Yeah but then you have a customer calling and screaming at you “We just launched our big sale of the year and our site has been down for an hour!!!”.

If you let them burst and bill them, you end up with angry clients. If you don’t, you end up with angry clients. Letting them burst and being forgiving with the bill is the better approach IMHO.

How to remotely reboot a Linux host if SSH fails to connect?

Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it’s a search/index tool which I don’t need. No idea why it took over all memory. I’ll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it. Thanks again heaps!...

If it hung like that, you probably have some sort of storage issue or high memory consumption pushing the box into swap.

Intel amt may help you, if you want hardware then google pikvm. Raritan also makes a small single node ip kvm, but it’ll probably cost more.

Agreed. I think this is more of a late 90s / early 2000s thing. It’s become more acceptable today for sure, especially if you’re going to university or something.

After reading more into this, the dev sounds like he’s being a twat.

Nginx had some security bugs in alpha code. F5 issued cve’s for it, the dev didn’t want them to because it wasn’t code in a stable release. That’s the entire story from what I can tell.

I don’t feel like f5 was in the wrong here, and running off to raise a stink seems like an excessive response here.

I think this is very regional.

Here in Vancouver I’d say 15% is standard, and most preset options are 15% / 18% / 20%.

I was just in NYC and it seemed like 20% was standard with the preset options being 18% / 20% / 25%.

Seriously though, fuck tipping. I’m not paying an extra $50 on an already expensive $200 bill just because your employer underpants you. 20% is already high and is only if you give some damn good service.

It’s perfectly effective, they become fully isolated from each other. Yes vlans would work if they’re all on the same host. If they’re not on the same host you would need a vlan capable switch, or at least one that’ll pass tagged packets through.

Watch the video. It just means external to the CPU, not an external device.

They demo the attack on a Lenovo laptop in the first minute of the video.

Sounds like intel has external and amd internal with their ftpm?

I only read your first paragraph, but just be up front and ask her?

“hey I think you’re cute but I don’t want to misconstrue your signals and make things awkward at work, are you interested in me or are you just looking for a friend?”

Although if she is in your chain of command, do not pursue. Nothing good can come of that.

Shadow ,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes it’ll be awkward for the moment, but it’s also a mature way to handle this. You won’t see her after the next month, so what do you have to lose?

Above all else be polite and be respectful. If she says she’s interested then you can immediately ask her out for a proper date afterwards. If she says no then “oh well, glad I asked! Want to be friends?” (or not, your call, but she might have cute friends)

Women like confidence. If you’re both insecure and dancing around each other, nothing will happen.

Typically a distributor deals to stores that deal to end users.

Amazon call themselves a store, but at their scale and volume they’re pretty much a distributor.
