== Description ==

[[Image:Carbon.jpg|thumb|right]]Carbon was a direct result of discusions on the Admin-discuss list. It was felt that Prodigy could no longer handle the load placed on RedBrick during peak periods. Carbon was directly funded by the Society and the SPC.

Carbon was the primary login server until it was replaced by [[Murphy]]. Between then and 2010 it performed a variety of small tasks. With the arrival of [[Morpheus]] in 2009 and [[Worf]] in 2010 the remaining services were migrated allowing Carbon to become a dedicated development machine. It is intended that Carbon will in future follow the six month Ubuntu release cycle (rather than the LTS cycle generally followed) so users can access more recent development tools/libaries.

In August 2010, during the server room move, Carbon got a RAM upgrade from 2G to 4G, the extra ram in question coming from Data.

In November 2010, it started dying. We're not sure why, yet.

As of 2012 Carbon was decommissioned and replaced by a new server Pygmalion.

</table>

== Description ==

Ceilingcat was funded by the SPC in 2007. Prior to it's arrival the room had a 21" CRT taking up most of the desk, and various old desktop machines, none of which seemed to actually work.

To solve this werdz, lil_cain & receive picked pretty much the cheapest parts they could find, along with the cheapest 22" LCD screen they could find.

Ceilingcat was purchased by receive, and assembled by werdz. It's mainly used to burn disks, and use firefox, but it has also been used for extra storage, testing etc. We used it a couple of times to netboot other machines, and to host a Solaris VM which was used to kickstart [[Murphy]]. Not only that, but it has a very loud sound system that coconut and sonic like using in order to relieve [[deathray]]-related stress.

In early 2010 it was connected to the new Dell Powervault disk array ([[Worf]]; we needed to see if the damn thing would turn on), so for a few brief weeks of its life it had the best set of disks of any Redbrick machine, and possibly the best set of disks of any DCU machine.

As of November 2011, Ceiling Cat was transferred from the server room to the common room (N109). Its HDD was formatted, and Ubuntu 11.10 installed along with XBMC.

As of April 2012, Ceiling Cat returned triumphant to the newly cleaned and organized server room where it serves its original purpose as an admin desktop machine.

As of April 2013, Ceiling Cat has returned to the clouds. It is awaiting repair.

* Amarok

Vadimck: Removed protection from "Emo"

After many users both laid claim to and denied their affiliation with the tag "emo", it has been decided that the wiki is the best Redbrick tool with which to lay the matter to rest. Here is a list of known emos on Redbrick and pics with which to both prove their "emoness" and identify/avoid them in the real world.

Redbrick, as a society, would like to make a number of things regarding this page clear.

^^ Proof enough.

==atlas ==
[[Image:Atlas_emo.jpg]]

Although not showing some of the more classic emo signs this person never seems to be happy, and has almost never been recorded smiling. That, and his other somewhat "unusual" habits make him emo enough for this page.

'''BREAKING NEWS: '''Dregin just came out of the emo closet to Castle in #lobby. Check [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~dregin/emo_out.txt here] for proof.

There is also evidence of dregin's allegiance to the ultra-faggy ''straight edge'' trend.

13:06 < Attol> someone recently told me they'd gone straight edge, can't remember who
13:07 < Dregin> Attol: It WAS ME!

The proof is undeniable.

< haus> yea, you could always cut yourself or something instead

Text of http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~haus

Life.
It's all just one big fuck up really. People spend the majority of it looking for somebody else.
Like, what if you never do find that person who's supposed to make you happy? Do you die miserable?
Is anyone ever really always happy? Sure, I've been happy. But it never seems to last.
Happiness, building you up just to shatter it all down again when you won't see it coming since the beginning of time.
So what's the answer to avoid being shattered? Not letting anything external to your own body/mind.
That'll never work. You'll die alone like that.
But maybe it is better to die alone rather than just get hurt, over and over again.
I sure know I'm sick of being hurt, aren't you?

== lil_cain ==

[[Image:Lil cain emo.jpg]]

Recently spotted at the DCU Clubs & Socs Ball. Notice the anger expressed on his visage.

15:36 < lil_cain> hello great depression
15:37 < lil_cain> time to start stockpiling cigarettes, alchol, and razorblades me thinks

In Clubs and Socs: "I resign from life!"

Plan:
Life. Loath it or ignore it, you can't like it.

EEEMMMOOOOO!!!!

== nemo ==
[14:08] * nemo prays for the sweet release of death.

His name even has the word "emo" in it. How much more evidence do you need?

==ornat==
[[Image:emo_ornat.jpg]]

Don't let this user's seemingly happy facade fool you, as this photo evidence proves her emoness. Also has a strange obsession with hugs.

==phaxx==
[[Image:DSC01727.jpg]]

Apart from the trademark frown, phaxx appears here to be taking an uncharacteristically feminine interest in hair, make-up and wearing womens clothing; all hallmarks of the emo.

==tiroskan==

== twiggy ==
[[Image:emo_twiggy.JPG]]
Likes to mention the war - emo.

[13:41:46] @twiggy | i wasn't about to suggest i was going to

[13:41:51] @twiggy | I'm clearly not welcome

[13:41:55] @Zyox | YEAH

[13:41:56] @twiggy | *cuts wrists*

[13:42:05] -*- twiggy cries emo tears

== undone ==
[[Image:Undone_emo.JPG]]

Photographical evidence of undone on the loose in the real world has proven hard to come by.
He has made it onto the list due to his constant claims to haircare prowess and threats to kill his parents in #lobby. Any better pictures may save the life of many an ill-educated DCU student should they approach him unaware of his "emoness" so, please act with the utmost urgency in passing these on.

coconut: Away cutting himself.

undone: i was just finding a razor

undone: gonna do it now

undone: liveblogging

== zero ==
[[Image:Emo_zero.jpg]]

WAF!

Note: zero is no longer a member of RedBrick due to his epic exam fail and subsequent dropping out. Fagwaffery.

== zyox ==
[[Image:ZyoxHair.jpg]]

Although many have long suspected zyox of being emo, evidence has only recently come to light:

14:05:01 < Zyox> pain is good
14:05:06 < Zyox> it reminds me im still alive
14:05:10 < Zyox> ;_;
14:05:12 < Zyox> *cut*

* '''Default Gateway:''' 136.206.16.254
* '''DNS Server:''' 136.206.16.254

== Proxy Access ==

All outbound http(s) traffic must go through the proxy - proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie (136.206.16.254) port 3128

=== Ubuntu ===

To make sure apt uses the above proxy server, you need to add a file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ and put the details into it. Here's how you do it:

~> cd /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
~> sudo nano proxy

You'll be asked to enter your VM password at this point, before nano starts.

In this new file (proxy), type the following:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";

Hit Ctrl-x, then "y" to save the details.

----

To set your proxy system-wide you will need to edit you shellrc file. By default this is .bashrc on Ubuntu. Here's how you do it:

~> cd $HOME
~> nano .bashrc

Add the following lines to end of this file

export http_proxy="http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";
export https_proxy="http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";
export ftp_proxy="http://proxy.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie:3128";

Hit Ctrl-x, then "y" to save the details.

Then you will need to logout and log back in for changes to take effect or you can run this command.

~> source .bashrc

And that's it. Simples.

== Email ==

Outbound email may be routed through mailhost.vmsrv.redbrick.dcu.ie (136.206.16.254). Inbound email can not be accepted. For more information see the documentation on [[RBVM_Exim|configuring exim to send mail from your vm ]]
