Can some please help me restore my networking, I have a VPS CENTOS6.3. Few minutes before it is working well, accept i can't connect to Yum repository. So I thought i can change some settings in Hostname and DNS Cleint under webmins network configuration. I changed the nameserver IP order (8.8.8...
I explained to her now that I've had surgery it's like "well now what?" For the past few years my life and thoughts have been consumed by all this trans stuff - now I don't even think about it.
Is there a way to determine the date and time when a disc has been written/burned with high certainty? This is about data forensics and should be a solid proof. I already tried IsoBuster, but it didn't show the date/time of the track.
If you don't trust them, you're screwed as there is not really a way beyond carbondating the disk, and the accuracy of that is measured in centuries :)
I don't understand some sysadmins. This one company has spent about $500,000 developing software with us, and this software runs their entire business. If it goes down, they have 5000 jobs that just stop proceeding and 1500 employees jerking off. And I get an email complaining that the web server is using too much CPU. FFS it's taking 2.6 million hits a day and and runs reports on 10s of millions of datapoints. What the fuck do you want?!?!!!
@voretaq7 He's not a user, he's their sysadmin. I think I pissed him off because I keep providing polite suggestions on how they ahve their systems set up wrong
i.e. I shouldn't be getting 170KB/s throughput between two ESXi servers in the same DC - for some reason their traffic is routing out through their gateway and back in again
@voretaq7 I think he got reamed when what should have been a 4 hour migration script took almost 90 hours to run because of that bottleneck in their system
@voretaq7 Well i guess if you look at it that way...
I also don't get it - they drop half a mill over 3 years to get this project finished, but chicken out over spending another $5k on a new server, or even a few hundred bucks throwing in another 32Gb of ram
Their initial SQL Server RAM allocation was 4Gb for a 120Gb database. They upped it to 32Gb but the poor server is still starved, as the database is now twice that size
@voretaq7 I'm beginning to suspect so. They under-specced their hardware and have no budget left to fix it
And the IT guy will be mega pissed of he has to spend some of his own budget to fix the hardware sizing for this project because he probably wants to buy a new SAN shelf or soemthing. Which I can relate to - it just annoys me
@voretaq7 Heh reminds me of the first problem I had with him: "Mark, that SQL server is taking all 4gb of RAM and never releases it" and then "Mark, that SQL server is taking all 32Gb of RAM and never releases it"
And now it's "Mark, when we reboot that server the RAM usage is at 4Gb and it takes 2 days to get up to 32Gb. Why have we given it so much?"
Actually or be accurate and quantify the temperature of our data: the most recent 90 days is "molten lava", and everything else is "Pizza right out of the oven"
@Jacob Go on, brag about your sub millisecond ping to the moon. I've had enough goddamn latency issues this week as well
"Mark, why is this document taking 15 minutes to print over the terminal server?" "Maybe because you're in the back waters of Shitsville, Nowhere, The Sticks and you're printing a 25 page full colour PDF over EasyPrint... oh wait, EasyPrint is making your print job into a 1.Gb XPS... i'll get back to you"
Turns out certain versions of .NET 3 on XP make EasyPrint shit itself
And managers from clients who push me to do 2 weeks of work in 2 days, and when I somehow pulled it off by pulling people from other projects, they call me up at 1.45pm before the 2pm deadline to find out "Are you done yet?" "I WOULD BE IF YOU WERENT CALLING ME"
They can go fuck themselves
I get really, really annoyed when people tell me how to do something before I've had a chance to do it wrong
If I miss the deadline, then you can call me up asking how long I'm going to be. Not before.
You give me till 2pm to do it, you don't fucking tell me off for being late until after 2pm
On a plus side I did get my toes wet in CentOS yesterday and I liked it, so that was a positive
I should really go back to Joel Spolsky and beg him for another job at FC. The work I did do for them (on contract) was fun

@MDMarra I can't find any documentation to back that up. On the contrary - I find lots of documentation about improvements for DFS-R in 2012, especially on the resilience part..
@mdmarra ah, I see now.. yep - it does not recover the jet database automatically. There is a hotfix for 2008 R2 SP1 that makes it behave the same. I hope you're aware that this is a very narrow scenario with hub-and-spoke deployments..
I was told by Evan Anderson to avoid VMWare's FT mode and I understand why. So many restrictions, so many requirements, such poor performance and so expensive
But there's nothing like being able to take a program last modified in 1994 and literally yank the blade chassis out and have it keep running
@MarkHenderson yeah, we didn't use their DRS/HA thing because it was way too new (and I wouldn't today for the reasons you just mentioned)
but the SAN replication kept choking because the "point-to-point" link wasn't. It was some lame ass Verizon virtual point to point with all kinds of "interesting" latency problems
