That's new to me. Posting a post about Octoblu itself now.

@dafyre said in Can You Install FreeNAS to a Single RAID 6 RAIDZ2 Array:

Who are you and what have you done with @scottalanmiller ... Actually using FreeNAS for something?

I was just about to say the same thing. Or maybe his account was hacked.

Congrats on being employable again though.
Must be a nice feeling to have that option back.

@fuznutz04 @Reid-Cooper I'm logged in as the admin, never logged in as otherwise on this phone.

@scottalanmiller said in Installing MongoDB 3.2 on CentOS 7:

Just tested and deployed to CentOS 7.2 on Linode.

This failed me, so I went to the mongo docs and the baseurl contains the variable $releasever.

using that results in redhat//mongodb in the file, which is why I assume you hard coded that bit.

Escaping the $ fixes it.

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.2.repo <<EOF [mongodb-org-3.2] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/\$releasever/mongodb-org/3.2/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc EOF

Once up and running it acts like it works, but then gets this error and is useless.

@scottalanmiller I not quite at that max but pretty close at 56TB in a single volume local storage. Running Win 2012 R2 VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 hypervisor. So far so good (2 yrs now). No issues other than that initial backup was a real b1tch but now that it's incremental, it's all good. No other caveats that I'm aware of.

@Breffni-Potter I didn't find it over priced, 8 dollars for the month I was going to use seemed pretty good to me. Care to share other products similar to it, I'd love to test others.

@aaronstuder said in Skype for Linux Alpha:

or stop complaining about alpha software.

Then we can start complaining about a lack of software. They had production software that stopped working. This is what they replaced it with.

@scottalanmiller Plain

So, if it's not making enough benefit, better to leave it updates on it's own ? (automatic updates, individually)

And update to Windows 10 so that you get all the WAN benefits of WSUS without needing WSUS itself.
I think, it's about "Delivery Optimization " ? I will have a look....

Windows 10 has this great peer to peer functionality where patches and updates get downloaded to the LAN and the workstations share them amongst themselves. It's awesome, automatic functionality that improves your WAN utilization, speeds patching and lowers the cost of Windows maintenance for Microsoft.

Looking at the details page, here is a limitation depending on how you handle client accounts, or your own accounts.

What are the Lightsail service limits?
You can currently create up to 20 Lightsail instances, 5 static IPs, and 3 DNS domain zones in a Lightsail account.

But this is pretty cool. Ability to manage traffic before it hits your VPS:

Can I manage firewall settings for my instance?
.
You can control the data traffic for your instances by using the Lightsail firewall. From the Lightsail console, you can set rules about which ports of your instance are publicly accessible for different types of traffic.

Havent worked on Zimbra in the last 5 years (so not sure whats new with Zimbra) , but i guess the selling point for this would be the ease of setting this up

as a linux noob I like the fact that it's a self contained single package that I can dump into a VM

Zimbra?

@travisdh1
Of the three videos of the 'same ' project, they all soldered wires to GPIO and Power pins on the bottom, and then used electrical tape to insulate the USB metal housing from the board.

I expected that someone could 3d print a bottom cover / USB housing...

@art_of_shred said in iSCSI port w/Windows iSCSI initiator dropping:

Is Free-NAS ever a good idea? I've only ever heard nasty things said about it.

Only if you know nothing about building and managing storage is it going to serve a purpose. BSD or Solaris without the added bits would be the preferred route to use ZFS.

And if you don't know those bits, you should not be running a SAN.

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 corrupt profiles:

I have noticed in the last 24 hours at least 4 machines, over both 1511 and 1607 that have corrupted profiles.

The tell tale sign is seeing a question mark next to the size in User Profiles

anyone else run into this? If yes, how did you fix it?

We had to delete and rebuild the profiles on the machine we've used.

Congratulations yawl!
