@ewwhite Sure, but let the routers route the traffic bound for servers on the other side through the /30s. And use OSPF if they don't want static routes on the routers.
@ewwhite Just from talking to people, it sounds like an awesome work environment, it's a Joel company, and it's a tech company that exists solely for the tech. It's not tech supporting some business goal that you dont care about
@ewwhite Yeah, that'd work. Personally, I'd avoid manual modifications on the clients at all costs. They can keep their default gateway, not problem. Let the "routers" do the routing :)
All in all I think my interview process went as well as it ever could have, and if I had lived in the US, or even Canada, I'd have the job right now
I just wanted to give you an update on our status. We were happy with
your performance on the project you gave us, but
we've decided overall that pursuing this is not in our best interest
right now. Shawn actually gave us notice that he is
leaving to go work at Twitter in a few weeks, and our current problem
is to find someone local to replace him. Given the
uncertainties about having you come out here, we can't justify the
risk in the situation we are in right now. I apologize for the back
and forth, and if you are still interested in the future, and we get
^^ That was the email I got from them
Interestingly, since Shawn went to Twitter, twitter has had three major outages. Co-incidence?
We were originally going to leave Sydney because property here is prohibitively expensive. I own a 2-bedroom average apartment in the 'burbs a 1 hour commute from the city by train, and it's worth about $400,000
So you can only imagine what a 4-bedder house with land is worth
(and where I live is a bit of a crappy suburb)
So when I told my boss we were moving to a smaller town so we could buy a house with some land, he basically said "How much would it cost for you to buy it in Sydney". So I told him, and he agreed to give me a pay bump to catch the difference between my current repayments and the repayments on our new place
Can anyone tell me in 100 words or less the difference between Insight Control and iLO Advanced; would I want one over the other, or both? I'm familiar with iLO, but not IC.
@ShaneMadden Yes. Like their rather short update support timeframe. By the time you get a release tested and rolled out, they're already announcing an impending EOL.
@ShaneMadden Though to be honest, my complaints there are slightly disingenuous really. It's not like my Devs have ever run apt-get upgrade on one of their servers. They just leave it at the basic release level available on whatever ISO they download.
@voretaq7 Well, people are unlikely to die with ours, but some folks might get hurt. Thankfully there's no SLAs really. And sometimes the staff forget to even call us when it all breaks.
life's a beach when your customers are your monitoring service.... gag
@voretaq7 Yeah. We have enough problems getting them to report real problems. If the database is down they don't really care. Facebook not working? They're on the phone to their union rep. 3 seconds after they call the on-call senior director.
@ewwhite All the marketing material is C-Level bullsh*t... And the IC license is only like $150 per server, where the iLO Adv is $300.... And the IC looks like it does more, so why would it be half the price... Like I said, just having a really tough time with what makes sense.
Seriously, I've never seen a difference... But I always have keys available... Or I buy systems that have it all included. High-performance models. I've never noticed a difference. @chopper3 would know
@ewwhite Also, do you still have the the contact with the HP Reseller? I'm trying to light a fire on my upgrade project and need a quote for a C7000, 4x BL460cG7 with RAM, and a pair of Flex ICs. (Part numbers: 507014-B21, 4x 630442-S01, 24x (or maybe 40x) 500662-B21, and 2x 571956-B21). No rush, but we've been talking about it at work for months and I'm tired of talking. =]
@voretaq7 In case you're interested, it was the VM's BIOS boot settings. Like many crap BIOSes, it only tries the first disk, then declares there's no OS
@voretaq7 Q: Hey jerks, what the fuck are you supposed to do when you can't boot your VM after you dicked with it for like 2 hours? A: Check the BIOS fuckhead
@ewwhite Whenever you get a chance if you could throw a quote my way. I think the Flex ICs are the most expensive, I've got a line on a pair of them locally if your price is "too close to retail"
@ewwhite That would probably work too. I'm most interested as there's a local asset recovery place that wants to offload a pair of them they got stuck with somehow, so I'm wondering what they should cost.
@ewwhite Ok. You definitely know these better than I do... And that's cheaper than the FlexFabric ICs.
We're running iSCSI right now. Wasn't sure if we'd be looking at FCoE in the future. But I'm probably better off worrying about the next year or two and letting future SAN upgrades worry about themselves.
My apartment neighbor is dating the most ridiculous example of a hipster I've seen in ages. Surprisingly, he's actually friendly as well. I wasn't aware that there's a model of hipster that wasn't also a douche-bag.
I am reading up on TCP/IP and other related protocols and technologies. MAC addresses are described as being (reasonably :) unique, and as having a large possibility space (several hundred trillions), while also being assigned to all network interfaces. What are the historical and technical reaso...
This question has been asked a number of times in general linux terms and in relation to certain file systems, but I have not seen the question asked about this specific brand/model SAN. So, the question is: What's the fastest way to delete millions of files (JPGs ranging from 1-15MB) on an Isilo...
@voretaq7 Dunno, just saw it pop up on a bounty question. Was the only question on it b4 I retagged the Q. Does the system deal with that automatically?
I have a proxy/firewall machine running FreeBSD 9, using PF to route and filter traffic as needed.
Now I'm setting up a git server, which runs over ssh, but I'm already using port 22 for ssh. I would like to route traffic from any IP to port 22 to another machine, if the hostname they used to re...
@MikeyB For years I could only sporadically email a friend of mine. He had a leading '-' in his username and half of the time emails to him bounced from my outbound servers as illegal addresses. Was rather irritating.
Over the years I have slowly developed a regular expression that validates MOST email addresses correctly, assuming they don't use an IP address as the server part. Currently the expression is:
^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$
I use this in several PHP pro...
@voretaq7 I know, I miss the diners in Rochester. Even place likes Denny's shut at 10pm most nights. The really nice restaurants are often shut down by 10 unless they're primarily a bar, and those often close the regular menu at 9.
We flew into SeaTac at 9pm once and had to drive 5 miles to find anything that wasn't a casino or fast food.
@MichaelHampton Back home I never even used to bother going to the diner until 1am. Can't find but 2 now and the wait time for those 2 is about 90 minutes most nights.
Who the fsck wants to get to a diner at 1am and have to wait until 2:30 to order?
@voretaq7 I have one lonely Ubuntu 10.04LTS "server" among all my CentOS and Oracle Linux boxes. It was an experiment gone terribly wrong, and next month I get to stick a knife in it.
@JourneymanGeek Ha, wait until it fails. They have some... bizarre failure modes. And I hope you never have to actually build a dpkg from source. It's obnoxious.

Bleh. Debian. Of course, Our Lenny probably sucks because of the way our Devs did the install. Everything they do is a one-off that's worked on only until it works and then it's to be frozen permanently with no updates.
