Tavern on the Meta

@Zypher I have 5 servers, 3 CentOS(because its teh right OS for teh jobz) and 2 that run windows for some other stuff... Too bad they just act as space heaters :(

Zypher

philosophy should never have anything to do with your infrastructure

it should be all about putting the right server behind the right code

if it's c# you've got a windows stack, if it's PHP you've got a *nix stack

on and on

@Zypher GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! IT'S FIXED

Zypher

haha

Jacob

@Zypher well my grammarz hits teh floorz, thatz bad?

Zypher

ye yes tis bad

Jacob

/Me hates Zabbix very much, if only Opsview would work right

Zypher

@Jacob what doesn't opsview do?

or you can just run Nagios :-D

Jacob

12:24 AM

@Zypher the web UI SUCKZOrZ

anyhow

On CentOS it doesn't run because they hate RHEL...

On ubuntu it just says opps it has dependancies no dice; but the manual says no worries it'll install those

Zypher

ha

install form source .. it's good for ya

Jacob

@Zypher Hell NO! it has like 900000000000000000000 dependancies to install

Zypher

haha like i said good for you :)

in MY day we didn't have package managers, and the onese we did trashed the system. we compiled from source and LIKED IT

:-D

George Marian

@ircmaxell IIRC, there is an option to remove config files when uninstalling a package.

Jacob

true but I'm not working/getting paid so easiest method wins; if I was working/getting paid I'd do what it takes...

Zypher

fu amtrak

while your stopped we'll just go ahead and zip a second train by

on a 4 track wide section

Jacob

@Zypher atleast you have your lappy; how long is the battery life?

Zypher

got an hour ten left

normally get about 3.5-4 hours out of it while running the screen bright and the 3g card

i can streach it to about 5 1/2 if i turn down the brightness and not use any radios

Jacob

@Zypher My MBPro will do 5 full bright; 7 if I run dark

AMtrak needs power ports

Zypher

not on amtrak

which is why i'm mad :)

oh yea if you sit in the right spot you can snag a power port

although i don't trust the power ocmming out of it

Jacob

LOL how much longer is your ride

Zypher

1:14 AM

i should be gettin on the train 5 mins ago ... grrr

probaly another 10-20 after they let us move

Jacob

@Zypher HOLD TEH PHONEZ your not even on it?

Zypher

no i'm on the NJTransit train they stopped to let amtrak trains zip past us

Jacob

@Zypher so you can get on the other one?

Zypher

haha nah

Rebecca Chernoff

Tim Stone

1:15 AM

@Zypher It's a Jersey thing.

Zypher

Jacob

Zypher

Jacob

@Zypher Better find a power point

Zypher

Jacob

1:17 AM

@Zypher So WTF are you on battery?

Zypher

Tim Stone

You may or may not get mugged along the way.

Zypher

@Jacob spotty power

Jacob

@TimStone Zyphers one hell'va dude no one would mess with him

Zypher

Rebecca Chernoff

1:18 AM

so...now taking bets on when @Zypher gets home.

Zypher

Jacob

@Zypher Thats why we insurance for these things... how else would I feel safe bring a MBPro to a American Public high school

@RebeccaChernoff 10 bucks on 1AM EST or later please

Zypher

yes, but if it fried i'd then be stuck on a train that is going th wrong way without a laptop

Tim Stone

I'm going to guess this adventure will add an additional 27 minutes to his trip.

Jacob

@Zypher Well your battery would be drained anyway?

Q: Blogging platform for private/family blog?

I am trying to setup a blog to be used for our family. This blog will not be open to the public and family members will require a username and password to enter the site. I had originally settled on Wordpress with some content restriction plugins but I am beginning to question that decision. So ...

Rebecca Chernoff

1:20 AM

@Jacob duly noted!

Jacob

Migrate to WebApps?

Tim Stone

I don't trust @RebeccaChernoff to take my bet though, because I found out she already tricked me earlier.

Rebecca Chernoff

o:

I did?

Zypher

@Jacob yes, but i have an hour till i have to worry about that :)

@TimStone you let @RebeccaChernoff trick you... tsk tsk

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff I was sitting here and went "Oh snap, I bet she scheduled the WordPress THC, better get working on that script..." and then I clicked through to find there wasn't going to be one, heh.

Zypher

1:21 AM

haha

Tim Stone

@Zypher I know, what have I become?!

Zypher

rough week at work?

Rebecca Chernoff

hehe

Jacob

@Zypher Why do you live so far from work; move or telecommute much?

Tim Stone

@Zypher I've actually been slacking a bit, in what I'll refer to as an "extended birthday break"

Though I've used most of that time to rearrange my room which... looks around ...could be going better than it is.

Jacob

1:23 AM

I need money to turn my room into a NOC

Rebecca Chernoff

o: Happy birthday?

Jacob

that'd be AWE...SOME

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff Thanks? :o

I'm beginning to think that I have too many things in one room...But that probably won't stop me from installing the extra circuit for my mini fridge.

Zypher

@jacob long story moving in a few weeks

and no i commute about 90% of the days

Tim Stone

@Zypher Are you moving before or after the April 6th meetup? :P

Zypher

1:26 AM

@TimStone hmm hangover mabe?

Tim Stone

Zypher

haha, unknown at this time

hahaha

although ill probably be in nyc at the time of the meetup

Rebecca Chernoff

Meetup \o/

Zypher

Tim Stone

@Zypher Unfortunately not, I sat at home playing games I think.

