We troubleshoot a lot of server and network issues and follow a loose set of steps on what to do in different cases. With more and more people and responsibility, the need for standardization is needed so we don't miss something.
I know I could accomplish what I want using flowcharts, but I'd like to do something similar to a "Choose Your Own…
I keep getting this warning when doing operations in git (commit, fetch etc). I had a 'bad' branch at some point in the past. It doesn't prevent any operations so far with my repository, but I'd like to clean it up.
git fsck doesn't seem to help. Also, I can not just re-clone from another repository as I'd like to keep some commits that are…
I have currently been tasked with tracking down an IP KVM for our new data center, but I'm coming up blank on good reviews of KVMs. We're looking at a rack of 5 to 10 servers that would be hooked in.

My girlfriend needs to install Windows XP over Ubuntu on her PC, because she need to run some software that Wine and a visual machine can't handle as well as the 'real' thing.

I've got a bunch of duplicate messages in my IMAP server's Maildir. What's the best way to remove them?
Some relevant points:
Shared Message-ID is usually a good enough definition of duplicate. A tiny script that removes all but one of the duplicate messages would work.
Sometimes it's necessary to find duplicates based on…
So I switched my computer to Ubuntu after some issues with Windows, then switched the GUI to Xubuntu after I noticed Ubuntu and Unity were painfully slow.
I'm running an i5 with 8 gigs of ram and I still experience at least one full freeze (where I can't do anything and have to unplug) per week. REISUB does nothing and…

Recently I came across LINQPAD at http://www.linqpad.net/ a free utility by Joseph Alabahari.
This is an excellent tool for developing and testing LINQ queries before you incorporate them into your C# programs. If you get stuck as I did at one point recently there is the MSDN Linq forum at…

It appears that if you invoke logging.info() BEFORE you run logging.basicConfig, the logging.basicConfig call doesn't have any effect. In fact, no logging occurs.
