It's SAD that I saw THIS and got excited and had the "Ooooh!! WANT!!"

My day (x-posted from my journal)

Yesterday was evidently National Idiot Day. It started with this:

( OMG iostat is hanging! )

Then we moved on to:

( OMG! Can't run this command! )

And finally:

( OMG no response from your team! )

Root helps those who help themselves, people.

hey folks! i'm in need of some advice, and decided to turn to livejournal. i've been researching webcams for a few weeks, and i finally know what i want. the advice i need is which one to chose from the few i've found that sort of fit my specs. i need a webcam that is good enough quality to pick me up clearly while i'm playing my banjo.

i want: a mac compatible, 30fps minimum, laptop friendly webcam. i can't spend more than $120 (including shipping). here is what i've sort of chosen so far, and i am looking for your opinions on what the best may be. i'm looking for personal experience with these babies. also, please feel free to offer up your favorites.

Cue this shift's stupidity:

- Cust: ZOMFG!!!111!!one!!1!1!eleventy-one!!1 My server is ruined! You host it, it's your fault!
- Me: Er, okay.....

Initial investigation shows both his (un-managed!) servers, co-lo'd in one of our many sites, have been exploited, to the point only a physical console of the machines were the only way in. A quick look around confirms the prognosis: the electronic equivalent of a messy anal rape.

- Me: Your boxen are hosed. I hope you took backups.
- Cust: ...backups??? *insert curious reaction to foreign, unknown word here*

Cue finger-pointing that server security is our fault, despite the fact the customer has no firewall and seems to have neglected setting up any filtering/ACLs on his servers. It took all of five minutes to demonstrate why he was so badly 0wnzed:

[lordstorm@nocjump] ~$ ssh root@you.deserve.to.be.exploited.you.stupid.twat.customer-id.isp.net
Password:

bash-2.05#

Oh look! You've even left ssh open to root-logins! As good as a neon sign advertising the back entrance!

Dipshit. Go away now, you hurt my brain.
