    Uptime

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    *Some of these claims seriously need pics if they are just your everyday desktop. Hundreds of days up time on a server is pretty easy, but on a plain old desktop I am skeptical. Not because of stability reasons, but updates and the such. If you refuse to update just to keep uptime high then you're an idiot.

    so, obviously, you're referring to my post..? i wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption. i get around my kernel update reboots with ksplice. sure, i have to restart X every once n a while for some crazy ass weird reason, but it's not that hard to get that uptime on a desktop linux box, imo. even if i didn't do a lot of os related updates, it wouldn't be a huge deal. if ones firewall is properly setup, who gives a shit. ya, some of it has to do with having good uptime...not going to lie there, but a majority of the reason is that i just don't have to. though, typically around this amount of uptime, i do have to reboot. so it'll happen soon ;)

    Two questions:

    -Which theme are you using?

    -Which productivity app is powering the widget in the center of your home screen?

    Android FTW!

    hell ya, Android ftw jmac! :)

    it's my Droid X running the Liberty 1.5 ROM, w/ Gala color theme (only part of that theme shown is on the notification bar tho)

    The setup in my screenshot is the Scrambble Icon set (here) - w/ LPP & custom icons for the dock of course(can't remember the name of those icons).

    Now, the todo list took hours of tweaking to get it the way I liked it. The widget itself that has all the tweaking options is called Agenda Widget. I use the tasks part of that widget which uses Astrid Task/Todo List to sync with my Google Tasks in gmail.

    What Grinds Your Gears ?

    people who say:

    "NIC card"

    "RAM memory"

    referring to their computer tower/workstation as "CPU"

    people who think their web browser is "the internet"

    & yes, that does get nit picky but drives me nuts. bite my tongue not correcting people with that stuff

    got another one ;)

    media (mostly tv media -local, world news) reference android wrong. whenever something tech related comes about they say "this will be running the droid operating system". shit drives me nuts. get it right! yes, i hate vzw for making a 'droid' name based line-up of phones, but it has somehow confused so many people to differentiate android from the word droid

    Can You Tell A Raid Setup Based Off What You See In Disk Mgmt

    Ya, I'm not surprised it's not the ideal setup. Someone else had set it up for this guy. I'm just trying to get the setup this guy has. The person who originally did it no longer wants to deal with IT stuff (wtf right?).

    Anyway, this guy thought it was a smart idea to put together this basic server (sbs2008 64bit, core2Quad Q8200 proc, 4GB mem (max the mobo can even handle)) together it acts as the DC, SQL svr, DNS svr, & the primarily used application: EMR(electronic medical record) software. yes, only 4users at any given time utilize it but still. as most know, sql alone draws like ~2gb of mem on avg.

    thx for input sparda B)

    Can You Tell A Raid Setup Based Off What You See In Disk Mgmt

    One of my embarrassing weaknesses is RAID. Yes I know what most of them are, but I haven't ever really set dug into that area heavily. I was wondering if you could tell what RAID setup one has based off this img below. Obviously, ignore the Drobo.

    Drives: C & D. It's comprised of 3x500GB WD 7200 SATA HDD's. My first thought was RAID5. Makes sense, but when I see Layout column saying "mirror", it leads me to believe it may be RAID5+1? Is it impossible to tell from the pic below? I CAN get physical access & boot into the servers RAID utility, if it'll tell me in there somehow...

    Also, if it even matters, it's using a 'Promise 4port RAID Controller TX4310'

    Lastly, when viewing drives in 'Computer', it shows C & D as each only being about 500GB
