@ColdT thank God it's read only Friday. I was about to do something with our master LDAP, but no, I have learnt my lesson. Must not do difficult work on Friday.
talking of touch screens did you read that MS have had to drop the name, but not the concept, of the 'Metro' interface - someone already owns it, now it's just 'Windows 8 UI'
@SmallClanger Probably the same way that ISC dhcpd has done it for like a decade
The DHCP databases are essentially just mirrored between the two servers, so either one can issue an address from the same overlapping scope since they're aware of each other's leases
@ewwhite Those stupid commentators... I wanted to call NBC last night and tell them "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means"
Ryan Lochte's mom said he doesn't have time for a relationship and only has "one-night stands" when she meant that he only usually goes on first dates, since he travels all the time
I do believe his bejeweled teeth are a representation of the stars and strips of the American flag...
Oooh, a client question...
This site has a Barracuda Web Filter. The client wants people connecting via wireless to not be filtered...
I deployed a new wireless access point. It sits at 10.1.10.238. The user id is admin and the password is XXX. I would like for all traffic through it to not be filtered through the web filter. I put an exception for 10.1.10.238 in the web filter table but it still filters traffic.
Well, I have an industrial-strength wireless infrastructure there... Motorola/Symbol with controllers for the warehouse needs. But I bet here, the client just got a Linksys from Best Buy.
I'd definitely vLAN off an unfiltered/uncontrolled guest WiFi network... I'm probably more paranoid than most with regards to what "guests" bring into our office.
Many schools over here have a tetherball pole, so it's extremely common for kids to have played it. Not many adults play, though there's a World Tetherball Association that puts on tournaments every year.
Hey Guys, I need to setup one server for live TV for my users. My users requirement is (there are 10 users) they need to access 5 live channels with different session. May i ask this kind of question here?
@Achu Can you ask that on the main site? I sounds like you're asking for a product recommendation or beginners guide, so no, that would be off-topic. You're free to ask in chat, but there's only a handful of people in here....
If your question is "How do I set up a server for live TV?" it's a bad question. If it's "I'm trying to use X and I'm encountering this problem: Y" then it's a good question.
I already tried this using remote connection(different remote session) putting one computer with TV card and 5 satellite decoders. This computer can access the 5 channels, and i make a remote connection for 10 users and they can access the 5 channels normally. But the problem is when someone changed the channel, it will change for other too.
Right, there are 5 inputs. Should the users be able to change what those input channels are. Or should they only be able to pick between the 5 fixed channels?
@ChrisS Yeah, they should be able to pick the fixed 5 channels only. But when one user change his channel, it should not be affect other users channel.
@Achu what you're trying to do...stop it, go back and use the right tools for the job, you're trying to make chocolate cake with dogshit and a bag of hammers
Install VLC on the "Server" with the video input cards. Run 5 instances of the program, and have each stream (Stream is on the File menu) one of the channels via RTP Audio/Video (Destination in the Streaming Wizard) to addresses 239.1.0.1 to 239.1.0.5 (Multicast address so you don't flood your network). The "client" computers will need player software (VLC works great again); then they can watch TV by opening rtp://239.1.0.1 to rtp://239.1.0.5 in the player.
...but not really to bury it, either. RAID-5 is misunderstood by too many people. It's cyclical, to be sure. We started off with no one knowing what RAID was, then we went to everyone knowing what RAID was (or at least, being familiar enough with it to mistake it for being a backup). RAID-5 was [...]
Watching our local olympics stream on Windows in a VM... currently they're reporting on "If there was a fourth place medal what colour would it be?" And showing "interesting" tweets.

I'm considering moving a large database from mechanical disks to SSDs. My initial instinct was to go for RAID 10, but further research suggests that this configuration can significantly reduce the random access performance of the SSDs.
The database is very much read heavy and it's generally gene...
@MDMarra I'm sure he found some 1337 enthusiasts who know that RAID 10 is slower the RAID 1 because it's got a whole extra layer of RAID in there and everyone knows that RAID is so much slower than just plugging a disk directly into the computer.
You may have misunderstood someone. RAID-5 is slower than RAID-10 on writes, but RAID-1 can be treated as a RAID-10 with a single pair of disks, and thus has the same performance per "spindle" as RAID-10.
The best recommendation for SSD on a database is to use RAID-5. The rebuild time on the in...
Why would anyone waste all that expensive SSD real estate on RAID-10?
@MikeyB Mostly because people cut and paste from the fucking tutorials like blind assmonkeys, and the tutorials don't say anything about meaningful names.
If your locality is incredibly high, then there'll be no difference, however as you start to do random reads across more of your dataset, having a larger pool of SSD will be faster
if the black box inside the SSD spits out an URE, the storage controller should immediately fail the drive and rebuild it on a spare from parity. Which should take a fraction of the time a similar sized hard drive would
@Chopper3 I'd be even less worried there- they have something much more robust than RAID
it's ok for the right application, great for unicast streaming from a decent sized catalogue - though you can put lots of memory in most blades these days and get the same, if not better, from plain caching
@Basil I asked NetApp for a quote for a pair of 3240's plus bits to work in active/standby between two data centres for DR - great quote, prices were spot on - missed off the snapmirror licences entirely but otherwise perfect :)
One common complaint on MSO about suggested edits is that some users blindly accept all suggested edits, no matter how minor or incorrect they may be. It seems to come up especially frequently in the never-ending "is a minor edit better than no edit at all" debate.
It reminds me of the complaint...
So I'm not happy that an ESXi host has basically crashed. VM's are running, but I can't connect to the host via vCenter or the client directly. hostd is core dumping
I'll add a little something here...
The web filtering appliances I use all have a lookup feature that allows the submission of a URL to see how it will be categorized. This is done without actually initiating a connection to the site. In addition, the same content database can be referenced thr...
I have a v3200 with a 4 port FC expansion card. I am trying to switch one (or all, doesn't matter) of those ports from target to initiator. When I execute fcadmin config, I get:

There is only one instance I can think of, where mail server is also running a DNS server, it check's locally for DNS and this DNS server is not accessed by any other server... And even then, that's unlikely, so basically no.
@Mike Pennington sums it up nicely with his comment.
Can someone translate, since I can't make any sense out of it
@MDMarra Some mail admins set up a caching resolver on their mail servers & point the mail server's DNS at 127.0.0.1 to avoid bothering their "main" DNS server with lookups
But the context of your comment is determined on your my brain interprets his answer. And that comes out to "I'm tryin to get some reeeeeep, so I'll post acronyms that sound like they work. Aaaaaand, I'm done"
I've never seen the point personally, and I certainly wouldn't serve any records off that resolver -- it should just be a cache (dnscache is perfect for that use)
