8/24    Server naming schemes for the 21st Century:
        \_ A coworker used ex-gf names.
           \_ "We need a new server provisioned"
              "Damn it, and I really liked my current gf, too..."
        \_ Name of room, type of computer, and main use of server, separated
           by underscores?
           \_ How psychotically lame can you get..
              \_ Yeah, imagine how totally lame it would be if IT people
                 valued usefullnes above cuteness.  What a fucking concept.
           \_ kitchen_uwave_pr0n
              \_ kitchen pr0n??  Oh HELL yes!  BRING IT ON!
                 \_ let's just say rotating food won't be the only display
                    option on your microwave anymore
           \_ That's what cnames are for.  (Prefer Culture ship names, myself)
        \_ racial slurs
           \_ how many are there in English?
              whitey
              honkey
              nigger
              kike
              wetback
              spic
              wop
              chink
              nip
              gook
              towelhead
              sandnigger

              nm wikipedia is way ahead of me:
              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_slurs
        \_ terrorist organizations
        \_ guilty celebrities who beat the rap
           \- Nick Byram and I came up with Lebanese Factions as an
              OCF Nomenclature Proposal ... we might have been slightly
              short of 20.
        \_ guilty celebrities who beat the rapa
        \_ guilty celebrities who beat the rap
           \_ Go Juice!
        \_ Planet names.  If you have nine servers, sorry, one of them will no
           longer be supported after the next scheduled Automatic Update.
           \_ That's no...oh.
           \_ You can just supplement with fictional planet names. Coruscant
              etc.
        \_ Mountains (tame, management-compatible), drinks, porn stars,
           countries (tame, MC), elements (t, MC), drugs, common words
           off urbandictionary, something vaguely logical (OS, function,
           location code)  -John
                    \- the best names are sort of sui generis. like
                       kim and ernie in old berkeley days. i also thought
                       the central-sparc, gg-sparc names were clever ...
                       my old machine was jurassic-sparc.
                       for the youth: EECS really did have a p0rn star
                       name scheme a while ago. the most bizarre nameing
                       name scheme a while ago. the most bizarre naming
                       scheme i can think of was Cimarron's "system calls
                       common to SysV and BSD" nomenclature. --psb
                       \_ We have a demo server that used to crash much too
                          often.  It's named demolition.
                          \- not http://democratic-party.foo.com?
           \_ Yeah the most logical is boring old sequentially-numbered
              codes involving machine location and type. My company scrapped
              our old "fun" names (the Linux boxes were all something to do
              with cold/winter/penguins, the Suns were things involving
              suns/stars/hot, although we also had fish like halibut, not sure
              what that referenced. But with blade servers they wanted the name
              to tell the location. They are incompetent anyway though.
              \_ The problem with the location in the name is what happens
                 when it moves? I cannot stand names like: sparc34_b202_eng24
        \_ Four-letter words.
           \_ Four-letter dirty words for body parts: cunt, dick, cock, boob.
              What else?
        \_ My first company used element names, and they let the engineers pick
           the elements.  So people usually pick names or symbols that were
           close to their names.
        \_ server location / OS / function and a number.  For sites with
           zillions of non-unique systems.  E.g   sfouxsvr00123
           \_ use DNS delegation properly.    http://uxsvr123.sfo.yourcompany.com
              \_ A "good" naming scheme will use this AND have loc codes
                 in the hostname, so it's also visible in NIS and ADS.  Most
                 sensible name setups use a combination of "logical" names
                 and CNAMEs.  -John
        \_ I kind of like D&D monster names. Lots there to choose from.
        \_ Famous drag queens and transvestites.
        \_ Sci-Fi character names. I still have fond memories of an
           Indigo 2 named jadzia and my dual headed ss10 named zaphod.
           Nobel laureates and fields medalists work too, but they are
           not as much fun.
        \_ For a group of Sun boxes, members of Sun Ra's Arkestra.
        \_ Our sysadmins are currently running though old video game-related
           names for our servers.  My favorite is CongoBongo.
        \_ I tend to name my home machines after Japanese monsters.  Gamera,
           Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, etc.
        \_ Vegetables
           \_ % finger -m dquayle@potatoe

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

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*

1/4     I want to test how my servers behave during a disk failure and
        a RAID reconstruction so I want to simulate a hardware failure.
        How can I do this in Linux without having to physically pull
        a drive? These disks are behind a RAID card and run Linux. -ausman

11/16   We'll be taking all CSUA machines offline in the near future for a Soda
        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.
        \_ Update:  this is tentatively scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

        another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!
