You have to remember that this place is a magical place inhabited by warlocks and witches like those on Bewitched. You just put in an @ with the anme and sooner or later they appear.
Well, you know what they say...if you can't get someone to pay you to do it, do it yourself and get paid. You did say you know several languages. :-)
Start your own business!
Maybe he's like Beetlejuice. Try saying @Holocryptic three times in a row. Or was that the Candyman?
@BartSilverstrim Well, I started out as a programmer and one of the main reasons I quit was because I can't type fast enough to get things done efficiently
If you are root on the local system. I do suggest you consider putting things in /etc/cron.d instead of the per-user crontabs. IMO it is much cleaner to have stuff in the central location.
@ericsorenson Welcome to chat. Don't mind the starred references to cocain, bulemics and waking up next to a moose. That's not the usual... no wait, it is normal around here.
@CodyHarlow, I don't know what notify-send does. Does it depend on some environmental setting? cron tasks run with a very limited environment. So your PATH , and many other things may be different.
@packs i'm a big fan of database-driven infrastructure. extnodes isnt ideal but beats the pants off (a) trying to figure out scoping nonsense, or (b) ${my::settings::variable} everywhere
So far I've been fortunate in that I'm managing, primarily, a growing number of nearly identical systems. Which has made such complications unnecessary.
I got an email from my K-12 education Customer about looking at some "new" software. The program has a name in the form "Educational Software Blah Blah 2010", but the last modification time on the EXE is 1999 and the copyright date reported in the program is 1995. Gee-- according to this I'll need at least a 486 w/ Windows 3.1 to run this. I wish I was kidding.
OK I am going to start by saying DNS is not a good failover system in any way, you need a reverse proxy or load balancer. There are several reasons why the experience is not the same. First of all in chrome it uses The OS to grab DNS info so that is dependent on the OS for the IPs, so the OS in ...
@Jacob: I've commented a bit more on the question. You're essentially right in your answer, though I think I'd probably break up the text a bit. I upvoted you and "Deleted Account".
You hit the nail on the head w/ your last comment re: the DNS not knowing that the failed server has failed. DNS round robin is generally a bad idea. I don't know where people got the idea that it provides any kind of fail over or load balancing capability. That's just wrong. Your DNS servers have nothing to do with application availability.
It has recently come to my attention that setting up multiple A records for a hostname can be used not only for round-robin load-balancing but also for automatic failover.
So I tried testing it:
I loaded a page from our domain
Noted which of our servers had served the page
Turned off the web s...
In Mac OS X, how do I check what DNS server I'm currently using (preferably a command line solution)?
System Preferences > Network shows 192.168.1.1, which is my router's address and not the real DNS server.
@Zypher See now I have to get that internship so I can edit the rep table... Look what you've done.. Plan Internship objective edit recalc table method convince SE to give internship move from there....
@hobodave it didn't work, even with the lowest difficult setting? You know that you can change to normal or casual and then get back to the hard setting without starting again right? On the options->gameplay menu
varric inevitably will stand right next to teh boss to shoot it, getting cleaved
I've tried ranged, passive, and cautious
anders will heal the tank once, his panacea is bugged so it heals noone, and he will often run and stand next to me when I'm meleeing the boss, and this is on ranged, cautious, and passive too
my tank does well she just can't keep up with the beating
microing 4 idiots that insist on "standing in fire" is not fun
Someone on Twitter just followed me. I checked out his blog that was linked in his profile. Here's his professional bio: "I graduated from the 3 year Computer Systems Technology - Networking program in 2010 . I am currently employed as a cook at Lilly Kazzilly's Crabshack and Grill "
On ServerFault we have noticed alot of people naming their accounts Server fault,, Moderator, or new today Deleted account. This could lead to some confusion and I would like to request they be blocked. Also though I haven't seen it, I wonder if someone could sign up with an expletive or non appr...
I truly hate this place. Our power keeps going in and out... I can't even get my UPSs to work because of all the surges. I'm surprised that my server is still alive : /
You know... I always pictured them naming the ops like... they're all in a big board room around a huge oak table that costs more than I make in a year. Then as some poor guyis briefing the current plan, somebody (preferably an old guy with lotsa medals) sticks his hand in the air and says "I've got it! Operation Cajun Mousetrap." with a smug look on his face. The others get a good laugh at the press' expense and they all walk away. Another day in the PR and planning meetings.
We're kind of in a stage where "major operations" go pretty decently. The worse times are when people go out for a total of 10 minutes and get hit with an IED. The ones that are really close to where we are and so well hidden we don't catch them. Easily the worst : /
Who knows. Maybe Red Bull got a small cut so they could use the name.
there's a series of linux boxes around the world that I designed where if you looked at the first letter of each system's root passwords in server name order it spells out "BLOWJOBFISTFUCKRIMJOB"
@packs don't ever believe anything the daily mail says, it's the UK equivalent of Fox News/National Inquirer - just reactionary knee-jerk right-wing lies
@Packs: If you insist on taking Daily Mail articles as anything close to a genuine indication of what's happening in this country, I'm going to have to fly over there to give you a slap. :)
seriously, they're full of shit, they constantly have these 'cancer scare' articles, they pick something and say it either causes or stops cancer, they've actually been known to contract themselves in the same day's paper
plus they're just racist, homophobic, sexist scum who never name sources because it's all made-up - please never ever look at them again
I know I'm not a morning person so I'm probably going out of my way a little bit to share my feeling, but really?! http://serverfault.com/questions/248037/does-nmap-work-with-ipv6
@BartSilverstrim I'm talking about how gross Kesha is. I've never seen her before I saw the little blurb about her bikini thing which lead to me googling for her pictures of her... that was a mistake lol.
I would like to apologize to off of our Imperial residents. I was unaware of the gravity of the situation that I was finding myself in. I take your comments to heart and will endevour to never let such an event happen again.
@Vert I've seen the Kesha spunky-tits photos, they're everywhere, she does nothing for me and has very little intelligence at all - plus she's fucking Calvin Harris who'd shag a vacuum cleaner if he could
@packs It's no problem, just didn't want you thinking that paper had any validity, if you want good UK news the BBC, Times, Independent and Guardian are very reliable
@Chopper3 Spunky-tits photos? It's sorta like a train wreck... something I feel I need to saw, but ultimately don't want to. I have a feeling one bored day I will look for those and be disappointed.
@Chopper3 I actually follow the BBC. I went to look for how I stumbled across that article, it was linked off an Australian's webcomic. So I'm blaming him now :)
@Vert I'm not so sure that's a disappointment. For better or worse, I'm the next best thing to completely clueless when it comes to the music industry nowdays.
@Packs: I'm with you there. I went to a decemberists gig in birmingham, last week; secretly harbored some vague idea that I was being cool, getting into some unheard of folk band. Turns out their album went to No. 1 in the US.
@SmallClanger Hey, have you heard of this hot new swing inspired band from South Carolina? Squirrel Nuts, or Squirrel Nut Zippos, or something like that. Great stuff!
