I have a Mac mini that I use as a media server running XBMC and serves media from my NAS to my stereo and TV (which has been color calibrated with a Spyder3Express, happy). The Mac runs OSX 10.8.2 and the internet connection is tunneled for general privacy over OpenVPN through Tunnelblick. I believe my anonymous VPN provider pushes…
My goal is to allow people to upload and download large files through their web browser with a simple user interface and user password/account management. Yousendit offers a service like what I am looking for, but it does not make sense to use their service if I already have a web server.
Is there an open source version of…
I have a Windows 2003 server that is running a semi-custom backup task. The scheduled task calls NTbackup with a few switches depending on whether it is a full or incremental backup. Most of the time, the NTbackup completes fine, and the wrapper then appends the NTbackup log into its own log before adding a few final…
I post this with much trepidation after my baptism by fire recently, and knowing that this question has been asked and answered already.
My problem is that I cannot seem to remove start.funmoods as the default search engine when I type into the omnibox in Chrome - I have followed the instruction in the answer to the…
Grub has gone completely insane on me. My quad-boot system was working great up until I upgraded Ubuntu to 12.04. Since Ubuntu overwrote the Grub stuff I had to repair it with my Mac OS X and FreeBSD entries. After this, trying to boot Mac OS X gave me the error "couldn't open file" and FreeBSD gave the error "no…
I have this LAN Network with 10 clients and one server. The server has 4 virtual machines and a BIND DNS Server. When the router assigns an IP through the DHCP , it also gives the ip of the DNS Server, to resolve internal domains. Everything apparently works fine, the clients being able to access the server's…
Hi all (asking here because this meta question told me to).
I have some data in an excel spreadsheet here. It's no more than a table with about five columns.

I'm executing a command like the following to several different systems:
$ rsync -a -v foo@machine.company.com:'/path/to/first/*.log path/to/second.txt' /dest/folder/0007/.
Sometimes *.log does not exist, and that's OK, but rsync generates the following error:

I am unable to connect to my local instance of SQL Server 2008 Express using SQL Server Management Studio.
I believe the problem is related to a change I made to the connection protocols. Before the error occurred, I had Shared Memory enabled and Named Pipes and TCP/IP disabled. I then enabled both…
I'm trying to remotely access a particular computer of mine and it seems that VNC has stopped. I can tell that the computer is still running because I can VNC into another machine on the same network and can see my target machine under the Network section in Windows Explorer and can also ping it…
Here is the current set up (in a nutshell).
The site is set up with a wildcard subdomain, so *.website.com is accessible. Clients can then domain map their own domains with an A record to the server IP address and it will translate the to appropriate *.website.com with re directions and env…

In case it matters:
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
SSH: OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu5
I'd like one SSH config file to include another one. The use case would be to define whatever I want in my default .ssh/config file and then pre-pend a couple of extra things in a separate file (e.g.…
I'm using OO 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 (in case that matters to the answer).
I like my dates to appear as YYYY-MM-DD. I can't think of a time when I want to see a date in any other format, so I'm constantly changing how dates look. That's manageable, though annoying. What's…
I am having an issue after several updates where when I try to boot the boot animation "loads" then flashes with the fedora logo, and then sits there. After checking into it more I found that two services were failing to start.
The first is tcsd.service and the second is…
I have recently installed a KMS Server in our domain and deployed 75 new Windows 7 machines using an image I made using Acronis True Image. There are 2 variations of this image rolled out currently.
When I go to activate the machines it returns that the KMS count is not…
I often have to work across several virtual machines through RDP. I used to work with Terminals, and recently changed to mRemote NG.

I have 4 GB of memory on a 32-bit laptop (Lenovo T61, in case it matters) running Ubuntu 9.10. Is there any way to make use of it all? Ubuntu only sees 3 GB, of course. Is there any way I can utilize the last GB of memory?
We are looking for an effective way to manage the start screen in Windows 8. So far using WSIM we can add certain start tiles by using the OOBE System - shell setup - SquareTiles and WideTiles properties. However this only seems to work for square tiles and not…
I have an Alienware M15x, 940MX processor, 16 GB RAM, 512GB M4 SSD, and I was running Win7 64bit. I backed up the disk and ran Win 8 setup. Setup appeared to go well through multiple reboots.
After the last reboot, it simply stopped after POST at "Press F2…
