computer to a good home.
by Alvin Starr 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

I was using this system as a file server for a number of years. The motherboard is a Asus SLI/KFN5-D with 2 AMD quad core Optron CPU's with something like 12G of ram. It also has a 3wear 8port raid controller with 8 SATA cables. The motherboard and case are ok but the power supply had a problem and in trying to fix it managed to fry the drives and drive enclosures. There are 2 4 drive SATA holders and 5 drive SATA holder but unfortunately the back-plane electronics look to be fried. If someone wants it they are welcome to it otherwise it will be going to the recycling dumpster. -- Alvin Starr || voice: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin(a)netvel.net ||

Selectively restoring WordPress posts from old SQL dump
by William Witteman 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

I have a bunch of WordPress blogs sharing a database, which seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I have a bunch of posts that were overwritten at *some* time in the past by bad data, but my backups are good. My backup testing works perfectly well for complete replacement, but I don't want to do that - I want to cherry-pick for one blog of several, and only replace posts that existed in November with the same IDs in today's database, but leave everything else alone. Does anyone have any thoughts? Right now I am hoping not to have a couple of terminals open and try to manually run UPDATEs with copy-n-paste, because that seems rather error-prone. Thanks! William

Cybersecurity Action Plan
by Russell 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

The PDF link available in this article says phase two ends today. The first line item was "Standardize Linux Devices." I wonder how well they did that? Is such a national standard even possible? What distro would they use? Could and should there be a governmental standard compiler and a national security board ensuring device compliance? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/federal-documents-say-2014-chi… -- Russell Sent from my Android device by K-9 Mail

testing CURL without real server
by William Park 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Question for curl expert... I want to see what curl sends out, because I want to know what a proper HTTP request looks like. Manpage says -v or --trace. OK. But, curl requires a real URL to connect to. How can I run curl without specifying a real server/URL? I can't find any "dry-run" or "fake" options. -- William
