banned so he'd go run on the treadmill.
@WesleyDavid Go run some laps, fatty!
04:08
@RyanRies I'll bet you're really a Yankee.
@ScottPack Born and raised in Texas, honestly
Surreee.
Also a fatty
Although I did go and play some racquetball yesterday, after a month off, and now every muscle in my body is sore. :(
don't worry, one day you'll be manly enough to play Squash instead
No, seriously, racquetball is the real sport, and anything that is sort of like it, is just imitation.
The only thing approaching anything else that needs to be taken seriously is tennis
But racquetball is the pinnacle
whistles innocently
I guess it depends if you have a thing for large bouncy balls
I've personally pulled off some seriously Neo in the Matrix moves whilst playing racquetball, and I know that I ain't shit.
Squash is the same, except you also have to give the ball a good belt
04:20
So I know that I'm nothing, yet I also know that you can do amazing things in racquetball, ergo I know it's a great game
well, unless your opponent is at the far end, then it's light touch for the smackdown
@RyanRies your network team sucks BTW
I fixed it by myself
@Jacob I will let them know
@Jacob that would imply, unless you hacked something, that you didn't actually need them to fix anything on their end at all ;)
@FalconMomot The battery in the BBU was dead, so the ONT died when the battery died.( It pulls power from the battery not the AC adaptor, so we had another when we had 2 services, so I swapped batteries and BOOM fixed.
@RyanRies Oh and because my phone was going in and out, why are you jealous of me?
04:42
@Jacob Seriously? You're going to go throwing around phrases like that about a service you know virtually nothing about? Do you really know how real life works Jacob? You have a lot to learn about life and the way the real world works. You talk a lot of talk for someone who isn't even out of highschool yet.
@MarkHenderson Whoa, it was kinda a half joke
I mean in hindsight, I really shouldn't have complained to him, but I wasn't trying to insult him. He doesn't even work in that department
You are right though... @RyanRies Sorry to Bitch to you for something that you have no control over.
drops the Monty Python foot on this line of conversation
And now for something completely different...

blah
Washed out my mousepad. Feels feel without it :/
I got a laser mouse, I no longer use a mouse pad
04:56
I have a laser mouse and a glass table.
not that I have a choice, it's a laser mouse
Laser mice are the best, the wheel was just never responsive enough
My mouse dosen't need the pad, I do ;p
@JourneymanGeek huh?
Mouse pad's more about the additional height and the texture than anything else for me. Haven't needed one in years, still use one.
04:57
a little carpal tunnel sydrome never hurt anyone... wait, what?
from a mousepad?
@Jacob: I have a fairly large pad that also helps cushion my wrists a little
and texture, of course
@JourneymanGeek Oh, that makes sense
I find that things which are not mousepads (or those horrid hard plastic mousepads) grate up my hands over time
@FalconMomot: I got a soft fabric one
04:59
exactly
I am currently using a gaming mat from razer
actually, its one of those things I basically insisted on doing
wow, this is what we've come to, discussing mousemats >_>
the goliantus?
@Olipro: this is not bloody live support ;p
@FalconMomot: my first 'new' mousepad
MY MOUSE IS BROKEN, PLZ HALP
@Olipro switching conversations after a bomb is always difficult
05:00
oh shit, now you've got the NSA interested, way to go @Jacob
I'm using a steel series QCK
@Jacob Hmm, I wonder how that happened.
@Olipro I always screw things up
unrelatedly: longcat is long
the men in the black helicopters will be there shortly
05:00
steelseries.com/products/surfaces/steelseries-qck I use one of these, one of the slightly oversized models
@FalconMomot I know, I'm working on that now
I wonder how long minecraft longcat will be on the current screen for.
turn it into a mousemat
nah. it's hauntingly awful.
like... it's hideous
05:04
@FalconMomot not
long
that
fail and lose
of

good god bro, stop spamming :P
not
that

a
long
cat
ca c'est pathetique.
zut alors
Tabarnouche!
05:06
c'est n'est past un chat.
c'est longue chat.
aujourd'hui est le francais jour?
oui, c'est.
non, oui est un petit pois.
c'est pas possible!
(aka, I've run out of french)
05:08
nous allons continuons a parler Francais!
avec le Google Translate!
frappez le bouche du Geek
une bonne phoque en anglais est le good phoque
mon Francais est terrible pour une Franco-Canadienne
it's funny if you get a french person to say it
05:10
yup
Bikers -------> imgur.com/a/HeST2
I've remembered more French than I thought I knew

Q: Misplaced navigation bar and question title

Michael HamptonIt appears that on Server Fault and Super User, the navigation bar and question title have suddenly become misplaced. The same does not occur on SO and mSO, nor on any of the other SE sites I spot-checked. This is being seen in both Chrome and Firefox and just began occurring within the last few...

