• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    WiFi Router with Content Filtering

    I'd just use openDNS. Any router should let you set the dns servers to use

    Network Project

    Yes you can, as long as your not trying to use 1GBit. 10 MBit and 100MBit only use 2 pairs. (pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 if I recall) They even sell adaptors to let you run 2 10/100 Mbit connections using 1 RJ45 jack, or you can manually split it out to 2 separate jacks. Gigabit on the other hand...

    Is Visual Basic A Waste of Time?

    ^ this Especially if you goto work for a company that's been writing code for 25+ years like I do. We have millions, and I'm talking on the order of 25+M lines of RPG code that runs at customers around the world. Lots of folks say RPG is a dead language (better go explain that to IBM since...

    Dynamically changing port numbers every few seconds?

    it also wouldn't work with applications that require a constant connection. Every time the port changed you'd have to reestablish your connection to the server (a relatively expensive operation). It might work for "transactional" systems where you connect, do something, then close the connection.

    What is an acceptable transfer time for a UPS?

    Here's another vote for an LP generator + transfer switch. I've got my servers on a UPS that holds the load for the 8-10 seconds it takes the transfer switch to realize something's up, fire up the generator,let it stabilize at 60 Hz, and transfer the load over

    Permissions issue? Can't run "php cron.php" on production server

    the staging path doesn't happen to have a .: (period followed by colon) in it does it? It's gotta be a path issue. Of course it could also be a safe_mode setting but I doubt it. In the phpinfo output there's 2 columns (local and master). Make sure the values you're checking are the local...

    Permissions issue? Can't run "php cron.php" on production server

    it could be open_basedir, it does some funny things sometimes. Where exactly does app/Mage.php live?

    Permissions issue? Can't run "php cron.php" on production server

    it's setup in your php.ini. Create yourself a php file with the following in it: phpinfo(); put it in the same place as your other script and run it (both servers). it's got lots of stuff in it so you'll probably want to pipe it to more or to a file so you can scroll through it. Dumping it...

    Permissions issue? Can't run "php cron.php" on production server

    I think I've seen this before and it turned out to be my php include path. Make sure it includes whereever apps lives.

    I'm looking for a battery backup, sort of. Need portable power.

    On my UPS I can set "quiet hours" for it to not beep (and even includes an option for never alert).

    Web address without using the port number

    reverse proxy's are definitly what you want want. I've got 4-5 application servers running behind an apache server that does reverse proxies to them. site.com/app1 -> appserver1:8080 site.com/app2 -> appserver1:8081 site.com/app3 -> appserver1:8082/app3 site.com/app4 -> appserver1:8082/app3...

    Best language for text processing and manipulation?

    I'd have to recommend PERL. It was built for string manipulation and does a great job at it.

    Proxy Software?

    espn360.com let's you "go remote". I can't get to it from work or i'd walk you through it. Sign onto it from home and look for "sync remote" or "activate remote" or something like that.

    Give guests printer access on network?

    haven't tried this but make sure the guest account is included in the "shared with" list on the printer. If I recall "Everyone" doesn't include the guest account so you may have to explicity add it.
