Developer: "Is it bad to have two computers with the same name on a network?"
Me: :poker face:

And by "Poker face" I mean "I will poke you in the face with a filed GBIC."

Cole

tell him he needs to name all his computers the same, with the same IP

That's how they communicate

I love cats, but mine is about to be sold to the Chinese restaurant down the street

@MarkHenderson !!!!

Mark Henderson

@cole - weekend here, don't usually hang out in chat on weekends

Cole

@MarkHenderson do you have one of those things I've been hearing about? I think it's called a life or something.

Mark Henderson

Life.

No

WesleyDavid

Steps to making a functioning TCP/IP Network:
1) Acquire hub
2) Name all PCs "Computer"
3) Give all PCs the IP address 169.254.333.333

Mark Henderson

23:04

Wife, yes

Cole

Well I have no life, or wife.

WesleyDavid

@MarkHenderson She knows I'm moving in if you should suddenly die, right?

Mark Henderson

@wes yes; she prefers you over my weird friend Kris

WesleyDavid

@MarkHenderson Does Kris know this and will I have to kill him?

Cole

@MarkHenderson well, she doesn't know me.

Then she'll REALLY prefer @WesleyDavid

Mark Henderson

23:06

@cole - var life = [groceryshopping,gardening,cleaningchildspoop,makinglunch,cleaning gutters,mowinglawn]

so if that's how you define a life, then yah lol

@cole - nah she's pretty open

Cole

@MarkHenderson better than sitting in your underwear on a Friday night, with your cat, in a chatroom full of dudes - talking about SysAdmin shit.

Mark Henderson

yeah cos I don't do that 5 days a week anyway!

WesleyDavid

@Cole Hey, I'm wearing pants. For now.

Zypher

@Cole ... the solution to that is the solution to the woman thing to :)

Cole

@Zypher What was the solution again?

Mark Henderson

23:08

fwiw I haven't been out, at all, in about 2 years. Nothing except kids birthday parties. Adult conversations in here are about all the human contact I get

WesleyDavid

My pants can be haggled over for the right amount of Cheetohs.

Cole

@WesleyDavid first thing I do when I get home, pants = off.

Zypher

@Cole put pants on, (optionally) shave, go to where women are

Cole

@Zypher hard being trans.

WesleyDavid

@MarkHenderson So I shouldn't get married then. Noted?

Cole

23:08

Can't just go out and meet ladies.

Mark Henderson

@wes the lack of life is proportion to the existence of children

Zypher

@cole not thinking like that!

Mark Henderson

not marriGe

Cole

@Zypher I don't want to get knifed.

Mark Henderson

wtf is wrong with this chat on the iPad?

Cole

23:09

@Zypher I'll probably go out more when I'm post-op next month

Mark Henderson

Keeps fucking up my words

Zypher

@Cole ah, well then, waiting a month isn't so bad

HopelessN00b

Blech, now SO isn't recommending crap. Can we burninate that site already??

Mark Henderson

Anyway child is waving sticky hands Te iMac so I better go

HopelessN00b

Hi, I've asked same question on stackoverflow and admin reply that it is an administration issue. There are also many questions here about products recomentation ie. serverfault.com/questions/40801/best-server-for-java ... so I'm a little bit surprised. — user1116589 7 mins ago

continue w/ you underwear lazying around

WesleyDavid

@MarkHenderson Hrm. Most ladies want kids though. The ones that want to be so called "child-free" are IME about as stable as a pogostick full of epileptic lemurs.

Cole

@Zypher yeah, my surgery is Jan 29th

So, I think it's best if I kinda just work on myself right now instead of trying to meet women.

WesleyDavid

@MarkHenderson Ahh, switched to iPad to keep the boss at bay.

HopelessN00b

@WesleyDavid Yeah. I'd give my left testicle for a nice, sane chick that doesn't want to squeeze out little hellspawn.

Cole

@HopelessN00b not gonna happen.

Well, maybe

First time since I've been 15 that I haven't had a girlfriend... usually it's the week or two following a break up I'm at least talking to a girl.

So, I think this is a good time to figure out what I want, not just try to get my dick wet.

HopelessN00b

23:14

@Cole Wait, there's more to want than a wet dick? When did that change?

Cole

@HopelessN00b not much, except losing weight.

I'm down 30, like to drop another 30-40

Zypher

@HopelessN00b remember one thing, all chick are insane ... it's the ones that you have to qualify w/ the word "insane" that need need to run away from ... fast

Cole

I just made farts noises with my mouth, my cat looked at me like "grow up man"

that's when you know you've reached an all time low

HopelessN00b

@Zypher Yeah, preaching to the choir on that one. Use to think they were all crazy until they graduated high school. Then I thought it was until they turned 21. Then I thought it was until they graduated college... now, I've come to accept the fact that they're just all nuts. And that even "crazy" has those that stand apart from the crowd. <shudder>

Heh, SELINUX. Love how one of the first steps in setting up a new Linux box is...

after creating a usertest I have SELINUX=disabled

Zypher

@HopelessN00b y u no kickstart and turn it off there

Cole

23:25

I hate SELinux

HopelessN00b

@Zypher Not my comment, first post in review queue. I just see that everywhere. First step in setting up/troubleshooting Linux, SELINUX=disabled. Heh.

WesleyDavid

I just want to say I clicked the wrong button on this and I am ashamed: serverfault.com/review/close/10028

HopelessN00b

@WesleyDavid Borderline either way. Sure, it's crap, but is it close-crap? Mebbe.

WesleyDavid

Okay, how do people get this successful with so few clues and where can I find people to give me $30,000 USD???

Q: Dedicated Servers

I've just started a brand new web app just a few days ago and I'm starting to run into some very serious issues. The site is growing very slow due to hundreds of thousands of hits every day. The graphs of hits is growing at a high rate and the site is currently running on a 1GB VPS which, as you ...

Zypher

23:42

@WesleyDavid he probably got an angel investment

WesleyDavid

@Zypher Yes, but how? Those people are hard to find and impress. Unless you know people. Might be the case.

Zypher

@WesleyDavid angel.co or a bank loan, or family and friends or many other ways

Zoredache

@WesleyDavid have rich grandparents family, and then borrow from them?

WesleyDavid

@Zoredache That helps immensely.

Cole

bbiab I need a nap, fucking headache