@ChrisS wow
@MichaelHampton indeed.
05:16
@FalconMomot You watch stargate?
@MichaelHampton Going on ~150 minutes of DevOps FAIL?
@Jacob not since I was a kid.
@ChrisS Yeah, I didn't expect it to last quite this long.
@FalconMomot wrong show sorry
luckily the same answer still applies.
05:17
@MichaelHampton The powers that be are asleep
@FalconMomot Teal'c The world is ABOUT TO EXPLODE!?! Indeed.
@Jacob those who break prod and go to bed are those who do not awake the next day.
@FalconMomot I blew up a password database once and passed out. That was a really bad phone call :(
in a perfect world, anyway, they would get murdered in their sleep by ops ninjas
@Jacob that was unwise.
@FalconMomot Yes, but it happened
well, it is lucky that you are still with us ;)
be careful ;)
05:19
@MarkHenderson If you would check your email when you get a minute please.
damn, The Register is slow off the mark
as ever.
they should change the domain to ofn.com
ew, r6816
looks like Sony took FreeBSD from the Git repo and dumped it into subversion
not that it really matters, the code will never see the light of day, unless someone steals or leaks it
@Olipro how do you know that
what? that it's subversion?
@Olipro Yes
well, technically, I don't, they could just be using "r6816" as a tag within git
but only masochists do that
05:31
If the battlefield 4 alpha is leaked I've got the gear to play it... Awesome
05:44
06:41
G'day
Mick Aston :(
@Iain He had quite a career
06:55
Morning
Morning
how's you today @JennyD
@RobM I'm OK. On my last week at work now, having very mixed feelings about it.
How're you @RobM
07:11
I'm good thanks, it's a nice day here for once and that makes it a bit easier to get the day going I find.
I think you said before you'll miss the people at this job :-(
@RobM Yeah, most of them. Even the boss that I've been complaining about; he's a really nice guy, and I like him a lot more as a friend than as a boss.
I can understand that, similar thing here in fact.
But I'll keep in touch with the people I like. Already got a few lunch dates set up, making sure to have people on facebook and LinkedIn, and so on
Yeah that's the idea, keeping in touch with the people you want to is easier these days with all that
@RobM The problem with having a really nice person that wants to get along with everybody as a boss is that as a boss you sometimes need to handle being in conflict with people...
07:14
yeah, true enough
@RobM It really is. I have a very dear friend who's really ill, and won't be getting better in the foreseeable future. She can't speak on the phone much. Facebook etc have really improved her quality of life!
07:29
That's good - FB makes it a lot easier to keep in touch with friends and family for me, nothing like as serious as keeping up with a friend who's ill, but still.
> You have reached the maximum of 30 Deletion votes per day; come back in 16 hours
:( so much shit to delete too
There always is here @Iain
The wonky site header and question title makes things look weird.
@tombull89 blame devops
morning
07:41
hi
morning tom, faker, iain
what the gap? the layout of SF looks weird
@faker it is
there's a question about it on Meta
@faker HAAAAAX!
Dan
Dan
@JennyD I'm really happy how much I see the people from my old work - like you, it was a big concern. I went for a drink with one of them last week and we realised that we met 8 years ago!

Q: renamed home partition volume in osx with diskutil and now cannot login

erewokIt's been a long day and I am pretty tired and that's the only reason I can figure that I thought I would rename one of the volumes on this old macbook (running osx 10.6) without worrying about anything else. Actually, it's the /home partition and I inherited the computer from my wife and it's a...

bwahahaha!
@Dan I've got on my todo list to mail the people I want to stay in touch with my personal email
Dan
Dan
08:15
@JennyD Good stuff!
08:29
renaming the /home partition stops users from logging into a *nix box. Who knew?
that sounds useful. By which I mean WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS?
Mornin' guys
What's up with the question titles?
Dan
Dan
Broken CSS there
@MathiasR.Jessen it's already up in meta.
08:39
@MathiasR.Jessen DevOpsâ„¢®
@JennyD Ahh, I see, found Shanes post at mSO. @DennisKaarsemaker Indeed

Q: Bind: dns not 'spreaded'

realteboI've elfoip.net with bind $ whois elfoip.net | grep 'Name Server' Name Server: NS.ELFOIP.NET I need elfoip.net be able to serve third levels domain, like mickymouse.elfoip.net, etc... Yes, I'm trying to create an other useless dyndns clone. i've added some third level as A RR. Eg: executi...

