But why is Windows phone failing today? It is because the OS sucks - NO - anyone why uses it with a real open mind will see that it's just as usable any Android or iOS -

I put it in between. More usable than Android and less usable than iOS. However, for a new entrant into the market, it has to shine, and that it did not, at all. It lacks the open ecosystem that Android uses as the excuse for being functionally problematic and it lacks the tight integration that makes iOS work. It's trying to fill a pointless middle ground that doesn't exist. Then, of course, it botched that middle ground terribly and that's another issue. But even executed well, I don't see it having a purpose, a goal.

This should also be a concern for internal systems. Having the ability to MitM a server if you can take a client even through other means is a pretty large problem.

@Kelly said in OpenSSH installed, but cannot use SCP:

Ok, I can now copy. Thanks for all the help. I have learned a lot in just this one issue.

Cool, just realized that this was solved. So marking it as such. Thanks.

I think it still runs Linux, so yo could probably do most of that. However that kind of defeats the purpose of being centrally managed.

VyOS, it is extremely capable. We've been on VyOS or its parent Vyatta for a very, very long time.

Ya EdgeMax is, does the USG run VyOS?

Yes, they all do the same stuff under the hood.

Ok, I didn't realize that. But like I said, I think needing to dig into the cli on the USG kind of defeats the purpose of having everything centrally managed by the controller.

I thought I mentioned it's not about fully managing, it's more about the reports/graphs.

Yes it's a bit more expensive...

Ah I missed that.

why not just look at a Toshiba mfp, or any color mfp for that fact? Every single one of my Toshiba mfp's 4540 (color) or 356 (b&w) do 11x17 native. No changes and can be used for every day printing, therefore eliminating the specialty. The Toshiba units that I purchased are $7000 but last a million or more prints with proper maintenance.

@RamblingBiped said in Containers in IT:

Do you automate configuration management and deployment using Puppet? Chef? Ansible?

This particular item (DevOps vs. Snowflakes) applies to VMs and containers equally.

Okay, makes sense then. I'd lean towards XenServer with local storage then. You can migrate to CEPH when it is ready. This would get a single node up "instantly" and let you move others as the opportunity arises.

Never found one that I liked.

Never found a ticketing system you liked or never found an open source ticketing system you liked?

Either, i suppose. But specifically an open source ticket system that runs on Linux.

Yeah, it's limited nearly to pointless.

I highly suspect that Apple has been working on something secretly.

Have you seen anything that would indicate this? Based on Apple's post Steve Jobs' record they haven't innovated much in quite some time. I don't think they have ever officially acknowledged that anyone would want a keyboard for working on an iPad. I'm not trying to be critical, but a solution like this doesn't fit with the Apple I know and support.

It seems like I remember reading some things about OS X having touch screen support built in a couple of years ago, but I can't seem to find it now. Maybe it was a dream, lol. A cursory google shows up somebody with a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeHFRpj_zC8) of the Yosemite beta with a Lenovo touch screen.

I fully expect to see "OS X" go away, and IOS become the next Apple OS... If they pull it off right, it will be like what Microsoft is trying to do with Continuum.
