AT&T and Verizon commit to suing any states that try to protect their citizens with net neutrality laws.

Please, PLEASE move to T-mobile if only on ethical grounds! Stop funding these monsters and enemies of the American public.

This comment here sums up the issue.

I'm bored at the moment. So here are some kittens.

So I tested the backup functionality within XOS and the appliance backs it's self up without issue.

Wow!

No additional tools required. Great design @olivier !

We are very excited to see this up and running. Looking forward to seeing how it gets used!

For Minecraft servers of the highest order...

What else could it possibly be used for....

For anyone who uses Mac products it looks as though Apple broke Office 365 installs for the interim) Work-arounds can be found in the image below.

@MattSpeller I don't know who she is, but I'd watch a few movies with her in them.

Seriously...

Didn't 12345678 just make it onto the 2015 horrible passwords lists? How could anyone have guessed that was the password... My god, leave Lenovo alone, they aren't making enough money for smart decisions....

What are you talking about, both of my arms are still attached to me....

The goal with this build is to use Xen Orchestra's Continuous Replication between the primary and second servers (immediately below) as the "hot spare". While also using the Delta Functionality to export to an onsite NAS for a Backup Target with the option of the Offsite backup system. All servers were quoted from xbyte.com

Setup Hourly Delta Backup functionality to local NAS.

Standard Rates for Locally Based Global IT Consultancy 21-30 hours: $200/hour

Backup Software – Xen Orchestra
Xen Orchestra works at the hypervisor level and comes in several service levels. The most cost efficient approach is the Source build. Costing nothing; Ever for every feature in the highest tier. But this also doesn’t come with paid support from the development team.
Prices range from $70 – 500 / Month for the support tiers, also each tier has different features.
Onsite Backup 24TB Usable Backup Space RAID 10
Synology NAS RS2416+ $1,699.99
12x HGST H3IKNAS40003272SA 4TB Hard disks $167.85/Each

Offsite Backup and Reoccurring Expenses
Colocation (Rented Rack Space)
Hardware: Dell PowerEdge R510 Server (Hotswap drives) $999.00
12x HGST H3IKNAS40003272SA 4TB Hard disks $167.85/Each
Rackspace rental cost* ~ $50-100/Month

Total upfront ~ $3,013 + Monthlies

Amazon
Amazon offers Offsite storage options as well. Additional exploration required. Rough estimates:
$120/Month at 4TB of space. We’d be paying for 10TB of S3 Space
$0.03 per GB for the 1ST TB then $0.0295 per GB up to 49 TB / Month
$0.09/GB Download cost (in recovery situations)

I just bought a "new" car. It's an 08 with 160k miles. I tend to buy cars when they are around 10 years old and then just pay cash.

Yeah I bought new originally, and while it's nice to have new. It's way nicer not having a car payment. . .

Oh this is funny..

It's great that you're getting new equipment and Server 2012, I hope you'll be virtualizing these.

Updates on CentOS 8 development...

https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8

Keep you logical reasoning to yourself!

I love this bit.

CentOS needs to go through the source code and find out all the places where debranding is needed.
No you can't just "sed s'/Red Hat/CentOS/'
