This is my fourth LISA conference, and it's unique in my experience in that it is physically separated from the rest of the city by a decent distance. It's not that we're far, necessarily, but the Sheraton Marina in San Diego is situated on an artificial peninsula in the San Diego harbor, as you can [...]
@Cole Right, so mainly she's crazy and doesn't know what she wants/wants mutually exclusive things, and having your hoodie lets her tell herself she'll get it... part of it.
Don't back up the entire VM. Depending on the application, you should be able to do some application-level replication. Also just filling a VMDK file via rsync is not the same as backing up the VM. There are intangibles like locked files in use, databases (if applicable) and configuration files t...
@voretaq7 OR... wait until she goes out for drinks, pick up the hoodie and any loose cash or valuables she has lying around. That's how I got my really nice couch.
@Zoredache Yeah, not a bad idea, but with our network being the way it is, there'd be way too much collateral damage. :( I guess it's too much to wish for a spontaneous server-fire.
While laughing about how my ex is tweeting about no one will hang out with her..I realized I'm sitting home drunk with my cat. So, decided I should go be social.
Or evening, which ever your tzselect may indicate.
There's someone on their sportbike, right now, just ripping up Kings highway. They must be insane. The cold is one thing, but man, the freaking deer are everywhere.

@pauska Object Reference errors require a trip to the event log to see where in the code it's fucking up, and then looking at the code to find out what's fucking up
And unless you wrote it chances are it's not your fault
Unless it's referencing some library that's not present on the server
@pauska Fair enough, shoot an email, cc everyone important and indicate you have an urgent need to get this working. Go to bed. Wake up, eat breakfast and see where you're at. :)
@MarkHenderson Shite. I'm really interested in it since I know people who just happened to stumble into security camera systems and suddenly their business went apeshit.
I've got one place I could do a small 4 camera implementation for, and I'm thinking about doing it IP, and sending the four cameras direct to a hosted server in my cabinet.
I'd like to know if there are any linux distributions that are focused on low latency networking.
The area I'm working in is algorithmic trading, and extremely low latency comms between machines is a must. The current h/w we're using is 10g ethernet, we're looking into things like infiniband RDM...
@HopelessN00b Cure the neckbeards pointing out that the BSDs have ~100 times finer time resolution than Linux (without patching). FreeBSD gets about 10µs and Linux 1ms by default.
@ChrisS Yup, that too, though for whatever reason, a lot of these shops go with Linux anyway. If only I had a a few hundred grand to set one of these systems up. Oh well.
Pft, Windows is lucky to get better than 10ms accuracy.
There's a notable FreeBSD Foundation Donor, related to the financial industry, who gives hundreds of thousands every year... I doubt they'd feel that generous if they thought FreeBSD was hindering their business.
@ChrisS Enh, you can do a lot better on Windows. Most of the inaccuracy is to do with ntp, not with Windows itself. Of course, all the Windows overhead kills you, but I do wonder if a Windows Core install might be able to do an acceptable job in HFT...
@HopelessN00b You can do better with just about any system if you start writing custom drivers and other kernel components.... Some systems are just accurate by default though.
@ChrisS Is there a hardwarehacking.se yet? Get someone to design a good IC for this there, get someone to write my drivers and kernel on SO, get rich quick.
There's a whole college works do here tonight but as I'd like to eviscerate most of the staff here and strangle them with their own intestines, I'm having drinks with a few mates instead
whistles innocently it's not "sympathy voting" if you mention upvoting and someone finds a few of your questions they haven't upvoted on and thinks "actually these are pretty good +1"

All our desktop and laptops machines have 4GB RAM and 32-bit images - if I wanted to put 64-bit Enterpirse on my desktop it would mean building an image from scratch.
About two months ago, I started work as a full time server administrator for a small company. I have almost nothing to do. I generally work 1-2 hours a day. There have only been two days where I worked 6-12 hours in a day. I've talked to a friend who used to work a similar position and he says th...
Now, I'm not going to pretend like I work flat out 9 - 5 very often. Especially when not doing work for customers directly, but what, 1 - 2 hours of work a day for a Server Admin
Jesus, imagine a job like that - that network would be pristine
As a fellow system administrator, this time is absolutely perfect for getting your network to an absolutely pristine condition. We all know that day to day maintenance is no fun, but it's the difference between a solid, predictable network that you can be proud of and one that's no end of games.

Where the heck does that guy work? I my experience you do NOT have downtime as IT. If you have 6 extra hours per day then those are easily filled with useful work.
After a call from a customer to say that his website is down, I find that MySQL on our RackSpace Cloud Windows 2008 server was not running. I restarted MySQL but got the 'Access denied for user' error in the browser for all websites with MySQL database. When I look in MySql Server 5.5/data there ...
Power up equal beep beep beep. power down retry... repeat between 0 and 10 times
The actual beep code is not in the manual. Debug display stops at 'CPU cache check'
It started when I added more RAM, but it happens even with only the old ram installed. And I tried all six DIMMs in various combinations
Running an ES chip would have been cool. 6 core (rather than 4 in my i7 920 would have been nice when recompiling the world. A base speed of 3.3Ghz rather than 2.6 Ghz would have been nice. But a stable system is even nicer
@RobM Yeah, I'm starting to suspect that HP networking gear is designed primarily to make people hate HP engineers, and any networking capability is just an unintended die effect.
@HopelessN00b I'm beginning to think the same thing...
still this major upgrade is working better than the last minor one, which decided that overwriting its own database of our switch configs, etc, with "LOL BUTTS LOL" was much more fun than working properly
@Hennes did you use proper anti static gear when installing that RAM? You can quite easily zap a mainboard (and following sensitive components like the CPU)
Aye. I touched the case/ground before removing it RAM from its packaging and while installing it. No woolen vests etc.
No wriststrap, but no wool, proper grounding before and during meant I never had a problem with installing RAM before (and I have done that since 1991)
@Chopper3 I handled an adapter card like a twat once, but all the sharp corners really dug into my penis. Now I'm pretty good about not humping the gear - it's really hard to explain to the doctors in a way that doesn't make you come off all pervy.
@pauska MFP, though. Probably better off with a little static discharge,
