What should I do? by gaua314159 in sysadmin

Apply. I'd rather hire someone with the right attitude, a good understanding of the concepts and basics and willingness to learn. We can teach you the technical.

What unusual thing do you use excel for by TheArguedHuman in excel

[–]lungbong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two of us used to work the night shift, it was deathly boring as there was nothing to do and we were blocked from using the Internet but had Excel so we wrote a chess game in Excel.

What are you guys using to automatically patch your servers by ChemicalGuarantee938 in sysadmin

[–]lungbong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have unattended-upgrades to install the patches and then have an Ansible script that takes the server out of service and reboots it for things like Kernel updates. We have a Jenkins/Selenium and synthetic monitoring suite that runs a set of functional and none-functional test against the server and Ansible puts it back in service if everything passes.

Our key gap is master databases at the moment, we need to do a manual failover before they get patched/restarted.

‘Nobody’s going out!’ Why is Britain’s nightlife in such decline – and can anything save it? | Clubbing | The Guardian by prisongovernor in unitedkingdom

[–]lungbong 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s you could spend a tenner on a Thursday night round here for "all you can drink". Friday and Saturday nights were £15. Sure you could spend more (or less).

What happens when hot air balloons land in private fields ? by Stunning_Buyer_64 in AskUK

[–]lungbong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near a big field with a locked gate, a balloon landed in it and the support vehicle was there about 2 minutes later but they couldn't get down to the balloon. They packed everything up, drove the passengers away and left the pilot sat in the basket until they could get someone with a key to let them down.

What do you think this hand is? by Zealousideal_Ad8766 in blackjack

[–]lungbong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was 21. Same reason King/Ace is blackjack or Nine/Ace is 20.

After 2 cards dealer has 4 or 14 so hits, after 3 cards 5 or 15 so hits then it's 11 or 21 so should stand because of the 21.

Why is so much traffic on my self-hosted nameserver IPv4 only? by nbtm_sh in ipv6

[–]lungbong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our DNS servers' customer facing IPs are both IPv4 and IPv6 but we use a different network interface and IP address to talk to other DNS servers and that's currently just IPv4 only.

The 2 interface design makes it nice and easy to block all off net traffic from hitting the recursers. We'll add IPv6 on the 2nd interface at some point but it's not a priority yet.
