    We use Cisco Any Connect that authenticates against AD, but is not tied to any kind of GPS and it works for us just fine. Except for deployment, I see no need in using GPS.

    If we use GPS for anything, it's with RADIUS for our wireless network. That works in one location but not the other. And this is only because both locations have different wireless systems and in how each system implements RADIUS and authenticates a laptop against an OU.

    Not as good, but decent. O'Reilly is pretty good in general.

    Seems to only support 2012 releases.

    Hypervisor:* Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2

    My guess is that's just from a testing perspective.

    @thwr here is what the info page had to offer:

    Problem Description:

    If you sometimes see this error on a zaptel card, this might be caused by a network card or a harddisk taking an interrupt for too long. This will cause the calls to be dropped.

    This might be caused by:

    Too much I/O activity bad hardware bad drivers

    If you see this error non stop scrolling on the asterisk CLI, you probably made a configuration error,

    Doublecheck your coding / framing specified in zaptel.conf.
    The below settings worked.

    Possible solutions:

    If you are using an intel 100mbit network card, try replacing the standard drivers with the drivers from the intel website. The drivers included in the kernel have some latency problems

    replace on board nics with some add-in cards

    Try looking if you have any shared interrupts, and try playing with disabling onboard network cards and plugging in new ones.
    See also here

    Try replacing SATA controllers with IDE controllers and tweak the hdparm settings. see this tutorial

    Stop using the harddisk on the server as much. (get rid of updatedb lines in the cron jobs).

    upgrade to a dual cpu system, more cpu's = an extra cpu to take an interrupt if the first one is busy with an interrupt that is waiting too long.

    If you are using a dual port or quad port PRI digium card, you could try to do the hdlc in hardware instead of in software.

    enable ACPI in the kernel config

    enable your chipset in the kernel config

    @stacksofplates said in Snap, Flatpack or App image what are their pros and cons?:

    I want to clarify. When I say they just aren't there yet, I mean they aren't there as the cross platform solution. They do awesome stuff, but I don't think we have a clear cross platform solution yet.

    Snap "works" in Fedora, but requires setting SELinux to permissive, so I'm not sure if that counts as working.

    Flatpack only works with GUIs.

    I don't know anything about AppImage but from what I've seen it's easier to run, but less isolating (secure).

    I'm not sure how much of the goal(s) are security versus just replacing traditional linked dependency deployments with self contained ones.

    They really tout it as a big thing. The first page on the Snap website has a whole section dedicated to Snaps being read only with dedicated storage for more security.

    Flatpak also mentions it in a called out section on their site. (Realized I was spelling it wrong ha.)

    True, they do mention it a bit. Seems like such an odd thing for them to care about. I mean, it's nice that they make part of it read only but... who cares? The big deal is the packaging. All the rest is just distraction.

    I would just get rid of the device. Selling it for parts could possibly get him in trouble if the 2nd owner came up with it in a shady way.

    Yeah, I don't know all the details. I was just asking. I agree it sounds shady but I honestly don't know what the details are.

    And, of course, a huge question is... do you expect to load balance the environment, or each site? A lot of big hosts have each host running on a single node only. So you don't actually load balance the big layers but rather have stacks for them, which is very different. Load balancing would be more common with a single high performance site, rather than a web hoster.

    @olivier said in Xen Orchestra Upgrading:

    @DustinB3403 You need to think globally 😉 Only 1 Premium is enough to not have to convince 7x Starter. And costing 7 times less in support.

    You should see Starter as "introductory offer". We'll add services step by step (like Cloud Backup).

    Yeah, supporting the SMB's is the killer.

    I think perhaps a better plan for SMBs would be, here's the product, some charge - say $500 (pulling a number out of my rear) and with that you get 4 hours of support. Then you can buy support in blocks after that.

    The hard thing, you're going up against the likes of Veeam, and because of their size, they don't have to limit it like this.

    This would be interesting. I have 3 zones for heat in my house and I never know what to set for the best efficiency.

    Ex: the bedroom zone is set to 58, but the thermostat is in a room with a closed door. If I leave it closed, it makes the bedroom where I am nice and toasty...sometimes too toasty. If I simply open the door, it is getting the heat from the living room zone, and cools down the bedroom where I am. I worry that I am using too much oil if I leave the door open.

    Saving $$$ on the oil is an issue...especially where I am. It got down to 3 degrees last night and was at 0 on Friday. Normal lows in January is 12, but it's been pretty cold this month so who knows how cold it will get!
