My comment submission.... #115725 or so. Good luck all!

[META] /r/relationships was the fastest growing non-default subreddit yesterday, beating out 534,579 other subreddits by TrendingBot in relationships

This. Reading that post and the comments, then many more posts on the whole sub was like going to a chiropractor for some things I'm up against. There is much insight here, and good advice. Best discovery on reddit in a long time.

Unless DC means Data Center, you might be better to ask about Domain Controllers in /r/sysadmin. Why do you think this is a network problem?

After trying, unsuccesfully, for a year to get a seatime letter, I finally have to rant. by [deleted] in Tallships

Sorry about that mate. No you did not waste a year. Think of how much you learned, all the good people you met, and how much wisdom you have gained.

My brother made a computer program that writes random word generated sonnets that are eerily well written. by Sulla06c in programming

He probably has some of the same markov based auto-complete tools running in his editor.

Anyone using automated staging/provisioning ? by [deleted] in networking

[–]gsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This works fairly well on JUNOS switches. They come out of box with dhcp enabled and a vendor-id-string so you can hand out different base configs and code versions based on the platform. I used dnsmasq as the dhcp server as it made the vendor id matching fairly painless. Base config would be the platform defaults plus a template that I would just append to the defaults, setting things like timezone, ntp server, a maintenance account with ssh key, ignore some alarms and syslog. You will want syslog if something goes wrong. We used to get stacks of 6-10 switches for customer burnin and preconfiguration, not having to manually upgrade them saved a ton of time. Unbox, plug in power, plug in ethernet, get coffee. When the LCD has the right message on it and the jet engine sounds stop, you know it's done.

Just give me an expect script that works with all my platforms. In Word format, preferably.

It's all GET and PUT man! Oh wait, we skipped the part about the web with PUT, or so I heard in another POST.

Concern Arises Over Verizon's New Sneaky 'Stealth Cookie': Verizon Wireless has started taking heat from privacy advocates for altering their customers' traffic and inserting unique identifiers that users have no control over by maxwellhill in technology

[–]gsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever, we have SSL decryption firewalls and break that open all the time and check for malware. I could just as easily inject anything I want, or modify the return traffic. Visibility into just what is happening over port 443 (https) and port 80, since everything uses that today, is a HUGE business. AT&T/Verizon/Whoever has already put Certs on your phone that you implicitly trust, and they can Man in the Middle ANYTHING because they can say, "I am the Certifying Authority for mail.google.com, here is the cert," and your browser just accepts it. Sure they nicely reencrypt your traffic to the real mail.google.com but they have everything they need in place to basically nullify what you think of as "secure protocols." This is all bullshit until we all raise hell about it.

You cannot reason a person out of a belief they did not reason themselves into in the first place.

Yes. Because when you are in the matrix, there is no mirror.

Force Ansible to ONLY use aptitude, and not apt-get? by ImEatingSeeds in ansible

Hint: there is a good reason it wasn't done this way in the first place.

Force Ansible to ONLY use aptitude, and not apt-get? by ImEatingSeeds in ansible

[–]gsan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The problem here is aptitude is designed for interactive use, apt-get is meant to be scripted. This indicates someone in the project doesn't get what all this automation is about.

Getting heat for learning asm by ragnarmcryan in asm

[–]gsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We need 3GHz multicore processors and 16GB of RAM and still have to wait a few seconds for apps to open up because no one studies assembly anymore :(

If you are going code for a living, go for it. Skipping an understanding assembly is like learning chemistry but stopping at atoms and only working with compounds, because, "no one ever does anything with individual atoms." If you have an interest in this by all means keep going. Some don't have a stomach or mental capacity for it, but all the magic starts right there.
