I often find job postings from third-party recruiters (a contracted personnel company, not an in-house recruiter) that do not list what company the job is for.
Why do they do this?
@JoelESalas Were you on the other day when I was contacted by a recruiter for the position that I'd applied for at $job[-2] that was filled 3 weeks previously?
The quality of content coming in needs to be drastically pruned. I remember a few times where Iain spot-checked all of the questions on the front page, and over half of them were consistently from users with almost no rep on SF, but a lot of rep on SO or Programmers. This is a continuation of the...
@Adrian A good friend and I both, independent of one another, read the first 300 pages, gave up, then picked it up about a year later and read it straight through.
@Adrian It's still his newest book IIRC. Just give it time, or put yourself on the SPL waitlist (it's probably one of those where you're #120 for one of a dozen copies).
@MilesErickson I'm on the waitlist at Twice Told Tales. Somebody from Seattle Central will buy it and trade it in. Then I buy them as hardcover on the cheap.
@MDMarra Nice! "We need a Summer of Relentless Massacre."
I have Ubuntu 12.04 host running Linux 3.2.0-24-generic, libvirt 0.9.8-2ubuntu17, qemu-kvm 1.0+noroms-0ubuntu13. Host uses elevator=deadline, guests use elevator=noop. All KVM guests use virtio, no caching, io mode default, and LVM logical volumes as storage. I use bonnie++ 1.96 to evaluate IO pe...
I've built a number of these "all-in-one" ZFS storage setups. Initially inspired by the excellent posts at Ubiquitous Talk, my solution takes a slightly different approach to the hardware design, but yields the result of encapsulated virtualized ZFS storage.

@oberstet that's only for fetch (and it tells you what to do about it in the error message). Also to be blunt I don't think you know the requirements of freebsd-upgrade better than the dude who wrote it (he's been doing this longer than I have, and he's pretty good at this whole "write stuff that doesn't destroy the universe" thing), but if you really think you know better it's just a shell script -- You can copy it and hack to your heart's content to make it behave how you want... — voretaq78 secs ago
So I got conned / guilted into doing this charity run thing for my company team. Even better, I had to pay for the privilege. Let the ridicule begin.... Now.
@gWaldo BTW re: your meta answer, it's not so much that I think developers can't ask good questions, it's just they're not qualified to ask the questions (it's like when a user calls in with a bug report and all they can say is "The widget doesn't work when I click on it!" -- they may actually be trying to help, but they can't formulate a description that can actually be answered
@MichaelHampton:This is not learning material request or service request or product.I just ask what other collegues. Not what is the best to buy or compare products etc — user766781 min ago
For example, Tom O'Connor and Joel E Salas are two Devops guys that bring a lot of value to this community. They're not Sysadmins by trade but they bring good, on-topic content and participation here. The guy that asked about why his ASUS consumer router was causing his CPanel sessions to disconnect...well that's another story. — MDMarra1 min ago
I really do think we need to re-scope server fault to be narrower than "IT Professional". It's unfair to new people who come here and go "I write web pages. I'm an IT professional" and then get whomped because they never bothered to read the Apache docs...
@MDMarra I would argue that Devops guys are sysadmins
I've been doing devops since long before devops was a term
@gWaldo well we do want it to be slightly broader than that. SAs, network admins, guys managing desktop environments (NOT the end-users), DBAs to a small extent, web hosts if they're really web hosts...
This is a Canonical Question / FAQ Candidate to help our new users ask better questions,
and hopefully get better answers. Similar questions:
How do I get better answers?
How can I get people to fully read my question?

I think that there should be two sections. The first qualifies whether or not you should even ask (are you a professional). The second should qualify whether what you're about to ask deserves to live.
so I have two apache servers on the same system.
Basically what I'm trying to figure out is if since I have 2 different IPs running on my system is it possible to have two different apache servers running on different IPs but using the default port(80) so the user doesn't have to specify the por...
@MDMarra Every place that I've been with more than 12 people (basically anything that wasn't primarily a Dev-shop) considers Developers to be part of IT.
What would be a good option to troubleshoot an interaction of browser with a server besides wireshark?
I mean being able to see what the browser sends and receives.
