We have a really strange issue with recently installed DNS server.
No matter which request submitted, it always returns 1.1.1.1, until the whole server is restarted. Restarting only the DNS service doesn't help.
After the restart, the issue returns after some time.
Has anyone encountered this,...
I've been working through some of the review queues when I get a few spare minutes, but have a bit of an issue with the Late answers from new users queue.
It's consistently one of the largest queues, and I often struggle to help reduce it because, many of the answers look okay, but aren't worthy...
@MichaelHampton Yeah, and I'm a bit of a softie, but 50%... that's just ridiculous. And considering we've had the mods reverse three on meta publicly in the past couple days, I think it's safe to say there's a quality problem with the natives being too VTC-happy.
Today I clicked on Review and saw the message below.
You've failed too many recent review audits - looks like you might need a break. Come back in in 7 days and try again.
Why does this type of message appear?
Is there any daily limit to viewing reviews on Stack Overflow?
@WesleyDavid I, along with Lucas Kauffman, hammered through nearly 8K of the Low Quality queue, well before there were badges to be had. I did my earnest to vote/flag/skip accordingly. In the interest of full disclosure, he bested me by over 500 reviews.
Though, since the whole "downvoting too much is evil/toxic/whatever" thing, I think the mods have kind of lost any leg to stand on in the "a VTC is not a super-downvote" argument.
@MichaelHampton Honestly, it kinda surprises me that a network Joel started would fall for the same problem with metrics that he writes against himself... but yeah, you get people behaving to meet the metrics, rather than what the metrics are supposed to be measuring.
@MichaelHampton Yup, well he called it out in 2006 (and I've seen another blog post or two of his on the same thing), and damned if he wasn't right, right?
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, see the FAQ for guidance.
@ewwhite I get the "script it" part... but I don't know every Linux command available, is that crappy? unprofessional? I know the question probably doesn't deserve +5, but is it that bad?
@jscott The guy probably asked the wrong question. If he actually has some real requirement that the permissions and owner be changed at the exact same time he should probably be asking 'for a method to atomically update the owner/permissions' instead of asking for a tool.
knowing that chmod and chown cover it, I would do this in two steps... knowing that many Unix commands get stacked|combined|whatever, it's just the natural flow.
@ewwhite Ok, I think we're agreeing on that then, yes, I would, and would expect a PFY to, script it. But is the question OT? Not constructive? I don't think so.
Maybe I need to review the recent reviews before I review. I may be losing touch with the community's present standards. :)
Well, I've got to run to the store and get SWMBO some skittles and peanut butter filled pretzels. I do trust that you all will sort this out before my return.
I have to stand by my NC vote on that one. There's no One True Right Answer, as far as I can see, and the multiple "right answers" are likely to generate debate as to which one is the One True Right Answer. Hence, not constructive.
I'm experiencing some significant performance issues on an NFS server. I've been reading up a bit on partition alignment, and I think I have my partitions mis-aligned. I can't find anything that tells me how to actually quantify the effects of mis-aligned partitions. Some of the general inform...
The performance problems I don't think are relevant to this question. My question is not "please help me solve my performance problems", but rather, "please help me better understand the effects of partition mis-alignment so I can decide for myself if it's related to my issues." — MattDec 11 at 2:21
I've just noticed the new rep/vote counts look different, and not in a good way (IMO, obviously people will disagree).
What else has been changed, and is it permanent?
My goal is to configure our CentOS ("free" RHEL) 5.x servers for custom low-latency network programs. I would like to experiment with binding ethernet NIC interrupt handling to the same CPU on which the program runs (to hopefully improve cache utilization). The first step in this process is to ...
Hey guys, this here is flag worthy for offensiveness, but all of our mods are well into their bed times. Please pile on the flags and let's hope the auto-derete takes care of it.
suck my dick hgfdhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgfhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
@WesleyDavid I refuse to do anything about that. I already made myself look like an unreasonable jerk by misreading a question earlier tonight. I will not stoop to putting a link to the wikipedia article on VPN as a comment.
