@Dashrender This is only moderate density DDR3, no where near 128GB. Every color is another layer of copper. Check out his grid size for scale! 4 thousandths of an inch!

Now consider that each trace from the chip to the pin needs to be the same length or you start to induce latency errors. That should blow your mind sufficiently 🙂

@DustinB3403 I just virtualized our servers but not our desktops. I have been asking to upgrade our phones, but to have the money to do so I need to get some more customers. Great advice though. Thank you.

What about your phone system do you want to upgrade? The number of lines you have? the switch? the phones themselves?

VOIP and SIP only applies if you're talking about upgrading the lines and assumes the current system supports SIP.
If he's talking about the phones/system, that won't be free (for the phones).

Hopefully his phone setup is less complicated than mine.

Migrations are something that any user could want to do, and should be able to do . Moving something like Voice Mails and text messages, while not commonly needed - i've personally never cared about migrating them - shouldn't be considered outside the norm either.

Does Windows do something that nearly no other OS does in the requirement/user of extensions to know what programs to use to open a file - yes, is this now a legacy problem, sure, doesn't change the fact that people want to migrate every day from iphones to androids and vice versa. Just this year 4 of my doctors switched from iphones to galaxy notes, mostly at the behest of their teenage children. Frankly I couldn't believe they were doing it!

So Personally, yes I think migrations are a highly common thing. That said, if apple doesn't want to support that ability, that's their prerogative.

I'll agree that backups don't equal migration tools.

Have a new laptop coming and I'd like to run something like Time Machine for OS X where I can just restall the whole system from it if possible. Any suggestions?

Veeam or wrong! (c) ...

Yeah, do this to a local NAS or USB attached storage.

Best practice, which almost no one follows, is to use explicit paths in scripts rather than implicit. then you don't need that at all.

I guess that makes 100% sense since you have to start the script with an absolute path ha.

If you want to really switch people over, redirection encourages them to not change their address books.

Looks like

xm shutdown -a

will shutdown all of the vms

Oooh, ok. That's the difference then. Must be for a different use. With Alfresco, each time you upload a change, it's saved as a version (major or minor). Then you can restore to versions, see edits made by users with timestamps and some other info.

Right, its even more granular. You can go back versions to individual document components.

I really originally never thought about why you;d have to worry about power loss if you have a UPS, which is what started this thread.

Because, if you're like me, it's definitely worth having the UPSs, but it's not worth it to install generators. Of course if you have short term battery power, say 15 mins, I suppose you should probably have scripts etc in place to start shutting down your servers when you loose power for more than say 5 mins.

Yes, shutting down is always a viable option. You just need to make sure you have failover UPS that are properly monitored and maintained.

@scottalanmiller I'll have to try it on my VM when I get a chance to restart my computer...Oracle Vbox is being annoying, machines won't start except for right after a reboot of the host OS. Haven't figured out where the issue is yet.

No different than the Verizon Netflix issues.

What about using something like Base? You get the benefits of Access (easy to use, lower learning curve if you are coming from Access), but you also get cross-platform compatibility, no paying for version upgrades, or being locked into Windows.

Definitely better, but I've not used it first hand to say. Worth a try, though. Base + MariaDB or even Base + SQLite.

Got it I think

shutdown /s /f d p:6:12

Updates are good, but in the reality of SMB, you cannot find any way to update shit code.

That's only an artifact of SMBs on Windows. I've worked with tons of SMBs on Linux and never see update issues outside of old consultants trying to screw them by creating artificial migration needs. It takes effort to have these problems in the Linux world. Just being lazy, you are pretty likely to stay patched.

@johnhooks Indeed it does.

Dell acknowledge the issue:

To get rid of the self-signed root certificate, Dell customers have the option of waiting for a software patch to be rolled out over the coming days, or downloading and running the fix themselves.

Ended up revising my approach to the whole configuration. I bought an SM951 128GB for the caching device and grabbed a pair of seagate 2TB drives and put them in an md raid 10. Random 4k inside one of the VMs averages between 12,000 and 20,000 write depending on queue depth. This seems low given that the SM951 is rated really high, can bcache be tuned to increase the dirty cache for random io?

I did manage to find a setting for sequential which pushed it up to 1GB/s.

Encryption has more or less always been allowed - it's only through the ease of use that now they are pushing to make it go away.
