I've noticed that repositories in CentOS have the .rpm extension.
Are there other extensions?
Is .rpm specific to the operating system? i.e. do other linux operating systems have other extensions?
This is probably a continuation of my previous (unanswered) question because the underlying cause is probably the same.
I have a Linux server with nginx and sshd running on it. It's on a shared 100mbit/s unmetered link. During "peak times" (basically, during the day in the US), sftp performance ...
gizmodo.com/5930358/… in a year, Metro will be known as a virus that infected every Microsoft UI. People will get sick of the bland, flat UI, boycott and move to OSX where the desktop and portables are actually discernible but both equally easy to use.
@Zach i discussed this with a client the other day. theres many ways to do it [email protected][email protected] or [email protected] - we perferred [email protected] but always @company.com - to ME - a @mac.com or @gmail.com is OK for personal use, but when speaking on behalf of a company, it should be @company.com
@Zach depends what you're doing, I wouldn't buy products/services professionally from a company with a me.com/hotmail/gmail etc. address, maybe personally though, I seem to recall there's a lot of that sort of thing on Etsy
@lsiunsuex I hate telling people "I told you so" but it happens so damn often. My company redesigned their website last year. I told them to go with a simple design, and to limit themselves to a single color, plus an accent color if they really needed it (black, white, and grays don't count as "colors" for webdesign). They ignored all that. Well the new hotness in webdesign, monochromatic sites with big pictures and clean lines.... >=|
if you have the domain name you probably have atleast a handful of email addresses - MOST hosting providers offer free email when you have a hosting account
@Zach shit service, poor company morals (they backed some shit government law that never got passed) - caught multiple times on shady domain registration practices
there is a metric shit ton of hosting providers. i like 1and1 - look around, ask some people - buy what you think you can afford / offers a good package for that money
@ChrisS I couldn't find an image of the album cover I wanted to use -- all I could find was the one of them all in the tub, and that's a little odd even for here.
@voretaq7 I think she came along about 1 or 2 generations of women rap stars after Queen Latifah. But I don't watch TV anymore, so I might be wrong about that stuff.
@LucasKauffman Because the writers were all art majors?
@voretaq7 3Oh3 is strange in just about anybody's universe. They're like a BloodHound Gang for the 2000s.
I used to spend a lot of time listening to music on satellite radio when I worked at Big Blue. I pretty much only listen to KEXP now because the GF listens to it and everything else on the air sucks.
@ChrisS One or two schools nationally could cover the demand for that. And I have no problem with art-specific schools, but the land grant colleges doing arts just annoys me.
RIT even had a School of American Crafts back in the 1990s. Learning how to make reproduction vintage furniture and cabinetry by hand.
The great musicians and artists either have no degree at all, or PhDs in their respective fields
I doubt that there's more than a handful of influential people that have nothing more than a BA in Music History
Yet, there are tons of students that go and get a BA in Music History or Composition, or Literature, or Art History, or Fine Arts and then are confused as to why they can't afford to live alone, pay their bills, or eat more than pb&j
@ewwhite Frankly, I'd be more cheerfully inclined towards them if they didn't have a shitty condescending attitude towards people who pursue more technical career paths.
Hmm... they're some of the happiest ones I know. A lot of creative types in Chicago... shared-apartment situations and kinda crappy jobs (cafe, bike messenger, etc.), but they're not tied to a desk either...
The only guy I know that studied arts and is really making money of it is friend of mine who's a fashion designer, but he also has a degree in economics apart from his artsy one
I think the "saltiness" was 1. The demand for most "arts" degrees is in the thousands per year for the whole US; while there's tens of thousands of graduates, and enough programs to keep cranking them out. 2. Many people who are interested in learning about the arts take those degrees while they're not actually interested or talented in doing arts.
There was a guy I know who did a Bachelor after his CS bachelor, he studied for medical management assistent (doctor's secretary). He ended up partying a whole year and still passed magna cum laude
Suppose you have a fully virtualized VMware infrastructure: ESXi, vCenter, vMotion, HA, DRS, the whole package.
Inside, you have lots of VMs, which at any given time may reside on one host or another (that's the whole point of clustering, isn't it?).
You experience a power loss, and, one way or...
I suspect that's because it would take less time to reboot everything all at once and then kick any misbehaving services than to actually implement something like that.
@freiheit A place I worked lost the main power feed to a building. It needed trenches digging to replace it. They hired a portable generator (on a wagon) to power the building - it was refilled from a tanker whilst still running.
@Iain We hired a generator like that for some work to be done a while back.
Sadly, the generator mounted to the ground not only can't be refilled while running, it can't be tested more than once a year without spending some money on cleaning up its emissions.
I think they call that kind of thing "Value Engineering"
To be fair, we're a university campus, so if the power's out for more than 24 hours the students aren't attending classes (etc) anyways
it had mobile phone technology built in and it phoned home to let them know when to come fill it up. On 2 occasions if ran out just as the tanker arrived ~ just not in time :(
One of our clients does something very interesting. He went to all the hospitals, datacenters, etc, in the state and offered to take over their generator maintenance at an absurdly cheap price, but on the condition that he gets to control when the generators are turned on etc. So when the electricity is at its most expensive (i.e. during the evening), he powers up the generators and feeds back into the grid, but only a small amount. He then takes the tax credits he gets for feeding power
back into the grid at peak times, then shuts them down. Only does it for an hour or so from a few of the sites each day, and it reaps him a small fortune.
Don't see why not. There's a blanket enegery-purchasing scheme for the state. Any excess electricity must be purchased by the supplier. It's designed for solar panels, but this guy has a creative loophokle
(it's worth nothing that the generator does not supply electricity to the building when he does this, it only pumps it back into the grid)
@MichaelHampton That is just silly. Just answer all the questions you know the answer for. In the long run you will be getting more rep from your older questions from months and years ago then stuff you answered an hour ago.
Or at least you will if you answer the right questions with good answers.
Ah, well here's one you may know, then... http://serverfault.com/questions/413078/fail2ban-fails-to-ban-most-of-the-time-why-could-that-be I'm right, right? Dude just doesn't get how fail2ban works...?
It does work, like 5 times out of 3000 or so.

Anyone here ever had the idea 'lets build a piece of software that I can access from my browser and runs under the httpd user so I can write at free will'?
@JoelESalas First, I try to stay away from Windoze questions. I either don't know the answer or I don't want to know. Second, of the rest of the ones that have bounties, the problem is all too often the user asking the question, and I don't think that answer would be helpful.
We have a contracted web developer that uses deployment scripts to update and deploy web sites. In order for them to work they require write access to the whole webroot through the httpd user.
I have tried to convince them to upload their changes by ftp or even scp, they just don't want to.

@MichaelHampton Sure, it often takes some prodding to get the needed info out of bounty question askers, but the rep payoff is usually worth a few "gimmie info pls" queries.
