I just took over as the sole IT person for a small company, we have multiple sites all over the US, most of which connect back to our CoLo via VPN. Every site I've visited has used the same Smoothwall UTM-100 with the exception of one, which is running SmoothWall Express 3.0. I've gotten a hand...
@tombull89 oh that's an easier question - observe the cameras and learn their blind spots, then slink around the building dressed in dark clothes, hugging the walls and muttering to yourself.
@BartSilverstrim If I go down I'm taking the department of transportation with me!
@SmallClanger [insert joke about a hairball clogging my intertubes]
@voretaq7 Houston, TX just started putting those cameras in. People down there uses to take the light changing red to mean "if you're in a column of cars you don't actually have to stop". So the cameras of course were the solution.... Well now rear-ending accidents are up over 1000%. Sounds like a great solution.
Are the number of migration paths one-size-fits-all?
Server Fault is in a somewhat unique situation as far as sub-communities go (Super User may be in the same boat, but I rarely spend time there any more). Area51 has fractured our community into many smaller, but more highly specialized communi...
I'm glad in MI you can't get a ticket by camera. An officer has to witness the infraction and issue the ticket. We have cameras around for assigning blame after the fact and such, but you can't get a ticket.
we have that same law here. They get around it by recording low-light video & having an officer sitting on their fat(tening) ass at the precinct review it all and issue the citations.
(this was because we had a judge sue the county over a camera ticket, and win because no officer was involved in issuing the citation)
We have a single toll highway here in ON, CA that uses cameras for automated billing. I've discovered a blind spot - if you do a Perfectly Legal Lane Change right as you're going underneath the cameras such that you're straddling the line as you go under, they don't see you :)
@voretaq7 That doesn't count here... The officer can't use technology to witness an infraction. They can use tech to measure the infraction (radar guns, breathalizers, etc), but watching on camera live or after the fact doesn't cut it.
...because you expect the users to read, understand and obey the documentation? Wait no, that's insanity not idiocy...
@tombull89 just their offices. They can even be empty, though I'd take it as a personal favor if the people responsible for these traffic-causing cameras were left inside for the explosion.

btw I spent some time on a network that seemingly had dissabled ssh on their corporate network, would it be possible to circumvent the DPI if you encapsulate by doing DNS tunneling or tunneling it over ssl ?
I am trying to set up a server for converting a video stream, live. The input stream is in RTSP format, and the output should be RTMP (to use in a Flash application).
I've had a look at crtmp, which seems like a good solution; however, I can't figure out the right configuration by myself (the .l...
@voretaq7 I really like your Alt Option for @MDMarra 's Question. Maybe the list of "All" sites should be trimmed to "everything that's even remotely related", but it's the best idea on there right now.
So the 10k users would see a dialog that shows any sites that had already been voted for as a target, and then the box to select an arbitrary site. A 3k user would see a box that shows the default 2-3 choices, and any sites that had been suggested by 10k+ users.

@pauska I tossed my candidacy out there as a red herring. If I get elected as a mod, it proves the degeneracy of the site and that it should probably be burninated.
Honestly, after the mess I created with my post I didn't see any other choice but to nominate myself. Bitching about inactive mods and then not running for election would be kind of hypocritical.
@AdrianK Right, we're -7Arizona/UMT - but to make it easy, I always tell people half the year that "Just think of me as Denver time." and the other half "Think of me as LA time."
@Ward I'd be happier if they just left DST in place year-round. I vastly prefer later evenings. I wake up and go to work in the dark in the winter in Seattle anyway.
What would be an ideal time and timezone setup for multi-country servers? Especially considering one central IT team managing these servers.
Currently we have each server using a local timezone. e.g. servers in the Chinese datacenter are set with CST. Servers in our German datacenter are set to ...
The hell? If you type in a question, the SX engine suggests similar questions that may solve your question. Why can't a similar method be used to divine what stack the question should be migrated to?
@WesleyDavid I haven't really decided that. I am slightly interested because I want ALL the privileges, I am just not entirely sure that I want all the responsibilities.
On a Dial up Internet why is the speed is limited to 56K compared to a Broadband Internet which may carry 10 times as much as dial up through that same telephone line? Is it because the dial up is limited to 56K by ISP? Does ISP amplify the speed when you order broadband?
@Zoredache Listen, if I can presume to handle the responsibility, then certainly you can take it too. =P
Really I just want the power to determine what questions live and what questions die. I see so many from '09 that need to be officially closed so as to discourage future posts in a similar vein. Plus, I'm getting scared of the way @MarkHenderson is glaring at me in the evenings...
It's all relative. And you're probably closer than most of the people that live in Seattle.
Most everybody has the emotional stability of a 13yo around here.
It's not very often that I actually see material suitable for emailing to the Daily WTF software dev blog. But one of our old programmers built a script that was using the output of 'ps' to build a list of processes to kill. Except that she didn't know how to use awk and used 'cut' with the question mark as the delimiter. Her script ASSUMED that no processes would ever be using tty or pty to connect to the database, or else the daily database update (which takes 4 hours) would fail.
