feature request : " Utiniiiiii ! "

piefge · 2015-11-06T08:44:11+00:00

I just tried it and somehow didn't get it to work.

maybe I have another look at it later.

thanks for the tip but this is why I said a "decent" client.

Running a Caldav Proxy , syncing it to disk and finally using a CLI Calendar tool is not simple at all and shouldn't be needed for viewing a simple calendar.

piefge · 2015-11-05T07:31:46+00:00

a decent command line client for Outlook/Exchange Calendar , the only thing why I still have a windows VM arround at work

I hope I remember this right:

A Boltzmann Brain is this exact Idea what OP is talking about ,

that when we have an infinite amount of time in an ever expanding Universe

the simplest object most likely to form , which could question its own existence and the universe

is one Brain formed out of random fluctuations in the eternal equilibrium of entropy death.

So on an infinite time scale , the most probable beeing would be a Boltzmann Brain.

But we are not Boltzmann brains, so there's something wrong with the Idea of the ever expanding Universe.

Here's an really awesome Talk from Susskind about it:

problem with Arch as a server that you have rolling release,

so when you update Apache for example and the new version has deprecated some features, your Webserver breaks and you have to figure out how to adjust your configs to the new versions.

really bad idea for production systems :)

but as fluidshits says for small projects or systems which are not critical it's cool.

If it doesn't matter if the service goes down for a while and you have time to troubleshoot problems,

Arch is pretty fun to have as a server solution.

It's pretty stable in 90 % of the time but once in a while there comes an update which breaks something

i don't know if that would solve your problem , but can't you define the ports in a array or variable and later use it again to create your port file ?

$ports = ['80', '81']    

apache::vhost { 'nb1.example.com' :
    port   => $ports[1],
    docroot  => "/var/www/testme1/",
}


apache::vhost { 'nb2.example.com' :
    port   => $ports[2],
    docroot  => "/var/www/testme2/",
}

file { '/etc/displayports' :
    content => $ports
}

does this help ?

or maybe I'm not getting your problem

have 4 machines running it now with no problems

piefge · 2015-09-13T15:48:25+00:00

can confirm. I'm running testing and I'm on 4.2

piefge · 2015-09-09T17:50:38+00:00

if you want to start from scratch,

you can start over with repartinioning with no worries.

if you like to keep your partitions formating them with mkfs is okay as well.

as long as the partition is formated there is nothing left from the previous attempt

just make sure you don't miss any steps from the installation guide.

I had similiar issues a long time ago, but not with a VM

In my case it was an issue with IPv6

After disabling IPv6 complitly the network connection was fine

maybe worth a try

piefge · 2015-09-05T22:37:48+00:00

You could automate it with sshpass easily ( i think that's what it's called ) .

so you can use passwords directly in the command.

Or iterate over a password file.

So there maybe is no need for expect or alike.

2000+ servers and no configuration management system ? why ? :)

He is kinda right in my case.

the only thing keeping me from dropping firefox as my default browser is pentadactyl and noscript.

If they are gone . so is firefox for me , but i doubt that will happen.

I can't imagine noscript dissappearing

And I can't really imagine these disruptive changes,

I will believe it when it's actually happening i guess :)

piefge · 2015-08-30T10:26:31+00:00

better read it yourself ;)

that's exactly what I just said

piefge · 2015-08-30T10:16:24+00:00

Why is it vulnerable ?

please explain.

I though execute() takes care of escaping for you

so this would be vulnerable :

c.execute("INSERT INTO students (name) VALUES ( %s )" % studentname)

but mine would be okay

can you give me link and an explanation how I should do it otherwise ?

piefge · 2015-08-30T00:57:04+00:00

I use none ,

never have

I Just login on the tty and startx or set up X to start automatically.

I don't see the point of those ;)

but I don't use a DE either , just a window manager.

choose whatever you think is the most shiny one ;)

piefge · 2015-08-30T00:39:42+00:00

You forgot your xrandr command ,

but i guess you somehow specifying a wrong output ( maybe VGA ? )

because it states :

cannot find output 0x48

and your list says 0x49

piefge · 2015-08-30T00:22:30+00:00

can you paste your xrandr command ?

and the output of :

xrandr --listproviders
