Ouch, RAID5 on production server, RAID0 on replication target, and no backups. This guy is so screwed...

I can see where @Jimmy9008 is coming from, vMotion is literally the only specific feature that has been brought up so far in this thread

Legal questions around border agents using your face to unlock your iPhone.

And to answer Scott’s statement, legal precedents on one form of biometrics, fingerprints, are that it is perfectly legal.

This is why I reboot my iPhone immediately when entering customs or an situation with police.

You are, currently, legally protected from being forced to divulge a password.

I didn't read every followup post here, but if you spam your power button (hit it 5 times), it forces passcode unlock and also dials for emergency services. This could be easier to do if you just reach your hand in your pocket or maybe you dont have time to hold the buttons and swipe the screen to turn off your phone.

I was nauseated by the noxious fumes. That is perfectly fine according to Oxford.

Love the replies, I have nothing to contribute because the discussion has transcended far beyond my lack of expertise lol

Definitely appears to be a small space where it's beneficial, but for 99% of us the free ones are preferred and most will never see a scenario where it's truly needed

Hasn't AOL been a failure since dial-up internet was dead? like mid-1990s?

I agree though, almost everybody is trying to use "nauseated" as an adjective, which is obviously wrong, as it's a verb.

@aaronstuder I believe an update script from FreePBX is in the works

Xen Orchestra 5.31
https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-31

If you're using the open source version hopefully you haven't done any upgrading in the past few weeks... Delta backups are broken.

again?

I don't believe it was ever fixed. This issue is still open.

I actually just learned from this thread that it's ONLY a verb lol
I harass my wife every time she says she "feels nauseous" ... oops

@Dashrender It definitely seems like a ploy to get people to linger for another year until the next bump in pricing. Why take the product off the website if they truly have any intention of keeping it around long term.

We paid for it and it was totally worth the $350 at the time I did it (managing HV 2012R2 w/ win10 wasn't working very well). I have no regrets whatsoever switching to XSXO though, which also saved me a Unitrends subscription. Everything is easier (IMO) on XS, even using XC before I tried XO.

Xen Orchestra forum to merge into XCP-ng forums

As suggested by @DustinB3403 a while back, this makes perfect sense, they just didn't seem to have enough activity over at the XO forum to justify separating the communities. Separate logins, people somehow confused about where to post... This is a good move IMO

@scottalanmiller Even more though, 4GB installed equals 2GB usable, so 8GB must equal 4GB? lmao

This statement leading the article pretty much sums up Citrix to me: "I’ll let you in on a secret. Despite all my years working for Citrix, I never learned how to pronounce “Xen” correctly — even after quite a few brave colleagues tried to get me to say “szen” and not “ksen.”"

I can't figure out how to say either "szen" or "ksen"... I say "zen" like a zen garden... from wiki: pronounced /ˈzɛn/

Wikipedia claims "Ballistic Missile Defense"

Or Bangladesh Meteorological Department... one of the two I'm sure

The threat of having ISPs be able to sell personally identifiable information is enough for some people I know to want VPN... If there is nothing in it for me other than more spam, why would I want them to be able to see ANYTHING that I do? Something nefarious to hide definitely isn't a prerequisite.

Release - XCP-ng 8.0

The big release is here. After about a month of QA on the Release Candidate, XCP-ng 8.0 is now available and can be safely used in production environments.

Looks like I get to see how the upgrade process goes.

I've been running beta for about a month, the upgrade was as smooth as any other minor upgrade using the ISO. It's a bummer the yum updates don't work for major upgrades, but it's not that big of a hassle.

I'm still on 7.4 and am waffling between going to 7.6 or 8. I have E5540 Xeons and I'll need to check the compatibility lists 1st.

You probably wont find it on any compatibility lists because it's so old. I have (2) E5649 in my home lab and both 7.6 and 8.0 work/ed flawlessly.

My house has a septic tank Think they'll come hang out in my tank with scuba gear and wait for the fiber to pop through?

@brianlittlejohn We used voipsupply.com

They had everything we needed and the price seemed right. If you create an account and login you'll see the better, non-MSRP, pricing.