Anyone help this guy?
@Dan I decided not to get involved. My helpful comment was going to be - if you can't figure this out then perhaps trying to setup a DynDNS clone isn't for you
Dan
Dan
@Iain Probably - I just don't know BIND
@Dan I'm not even finding NS records for his elfoip.net when I query the .net root servers
Dan
Dan
@Iain Ah, me either but I thought it was me. Whois reports it's ns.elfoip.net and that does resolve
BUt yeah, somethings fucked there
Year 11 leavers' assembly today - ton of students in fancy dress
Dan
Dan
09:06
My school banned anything marginally fun involving leaving
But they were cunts.
(Sometimes I think it's quite ironic that I'm entrenched in education because I'm mostly not a fan of how schools and their staff conduct themselves)
@Dan Same, really.
Dan
Dan
I think they have a major issue with a hugely inflated sense of worth and importance
Our year's leaving do was the first one to be done off-site (at a local golf course) because the previous years' wrecked the school hall.
@Dan education is good - teachers should be paid more
@Dan Also there's a lot of students that don't want to learn, you can't force them do.
@Iain good teachers should be paid more.
09:09
@tombull89 they they should be put in a big play room all day
Dan
Dan
@Iain The first I agree with, the second I'm unsure but I did support their strikes
@dan likewise, quite a few of my old teachers, who are now heads of various schools around here, look quite upset when they work out who the "expert" from the local college who's advising them is.
@RobM I didn't get the job at my school because my old head of 6th form put in a word (he wasn't a teacher, just a staff advisor)
Dan
Dan
@RobM The day I went back to consult at my old secondary was a nerve racking one. But, actually, it was a really fun project and the IT Coordinator (Who had briefly taught me, and had fallen out hugely with my younger brother) was a pleasure to work with
@Dan It doesn't respond to any DNS queries, which kind of defeats the purpose of a name server...
Dan
Dan
09:11
@JennyD Yeah, hence why I asked him if it's definitely his DNS IP. Then I kind of got bored
@Iain In the three school's I've worked in theres the staff that stay late, try hard and are liked by the students. Then you've got the others who are just in it for the holidays and do the bare minimum to get through and somehow managed to stay employed even though their supervised OFSTED lesson was awful.
@tombull89 I have several friends who are teachers and quite frankly they don't get paid anywhere near enough for the shit they have to put up with.
Dan
Dan
@Iain See, this is where I struggle. I'm not so left wing as to believe there aren't some seriously hateful children (and parents) out there, so on one hand I'd gladly support more powers for the schools and staff. But, I've also seen the ways that these are massively abused by schools (especially the higher achieving ones) in order to massage figures and make their life easier
@Dan spare the rod spoil everything
Dan
Dan
It's not a job I could do, though
09:18
Nor me - I have no time for people who aren't interested
Interesting...MathOverflow has rejoined as a SE 2.0 site alongside Mathematics.SE.
Dan
Dan
@Iain To be fair, though, I was kind of that kid and for that I'm a little annoyed at myself. I sometimes wonder if there should be some kind of gap between primary and secondary education where you do [something else]
On the other hand, I loved college
09:44
eheh
I mostly hated school >_>. Ironically with one exception, I liked most of my teachers ;p

Q: Why is Iron Man/Tony Stark naming his suits as "Mark 1, Mark 2, Mark 3"?

ÞawIn the movie Iron Man, why is Iron Man naming his suits as "Mark 1, Mark 2, Mark 3" and so on. how did he came up with that Name?

