I'm being tongue in cheek. The kdc's on the servers have OpenLDAP backends and use syncrepl rather than kprop to keep them in order. There is no way I'm doing this without TLS.
the fileshare was getting low on space - like < 4gb free and we found out there was a duplicate of a folder in excess of 50gb from her dept. i have a special way of talking to people :) and she interpreted it as the server was gonna crash and she was gonna be fired over this
that's the only wonky thing I see -- if you add that in the director should run and you can test the rest by running a full / diff / inc job and making sure it writes to the correct pools
@lsiunsuex gatorade is disgusting, and not that great at rehydrating you.
Okay, drive-by downvoter, I poured my soul (however evil, and shrivelled a cat's soul is) into this, and then you go and make kitty sad four months later: serverfault.com/questions/378722/…
@voretaq7 I'm still pissed off about the conscious decision they made to have Gnome monitor trash folders in NFS mounts. Load average goes up to 2x the logged-in user count within after the first non-responsive trash check.
This is a problem on a server with 40 logged-in users.
So apparently a virus can cause an extra membrane to grow in your eye. Poor wife has been suffering for a couple weeks. Unfortunately it's not a useful eyelid.
@voretaq7 I've never had a need, so I've started setting it up in the past and lost interest half way though ever time. The documentation seems, less than ideal.
@Adrian The company is getting sued right now over it... Apparently their previous design had the same problem, that was sued, won, recalled. But the new design has the exact same problem. Simply dropping one side of the safe opens the locking mechanism!!!
@JoelESalas There's more details from the company that put that video together. The first two safes have a very bad design, with a spring holding the lock shut. Dropping the safe is enough to overpower the spring.
@JoelESalas These safes were issued to Clark County Sheriffs in Vancouver, WA; and the officer's kid opened the safe this way and shot himself (died 4 hours later).
That's the mechamism there. You can see the solenoid that unlocks the safe (black thing, bottom center). When dropped the solenoid opens, and stays unlocked until the circuity re-locks the safe.
@voretaq7 Well the issue is that people never bother to look. That mechanism is usually covered by a plastic plate. People just assume that the "safe" is secure... It's not ever close to a good design. They obviously made no effort at all to design the lock as a "safe" mechanism.
@ChrisS bsnmp seems like a pain in the ass to extend compared to net-snmp, but net-snmp has strange behavioral issues sometimes, and a major memory leak
@ChrisS no, it's a cheap mechanism, not a safe one. Cam and follower costs too much apparently
@voretaq7 One of these days when I've got time I want to get it running. I've got a few BSD servers around and would like something more than the weekly periodic report.
@Chopper3 Oh, I see teh ewwhite made mention of things! I'm doing a startup and they want to do HTTP streaming-like thing. So.. I had a lengthy question if you wouldn't mind. Could I potentially e-mail?
the daemon part is easy tho - it's the shit that polls it and turns it into something useful that's got a major learning curve. Part of why I love intermapper even though it costs money :-)
@Chopper3 That's what multicast was made for. I do appreciate that the software and implementations aren't there, so you really have not choice. It's just frustrating that someone academically solved the "problem" and nobody uses it.
@Chopper3 pfft well you're doing it wrong then - TV around here drops frames ALL THE TIME! And what would I do without my digital artifacts from missing key frames?!? :-)
@ChrisS and how do you do multicast nationally to EVERYONE? you do what did and get the backbone upgraded as part of a £12BN 5 year project - then you can do it and we are now
we have this thing called a 'Universal Service Provision' that we have/try to stick to - we don't offer a product/service to anyone unless everyone in the UK can have it - that adds a tiny bit of complexity
@voretaq7 we have two guys very closely involved in their own time in the UK computer museum (or whatever it's called), I know they have an Amiga but no idea about a VT
As someone who knows how to fix darn near everything on personal computers you quickly become aware of the fact that if anyone learns of this ability they'll never leave you alone for as long as you live.
@MDMarra I love that I can do <kbd>Windows Key</kbd> then a short sting of characters and <kbd>Enter</kbd> and run 90% of the programs I regularly use.
