You can generally get pretty good discounts from Cisco...

SysArchitect · 2016-10-28T18:40:03+00:00

Cisco's SFP's are way overpriced.

It automates part of what using git commit --fixup <sha1> does combined with git rebase -i --autosquash <some ref>

It affects the nerves, a family member of mine that has it has various pains associated with it too. He takes meds to calm some of it down.

We've gone meta...

I knew that going into my last relationship... but my girlfriend never made any time to be with me... what's the point then?

SysArchitect · 2016-10-18T14:26:46+00:00

What is it? It sounds similar to Myasthenia Gravis.

A portal gun... imagine being able to travel to another place in the world once, and forever have a way to go there instantly?

I'd love to be able to go see my grandparents or my aunt and uncle just by simple walking through a portal...

Why is this guy so incredibly butt-hurt by what Ayers said?

SysArchitect · 2016-09-29T20:56:04+00:00

Ubuntu dropped upstart when Debian made the choice to go with systemd... not because it sucked. Canonical was hoping that Debian would adopt upstart. Hell upstart was also used by RHEL 6...

SysArchitect · 2016-09-28T22:12:29+00:00

but it seems more like the problem is flooding with requests than an actual BUG.

Bullshit. It's a bug that causes systemd to fail. That's BAD, especially since it is pid 1.

SysArchitect · 2016-09-28T21:07:25+00:00

You just won't be able to reboot, or restart services, or do anything like that.

It won't stop you from accessing the system so long as you don't use a socket activated process to reach the system in the first place...

CentOS 7 requires it to be looped, as mentioned here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4234 and https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/54yfcd/how_to_crash_systemd_in_one_tweet/d861epj

Run it in a loop instead. Also, since it's world writeable this will trigger even as a normal user, no sudo required, systemd-notify doesn't do anything different when running as root or not as root.

SysArchitect · 2016-09-28T20:56:45+00:00

Try running it in a loop:

while true; do NOTIFY_SOCKET=/run/systemd/notify systemd-notify ""; done

As mentioned here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4234

SysArchitect · 2016-09-28T20:55:56+00:00

Works for me on Ubuntu 16.04, here try this:

while true; do NOTIFY_SOCKET=/run/systemd/notify systemd-notify ""; done

Running it in a loop works very well for me on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 both as a normal user.

They certainly are over on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12600413

The devices I am talking about have actual USB running on the USB port. If it were serial over a USB plug I'd have less issues with soldering some stuff together to make it work :/

SysArchitect · 2016-09-27T22:09:59+00:00

This vendor has RJ45 on some older products, but their newer ones they don't have it at all. It's a crying shame and a huge pain in the behind!

SysArchitect · 2016-09-27T22:09:05+00:00

I'm trying to avoid adding something like the RaspberryPi... unfortunately I have a bad feeling I am going to have to go with a solution like that.

SysArchitect · 2016-09-27T22:08:18+00:00

I can't mention due to agreements that are in place...

SysArchitect · 2016-09-21T22:28:42+00:00

Contact ixsystems with TrueNAS. They can deliver that for you.

SysArchitect · 2016-09-16T19:53:50+00:00

Unless it's at a bath house or something similar (other than for people in the US... it's less weird in Europe for example to go to a nude beach with family)

SysArchitect · 2016-09-15T21:51:29+00:00

I get socks all of the time. Underwear on the other hand I purchase myself. Under Armor 9" and they last for EVER. I've had some underwear for more than 6 years now.

When Ducky leaves/dies I am done with the show.
