CISADMIN PRIVILEGE posted:If I want to make some nice looking technical training docs is it worth using indesign (I have a CC sub)? does MS Publisher suck horribly? does adobe still make framemaker? use that; it used to kick rear end for hardcore technical documentation

LP0 ON FIRE posted:prefect get one that's 5 GHz range and use that frequency and try changing the channels i found out that if you give the 2.4 and 5 ghz channels different names, you can pick and choose between them. unfortunately, two rooms away doesn't seem to be close enough for consistent 5 ghz connections might need to buy that super-broadcasting router that was mentioned

you can mount isos on windows 2012 with the powershell command "mount-diskimage". one of the arguments you can pass in is "-nodriveletter". if you mount an iso with no drive letter, how do you access the files on it?

my stepdads beer posted:how do i checkout a git repo that has filenames with ':' in them on windows? am I going to have to rename all of them beforehand? will that even work or do they need to be completely purged from the history it's difficult to do this on linux, too. try backslashing the colons (i think quoting the repo url won't work) edit: wait, the filenames have colons in them? i was thinking about just the name of the repo. i suspect you are in for suffering

i am not well-versed in matters of security, so i come here seeking wisdom. here's the scenario: you have a server running tomcat. it's got apache configured to do reverse-proxying and https-serving magic. is the traffic between apache and tomcat essentially available to anybody who can log onto the server? one person is saying tomcat should be set up to do https, and then apache (also doing https) should reverse-proxy for tomcat, but that seems weird to me and kind of overkillish thanks for any help you can give

another question from a person who knows less than he probably should: will ulimit kill processes that try to take up too much memory, or will it just prevent them from sucking up too much? i'm hoping for the latter

i have an incredibly stupid linux hosts-file question that i'm sure i know the answer to, but i guess those brain cells are dead now. do you need to have "127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain" in addition to the machine's actual name, or do you just need the name, and "localhost" is a magical default?

kalstrams posted:idk about pos approved version control, but if you roll with git - check out using sourcetree and a private bitbucket repo (unless you really need to host on your own) even if you were to go with github, sourcetree is still a good idea -- github's got a git client, but i've seen people have more problems using it than sourcetree

firefox keeps freezing up for like a minute at a time, and it seems to be related to the shockwave flash plugin. in good old opera 12, you could check a box for "load plugins only on demand". is there a way to do that in firefox?
