| 2005/3/11-14 [Computer/SW/Mail] UID:36650 Activity:low | 3/11 Why does trn keep crashing? It seems if I leave trn idle for about
5 minutes when I try to use it again I get an "unexpected socket
close" error. This started maybe 2 months ago. What's up?
It's making it difficult to multitask newsgroup reading. -jrleek
\_ The message means that trn's network connection died. You could
try mailing news@agate asking them not to use such an aggressive

newsgroups in 2 days.
\_ I assume agate is among the computers affected by the planned power
outage. Can anyone confirm?

| 2003/1/5-6 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:26995 Activity:moderate | 1/5 Why aren't newsgroups working?
\_ because the news server is off/not-accessible.
\_ power is off in Evans this weekend, maybe the
news server happens to be in Evans

news server?

but it doesn't seem to be on agate. How do I get it added?
\_ send mail to usenet@agate asking for it. I've found them
to be quite responsive.

| 2000/4/17-18 [Computer/SW/Mail] UID:18039 Activity:high | 4/17 Agate appears to have dropped carrying a newsgroup I read (in the soc.*
hierarchy), or at least is having problems. Who can I contact to get
this fixed (or at least find out that it won't be fixed)?
\_ Agate doesn't support soc.queer.geeks.sexless
\_ Boy that was weak. Huh huh huh, you said "fixed" huh huh huh
\_ The guy is obviously reading a sex group. It was

| 1999/12/8-9 [Computer/SW/Mail] UID:17023 Activity:high | 12/8 I've been getting this error while reading Usenet with trn on soda:
"trn: out of memory!". It seems limited to groups with lots of (more
than 1 million) messages, no matter how many are current or expired.
Is this a trn problem or an agate problem? Thanks. --dim
\_ both. agate had a bunch of corrupt indices that trn
would choke on. some (maybe all) of the indices have

| 2012/8/29-11/7 [Computer/SW/Security] UID:54467 Activity:nil | 8/29 There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
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

| 2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 3/15 Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
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
\_ Thanks for all your work keeping the machines running! It's
been awesome having soda actually working again.

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

Just kidding! (I hope)
In any case, this means that cooler was taken out back and shot, and

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.
