after a lot of gags they finally pulled the trigger and it failed to execute

at one of my old jobs they laid off the whole engineering department and they were gonna ship all the h/w to the US so i made a pxeboot server that served DBAN over the network so employees could secure wipe their pc's

they were pretty pissed about that at corporate lol

if a backend server returns 504 when using nginx, is it possible to just have it auto-retry? so the user never sees the 504

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I have an old 2003 box with a scsi2 adaptec interface running old scada poo poo that is finally up for an upgrade. the new platform is virtualized and to get around the scsi interface limitations they're slapping a COM to IP bridge on the aux com port and dumping scsi. But the com port maxes out 19.2baud and obviously scsi2 can support way more than that so the operations guys are freaking out because they have absolutely no idea how much data actually flows over that link. I'm poking around in the perf monitor to find something that will tell me raw throughput on the scsi link of the existing systems but nothing is jumping out at me. Am I missing it or are there 3rd party tools I should be looking at to figure out how much bandwidth I actually need?

I used google's tool to download an archive copy of one of my gmail accounts. I received a tar.bz2 roughly 3GB in size. The tar extracts to a bit over 4GB. Inside the tar is only a 600MB file, which contains only a portion of my emails. anyone know what the HECK is going on here?

edit: problem solved lol don't use windows

trying to track down an amd gpu driver BSOD so i ran furmark. after a short time of running it the lights in this room started dimming repeatedly (dim-full-dim-full etc). is this something i should be worried about, and is there any way to fix it that doesn't involve an electrician

so when my MBP restarts (which is rare since it's a fine machine) the only user accounts to appear are mine and the guest. no other accounts appear on the startup screen. I usually have to log in and out for the other accounts to appear. I think this is a recent change and can find no configuration to change this. anyone else have this issue?

yeah that's exactly it actually. Lol I'm guessing since only tmo is affected it must be an issue with Wi-Fi calling. come to think of it the other day I couldn't make phone calls until I turned off wifi, might be related. apple implemented voip so poorly it can crash the entire os

you have filevault turned on and didn't enable the other accounts' passwords to unlock the disk.

whats the easiest way to p2v a macbook to run virtually on an imac

apparently

quote:

1) Clone the laptop to an external USB disk (I like carbon copy cloner, others use super duper)
2) Create a new OSX VM (with appropriate licensed versions of the OS)
3) During the installation process, when prompted to migrate your information, plug in the USB drive and choose 'from another drive'


That will migrate all the information off the clone into the new VM.

but i just spent 10 secs. maybe there is something like vmware convertor

im not sure what you mean by p2v but if you just want to run the macbook's install in a vm you can literally just run it off the disk (or clone it into a disk image) via target disk mode. you dont need to migrate anything, an os x install will run off of any guid hfs+ partition
