Small Clanger is alarmed. He sees the musical helicopter breaking up and losing its notes. Tiny Clanger gesticulates and hoots. The iron chicken on its star sees her and flaps over and collects her, scoops her up and carries her back to its star. The Clangers are even more alarmed. They wonder what will become of her. Tiny Clanger is very pleased. She greets the chicken as an old friend and gives it the jewel. They drink tea and chat interstellar small-talk. The chicken goes below and fetches her a small iron hat, with aerial and earpiece. It is their personal radio communicator.

Dec 31	answered	How do I get a SMTP session log in Exim?
Dec 28	comment	FTP performance 15x slower for tar files of binary vs. text? Text often compresses incredibly well. Pre-compressed file formats don't. Likely there's some on the fly compression happening during transfer. Are you able to see, from outside the FTP client, how much bandwidth the connection is using during transfers?

Dec 28	comment	How to update my Web site without interfering with the currently active users? Sure, you could watch port 80 traffic, but any public site is going to have consistent stream of tests, crawlers and general background radiation that it will always appear to be 'in use', unless you're a quick enough reader to be able to distinguish that stuff from genuine user traffic.
Dec 28	comment	How to update my Web site without interfering with the currently active users? Basically, you don't. You schedule a maintenance window large enough to perform the upgrade, let your users know in good time that it's coming, and try to ensure that your upgrade workflow is smooth enough that you can confidently stop the service for this period. The main reason for doing it this way is that you really don't want requests coming in while you're half way through replacing the application stack; it's a great way to corrupt your database.

Oct 22	comment	Is it possible to detect Android and iOS devices based on DHCP requests? This looks like something better achieved through separate SSIDs and VLANning. DO you have an environment where you can instruct the users of such devices to join the correct network?
Oct 22	comment	Secondary server as mirror image of primary as redundancy plan? Sorry, this isn't a good fit for our site, as it's too broad a question. Please see the FAQ for further details.

Oct 17	comment	rsync requires rsync-path when remote rsync is in path Weird. Clutching at straws, now: Is perhaps your local rsync `alias`ed to `rsync --rsync-path` (or some other local wrapper)?
Oct 17	comment	rsync requires rsync-path when remote rsync is in path If you just ssh in yourself and run `which rsync` what do you get?
Oct 17	comment	rsync requires rsync-path when remote rsync is in path Do you have any forced commands at the destination end? Anything in the .bashrc or .profile that might set a local environment variable?

Oct 3	accepted	Are bare steel floor tiles suitable for a server room?
Oct 3	comment	Are bare steel floor tiles suitable for a server room? Oh, I'm not doubting the fire sealing, just pointing out that you're right that there's no other points of airflow beyond the rack entry points, which will be pretty thick with cables. Much as I'm quite taken with the idea of starting a mushroom farm on the side, I think some ventilation will be a good thing. :)
Oct 2	comment	Are bare steel floor tiles suitable for a server room? Good points, thanks. I've got an APC environment monitor with a leak detector on. The airflow could well be an issue since the breeze block wall goes under the floor and even the cable entry points are fire-breaked.
Oct 2	comment	Are bare steel floor tiles suitable for a server room? I'd not considered carpet. I'm not keen on it now, partly because I don't trust the contractors to get the right stuff (since it was they that bought the wrong vinyl in) and I've had static problems before on tiles I was assured were "ESD safe". (Good photo, btw. I'm certain that other Vax is called 'Ernie'.)
