anybody got any experience making web scrapers in linux?
i got a scraper made with c#+awesomium (ugh at the name) and i want to make port it to headless, gui-less linux. i want a browser engine but i don't want to install xserver, wayland, qt, or gtk. i just want dynamic html+js and they don't even need to render. the site i am scraping is doing some crazy ajax gymnastics with obfuscated js so doing the requests by hand is way too much effort.

any ideas?

maybe i am dumb but why would you want RAID in software ala ZFS or BTRFS all my servers have a hardware raid controller already

Feb 24, 2001

so you run your software raid on your ec2 micro instance or whatever which is backed by SANs already in some kind of RAID like configuration? so the benefit is?

Ubuntu Install: click install along existing operating systems.

I've yet to janitor anything in /etc, or run a command as sudo that wasn't apt-get. The only reason I was trying fedora was because there policy of trying to push all changes back to upstream.

Edit: take that back. Had to add a directory to ldconf because lxqt rightly installed its libraries to /usr/local.

agreed ubuntu's installer is miles ahead of fedora's. but then ubuntu is terrible while fedora is pretty good. ps don't use kde you weirdo.

and pacman is better than both of them but Arch does the whole rolling distro thing where they immediately delete old versions of their packages and MOOOOOM WRITING CHANGELOGS IS BORING

Changelog:
updated to version 3.4.1b

the iOS app store has this issue too. every single app has "bugfixes and improvements' in the changelog. lazy fuckers.

in the past, nvidia's driver patched flash to make calls to gettimeofday return a fake date under certain circumstances since it made the renderer run faster. when chrome changed how the flash sandbox worked, this broke all websites: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16800

i think ansible is less-good than the alternatives, but almost any tool is better than no tool

ansible is comparable in power/flexibility but has far less recipes than chef or puppet and ones available on galaxy mostly target ubuntu, the server os for clowns.

my new favourite thing is using ansible-playbook --check --diff on the servers my co-workers are allowed to touch and seeing all the little things they change in the live environments and then shouting at them :3:

ansible's error messages are pure garbage though when you make a syntax error in yml. especially when you increase verbosity to try and find out where and it gives you more verbosity about the ssh command and not the parser

I'm aware it should not be a tough problem. I am not the sysadmin in charge who bought our GoDaddy hosting plans.

I am working really hard right now to get the website back up. It's up without SSL at http://endlessm.com . Unfortunately, there was a 301 Moved Permanently to the SSL site, which means that you need to use private browsing to access the actual site.

your sysadmin is bad and you should feel bad
