Smart switches are cheaper than managed switches, normally by quite a bit. And they are way easier for a small business to manage as they normally just use a web browser or a simple utility instead of making you use expensive and complex central management tools for SNMP.

@Dashrender Exactly see new thread here.

@aaronstuder said in Forget Ubuntu, now OpenSuse Linux comes to Windows 10:

Why would I want to do this? I see no point?

There is none in the way that they did it. The way that they promote it, it would be awesome. But they approach that they took makes it a joke.

Just finalizing the conversation here that we feel pretty confident in the changes we've made to the update script.

You can update by downloading a new copy of the script or manually making the changes to the file.

The script will now reset any custom git changes that don't match the source, then the script will proceed, and make the necessary changes to enable the feature so you can import your config files.

What to do with the Dell SC440 server that is currently being used? Scrap it?

Definitely scrap it.

That's new to me. Posting a post about Octoblu itself now.

For XS export speed: YMMV. I don't have major issues on my side, but some people (let's say 10/15%) had problems.

I suppose it's more related to a hardware problem.

I see improvements yes, but at the margin, I'm often saturating my GB link.

@John-Nicholson They are supposed to be from the PM series (PM853T).

I think Nextcloud integrates with the Web version of LibreOffice if I'm not mistaken?

Yup

@scottalanmiller said in OpenOffice Contemplates Shutdown Amid Volunteer Drought:

Makes sense. It has been nearly insane that it kept going in the light of LibreOffice all of this time. They should have merged back in long ago. We don't need those two existing side by side, it just hurts the ecosystem.

Is merged back in the right term since Libre is the fork and Open is the original?

But yeah, I agree that there is jut not enough active development for both it seems.

That's always a tough one when the original people do the forking. The code is identical at the time of the split, so one is not more original than the other (unlike cloning an animal) and moving forward the only aspects that make one the original and one the fork is the name and the team. In the case of OO or NC, the original team went with the fork, making it convoluted which is now the original. The original name, OO, went one way and the team went another.

Or, to make it more confusing, if the team makes the "new project", like in this case, one could make the case that OO is the fork of LO, even though it is newer, because ideologically the original project, momentum, team and code changed name to LibreOffice.

Code is a weird thing to think of as one being original and one not.

I have my recalled Note 7. Verizon received them yesterday and shipped me one overnight. All things considered, despite the fact the flawed Note 7's should have never been released, I think Samsung has handled this fairly well.

I even have a "green" battery indicator so make it easy to identify the fixed model over the bad ones. 🙂

The FBI are not known for being very bright. Or technical.

They managed to get into the iPhone. Totally without the help of anyone else. Just imagine the party.

Except they hired someone else to do it 😉

That's one of those hotfixes that suck because it really has to be implemented ASAP.

I created a shared mailbox and then I manually added the contacts (there are only 14 of them) to it. This makes the contacts visible to any user with access to the shared mailbox. However, I also wanted to used these "shared" contacts in some distribution groups, which doesn't appear to be possible. 😞

I think that I'll stick with LetsEncrypt

Anyone ever try the products from Metalogix? If downloaded Essentials for Drives: File Shares to OneDrive Freemium, but I never received the activation code via email.

Have you guys done any testing? Would like to hear what improvements you guys are seeing.

No issues in almost a week. I will probably drop the heap size back to 1g and see if it remains stable.

@olivier FWIW, I just retested on the latest next-release with the same results. If I disconnect / reconnect the server from within XO, the "ghost" VM is now gone.

@scottalanmiller said in Xen Orchestra / Metadata backup?:

Citrix says to not back up the host and it appears that megadata is stored on the SR. Has anyone attempted to restore without the metadata backup to see what would come up as missing? Having done something basically like this, I thought that I got all of the data that you would be looking for (minus logs.)

It restores the VDIs, but doesn't associate them with VMs. Nor does it create VMs.

So you just have a bunch of VDIs.