@ScottPack When it's beer:30, such minor concerns aren't mentionable. Looks like my co-workers floated one of the company kegs this evening. It's no longer showing on the internal web page.
Yeah. Especially in the summer. And we don't get much snow, though it incapacitates the city when we do. The whole place is built on an incline and there's no much flat grounds.
use radius server and enable pass tickets for your customers. best thing to do Is to purchase wireless usb sticks customization to wright a radius and hide the file on the usb wifi device. the most secure way to offer your customers the very best security is by using radius access tickets. this w...
also their are ssl devices you can purchase that are costly but secure up to 1000 customers others that can support up to 20k subscribers. my suggestion if that is to go for barracudas ssl solution. also costly. but then again it is the same as radius server certificate method. both are what we ...
Does either of these actually answer the question?
@MilesErickson Yeah, I'm really quite happy. The full-throttle GoGoGo starts in a couple weeks and we pretty much work 18 hour days when on-site, but it's fine living when we're home. They don't keep folks around as contractors very long though, so the big big money won't last forever.
Yeah, Stack Exchange has entered the Endless September Summer of Love...
Hm, let's see... If I setup OpenVpn on a server and... Ok, if YOU set it up then you're a home user and you should GTFO.
Your question does not appear to be on topic for Server Fault as written. You may find certain aspects of your question better asked at some of our sister sites, such as Super User or IT Security. Be sure to check the site's FAQ prior to posting to ensure that your question is on topic, and search for existing questions as well. (Oh, I didn't downvote either...) — Michael Hampton1 min ago
@Adrian None of those three things, or all of them combined, is mean. Have fun with the SF trifecta.
The ServerFault Trifecta is a downvote, a VTC, and a snarky answer. The Superfecta is those three, plus getting your answer deleted. The TomTomfecta is those four, plus getting banned.
It's like the Gordy Howe Hatrick: Goal, assist, fight.
@Adrian It was less about the number of downvotes, and more about the hive-smacking of dropping bad main-site questions and comments in here for the sole or majority purpose of calling in backup.
I did it a lot. I'd see a dipshit comment on an answer, or a comment war, and want to get some backup in on the situation so would post a link to the comment expecting some other big names to show up and weigh in. That was just silly of me; I see that. I accept that. I am mending ways.
@WesleyDavid Yeah, I think I'll pass. There's legitimate reason for dropping a question in here. And if that otherwise innocuous activity is now persecuted, fuck it.
thin is a Ruby gem, so it only makes sense that the Ruby interpreter would be running it.
A typical invocation of thin would be:
bundle exec rails server thin -p $PORT -e $RACK_ENV
In the process list, from the ps command, this appears something like:
6870 pts/3 Rl+ 0:01 /usr/bin/ruby...
@ScottPack Seriously, though, if you were going to do that with a programming language, wouldn't you choose Ruby? It's either that or C, depending on how you like it.
@ScottPack Indeed... anything that uses gem or cpan, good luck building it from scratch if it was written 2 years ago and doesn't work with the current version of (whatever).
Hey all i am trying to figure this out here.
I have 3 PC's that are hooked into my router which i have a static IP for. I am currently hosting a web site (ex: blah1.com) on the 1st PC but have yet to connect PC 2 and 3 up to the network.
That one PC thats online is using port 77. I direct all 8...
If the elections were like the MS progress bar, in two hours you'll get a notice that the winner could not be determined and we'd have to have an entire election all over again.
@MichaelHampton Who the hell uses IIS? Oh, wait, StackExchange.
@MichaelHampton Does IIS even do name-based virtual hosts? It must, somehow... but all I remember in the pointy-clicky-makes-you-sicky IIS manager is that each site has a place to configure the listening port.
@MichaelHampton Ah. Yup, there's a way, and yup, it's stupid.
