We are running a server with 23 cores (cpuinfo shows 22 as the highest process number) and 66 Gig RAM. The development team here is running some apps, which hogs memory.
I have observered that:
1. Even when the memory runs very low (free memory = 167 MB), there is no swap usage. Wondering why th...
@Chopper3: Do you know if there is any way to update path policy across all hosts in a cluster? I'm so tired of manually clicking every single datastore on every single host..
yep, but the VMa has a nice way of auto-authenticating you across your entire estate - then just write some little bash script - really easy - I have lots to do all the regular crap we need to do
Anyone else I'm missing who likes playing with the twittahs?
@petergrace: re: respect-filtering - meditate on this perspective; IT has more people in which you work within a meritocracy, and IT people TEND to be more aspergian in behavior. So politics you see in other departments is not as tolerated. It's not necessarily a matter of respect.
In fact, it could be argued that blunt honesty that seems rude (or "mean") is a sign of respect...they're not wasting your time or tip-toeing around someone's feelings to get to the heart of the matter.
Another fact: when I type @jeffferland's username here I feel like I'm stuttering on the F key.
Things that need to die of old age: the idea that swap partitions should be twice the size of your RAM. Technology has left that idea behind, and your 128GB swap partition is terrifying.
It is relatively easy to add a virtual network interface. The problem is to make it communicate with other hosts, so at this point it is not my priority. For example, due to security restrictions, it is only possible to communicate with the web site hosting the VM or with cooperating servers. Moreover, only specific types of network protocols can be handled because no raw TCP connection nor raw UDP packets can be sent due to API restrictions and security reasons.
Once when I was in middle school, some class I wasn't involved in had a book about "Furland".... Suddenly people started spelling my name that way and I was confused. I've never seen that happen before or since. Meanwhile, the teacher was very confused because that year students started misspelling the book as "Ferland".
@BartSilverstrim The best racket I can come up with would be selling spam services and anti-spam services at the same time. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate.
In an ideal world I would just reimage their machine every time.
And staple a big note that says, "Don't do that" to his or her forehead.
I need a job where i can just spout my opinions and pretend everyone else is stupid. Are they called pundits on the radio? I wouldn't mind that if I got paid to do it.
If I won the lotto...I could indulge in glasswork or try going on the radio as an opinionated pundit or an author. I think that covers most of the careers I'd daydreamed over working in IT.
I love my co-workers. I do. They make me a little crazy. I got one Dev arguing with me about what her script does and when. She says that her script goes and downloads some files via SFTP, closes connection, and then processes it. Yet her script crashes an hour into its run with a segfault in libssh.so and keepalives continue to go out for an hour until it crashes. Sure, it closes that connection.
beautiful sniffle and wipe tear - I tell you it just WARMS MY FROZEN USER-HATING HEART when I see something more than just a 12-year-old script kiddie ping-flooding things.
Professor wants to use Apple TV + iPad mirroring in classroom. Wireless on campus is outside of the firewalls. We won't put Apple TVs outside because of the fear that a student will get the password and project porn remotely. I suggest setting up a VPN and the iPad would connect to our wireless and remotely access the internal subnet that the Apple TVs are on. "Too complicated" - Ok, well fuck you.
A sender and a receiver have a live TCP connection. The sender’s transmit window size is 64Kbytes. Assume there are never any packet losses, and the channel between sender and receiver is 1 Gbps , with a round-trip-time constant at 20 ms. What is the maximum throughput achievable? (i.e maximum nu...
Yes, You Can! (But it's entirely unsupported and may cause your hair to fall out, arms to grow out of the top of your head, and other hideous mutations!)
The particular disgusting hackery you're looking for is called The Depenguinator, but be warned: It's 4 years old, and potentially suffering f...
I know it's not live support, but if someone knows if it's possible to install the terminal services role on 2k3 without a reboot, I'd really appreciate the knowledge
@tombull89 Haha here it's really not. IT has final say over everything technology related, and since it involves the security of the wireless network it's squarely my decision
@MDMarra Nice to have that power. Here it's something like "We want this". "We can't do this because [rational answer]" - "OBJECTION! DO IT ANYWAAYAYAYAYAY". Okay, when? Drop everything and do it now? We don't have the manpower to do that.
As I said earlier, the school wants a bank of iPads. The network infrastructure (wireless) can handle it, but I'm buggered if I knew where to start with setting them up and management. Sticking them on the wireless, fine. Remote management? Budget? Nahhh.
Ha! Love it. Ours is *just* a bit different of a process:
1.) Bad Idea presented to IT staff as a "want". 2.) IT staff indicates specific problems with said Bad Idea. 3.) District determines "want" is now a "need". 4.) Bad Idea implemented. Indicated problems occur. 5.) IT is asked/told to fix the problems.
"Every time you buy a piece of software, some spiffy new hardware, or an iDevice without telling the right people beforehand, God kills a kitten. And, somewhere, a Technician sobs into a corner."
@Chopper3 Yeah, we saw that. The problem is that it's not a real product. They just cut open a wireless HDMI receiver and hooked a battery pack up to it
I've never run it on the server. I just copy the boot image to my machine, modify it with DISM, commit the changes, copy it back to the server, and import it in WDS
@BartSilverstrim Yeah, my take on it is that IT people are very heavily driven by how much they respect the person they're talking to. If they dont have respect for someone, they're more likely to be condescending or short in their answers.
@voretaq7 hate that, I do. All sorts of stuff specifically require postfix to be installed, like logwatch. As if exim4 and mailx wouldn't do that just fine.
@voretaq7 Debian at least doesn't require me to spend 4 hours manually determining dependencies for Ruby. CentOS' yum neglected to mention that rubygems doesn't work right without gcc installed.
I'm probably going to try running Xubuntu past the boss and see what he thinks.
@voretaq7 Even 9.10 was notorious for that, tho it might've been Gnome. Some derp-week hard-coded what filesystem types the gnome-trashcan checker would ignore and dropped NFS off the list. So suddenly 9.04/9.10 started doing trash checks across WAN links for every user every 2 minutes.
@jscott Ah, we have a couple sets of terminal servers. Chrome is worthless on them, because you either loose your settings at each login/logout, or you can't start chrome at all if you redirect the settings to a network location.
@MDMarra Yeah. Sad fact is, I did the installs on these things back in 2002. These staff have been clinging to their Win98 boxes for 10 years rather than switch to a Linux terminal.
@MDMarra Yeah, I wish. Everything's still pretty much political expediency and whim of whichever manager has the upper hand in the political game at that point.
@Holocryptic I generally vote to close anything that asks not to be closed in the body... I think you should start by striking that bit out, or moving it to a comment.
