@Jacob it's like a chatroom on steroids. Yes, this is a very good chatroom as far as web-based chats go, but it lacks a ton of features compared to IRC.
@Jacob if you've never spent a decent amount of time on IRC, you probably won't understand.
I can keep my irc client, irssi, running in a GNU screen session, so I can attach and detach to it whenever I want, without actually signing out of the room. I can set up custom triggers, notifications, logging, automatic actions, etc.
So I spend a lot of time at the Comms Room here in the SF chat, and I absolutely love the interface. It's a proprietary software, so, anyone know any open or free alternative that even begins to look like the SE chat?
I searched before posting and most of the questions are solved using jabber. I...
Ok, is it too bad to comment on 2 answers to the same question that are advertising the use of webmin? I never posted comments against something, but webmin is too much
Let's say I have a linux instance in Amazon and I save everything in the EBS. I only need to use the instance a few times in a month therefore, normally I will "stop" the instance and "start" it when I need to use it. Beside this, I wonder if there is any further way to save more cost? The EBS i...
Ive got several sections in my nginx config, fcgi for php, upstream for certain URLs etc and I want the nginx.log file to no log anything for any query coming from localhost as internal processes just flood it and then get processed by cron scripts.
Any ideas?
Ive tried this is it ignores it.

like, it opens and closes tickets, it scales the ticket after a certain time, it allows a ticket to be 'authorized' by a manager and supports basic change management.
@ErikA yeah, I must admit I am a late comer to the SE sites (I only knew Stack Overflow and never cared much), but SF got me hooked
let's say that i have the following directory structure
site
lib
versions
/1.0
/application
/library
/public
and my site root is mydomain.com
i would like all request to mydomain.com to be redirected to mydomain.com/versions/1.0/public , whilst keeping the request url to myd...
@Jacob unless I have a contract or a specific order from higher powers to write non-gpl code, I don't see why my personal projects can't be.
@fmysky The site has it's advantages: you can "ask and forget" and check back later, you can access it easily (IRC sometimes is blocked), the site markup allows real documentation to be written, etc.
Hi. I've moved my Wordpress from one domain to another, and I want the use .htaccess 301 redirects to redirect posts on the old domain to posts on the new domain.
My webhost suggested I try the following:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?steve.do...
It has always irked my inner aesthetic nazi that code blocks are indistinguishable* from blockquotes at first glance. See my recent answer for an example. I'm picturing something like this:
*Yes, I know that code is monospace and blockquotes are not.
The behavior you see is by design. When using the natural language query (NLQ) if the total number of documents containing the term is greater than 2 million, then the weight will be 0.
This is done on the following lines of /storage/myisam/ft_nlq_search.c:
gweight=word->weight*GWS_IN_USE;

hey guyz,
am new in systems administration and the org am in has been using exchange 2003 for lyk forever,i thot i would change the systems to a linux server basically to cut l
@Iain i'm just impressed with the effort, I was just going to leave a snarky comment but he has the commitment to go the whole way and write half a page of vitriol
I almost went to Denny's Beer Barrel Pub the last time I was in the US. We had to cancel because my friend overdid it at a Brazilian steakhouse two days before.
We need so much more info than this, without knowing if you have shared,VPS, or dedicated, the host. I can only guess that non-Chinese IPs are getting blocked by the host or possibly some transit provider. About the only thing you can do is talk to your host.
@RobertMoir true. I can't tell if it was a troll attempt or someone with poor spelling and concept ideas - the last line makes no sense to me "linux server basically to cut l "
@RobertMoir: Depends what you do with it afterwards. Apparently, Micahel Phelps was putting away 17,000 calroies/day during the peak of his training schedule.
(not that there's many Phelps lookalikes on that site...)
i mean i could see ordering one of those massive burgers to share, especially for the novelty of it (and believe me, I am not a skinny person or an especially light eater) but i'd just be ill trying to eat something like.. .well.. any of those
Actaully it wasn't that far off. He was stuffing his face with massive pizzas and fried eggs and mayonnaise. All sorts of junk as it was the most efficient way to get the energy in.
Note: There's some opinionated ranting in this. You're free to ignore it :)
Ok, this is email we're talking about, so we should start by saying there is simply no way to guarantee deliverability of a message. SMTP was devised in a quieter, more trusting time. Since then, many people have implem...
@SmallClanger when he gets back he's either a) full of beans or b) utterly shattered - never anywhere in between - the Olympic water sports are being held in Weymouth which isn't too far from us - he's going to be helping out down there for the 2/3 weeks
@RobertMoir: Thanks. I hated having to put SPF in place, but too many of our mails were bouncing (or worse, being blackholed) as a result of not having it.
@fmysky said last night that most of the questions here would be answered by a good man reading. I didn't agree with him on the 'most' part, but sometimes I doubt it

@Sam Sometimes those books are a really good read. It does depend a lot on the author (and the publisher's page minimum...). I learned a few new tricks studying for my MCIPTs.
hopefully so, to be honest I don't mind doing them, it's finding the time to fit in some study, I have to do it in reasonable chunks of time, trying to just pick bits up when I have 10 minutes spare doesn't seem to work for me
Whenever I consider moving into a more development-type role, I have to think of things like this to remember how much better being a sysadmin can be: thedailywtf.com/Articles/…
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) is a program of Professional certifications awarded by Microsoft. Individual certifications are awarded upon passing of one or more exams. The MCP program itself is designed for both IT Professionals and developers. Beneath the MCP program is a variety of more targeted and focused certifications (e.g. Microsoft Certified IT Professional, etc).
Like Apple, Cisco, Oracle, Red Hat, Sun and Ubuntu programs, the certifications mainly focus on their respective product, as opposed to employment aptitude tests designed for programmer trainee jobs. These b...
@Sam MCSE, MCSA, and just about every other MC there ever was.
no, not at all - in fact the only edits I ever make to wikipedia are stupid random ones, like adding to z-list celebs bios that they have a cat called "Mister Crazylegs"
The Glory satellite was a planned NASA satellite mission that would have collected data on the chemical, micro-physical and optical properties—and the spatial and temporal distributions—of aerosols, and would have collected solar irradiance data for the long-term climate record. The science focus areas served by Glory included: atmospheric composition; carbon cycle, ecosystems, and biogeochemistry; climate variability and change; and water and energy cycles. The satellite was lost on March 4, 2011, when its Taurus XL carrier rocket malfunctioned. The cost of the satellite was US$424 mi...
did it? didn't see that, basically as so many people just default to CofE it gives the religious right all the power they want, so there's a big campaign to say "no religion" if that's actually the case rather than just defaulting to CofE
@coredump Eh... most of them are just imitating what the original black metal bands did. The church burners and such are like the real religious fanatics that hate christianity, not necessarily black metal bands as a whole.
there won't be a US when the water runs out though, that'll go when the oil runs out
Now India and bits of China, they'll run out of water a lot sooner, a third of the world relies on water that originates in the Himalayas, that'll be the mountain range whose rainfall has been most affected by global warming
@packs I love guns. I wanted one. Then everytime I think of that I think on my kid at home and the implications of having a gun, so I stop thinking about the subject.
@tombull89 Well....I'm going to do my best to avoid politics in this statement, but the stocking up started happening during the last stages of a recent US national election.
@SmallClanger On the plus side, it only takes one per person. Fewer if they line up first.
