@coredump, yes, that is true, and they have poor tech support. But if you can manage to run your own domain without hand holding, and don't care about the tons of spam and up-selling on their web site, they are cheap and get the job done...
But you'r mission, should you choose to accept it, is to understand the deep, grimy underpinnings of the OS. The problem with most Windows admins is that they have a surface understanding of what's going on.
And yes, if fun is a factor, I'd rather know Linux which I'm doing right now.
I'm toying with looking for another job, when frankly I should be busting hump and looking for another job. And I'm thinking of trying to look for a consulting gig somewhere to broaden my exposure.
I'm tired of spending 3+ hours on the road at $4+ a gallon
It cuts into time I could spend studying, or sleeping, or any number of other things.
About getting the internals of the OS: with time and C, you can get to know how the whole thing works on linux. That said, I will go watch some TV. Bbl
Today I ran into a limitation of robocopy that just might have bitten me in the past and I never knew it. I got pulled aside to ask my opinion of how a robocopy of a large filesystem yielded no errors in the robocopy log, but differed in file-count by 6 files. The user was able to identify a directory with a file that got missed, which helped. The files in the directory were named similar to th…
Bah, even if I was straight, I've screwed up friendships before by having what was effectively a one night stand with them. I won't be doing that again any time soon with friends I actually care about :)
Put the kids on an IPv6 only connection.
That way, they'll only be able to get to a handful of websites anyway. Mostly the good ones, Facebook, Google, Youtube..
As I recall that was going to be the Great Motivator to actually pull people over. More porn than you could ever want, all free, and only available over IPv6.
This was, of course, back in the days before trivial access to tunnels.
Like each item comes with a predetermined bin preference, but also some other rating that must be evaluated.... So you can ignore the bin preference? Or you do the rating and bin preference??
So does each item have an unequal weight? For instance if there are two bins that fit one item each, and two items with the same preference for Bin A. If I put Item1 in BinA, and Item2 in BinB; does that have a different total optimization than Item2 in BinA and Item1 in BinB?
I was just about to suggest something like Find all items with Primary Pref for BinN; select Items with least uniq Secondary Pref; pull Tir Pref in ties. It's been a few years since learning this stuff.... I really enjoyed it, but haven't used it much since then.
I don't like many things, but I hate nothing more than hardware that work correctly on windows and fails on linux. Simple hardware, like a stupid bluetooth dongle.
Last week I sent out a cry for help concerning the 2011 10K ServerFault challenge. Several people responded offering their skills and ideas and as I dreaded, I had to make a difficult decision. Before I tell a bit more about the final decision, let me say thank you to those who offered their help. One of [...]
Hello,
this is the first month in my new company who charged me to make a case study for our backups.
Actually, only directors can access to the backup server hosted into the company, each one is allowed to backup only 50GO.
What we try to look for :
Backup our informations daily (we have ab...
I made a sweeping general statement about Eastern Europeans. As I don't know many Eastern Europeans hanging around here, it's probably safe, but...meh.
@DanBig Me too. I'm sure women would say that I have some kind of unnatural fixation on boobs. My response to that is that they probably have a small chest.
@Holocryptic should be -- if all his zones are AD-Integrated he shouldn't have lost any data, and presumably his other DC is currently running DNS so there should be no interruption of service.
We've got two iPads at work... I can't imagine getting one for home now that I know how limited the darn things are... I found them very frustrating for getting any work done (other than Angry Birds).
@voretaq7 I didn't... That's why I commented about how dumb it would be to only run one in my answer to that question.... probably the case given that the OP seems like he rides the short bus.
I have a problem in one of my shell scripts. Asked a few colleagues, but they all just shake their heads (after some scratching), so I've come here for an answer.
According to my understanding the following shell script should print "Count is 5" as the last line. Except it doesn't. It prints "Co...
@ChrisS yeah I don't have the coordination for that - I can barely handle the yoke & 2 pedals - two sticks and two pedals is certainly beyond my limits :-)
@ChrisS jah I got what you meant :) One of the guys in my ground school was going for heli - I think everyone gagged when he told us what he paid for hour to rent the little R22
@voretaq7 Yeah, it really depends on where you go... The places that rent for profit charge an arm, leg, and kidney... If it's just someone trying to recoup costs then you can get them a lot cheaper.
@voretaq7 I'd only recommend the kits to someone with plenty of time and mechanical skill. Otherwise it'll end up 1/2 assembled and never finished. Having friends to help is a big plus too =]
@Holocryptic They need specific dhcp options to find the voip server etc.. I've provided all of them, but they still default back to LLDP after 30 seconds of searching for DHCP
