@Iain also true I guess -- I could think of a lot of places I've seen immutable flags applied that were logical to the organization doing it but are totally off the wall to any sane person
@HopelessN00b Look at dmourati's answer as an example of why it probably sin't great. serverfault.com/a/442416/984 If a answer like that can get upvotes, the question seems bad to me.
@voretaq7 Looks like a good one to me. I see quite a few in the queue though listed off-topic and I wonder if they're getting flagged because while U&L is a better fit, they're not actually off-topic here.
@Zoredache Enh. A dumb answer like that can get upboats on any question. Need we revisit the "what to do with an accepted answer that's clearly wrong?" thing again?
@HopelessN00b Are you kidding? Frankly, I'll consider us lucky if we only come out of this ass-raped. We really don't matter compared to SO's ad revenue.
Fscking Devs. Won't let me admin their boxes but they come squealing to me when their shit breaks because they don't know how to fix the crap they set up.
On a slightly related note, anyone who names their product after a common word needs to be shot in the nuts. And then the face. Yes, I mean you, "Good" Technology, you fucking ass-clowns.
@ewwhite Being useful is overrated. Only leads to being asked to do things. This is why I aspire to be useless and overpaid. I'd make a great executive, to that point.
I'm pretty much turning down positions right now where I'm "The Guy". Fsck that noise. I want to work with a team and learn something instead of being the person everyone depends on 24/7/365.
@Adrian That's called being smart. I was that guy for way too long. Never again. You want me to be your "the man" 24/7/365, gimmie the CEO's compensation or GTFO.
@HopelessN00b I told the HR flat out that I've worked 1600 hours in 5 months for a project and have no interest in repeating that. Judging by the tone that the meeting started with, I guess rightly that they wanted to pretty much own me for the duration. And frankly, <$100k ain't much in SanFran.
If I relo'd there, it would be an effective pay cut.
@Adrian <$100k ain't much anywhere, IMO. It's just especially true where the cost of living is high.
@Adrian Plus, if they start out wanting to work you to death, fuck them. Who wants to work for slave drivers... who aren't even smart enough to hide it a little?
@HopelessN00b Some places are picky enough and are in low-demand areas that they can get away with that. Portland being one of them. Lots more IT talent there than jobs. Seattle less so.
@Adrian Well, it's that pay now or pay more later thing. I've been the guy who had to cleanup after the previous admins hired at places like that. (Guess I still am, but at least I'm not alone this time.)
@ewwhite Yeah, Dryside. Cost of Living is pretty ridiculously low, but that would involve ditching the GF. She doesn't ever plan to move to someplace with LESS culture than Seattle.
Tri-Cities would be like living in Pheonix without the thriving nightlife. =)
Your VPS's are hosted at QuadraNet/IPTelligent which is currently banned due to excessive blogspam. I e-mailed both providers and asked them to intercede, but they have ignored the request. The ips will remain banned until they've reported that they've taken corrective action.
@gparent Yes, but @Pete's still the guy you have to convince. Send an email to us or update your meta post if you've been able to get in touch with your host.
Alright, time to apply a registry hack so iPhone phucktards can receive email again. But nothing can possibly go wrong, it's only in `...\NTDS`, on the domain controllers. Wish me a catastrophic meltdown (for 100 billable hours between now and Monday.)
I am looking to set up a share storage for our servers in data center.
Environments:
4 x Citrix XenServers (Free version) will be running around 30 VMs. Some VMs are heavy websites that have 5GB per day traffic.
We consider getting a Supermicro Server(dual power) and install FreeNAS/StarWind ...
