"With these options, it opens tcp/1154 and waits for commands from the remote site. It also encrypts the connections between the victim machine and the remote system with the key "pogo"."
Major screw-up here and I need to find out how much trouble I am in.
I have an AD machine that is running Server 2008 R2, hyperv, DHCP and DNS. On the hyperv machine, I have a backup AD instance running along with a handfull of other server 2008 instances.
Sysprep was run on the hyperv machine ...
@MDMarra SysPrepping the wrong machine isn't the easiest thing to do by accident. I say that it's his wife's "time" and he did it on purpose to have an excuse to stay in the basement.
@Zypher Just his blog post today arguing against the extremely popular "fun" questions. Kinda a stark contrast to his migration then override of the community delete of the "coolest server names" question.

I've actually compiled kernels in the line of professional duty, so I know the skills are out there. Just... not sure if we're the best people to be asking.
I'm going to damned well package this particular software thingie since it's being compiled as part of the puppet process. And that takes 20 freaking minutes. Guess I get to learn how to make .deb files.
I miss the days of functional names for software packages. I have to google almost everything I see these days. There's never a piece of software called "Group configuration file synchroniser Ultimate 2.0" or "AcmeSoft OpenSource VoIP Shit Edition" any more. It's all "PrettyFlower XP" or "UpYaBum Rainbow Sky Edition"
And for fuck sake Microsoft, I blame YOU for people no longer using version numbers. At least you knew that Windows 2000 was a higher version than Windows 95, but XP and Vista? To the un-educated that means shit all. And now every OS needs to name their releases after totally un-IT related bullshit with no reference between names as to which fucking one is older than the other

At least they saw the light, and continued to use functional version numbers for their OS's (The R2 monicer notwithstanding), and have returned to numerical versions for their desktop OS
@Zypher I called my insurance company the other day, and the woman asked me how long I'd been on hold for. I told her it was 31 minutes, and she goes "Oh my... the hold-length indicator on the board here has run out of digits, because it measures in seconds"
Well, with any luck, I'll get some of this off-hour website migration done by the weekend and then be able to get back to flagging the hell out of serverfault! Won't that be fun??
@Holocryptic Just the whole FollowSymLinks thing. I don't want to add "is your webroot a symlink?" to the list of information to ask for on every apache question.
@MarkHenderson I think the curse of the Apache issues is that it's too flexible. IIS sets you on the right path and says "if you want to mess with it, here's the XML file" - Apache gives you some weak defaults, crappy examples, and a google full of awful configs and host-file superstition.
@Holocryptic They're catering to the "I don't trust them interwebs, they listen to me thoughts" crowd. Unfortunately, that crowd thinks the government satellites are listening to their thoughts already.
I remember when I started learning apache, my brain hurt. I don't have much to do with it any more so most of it has fallen out of my brain unfortuantely
Seeing as pulls number out of ass, but probably certifiably close 70-80% of the USPS mailings is junk mail, they can take a long walk off a short pier along with their corkboard.
@MarkHenderson At an old job, we were involved in the polling stations for the 2008 presidential election. We had background checks annually for the elections, but since the presidential election was a Big Deal, we had to do a fingerprint panel so they could verify that we weren't using an alias or stolen identity. Our address, prints, and Social Security number were all on there - basically, identity theft toolkit.
They brought these in person to the agency who was responsible for doing the background checks.. and some of them had the wrong billing code on them. Instead of contacting them for the right info.. they mailed the things via the postal service to the address on the card.
@Holocryptic I would also add to that, at least when you lose an email you have a search function. I had to find a 12-month-old bill for my e-tag for my car on Monday night, I looked for 45 minutes and gave up cos it wasn't where it was meant to be
@Holocryptic Most of mine promptly get stashed into a huge pile, and then every fortnight or so I just dump them all into the sheet-feeder of my scanner and then file them appropriately and shred the originals
And thankfully most of the operators Im with now offer e-billing so its even easier
@Zoredache meta.so is virtually dead to me, but I do have the blog in my google reader and read it whenever it comes up. I only found about it because I saw a lin kin the latest blog post.
As for the podcast, I don't have the time or interest to listen to it, and I don't exactly follow Jeff around like a duck
@ward @RobMoir @Chopper3 http://shelleytherepublican.com/2012/01/28/my-little-pony-friendship-is-satanic.aspx I guess I'm a satanist for liking cartoon ponies

@Ward Fuck you, clicked that pic to see the larger version when the girl who works at the desk next to me looked at my screen and then gave me an "uuhh ok" look
@MarkHenderson psh, she clearly has no taste and no soul then. Also, you should know better than to click on photos posted here without looking over your shoulder
"The only way to install software is via a tool called the ?package manager? ... This works according to a similar principle as a communist super-market: You have a limited range of software which has been chosen on a purely ideological basis rather than functionality."

@ShaneMadden We were founded on religious principles, it's true. Not necessarily Christian. The separation of Church and State didn't come around till it was read into the Constitution through judicial fiat based on a out of context quote by Jefferson to some Quakers (IIRC)
@Holocryptic Yeah - and the clergy threatening to swing the excommunication hammer at the civil leaders when they don't get their way? Clearly works great. I mean, look at the crusades!

just upgraded us to splunk 4.3 across the board, we don't tend to tear away at latest versions, it's been out for a few weeks, but test it first and it seems to have gone in perfectly (touch wood)
Also, UK people, Dad's finally cancelled the renewal for AOL/TalkTalk so we're after a new ISP. Total montly cost, download limits, bandwidth throttling, router provided, etc...any thoughts? Orange do £5 a month with £13 line renal, unlimited download and up to 20MB. I'd like fiber from Virgin as well, but I think they'll probably spam you to get TV as well...
@tombull89 We have virgin Fiber and nothing else. They arnt that bothered only on the ininital sales Call. other wise Orange is good but remember its LLU so may be on the same LLU kit as TalkTalk anyway. I know 02 has a deal with TalkTalk to use there LLU kit.
So the business wants a demo of sharepoint by the end of today.... Do they think I can work miricals....
I've got SQL Server 2000 running on Win7. There's no management tools so I wonder how do I configure/interract with the server. Main purpose for me is to enable remote connections. I know how to do this with SQL Server 2008/Win7 but not with SQL Server 2000?
Is 1433 a default port for SQL Server...
I've done some work with a couple of the security services and vaguely recall someone telling me about someone they'd worked with going to work on anti-interception stuff for the UN and this guy commented that he taken quite a pay drop to do it
We have a Windows server (EBS backed) running in EC2. We make regular snapshots for data backups. I'd like to create a new EC2 instance from one of these snapshots.
Yes, I realise this is the same as yanking out the power and turning a machine on, but I want to test how reliable the data is with...
@Chopper3 I think private work will always pay more than any kind of government / 'public service' / social type work. I'm not really sure which one of those the UN falls under, but you know what I mean!
@Dan generally that's true but I've seen some silly short-term contracts going around for the right skills, especially around security - ~£10k/day in some cases
@Chopper3 I can imagine - I don't think I have the kind of drive to get such a sought after skill that'd command silly money like that. Fair play to those who have
sorry, meant most people who are good at that stuff get initially recruited by getting caught, they then get further training and are used in sigint for a few years then go private with the odd gov job when they come up - i.e. work for us or go to jail
I just realised it's listed in that m.SO link you posted, too so it must scrape Stack Exchange too
Though to be fair to Big Resource, it does (I think) allow you to get to the original forum so at least the search has the ability to yield you answers
