search for: debunked

I am currently a college student looking for ways to prepare myself for any Server Administration job once I get out of college. I've been going back and worth between Freenode IRC channels (#linux and ##windows) trying to decide what to learn. On one hand, we have Windows Server 2008 R2, people in #linux keep on telling me to just go ahead and use it because "samba can't provide

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of lexical scoping as a way of increasing confidence in your execution models. I am hoping to move from the now thoroughly debunked "wackyscope" model that used to plague many programming languages over to proper lexical scoping in my puppet configs. I''m just having trouble finding documentation of how this works for puppet. I understand that a lexically-scoped puppet config would need to use parameterized...

This message is for those who wants to help Wine project but do not know where to start. We need contributors of a wide range of skills. The minimal requirements are: access to a computer with Linux (or other Unix-like system) where you can use Wine. We have a lot of tasks which are relatively easy to do. The fact that these tasks are easy does not mean they are not important. Examples of the

Hi, I'm sending this mail here as I think it is of interest for at least europeans amongst you. The event presented below is not commercially-oriented, but really of interest for professional Asterisk users. in two weeks (9&10 october), the event "Asterisk and VoIP in enterprise" will take place in Brussels, Belgium. It is organised by Profoss ( http://www.profoss.eu ) to

While waiting for a compilation I was reading Debunking Wine Myths (http://wiki.winehq.org/Debunking_Wine_Myths#head-b7ba8535e8210369749ee2940a7f2bceac4d8ea2)... Nice read (there are really some crazy people....) until Myth 14 where I read: ``See also: Myths 6 and 8.'' There is not Myth 6 and 8! It is a mistake or some kind of joke? In the latter case... care to explain?

...Google search for "pf cone nat" returns somewhat depressing results: apparently it's not even possible to configure pf to act as an EIM-NAT, and people asking for such an option are basically being told to go away with demonstrably weak security-related arguments (which can easily be debunked by pointing out that NATs and firewalls have different goals, and that providing endpoint-independent mapping does not preclude endpoint-dependent *filtering*, which would still allow UDP hole punching to work). But I digress. So, I'm afraid there's still work to be done to ensure that tin...

...about the ssh, but it references only another vnc server. so, is the only way to get an ssh connection is to download a windows vncserver, and connect with that to the vncserver on my linux box? (box is on the internet, not local) anyway, this helpful how to really saves a lot of time, really debunked a lot of myths about not needing a desktop installed (which was really furstrating trying to make it work without one). Centos 6 is a bit different in that one file...and it would be great to know how to connect though ssh with a viewer. still, it freaking works!!

I have a partly damaged CD, from which I extracted 192Kb/s Vorbis files a while ago (before it got damaged) and I'd like to get FLAC files. `cdparanoia' extracted most of the data from the CD, but there are some holes due to the damages. How could I fill those holes in my FLAC files using the Vorbis files? Stefan

Hi everybody, I'd like to try implementing a pass that transforms all functions (and function calls, returns, etc.) to CPS, so that TCO can get rid of all (or most of) the function calling overhead (because, as you probably know, the side effect of using CPS is that all function calls become tail calls). That being said, and since I'm pretty new to LLVM, I'd like to ask a couple

...ugh NIC2 will not catch the packets because the source address, at the time, is 0.0.0.0. If I force a specific IP to be routed through NIC2, then that IP can connect successfuly to the server over NIC2. I''m looking for possible solutions, but so far have only found one to have it later debunked. I have considered NAT, and determined that it won''t work. I can''t DNAT from IP2 to IP1, for reasons still not entirely known to me. For some reason DNAT from IP2 to IP1 doesn''t get any sort of response from the server. Even after I have removed ALL firewall rules. I can...

DBAN is obsolete. NIST 800-88 for some time now says to use secure erase or enhanced security erase or crypto erase if supported. Other options do not erase data in remapped sectors. Chris Murphy

Hi, I thought I remember seeing somewhere on the Asterisk website a card that had 16 ports fxo or fxs, that was user selectable with straps on the card.

Hi! I am doing a lapply and for comparaison and I get that for is faster than lapply. What I have done: n<-100000 set.seed(123) x<-rnorm(n) y<-x+rnorm(n) rand.data<-data.frame(x,y) k<-100 samples<-split(sample(1:n),rep(1:k,length=n)) res<-list() t<-Sys.time() for(i in 1:100){ modelo<-lm(y~x,rand.data[-samples[[i]]])

a specification will _eventually_ be used, by someone, to tell the user they are doing things "wrong", won't it? and doesn't that turn markdown's genesis upside-down? heck, next thing you know we'll be telling them to r.t.f.m. i would prefer that implementers get more sophisticated about teasing out the user's intent in "ambiguous" cases. of course,

Hi! The Netfilter project proudly presents: nftables 0.6 This release contains many accumulated bug fixes and new features availale up to the Linux 4.7-rc1 kernel release. New features ============ * Rule replacement: You can replace any rule from the unique 64-bits handle. You have to retrieve the handle from the ruleset listing. # nft list ruleset -a table ip filter { chain

A thought occurred to me to on how to further quantify the impact of "glare" on a properly dimensioned trunk group and debunk the ground start glare concern. A cursory traffic analysis clarifies: 1. Assume you have a two-way trunk group, dimensioned for average busy hour, average busy season for P01 grade of service, Erlang B or Poison distribution. 2. Further assume that the
