  1. Re:Silly. on Returning Power From Electric Cars To the Grid · · Score: 1

    Great way to prove you have no idea what is going on here. These would be used for load balancing the grid, not powering houses. People in areas prone to ice damage, also often have central heat/air, which means if the thermostat works and nothing else they have a hot boiler and a cold house.

    What is next commentators that have no fucking idea what they are talking about? How about a commentator that then makes a bunch of stupid comparisons based on his total lack of knowledge about the situation.

    I would have been returning the disk the first time that happened and I was sure it was not an OS issue. Like writeback being turned on for an ext3 volume.

    Then sent those people to jail. I think a simple 25 year sentence with no possibility of parole would be fine.

    I have no interest in sending spam. I just want to send normal emails to friends, family and sometimes when forced to coworkers.

    I do not want to be forced to continue to rent servers from someone else. I like being self reliant.

    Technically it is the wrong port. Unless you think I want to run a mail server off site just for this purpose. It is the right port for authenticated submission, which is not what I want to do. I want the mail server to live at my house.

    I am surprised by the inability of some people to read, while being able to write so well.

    You confused fascism with Marxism. Common mistake.

    No, I want to run my own mailserver. Like I do at work. This is so I can provide myself activesync and to other family members who do not live in my household. Lots of people used to run their own mailservers, but you are probably to young to remember that.

    You are a know-nothing AC.

    If it is as bad as the TWC dns servers that would be a good call. Those things were down all the damn time.

    FIOS dns servers lie about queries and respond with a search page instead of NX domain. They have another set they want you to use instead but I opted for another option.

    Actually if you use one of those they do want you to use their smtp relay. So odds are they are blocking it.

    Or maybe I want to run the email server at home, and some of the mail should be delivered to the datacenter and some to other mail servers.

    Maybe I will get blacklisted, but outgoing connections should not be something the ISP fucks with.

    SSH does not connect to port 25 which is what SMTP is on. Also SSH is encrypted which normal SMTP is not.

    Way to open your mouth and prove you don't know what you are talking about.

    I lease many T1s at work, I don't need that level of SLA.
    I don't even need the SLA the business class FIOS provides.

    Common sense would be to make them advertise such limitations, not bury them in legalese.

    Sounds like you need to fix your backup strategy. It is not fun, but once a year or two is no big deal.

    I have not seen filesystem corruption, but at that point would get another drive and toss that one out. No point in having that happen more than once. I am not using an OCZ branded drive though.

    Put the mechanical drives in another machine and use that for dedicated storage. All the other computers can have nice fast SSDs.

    Have you heard of this new thing called backups?

    I don't care if the drive only lasts 1 or 2 years. By then a bigger, faster, cheaper one will be out and I will buy that.

    I have backups if I use SSDs or HDs or clay tablets, so this changes nothing.

    25 is smtp, 22 is ssh. Who needs to look it up?

    If people are willing to pay it, then by definition the price is not too high.

    I remember paying way more for HDs than $1.5/GB.

    The cost of going all SSD?
    Have you priced SSDs recently?
    You can get 100GB drives for ~$150. How much cheaper does it have to be?

    Sure you might still want a few spinning drives for bulk media storage, but that can be in one machine in the house not all of them.

    Come to mention it, I do use their actiontec router and they do update the firmware and reset stuff on it on occasion. I will have to investigate it.

    Telnet on port 25 is how you can test if smtp is working.

    Thanks for having no idea what you are talking about. SSH is not going to connect to an SMTP server.
