dare we ask what sort of idiot hellfucker setup you have which involves lots of windows systems but no active directory?

i'm gonna guess it's a testing cluster for some install process that requires a fresh install but they don't want to just use a VM that they rewind for some dumb reason

do Seagate external hard drives still fall apart? Amazon has a 5tb external Seagate on sale for $129 and a 4tb WD for $131. I know their reputation is not for reliability and the last Seagate I had died within 6 months taking my vast collection of Linux ISOs with it, but I also know WD puts lovely drives in their external boxes too.

if you need a reliable hard drive, get several, use raid 0, and don't neglect the thing

or join us in 2015 and just don't store all those files locally

I am coding a nodejs that has clustering. because of the clusters, multiple ports are used when doing remote debugging. is there an easy way to make intellij idea always listen on all of these ports instead of just a single one when doing remote debugging?

can't you put the chrome debugger in a nodejs instance and use that instead of idea

I dont normally use nosql bc i tried it out for a while and it was loving garbage, but I've finally run across a database structure that is much better suited for it; very graph-like. I have a very hierarchical tree like structure starting w/ a single root node and making tons of leaves w/ more leaves, dividing into a million different structs, which then reference other leaves from other branches. what db should i use for this?? mongo cant handle it bc it has a limit for doc size. This db struct is probs going to be about 3gb as a bigass tree and idk what nosql trends have grown to be actually useful products. I originally tried to put it in a huge json string and just load it into mem when i want to browse it, but js caps string lengths to like 150mb or something and doesnt let u use up as much mem as u want for regular objects. buffers are the only way to bypass those mem limits. so im p sure any javascript based db's are not going to work

realtalk though: mongo is garbage, since you have a graph you want to store maybe check out a graph database like neo4j

i have a linux. the linux has a bunch of php. I want the php to execute a node script using exec(). it gives error 126, permission denied. node got installed to root user bc node.

how do i tell php (www-data) it is allowed to execute node without making the server into a pile of garbage dumpster trash?

chown www-data:www-data /path/to/node
and
chmod 777 /path/to/node
doesnt give it permissions. i just want to run node script from php the correct way on a linux

i think it's software for people who say "i want software to do this" but don't understand that "this" is so you get a lotta consultants

and confusingly their thing is that they're not "software" but just software you pay monthly for
