No none in stock.

Because I already have backups I'm pulling the disks out and wiping and performing a disk check on each.

I've always wanted to spin up a VM for each HDD to test and have them all test simultaneously. Would be glorious.

I am not happy with the amount of the increase. I never said a company should not or cannot raise their costs.

Considering my other theory, I'm not surprised with the hike. Happy, maybe not, but surprised, nah!

Another question - how often are you buying new licenses?

And when you compare prices, what beats it?

Nothing beats it yet on price for paid solutions that work with Hyper-V.

Unitrends free is a possibility for this particular client.

It didn't happen to me but at the high school I worked at they had an on-site exchange server (we moved it off site when I was there) that was circa 2000 (I think). Two people had Out of Office replies and at the time there wasn't a setting to only send that once per user. So there was a sent message to everyone in the school, ~100 accounts, and these two accounts were replying Out of Office to each other over and over again... things got really sluggish and then after two hours stopped working altogether from what one of the techs told me.

Yup, that's what I saw... no information at all 🙂

I'll definitely give you that - but then you're still at the single device problem. Logging in from a phone, and getting a text message on the same device.

Same Device isn't as big of a deal.. It's more of same method of access. EX: Email is a back door to most accounts, if you have the email you can reset anything. So using the email as a place to send the 2FA login codes is just not a good idea.

Agreed.

Doesn't take all that much. And you never know if the society is real but the email is not. Although the entire premise is very scammy. It's got Amway written all over it.

So what should I set for cores? 1? 2? More than 2?

Now that gets out of the area of "easy to answer." LOL This comes down to your workload. The rule of thumb is start with one, test, increase, test and repeat. Stop when you start to lose performance and go back to the one that was best.

Not all that helpful, is it?

For a SQL Server, I'm pretty confident that the right answer is not "one". I would start with two and see how it performs. Chances are two is going to be the minimum that you would consider using. Watch those two and see how they are utilized. If load gets high (that's load factor... the run queue length) then more vCPU might be in order. Not super common (by VM count) to go over four vCPU, but there are certainly cases for it.

I've used egnyte in the past for situations like that, don't remember pricing or limits though

In general, avoid the www. Sockets seem to fail when using it.

I will say if you put the NEC in place in the last couple of years (which I thought I saw that you did), it may be possible to sell it on eBay or to some kind of firm that buys old PBXs to make up a little bit of money toward new handsets / something else. When we got rid of our Avaya IP Office 406 system in 2013 and moved to Elastix, a company bought all the hardware from us for around $1500 - $2000 if memory serves (including about 70 Avaya 5410 desk phones as well).

Compare the cost of the system to the money saved over a period of 2-3 years switching to a SIP provider and using some type of open source PBX. You may make that money up pretty quickly.

I haven't tried this....

In Big Picture mode go to Settings, Controller, Add a Controller. Press and hold X then press the Steam button. (Keep holding X). It will then give you a 4 button sequence to key in. Done.

Not sure if that will kick the other controller off or not.

This worked, thanks!

Free and cross platform, have not seen it before but it looks interesting.

Seems to be that way.

@KOOLER already tested vanilla FreeBSD 🙂

No, there is nothing like that. The filesystem is just not there. It would warn you, though, so you would know not to be trying to save to something that doesn't exist.

And instability often leads to security vulnerabilities, they tend to go hand in hand.

I'll probably have to turn it over to them (while filming) and the pursue legal action. Otherwise they will send the account to collections for the fees, and possibly even back charge for cable modem rental for 3 years. ($10/month + $300 fee).

Do not turn it over to them. Don't even talk to them anymore. Just head for small claims court. This is theft, and you have the evidence.

And with the contract you might even have "premeditated intent to defraud and extort."

Some phones will not be getting it at all, particularly lower end ones.

I think that's crazy. I have a Lumia 635 that I use if I go riding 4 wheelers or whatever because it cost me $40. Doesn't get much lower end than that, but it's supposed to get the update.

It's my understanding that this phone will be getting the update, it's just a matter of when. Are you on AT&T?

Ya its supposed to get it. That's what I was saying, are there any others that are lower end than that? I have straight talk but it uses AT&T.

Can we petition NTG to run a modded Minecraft server on their Scale Cluster? For "testing" purposes?

Where have you been this week?

http://mangolassi.it/topic/7610/installing-minecraft-server-on-centos-7-with-oracle-java-8

@art_of_shred has been playing on it every day, in fact.

I'll have to see if it works on the Win7 client when I get home tonight.

Works with the standard client, wherever it runs.. the Java client. We have been testing it from Windows 10 but the standard client is the same everywhere - the miracle of Java 🙂

Is it open to the public, or do we need an invite?

Semi-private. IM'd you the info.

Sure, lots of ways of handling this. A script is one option, of course, and not that hard. You could make it ping once a minute and if the ping fails, send an email. That's not hard, especially in BASH.

Commonly this is handled by systems like Zabbix, Zenoss, Nagios or Spiceworks. They all have that functionality. If you lack that internally it might be well worth looking at implementing something more broadly since you are already addressing the need for this one specific thing.
