Re: Let the experts in

Those investigations have already been stopped.

I wonder why. Would have been a great victory for the western countries to point fingers at Russia. Hmm, weird? Could it have been that US did exactly what they repeatedly said they would do??

Re: Eavesdroppers from the FAA

It is the opposite.

The data will be automatically removed and overwritten unless a circuit breaker is pulled.

Re: OK, I'll bite

Which FOSS solution is as integrated and good in orchestration for hundreds to thousand of physical machines?

Such a thing doesn't exist even as a commercial offering.

There's hypervisors but nothing comes close to the central management features of vSphere.

Re: "trust a product from a company built on bullshit ?"

Current and former employees say that the Boeing CEO statements show that the company is now a shareholder value business and not an aerospace business. And that the comments are revealing how the CEO has no understanding whatsoever...

A whole day dedicated for fixing quality problems? Try 10 years.

I don't think you understand ZFS or even the above reply that tried to explain it to you

ZFS is blazing fast. Run it in relatively small 2U systems with 12 HDD + ZIL + L2ARC and it's on a totally different level than say 12 HDD HW RAID w/BBW and XFS.

It really is meant for the massive appliances Oracle used to sell. But will do very fine on more modest systems.

Why would anyone install it on some 2 disk system...

The integrated sharing on Solaris was great as well.

While BTRFS is a hobbyist abomination, would never run it beyond some 2-bay home NAS with *good* backups. There simply is no comparison.

Re: WRT Apple and El Reg...

Good stuff, reminds me of a funnier time. KM's were always pure gold.

Re: NRS trying to take over DNS ?

Incorrect.

It's all about one individual at the helm of a company, name of which rhymes with "nawus", and his cronies, wanting to get their hands to more internet number resources in order to lease those on for profit.

But it won't even run Office, will it? So that's right out unfortunately.

With the Start menu and task bar so messed up in W11 I'm likely going to do ESU bypass on W10 for the company fleet to have it working until W12 hopefully fixes the horrific mess.

Re: Until next time

I would argue that the much bigger problem these days are developers (oh sorry "DevOps") playing systems administrators with Docker and willy-nilly pulling in images done by who-knows-what without any constraints and considering all that smoldering mess fire-and-forget, never bothering to update anything - or indeed even understanding that they need to be updated.

The amount of images pulled in from random individuals is frankly frightening and a disaster waiting to happen. And even in the rare case they do update there's no guarantees that Jimbo in Lower Elbonistan bothers to keep their image updated.

Of course all of it is done with minimal understanding of anything, and why would understanding be necessary: just check from the README what few configuration parameters are needed to make it work and off to production it goes.

(Insert xkcd here about gluing stuff together)

I ran trivy once and there were thousands and thousands of high+ vulns in just one machine...

Re: Manifest V3 will kill many extensions

Yes indeed. I am considering migrating the company fleet to Firefox when MV2 is dead for just this reason.

Since Firefox finally supports GPOs there's no real reason to keep Chrome, except the pesky rogues in HR and Finance spewing confidential data all over Google Sheets.

Re: Rational Reason

And which country does not? Reminds me of America, who even goes as far as poisoning standards, standards processes and Intel CPU hardware. If you do not recognize which incidents I refer to I am not surprised.

Re: Not us then

Why would anyone use anything else than dovecot? That's a real question - I don't understand why.

He is probably confusing crappy Electron apps with "all software".

Bad news

This might have been a product to make a significant difference in the physical layer. Under MS I'm sure it will be soon buried.

Re: Bumpers and keycaps

It doesn't have numbers 1 or zero? Wth?

Re: Love the language

Naww, it makes no sense. How do they triage with everything powered down?

Look elsewhere

Telling all my staff during first weeks that this is the way.

Exactly

Well said.

And reporting a parody tweet as news.. LOL

Re: *I* propose ...

Ah, NetworkManager. Another crapshow from the loonies at freedesktop.org. Bane of server administrators around the world.

There is no place for this crap on a server. I know how to configure a network interface and once it is configured it stays that way.

It is totally crazy that Red Hat forces these on servers.

Re: This should not have been possible

Move fast and break things! Yeah!!1

Re: Dealing with novice users...

And what about not grouping task bar program buttons or showing window name text asking with the icon? Those are critical otherwise using the task bar is slow and painful, oh so painful

Re: I don't see the fault... until

Didn't even realize I did that until it was pointed out in a reply, and English is my second language. Interesting!

Horrible

The amount of whitespace in those explorer screenshots is just terrible. The waste of screen space is ridiculous.

Cat5e supports up to 10 meters 10GE just fine, using them on a half rack worth of servers (the rest are single-mode).

Not a good test - see random on it...

The Exos drives are crap. Have dozens of them and often the Dell H700 totally fails to recognize them. Interwebs is full of complaints about their firmware.

Re: Eco credentials

Yeah those wind turbines... Really useful?
