I think that while it would be great, older XenServer is going to be out of scope, at least for a really long time, with Sodium. There are a lot of barriers there and a really small use case. Now the current XenServer might be a different matter. Has anyone looked at that at all?

Yeah, while I had a system available I figured looking to see if it would "just work" made sense. But the version of Python is to old, and it's a huge hassle to get a newer version installed at best.

Time to update to XS 7 and test 😉

Yeah, if I had any way to get my own OS installed it would've already been. Another server at WholeSaleInternet.

They don't let you install an OS there? And they don't keep the ones that they offer updated?

They give you a choice, and they always seem to be a little behind. One big reason why it's only every going to be a home lab environment for me and not a recommended service for any company.

Do any of us doubt that that's where the government is headed?

They can try...

@jaredbusch said in Uber Austin? When did that change?:

I usually take the local express bus from the airport to my hotel when I come into town. But then I take a taxi on the leaving day because hang over.

Last year at MC I took the stupid 5AM shuttle back to the airport with a hangover. It was awful.

Right @ChrisL ????

I might need to investigate Wine again, when I tried it, things were rough to say the least.

I haven't run Wine in a while, but when last I tried, any app that needed SSL did not work. Browsers couldn't do HTTPS, any app that tried to do encryption or anything like that would fail... If they'd fix that a lot more games and online things would work.

Interesting, had no idea about this.

This is relatively recent as well, like in the Wine 1.9 & 2.0 branches.

Good to know, I was just debating on switching my gaming machine over recently, glad I didn't if this recent hiccup is going to cause issues.

Steam under Wine worked well, as did several of my games. But WOW did not.

@lakshmana said in Raspberri Pi, don't use if you've used Debian based distros!:

What raspberry model?

It doesn't matter. The hardware footprint with the bastardized Debian built for the Raspberri Pi just doesn't work well.

Got back to this yesterday. Running on CentOS7 as a base (best of the default options the hosting provider has/had.) Easy management through the remote virt-manager and ssh.

@Tim_G turned me onto Kimchi as a secondary management interface as well. I've successfully installed wok and kimchi, but haven't opened the port yet, will get that done tonight after grabbing an ssl cert.

Also got the first vm uploaded last night, tomorrow looks to be a big day in my home lab.

I'd like to see recent references; everything I have found hasn't been updated / linked to since 2019 about the 2014-2015 incident.

What has changed? Nothing.

Why should anyone keep reporting no news?

Exactly - There's nothing newer because they haven't been caught doing any dirty shit in the past 2-3 years. But at the same time - the same management is in charge, so why would we expect them to do things right?

I think that they've been caught. It's just so unimportant to American consumers if Chinese companies are spying on them that literally reporting it has no value.

Thanks @NDC. @DustinB3403 already offered his spare bedroom, so I probably get DD duties (I don't drink much.)

"Not on my list"
"List of what?"
"Things i give a Shit about"

I am waiting on Confirmation from @shannon, @Rob and @aboyd They haven't answered my emails this week at all 😞

@scottalanmiller said in Well, that really, really sucks.:

If I wasn't running on zero sleep and had four kids in tow I would have stopped in Wooster for a bit this afternoon as I drove through! I ate at your Taco Bell, though!

@scottalanmiller likes to live dangerously on road trips! Taco Bell is great for a cheap meal, but often times is a cause of distress.

Never bothers me like that. Not at all, in fact it's one of the mildest meals that I can eat.

@jt1001001 said in Amtrak, share your experience!:

@scottalanmiller Now i have to road trip to our Pittsburgh office I'm hungry!

NTG started in Ithaca but put us in Pittsburgh very early on and it was great. The food there was amazing.

@scottalanmiller said in Phoronix with another file system performance test, F2FS and brtfs.:

Remember that BtrFS like ZFS is designed for everything except performance. Being fast was never expected or intended to the goals of filesystems of these types. Anyone looking for performance from them is quite lost. They are "fast enough" for sure, but never were they expected to compete with traditional filesystems that do so much less.

While I generally agree, I'd hate to have btrfs or XFS as the backing storage for XenServer, even at small scale single server settings.

But...

Why? Why do you feel that a tiny bit of filesystem performance is going to be a big deal in most cases? What is driving you to react in that way to it? XFS is super fast, the polar opposite of BtrFS. Why would you hate both? What would make you happy?

Doh, meant ZFS, not XFS.

Considering how many people clamor to get ZFS or BtrFS for virtualization then rave about the performance, I think that the reaction proves the point - the performance never mattered in the first place 🙂

That's why we switched to running it on Ubuntu with Snaps. Runs great.

@stacksofplates said in Netflix starts to get with the program on more Linux distributions.:

That's 99% the reason I was using Chrome instead of Chromium or Firefox.

Yeah, same!

@travisdh1 said in Verizon.... Doing real great huh?:

I'll grant you these numbers are from before Verizon got with the program and started paying a little attention to T-Mobile. These were the top two stories at dslreports this morning.

Verizon Sees Record Wireless Subscriber Loss Thanks to T-Mobile
Verizon Sees a Net Loss of 13,000 FiOS TV Customers

Amazing what happens when just a little competition is around.

@Minion-Queen Will those new plans from Verizon start cutting your bill down?

I already cut it down a bit going to the new unlimited data plan saved about $100 a month so far (my bill is still too much).

About time. And very interesting.

@Tim_G said in Dell R510 RAID Battery Replacement:

Okay I realize I totally hijacked your thread. Can I get this split off as a new topic in the sam-sd forum?

I'll do that once I'm at a real computer.

@scottalanmiller things like bootstrap are all about mouse vs finger, pointer vs touch