Hehe, bless
@Dan wow
Dan
Dan
Just noticed he's from the Philippines, so perhaps it's a language barrier thing
Dad's going to see The Who (or the majority of them) at Cardiff tonight
@tombull89: they speak perfectly good english american there
10:55
@tombull89 my sister saw them last week, said it was ace
Is this a place for live support
@Ethan depends on what you need support with
@Ethan Yes, my rates are £90/hour. Plus Tea.
support in creating new punishments for lusers: yes. Other sysadmin duties as required: no.
Depends though.
11:03
what should I do with my life
@Ethan become a sysadmin. Punish lusers.
And drink scotch
Do a barrell roll!
sounds boring
Dan
Dan
@Ethan Don't become a sysadmin, you can recreate the experience by simply banging your head against a brick wall whenever you like
3
Male escort. Get money, fuck bitches.
11:04
lol, I don't get it, but for some reason the violence makes it funny
@Ethan congrats, you passed sysadmin 101
@Ethan Sometimes, our jobs can be a painful process. Telling someone not to do something, then watch them do excactly the same thing you just told them not to do. And if something breaks because of what they did, it's your fault.
@Ethan end it all
^ this kills the user
so, what should I do with my life
11:18
@Ethan What do you like doing?
I don't really know
...
15 mins ago, by tombull89
Male escort. Get money, fuck bitches.
@tombull89 what do you do on an average day
I do like being a sysadmin. I'd like it better if I could choose who to work with and what systems to run, but usually both those things are to a greater or lesser extent decided above my pay grade.
what does a sysadmin 'do'?
Dan
Dan
11:23
@Ethan Posts here, same as everyone else
why do you post here
But I think it's also good to try more than one kind of job. I believe that I'm better at my current job as a sysadmin partly because of the things I've learned as a checkout cashier, a forwarding agent, a translator, etc...
@Ethan It depends a bit on where you work, but basically it's "keep the computers running, stable and secure"
as usual the devil is in the details, obviously
How did you end up doing that, was that what you planned on doing for sometime?
@Ethan Not when I was young. I've always been interested in messing with computers, but 25 years ago it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is today, and I had no idea where to start... But I somehow always was the go-to person for computer problems wherever I worked. And then I found unix, and really really liked it, and learned enough to get a job at an ISP, and that was my first sysadmin job.
That was in the late 90s.
are you religous jenny?
11:26
Yes, but not Christian
Why do you live your life
Dan
Dan
Dude, you're being a little....forward. Why don't you start and tell us about yourself
You can ask me anything
@Ethan What else would I do with it?
@Ethan Does there have to be a point?
Dan
Dan
I think you're worrying too much
Do what makes you happy while trying to avoid making other people unhappy
11:30
why
Dan
Dan
Sorry, are you 12?
no
I am 17
:10050954 I don't think there's any point with my life specifically, i.e. there's no higher power having a purpose for me. That makes me free to make up my own mind about what is important in my life.
Whats do you mean by higher power
@Ethan I mean that I don't believe in a god who created me for a purpose.
11:35
Neither do I lol
So. If nobody created you for a purpose, then you yourself get to decide what is your purpose.
but this is a bit too deep philosophically for me to get much further when I really need to get some more work done...
alright conversation is getting boring anyway
gee, thanks
I don't understand
Dan
Dan
@Ethan It started boring, and reached a height of dullness. I recommend adding some context and input
11:39
why are you guys in this chat room
@Ethan If you're spending some time talking to one person and then say that the conversation is boring, it sounds a great deal like your saying that the other person is boring. Which isn't very polite, especially when it's a subject that you yourself started.
I don't mean your boring
Dan
Dan
How did you find this place?
@Ethan: why not?
you mean se in general? or this chat room?
Dan
Dan
11:43
If youd on't know, it's merely the chat section of ServerFault - a Stack Exchange site created for pro sys admins
We're here because we identify as pro sysadmins and come here to chat to likeminded people
Sometimes conversation is frantic, othertimes everyone's busy
I am very bored
@Ethan: get a hobby!
@Ethan can you go and be bored somwhere else please ?
2
whittle wood, build mansized rubber band airplanes...
@Iain why
Dan
Dan
11:45
@Ethan Because we're not here to entertain you
@Iain Seconded
I am sorry
@Ethan we're not child minders
anyway another one joins the list - 19 now :)
@Iain ignore list?
11:51
Iain are you mad at me

Q: Firewall: Hardware vs Firmware

FrancescoWhat is the main difference between hw and sw firemare ? using a BSD firewall distro (ex. pfsense) is a good choose as using an hw firewall (ex. a cisco one ) ? if not why ? So basically what is the best choose ?

Dan
Dan
@Iain That's everyone that comes here. Am I on it :(
kill
@Ethan I get up, I go to work, I do my job, I come home, I play computer games for a bit, and then I go to bed.
It's not particularly exciting but it does the job.
@Ethan Dude..seriously? You're 17 years old, getting ready to maybe graduate high school and you're coming into an IT professional chat asking what to do with your life? That's what parents and guidance counselors are for. Asking what you should do in IT is what we are here for. Asking someone wtf their purpose in life is?! You make me want to fuckin' cuss!
11:57
why
So you just click he ignore user everywhere and they go away?
Nice feature
And Gone
I think he has mommy and daddy issues
11:58
Want to know IT? I came in yesterday to a phone call where our dumbass receptionist is telling me her ef'in computer is ef'in typing on its own. This dumbass was watching an ef'in tutorial video on how to order toner cartridges and has done it THREE ef'in times and can't figure out why the ef they haven't come in yet! A god damn tutorial video! She can't figure out it's a god damn video!
why do I have to attach an email if I want to downvote a question
You...don't?
I do
11:59
probably on the watch list
it says 'thanks for the feed back'
On ServerFault? Likely because you don't have an account on it, only on Maths.SE
then it says get our news letter
somthing else somthing somthing
