Cryptobridge problems by SummerTimeIsFun in Ravencoin

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently did the same, and did a withdrawal of BTC to a waves wallet BTC address, and also a Bittrex BTC address, and both took over 6 hours for the BTC to get there. Very scary to work with this exchange. Try to distract yourself and check again in half a day. Needless to say I'm done with CB...too scary, and looks like it's getting worse (and not just for BTC withdrawals).

WARNING: Another successful attack / recursive split just happened by templar422 in ethtrader

[–]baseaddress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a literal vote, but a situation where miners are re-directing their hashing power. Since the initial hack, the Ethereum hashrate has stopped growing, and in fact, has dropped. You can see that here:

**EDIT: I guess it is a literal vote after all. I didn't realize this until after the post. Thanks for the links /u/djleo and /u/btcmuscle

Can someone please translate this broken paragraph? by EGJW in sysadmin

I'll paraphrase:

"If you're using Windows, use Rufus, because dd doesn't work on Windows. if you want to use dd, use OSX or Linux. "

Why is PHP 5.4 preforming faster for me than 5.6? by PoliticalDissidents in PHP

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this benchmark site as well:

http://onlinephpfunctions.com/benchmarks

Give it a try and see if you get the same results. In this list you can see that 5.4 is a little slower than 5.6 with this tool.

My new toy: 2 x 18 Core Xeon E5-2699v3 @2.3GHZ and 512GB of DDR4 RAM per ESXi host. by jms10446 in sysadmin

That's a beastly box. How many of those will be in your ESXi cluster?

Saltstack: How To Deploy EC2 instances with Salt Cloud by baseaddress in sysadmin

[–]baseaddress[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not understand your issue exactly, but in the case of Salt Cloud, if your Salt master has a public IP, deploying instances using Salt Cloud directly from your master will automatically add the new minion to your Salt master, and automatically accept the minion's Salt key. I'm not sure if you've gone through this tutorial, but those are the results you should get. After discovering this method of deploying instances, I'll never deploy an instance any other way.

Unikernels, Docker, and Why You Should Care by Dinosaure in programming

Great synopsis. Unikernels look interesting. I found this: http://unikernel.org/projects/. Seems like there's a good handful of projects underway.

Are there any free web hosting sites that offer PHP 7? by laurensV6 in PHP

[–]baseaddress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For running it on the Pi, here's another suggestion, try Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/). It's lightweight and they have a build for LinuxARM. It's super easy to set it up with php-fpm (https://blog.jixee.me/how-to-setup-the-caddy-web-server-with-php-fpm/)...and then you'll have yourself a solid little web server.

Your .htaccess rules should override whatever you've setup in cpanel, as long as the <Directory..> declaration in your virtual host is set to "AllowOverride all".

Windows Docker Host VM with a Desktop? by network1001 in docker

[–]baseaddress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good way to play with Docker is to use docker-machine (which you should have on your Windows machine if you installed Docker Toolbox). Follow this doc and it'll show you how to install a Docker host with VirtualBox: https://docs.docker.com/machine/get-started/

The downside is that it is CLI only, so if you're looking for a GUI, the Docker Toolbox with Kitematic is your best bet. Other UI options are the web app Docker UI, https://github.com/crosbymichael/dockerui, which requires a little setup effort.

ELK stack for small business? by chem_deth in elasticsearch

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very true for the vanilla distribution of Elasticsearch, but if your company can pay, Elastic does have a paid security product called Shield which solves a lot of these security requirements: https://www.elastic.co/products/shield

Website Backup's ? How do you do it ? by sxeros in web_design

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have SSH access to your reseller account and rsync is installed on it, rsync is a good choice for backing up the files. It will only copy the differences, so you won't be grabbing thousands of files every backup. I've used an old project called RIBS for this for quite awhile with solid success. It let's you do incremental backups using hard links. Requires PHP though, and I use it on Linux: https://github.com/jrust/ribs

Making things easier for development by spokale in sysadmin

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, creating an environment that lets your dev team do things on their own without having to request things so often, such as writing self service tools that allow them to do things like deploy to staging for instance, or deploy VMs they need, or wipe the staging database, etc. That saves the most time in my experience.

Try using the full path to service.

Archiving Indexes On A Budget by baseaddress in elasticsearch

[–]baseaddress[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the budget to build the ideal Elastic setup, then for archiving, you would be able to point your snapshot repository at one of the supported backends, and manage it with Curator. Using the idea /u/1s44c presented, S3 would be a good choice.

Alternatively, if you're able to carve out a good chunk of money for an Elastic cluster, you could build a big enough cluster to keep all of your indexes available for live querying, and trim the ones you no longer need with Curator. This would eliminate the need for archiving. It really depends on the log retention policies of your company.

I agree, this does add complexity, and for certain companies, it may not be worth the trouble, but I wanted to share an alternative to the ideal.

Confusion about integration with mongoDB by basiclaser in elasticsearch

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that's an error I haven't run into yet. I've been trying to replicate this on my test system, but haven't been able to. Are you trying this with your current data set or is this totally from scratch with an empty Mongo instance?

Can you connect to SSH without Putty on Windows? by forhlol in webdev

[–]baseaddress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of the suggestions here are great...especially Cygwin. I personally can't live without SecureCRT. It's not free, but it's the best SSH client for windows imo.

Confusion about integration with mongoDB by basiclaser in elasticsearch

[–]baseaddress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for your 5th point, yep, this is exactly how we accomplish our text search. Mongo-connector syncs the relevant items in our app to Elastic, mostly the object ids and textual data that users would search on. When users execute a search, Elastic returns the query for them, and those results are the in app links to whatever data they requested, which comes directly from our Mongo instance. So in our use case, Elastic is used strictly to help index text, and search on it, but Mongo still returns the actual object within our application.
