Good ol' Seinfeld :) Love my mornings +1! nsd is great. i just audited my home network and even though i have a few sshds open on a few random high ports (did a full 64k sweep of my blocks from outside) and none of them alone would grant entire access to the network, same with most other services i run then i looked at my VPN that grants access to EVERYTHING.. even the NAT networks how i oversighted that beats me and i should be stoned, beaten and shot in that order? with how im feeling about my epic fail, i really dont care :p i've mitigated it now, but im sat here wondering, has my network been compromised the VPN was in use by some 3rd parties lawdy lawd i hate this process everything seems fine, but it's a case of looking for something missing rather than something present logs are emailed regularly, they seem consistent local and remote, aide isn't spotting changes in critical files... but you can never be too sure only another 8 hosts to rifle through m0unds: has your ssh been better? yea, hasn't dropped at all today last 4 days, i would disco from most irc networks, ssh would drop, monitoring would go nuts, etc availability for the last 4 days was less than 93% i don't run anything critical on this vps though, just hobby & personal project stuff http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/screens-go-Google-at-the-Digital-Signage-Expo.html wondered how long it'd take for them to get into the ad kiosk game oh irc duh :) yea, i have my irc sessions in tmux, teamspeak, couple of webapps, nothing important at all essentially the stuff i used to run at home but had no desire to have at home anymore (electricity bill sucks, cooling sucks, etc) yeh there's mitigation of sorts on there now. does any one else have an issue where they open way too many tabs on chrome? making it hard to even see the little icon showing you what site that tab represents nah, i subconsciously start a new window and add tabs to that yes mnathani_ oh i open windows and tabs so i don't have that issue i just find chrome starts getting really slow running apache: whats the best way to redirect /smokeping to /smokeping/sm.cgi without creating a loop? Redirect /smokeping/?$ (Apache supports regex, right?) At least, I think Rewrite does, which should do the trick for you i used alias i think and just had it in directoryindex brycec, staticsafe - you guys happened to notice elevated steam invite spam lately? nope ugh. i've rejected 15 friend requests today, 9 yesterday all profiles with steam level 2 or lower and no friends or game activity m0unds: I didn't used to get any, then I made my profile "public" for Christmas (so others can see my wishlist), and I started getting spamvites every other week or so. Certainly nothing as bad as what you're seeing. Though it's probably mostly to do with what groups you're in i'm only in a couple groups, pruned most away. profile is private. whats the max memory that can be tested using : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 Memtest86 :: Memtest86 and Memtest86+ are open source memory test software programs designed to test and stress test an x86 architecture computer's random access memory (RAM) for errors. Each tries to verify that the RAM will accept and correctly retain arbitrary patterns of data written to it, and that there are no errors where different bits of memory interact, and there are no conflicts between memory addresses. Description... Max memory modules is 64, so 64*whatever the largest memory module there is I suppose I have 32 Gigs on this server I want to test no idea how much an individual module is 32GB is fine is a module like a stick, or like a chip on the stick I've done it stick. ok thanks 32GB is "nothing" I thought you were talking hundreds of GB the x86 portion threw me off, making me think 32 bit and 4 GB max support but I think the x86 is more for intel architecture -x the name is just "86" (no x) http://imgur.com/SVhaDZ8 m0unds: do you get people wanting to trade all the time on steam ? mnathani: that'll be 36gb oh i thought you said 37 32GB is nothing :) people don't normally go above 96gb with ddr3 because sticks bigger than 8gb are expensive, and filling more slots gives worse performance. isn't opteron 2736 ddr2? That's what she said!! mercutio: opteron 2376 you mean oh probably, i couldnt' cut and paste :) memtest has a new fancy version with uefi but it seems to default to non smp mode it seems you musut have toggled smp on you realise those things will use a lot of power right? power is included in my rent oh :)
