Internet fixed bind 9. I will now run qmail and daemontools
and djbdns exclusively.
\- i installed djbdns on a machine years ago, and the machine was
never quite the same after that.
\_ Preach on, brother!

| 2006/12/22-26 [Computer/Networking] UID:45487 Activity:kinda low | 12/22 Does anyone know if there's a system call to test if a port is
availible without actually attempting to bind to it? Such a call
would be really useful for me.
\_ You could try to connect to it.
\_ You could also parse the output of "netstat -an" to see if
there's anything listening on the port. Are you sure this

variable to another variable. I constantly find myself doing something
like:
$myvar1 = $long_string;
$myvar1 =~ s/.*(regex.*)/$1/g;
and it seems silly to do an assignment followed by a modification.

is starting to donate all of his money to charity. He's boycotting
Google, Yahoo, and other mega companies because they're too big and
too power and thinks they're all becoming the old Microsoft, whereas
Microsoft has recently done a lot of good things like investing in
education and charity. He just paid for a copy of Microsoft Windows

\_ Agreed. --michener
\_ ATI has decent support. Driver/sw updates are easy to get.
I have the ATI All In Wonder 8500 and I'm pretty happy with it.
What's wrong with your ATI card?

on to soda. Does that page still exist? Can someone remind me of the
URL please? Thx.
\_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
\_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
that implemented an ssh v1 client. I think this page went away

the following?
- Windows 8
- Windows Server "8"
\_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
and went over? Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

Hall server room reorganization (we're being moved to a neighboring
server cabinet). Downtime will hopefully be minimal. --jordan

been awesome having soda actually working again.
\_ Update: this is tentatively scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

uptimes.
\_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
\_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
taught us. Everything is "stateless".
\_ You;d think gamers would care more about uptime.
