I really have a hard time buying the idea that the US Military was looting planefuls of gold out of Viet Nam and antiquities out of Iraq.  At the scale the US government operates at, neither would be worth their time.  Not to say the US motives were pure but spending $3 trillion to look a few...

Yeah, those people in Antarctica are JERKS.  Every single one.

You're right - I didn't mean to sound anti-Sunni - not my intent.  I should have said ISIS instead of Sunni. Sunnis are such a huge population in the world - all the way from Morocco to Indonesia.

Semi-unrelated trick - in many scripting environments, the slash is arbitrary. For example, in vi and perl (and probably others) this is valid and works...let's say to replace all instances of http:// with https:// s#http://#https://#g Makes reading regexes a lot easier and avoids...

So I read: US forces occupied a country with a history of political instability Insurgents hostile to the West, partially based in an adjacent country undergoing a civil war,  are surging once we've pulled out of the country The client regime begs for support The client regime is thoroughly...

Well my thread is back, but you'll have to be an IPS customer to see it... http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/401069-was-hosted-ips-hacked/ Long story short, no explanation.

Holy merde...11 days and so far the only announcements were from clients and not IPS?

Not that I've seen yet.  I'll be very interested to know if this was a security failing at IPS or a bug in IPB. IPS's hosted communities are pretty generic cPanel hosting, though you're only allowed to host IPBoard.  It could certainly be some kind of OS-level hack, cPanel hack.  Heck, it could...

DNS/WHOIS shows that Evernote's discussions are hosted by IPS using their hosted communities. I asked in the IPB forum if they'd been hacked and the mods there deleted the thread without comment, so... ;)  $ nslookup discussion.evernote.com Non-authoritative answer: discussion.evernote.com...

Someone did some detective work and came up with a number of 500,000ish for Amazon EC2 in 2012: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/amazon-ec2-cloud-is-made-up-of-almost-half-a-million-linux-servers/10620 It may have doubled since then. Microsoft could be half that. Any small business (with...

Azure can run Windows or Linux - they have quite a few Linux images to choose from.  CentOS and Ubuntu but not Debian. If you spin up a Linux VM, you'll need to open port 80 (and maybe 443 for SSL) as an Endpoint.  Think of Endpoints as an external firewall.  If you're sending email, you need...

Why would you ask that?  It doesn't really seem to have anything to do with his question. I swear some people get off on Defender of the Law ego trips. To the OP...you might use sshfs

Makes those storage VMs really attractive if incoming bandwidth is free. Though the disk thrashing on those guys has been rough sometimes...

Isn't what you're asking something like: #!/bin/bash first_script.sh second_script.sh third_script.sh ?  That will run each in sequence.  Or if you don't know the names of the scripts in advance: for script in `ls /some/path/*.sh` ; do ${script} ; done If you care about order of execution...

Is that the "is this command going to nuke my directory even though I've checked the flags 5,000 times" fear? If so... rsync --dry-run

I've never done this.  I always pull from the backup server.  That way if Server A is compromised, they can't just nuke the backups.  It also allows me to schedule all backups in one crontab instead of many.   Downside is you can't do something like "Do mysqldumps and then run rsync" on the...

Something like this: 1. Make sure rsync package is installed - e.g., apt-get install rsync 2. If you want to run it out of xinetd, make sure xinetd is installed and set to start at boot. 3. Change 'disable' in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync and restart xinetd 4. Setup /etc/rsync.conf like this: max...

Perhaps I misunderstand nice.  My perception is that it works like this: - let's say you have 100 processes - let's say you have 100,000 ticks of the clock in a given period of time - the processes with a higher priority will get a bigger share of those ticks. So if you have two processes...

You can use nice :-) NAME        nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority SYNOPSIS        nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...] DESCRIPTION     Run  COMMAND  with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling.  With no COMMAND, print the current niceness...
