Anyone have the URL to the QA blog post on "What is a programmer's favourite food" being off topic and not on topic just because it happens to mention programmers
DISCLAIMER: I am not an electrician or electrical engineer.
Let's say that all I have running in my home is a 10 watt LED light bulb (nothing else). This bulb uses very little of the electricity coming into my home and most of it exits my home on the neutral wire.
Does the electricity company ...
> Nevertheless the common basic things in maintaining servers are required to be set up. Mainly you will need a container for each host to do the following:
> Entropy Generation (especially for cloud servers) — container
> Without doing so, if you are using an authentication system or SSL, entropy will slow things down to the halt at some point. Alternatively, log rotation is favorable to ensure that your server does not run out of file space due to logs.
I get "log rotation", but WTF is "entropy generation", why is it important and why not having it will allow my servers tô a halt?
Running out of entropy in virtualized Linux systems seems to be a common problem (e.g. /dev/random Extremely Slow?, Getting linux to buffer /dev/random). Despite of using a hardware random number generator (HRNG) the use of a an entropy gathering daemon like HAVEGED is often suggested. However an...
We - as in our tiny team in our huuuuuuuge Trump gesture organization - started using it as handy dev environment generators, and now we started using it in our "shadow IT" infrastructure as production envs

Our homologation env will probably be different containers in this same machine
@allquixotic Our money issues goes way beyond mere lack of it.
For instance:
Five years with a shitty Phenom II X2 and 4GB of RAM
No mice replacements
But secretaries get i7s
When law deadlines come close our team is expected to drop everything and save the world, but we've been asking for new hires for years; this year there were dozens of new IT hires, not a single one came to our team.
@JourneymanGeek Your servers at work are worse than that? :-o
I tried to install Ubuntu 16.04.(5?) today alongside Win 10, in UEFI mode. The installation got stuck after the partitioning step where it starts to install Ubuntu.
Where it got into some kind of loop, with the logs showing "Warning: Source ID xxxxx was not found when attempting to remove it" and then calling some function then showing this warning again.
Folks, if you were seeing me repeatedly launch Ys VIII, it's because I've been testing Steam In-Home Streaming.
It seems like 20 Mbps is the best compromise between latency and quality on this network...
And on the server (host) side, using Change desktop resolution to match streaming client prevents scaling artifacts from appearing on the client machine.
@bwDraco In this very specific case, yeah, I achieved the same thing thru different commands. Removed every stopped container, then every unused volume and image.
I have a such files in the current directory
Now I want to plus 2 in the file base name when the base name is even number. I mean I hope

bars/pubs: Not for me. I'm a computer-loving nerd. All I'd do is sit there on my laptop, and *if I'm lucky* not get harassed by some annoying/offensive guys. bookshops: if you're not there to buy books, you're loitering and they can/will kick you out. Their Internet also sucks. cafes: if you're not there to buy food and drink, you're loitering and they can/will kick you out. Their Internet also sucks.
non-profits? like what? seminars: I've gone to a few "conventions" for work, but work paid for them, and now they're not anymore. shows/performances: expensive, and everyone always brings their bf/gf to those hackathons: none occur in my city, or the ones that do are total sausagefests and usually way over my head (high-end data analytics and such)
cafes: as long as you buy something to drink every hour or so you are fine Bookshops: yeah these don't tend to be good places to work bars/pubs: you can buy coffee/tea in most and as long as you aren't there at 9pm on a friday trying to work no-one will harass you
@allquixotic My point here is that you can totally find places to go and meet people. If you know people nearby, you can also ask them to introduce you to others.
FFS, go to a dog park
Or like, a regular park
Or a gym. Or yoga classes. Or idk, church (??)
1. Become an alcoholic 2. Go to AA meetings 3. Make friends!
Managed to get an uncirculated roll of dollar coins from the bank. It's been years since I last got one.
(because I need them for the bus)
2000-P Sacagawea dollars. They show a bit of dirt from storage, but the mint luster is intact and there's no sign of circulation wear.
In any case, I'm not really trying to collect them. I actually need to use them.
Last I checked, the Mint still has loads of these coins sitting in storage and are slowly releasing them for circulation. They're currently minted only for collectors due to the large stockpile.
The last few rolls I got had previously circulated coins, and I've found it exceedingly difficult to even get complete rolls of 25, only getting loose coins instead.