@JoelESalas Been a long time since I've used it, but IIRC you plug the target drive in to a Mac (that's running and has the backup accessible) and the GUI had an option to restore onto that drive
If you're thinking about implementing radmind or something to manage the environment though I wouldn't worry about the initial install -- scripted OS X install, install the management software client, and bonk on the deploy button
I think this guy should get together with Joey Buttafuoco and open a collection agency. You get a dunning letter from Momofuku & Buttafuoco, you know you're going to put a check in the return mail,"
so last week a friend contacted me (haven't talked to her since her brother died las year) asking if i know how to write iphone apps. yes, i replied - and whats the general idea and do you have capital
tells me the idea - some bullshit fashion shopping app and her step brother is gonna back her - ok. i progress to tell her everything she needs to do. need a server, database, website, hosting, ios license, need to build the content, blah blah blah - like 3 pages of shit she needs to do in order to even see this come to life
haven't heard from her since :)
my point is; everyone has a great idea at one time or another (not saying this was a great idea) - once they realize wtf it actually takes, their not so motivated anymore :)
and those are the type of people where the quote comes out to about $10k usd w/ 50% down 50% upon delivery - cause if i'm doing ALL of the work, i'm sure as fuck getting paid for it
@lsiunsuex I had a similar pitch from a friend's mom. She wanted to create a website where you could pick outfits based on what's in your closet, and a picture of yourself.
Two obvious issues right off the bat: 1. People are terrible at measuring themselves, 2. There's no way anyone could take high-quality pictures of themselves OR their clothes
people think its a few lines of code, a little graphic work and its done!
this thing i'm working on with the dentists - i've been in development for 8 months now - (finally going live august 20th no matter what - school starts then) - numerous revisions to each section, atleast 1 meeting every week with the dentist. constant communication every step of the way. brought on a 2nd server to separate FMS from the rest of the server
We are in the process of setting up a hosting machine that clients will have SSH access to. We don't want them to be able to see a list of user accounts, but the problem we have run into are commands like w and who.
We could disable those, but then they could just bring their own binary. I just ...
@lsiunsuex Yeah, I think onesource is legit. I know how it goes. for my own consultancy I've wanted to buy leads for very targetted businesses to pitch them an idea or two.
we don't have a problem targeting schools - but targeting schools outside of > 300 miles is a bitch - one of the biggest ones in the usa is in my city; but i can't bring on vendors until my user base is significant - > 1000 students
provide students education and access to residencies that they may not have access to in school or their school doesn't cover it or theres no time to cover it in school
@lsiunsuex Your best bet honestly would be contacting the schools and asking for their student lists - you'll find a few that are willing to give/sell that info pretty freely
my dentist friend (dude who commisioned me to do this) has connections to 12 of the schools
i'm greedy and want all of them right off of the bat :)
like i said, i can't start to make money till i hit a critical mass of students - more the better
not just professors - he knows the deans
so, we're in - but i'm impatient :)
new students - first day of dental school they have to become a member of the ASDA - we're convincing the deans to have them sign up at our website also on that day
(they pay for the asda membership - no choice - they won't pay for ours)
id think more students would have a facebook profile than a linkedin profile - as a student. maybe once they become a dentist they have linkedin
i'll setup a facebook acct for the website - find all the dental schools on facebook - friend everyone who's friends with those schools - on go live date - tell the world
@lsiunsuex Diaspora. G+ was DOA since 2 weeks after it came out they decided it was an identity service and not social networking. Hell, I think their API is STILL read-only.
g+ is OK but its like changing america to the metric system. why? everyone uses whatever the f' u want to call what we use. same thing. g+ could be plated in gold and studed with diamonds - but everyone uses facebook
I'll be cranky if G+ goes popular. Right now it's the exact level of chatter that I want from the people I'm interested in. And I don't have to worry about my 14 year old cousins sending me friend requests.
@Iain Yeah, I'm annoyed at how little it gets used considering I was forced to turn on a whole bunch of various Google things I'd previously turned off just to be able to use G+.