Is firebug a good alternative or is it only for css and the html useful?
@gWaldo Frankly when I was a junior admin it was made explicitly clear to us that if we went to the boss with a question, the answer was in the documentation, and we weren't bringing the documentation with us there would be consequences
there's an extent to which we frankly need to be iron-fisted tyrants (as politely as possible)
and there will be people who scream and bitch and complain about it, but as long as we can show them why they don't belong, and as long as the tone on the main site remains professional when we do so I don't think that's a problem.
@tombull89 The FAQ isn't really meant to be read so much as it's a usenet-style "This is why you're out of line" tool
(it's also not supposed to be a blunt instrument in that regard, but it's something we can point to so every fucking closure isn't a drama fest on Meta)
and there are some sites where every fucking closure is a drama fest on Meta
I occasionally get the feeling that on my vps account, one busy php script, like an image processing script, can hog the server and almost completely stop all other page deliveries for its duration. As if the server has to wait its completion before doing other stuff. Is this true or do php scrip...
LUnix, short for "Little Unix", is a Unix-like operating system designed to run natively on the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 home computer systems. It supports TCP/IP networking (SLIP or PPP using an RS232 interface). Unlike most Unix-like systems, LUnix is written in 6502 assembly language instead of C.
The first version of LUnix was released in 1993, the current version 0.21 dates from 2004. Amongst others, it supports preemptive multitasking, unix pipes, a variety of protocols like TCP/IP, SLIP, PPP and RS232, dynamic memory management and virtual consoles. It contains a web server...
In that case use the approvals response package. "Have you fully evaluated the risk matrix and FMEA associated with this change? How do you think the updated risk matrix and FMEA will make the auditors feel?"
(that's a trick question of course: Auditors don't HAVE feelings!)
they simply have a job to do - If your company is compliant with the relevant standards/regulations/laws their job is really easy and they're very pleasant. If your company is a shitpile their job sucks and they hate you for making their life harder.
That's one reason I get on so well with them, I think. Once you realize they're there to see if you follow your own standards, and they're there to measure not judge, things go much better.
@MDMarra I think we need a simple test along those lines, but we'll still get whining "But I am the net admin for our company, and we're on a tight budget so I need to run my company's web site and ERP system on a Win7 desktop machine. Don't just tell me 'get a real server'!!!"
The key with closure or downvoting as an enforcement tool as there needs to be some feedback to the user -- the forthcoming changes to close votes (including custom per-site close reasons) will help with that. — voretaq742 mins ago
@MichaelHampton Could be multiple flags with different reasons, I think when a mod acts on a flag, they only get to approve one reason. Maybe someone else flagged as "not an answer'?
@MichaelHampton Not sure why it was declined (it is a shit answer), but I wouldn't delete the answer based on a flag (because it does answer the question - it says "cPanel fucking sucks, you can't do it unless you step outside the walls")
but flag weight doesn't mean anything anymore anyway so don't sweat it. we mods are a fickle lot.
@JeffFerland UW has so many SysEng openings that they've created a "catch-all pool" for SysAdmins and System Engineers. The problem with UW is that it takes them 4 months to get back to calling you.
FFS!
I ordered hard drives Tuesday afternoon w/ 2 day shipping. They haven't shown up. The bathroom scale that MiLady asked me to order last night w/ 2 Day shipping just showed up....
Stupid bathroom scale gets here in under 24 hours. Hard drives are MIA and the FedEx guy already came by to do her other box off...
my own personal suggestion...I like that there's the "red numbered alert" at the top of SF, but why can't it just update based on your "activity response" to it? For instance, if it says "5" and you click on it and see the 5 updates...if you click on one of them the rest go away to "Inbox" instead of it now showing 4 updates.
@voretaq7 No, that's strictly forbidden in this state. Due to some unfortunate incidents in cough Enumclaw, we have some of the tightest laws in the country concerning such things.
From the Wikipedia page:
The checksum field is the 16 bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of all 16-bit words in the header and text.
Why, after summing the 16-bits in the header and text, is the one's complement taken to compute the TCP checksum?
@JoelESalas We used to have syslog accepting logs from a bunch of stuff and using, uhm, SEC to alert about certain conditions... (but grep or perl were frequently used)
