Um... so traffic just exploded here in the last <40 minutes. Anyone have a guess what is up? I mean like 100-200% increase over an already moderately busy day. And it is late at night in the US.
Are you seeing any referrals in the webserver logs? Often indicates that someone is linking to you.

@DustinB3403 Just see this post please... https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1644155-spotlight-on-it-goodbye-vsphere-hello-hyper-v?page=1#entry-5893682
Oh you created a an article for SW, but they posted the wrong version. Okay.
-
@DustinB3403 yep... Made a post on a similar topic a few weeks ago and got asked by SW if I would like to share some more background info about that. So I did the writing, they did some grammar, that's it. The latest version was sent to SW on last Thursday and it seems like they just missed it.
Problem was, they had their company event exactly the same day the story was auto-queued in their CMS, so no chance to correct it.

OMG I've become a millenial! - I'm listening Youtube vids while working...
I think that most people would say "How can you be a millennial if you are working?"
Though on that point I would say whose fault is it that the millennial generation is like this enough to be stereotyped? The parents and society their parents created.
I'm technically a millennial (though an early one) and I've had a job since I was 14... I know plenty of people both old and young to work the system (welfare etc) just so they don't have to work. It's not restricted to a generation. It's a lazy society.
Then you see people like one of my uncles that had a stroke and is really disabled, has trouble moving and communicating now, but it took them something like 7 years to admit that he's disabled.

I hope they have good backups. That's really the key to mitigating it.

I proposed a lot of policy changes in regards to e-mail and spam has been a much higher priority for me than it ever was before ransomware was so rampant.

Seriously why should you work?
That is the problem with America. That attitude right there..

While it's hard to disagree with you, at the same time I ask - are we suppose to work? as creatures of this earth, are we meant to deal with the troubles that we have? I don't think so. No other creature on this planet does, at least not in the same way. Instead they spend the majority of their time just looking for food, shelter and procreation. But if our technology can give us all those things, do we as a species still really need to work? There will always be those who want to explore and go forth, and that's great, but do the rest really need to? and if you think so, why?

You trade hours of your time for credits (currency) to purchase the things you need first and the things you want second. If we lived in a world where mankind banded together to solve all of the worlds major problems then maybe but it's still a hard maybe. If you didn't do this you'd have to worry about your survival in the same way animals do.

But if we had technology that made it so you could be self sufficient - thinking replicators here, and power was free, again because out technology makes it so, why would you need to work?
I'm not going for Scott's model where 20% or less of the earth works, and the rest of just just live off them.

I think that we will eventually get there but I wonder who would be motivated to learn anything at all at that point. Who would be left to maintain everything that makes it all possible?