Rebecca Chernoff

1:26 AM

@Zypher oy

Zypher

hmm damn i'm outta ideas then

Tim Stone

I'm going to claim temporary insanity.

@RebeccaChernoff \o/

Zypher

fair enough

Tim Stone

Maybe I'll just move the meetup to my university, problem solved.

mootinator

Send me the votez.

Tim Stone

1:28 AM

loads vote gun

Jacob

UGHH I want to work for a company for justification to turn my room into a NOC with like 3 monitors on the walls... Otherwise I just start monitoring SE so lights appear

@TimStone loads bigger vote gunz

mootinator

^_^

Tim Stone

That just sounds dangerous.

Jacob

@TimStone let me run my danger equation

X+Y= Danger

X is current danger

Y is added

.00+.01=.01 Danger

:P

Tim Stone

Speaking of my birthday several minutes ago...I should have some more cake.

Jacob

1:35 AM

UGHHH I need an internship somewhere before I go mentally insane; No @Zypher this isn't a plead for one from SE; :|

Zypher

Tim Stone

1:38 AM

The best thing about cake is probably the fact that it's delicious.

Jacob

@RebeccaChernoff Mobile? yeah right!? thats not mobile

Zypher

hrm don't tempt me

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff And it's on sale, how convenient.

Zypher

Zypher

haha

Jacob

@RebeccaChernoff I need to do a study on woman and this thing called a "sale"

Rebecca Chernoff

1:41 AM

?

Tim Stone

@Zypher Had I known meeting new people was as easy as a form letter, I would have been all over that ages ago.

Jacob

Hypothesis : Woman buy things simply because they are on "sale"

Zypher

haha

woohoo FORWARD

of course we had to go one station back .. but you know it's all good

grumbles

Rebecca Chernoff

@Jacob make sure that you take notice that I did not notice it was on sale until after @TimStone pointed it out.

Tim Stone

@Zypher "Unfortunately, @Zypher then realized that he had been sitting in rear-facing seats the entire trip"

Rebecca Chernoff

1:42 AM

LOL

Zypher

lol

Rebecca Chernoff

sounds about like him (;

Zypher

nope forward facing all the way today

Jacob

@RebeccaChernoff noted; results unchanged

@Zypher Sexual euphemism much?

Tim Stone

@Zypher Don't take that abuse! IP ban!

Zypher

1:44 AM

damnit was trying really really hard to keep this convo clean

Jacob

@TimStone I have a /28 of IPs... Do I need to rotate?

Zypher

i spent a good 5 mins figuring out the best way to make a really horrible dirty joke

and had to stop myself

Rebecca Chernoff

hahaha

Zypher

@Jacob pfft /28 we've blocked whole /16's before

Tim Stone

Well, in @RebeccaChernoff's case, she's on Uverse, so she's lucky she has a connection at all. I don't think he has to worry about her jumping around much.

Rebecca Chernoff

1:46 AM

wait, what about me?

Oh, you meant ip ban me?

Jacob

@Zypher I'll make a phone call and switch, right now I am on their SB /16 I can switch to their transit block?

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff Yeah, the timing was off.

Zypher

haha

Rebecca Chernoff

lol

Jacob

@RebeccaChernoff You have crappyverse I'm so sorry...

Zypher

1:47 AM

@TimStone already done that

it wasn't as entertaining as i thought

Tim Stone

:D

Rebecca Chernoff

LOL

Jacob

@Zypher OHHH WAIT YOU CAN't block my /16 because sysadmin is on that resi block too :P

Rebecca Chernoff

I simply moved to being annoying elsewhere (;

Zypher

meh he can email his /32

:)

Jacob

1:48 AM

@RebeccaChernoff So whats your capp on junkkyverse?

@Zypher DHCP :P

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff You should annoy someone about not fixing my StackApps bug!

Zypher

@TimStone what's going on with stackApps?

Jacob

It changes faster than Josh changes his name

Zypher

are you on GAE?

Tim Stone

@Zypher No, no, it's like the most minor, isolated UI bug, hahah.

Zypher

1:49 AM

oh ... well then i won't tell you i'm already on it

Rebecca Chernoff

@Jacob I haven't seen anything in my account about a cap.

Zypher

@RebeccaChernoff they don't TELL you about the cap

sheesh

Jacob

@TimStone Weren't you asking Josh(unknown what ever the hell this week) for hosting for you SE apps?

@RebeccaChernoff DO YOU NOT READ ANY TECH BLOGS?!?

Zypher

@Jacob he can only change it every 30 days

i should force him back to josh

Tim Stone

Not I, I'm well-covered in that respect. :)

Zypher

1:51 AM

just for s'n'g

Jacob

@TimStone Yeah basically, I offer FOSS projects free hosting because I have WAYYY to much server power for my useage

Tim Stone

@NickCraver Damn man, do you ever stop working? You're a machine ;)

@Zypher Hahah

Rebecca Chernoff

@Jacob I know it's coming, but last I read there was going to be a section added to the online account to show you current usage and tell you what the cap was?

Jacob

@Zypher SNG?

Zypher

@NickCraver will stop working when i take down his build server

@Jacob Shits N Giggles

Jacob

1:53 AM

@Zypher You don't take down my stuff :P

Tim Stone

@Zypher Hopefully someone will remember to come unlock him from his chains then.

Zypher

haha
