@Minion-Queen said in Is Mangocon still happening?:

I am working on that (yes I know @Dashrender I have been). But hope to get it done this week.

Boss just won't approve it without documentation of value.. and the only way I can go is if I use my training time, otherwise out of vaca.

Ditto, and I love all you crazy people but MangoCon is firmly in the "work" not "vacation" category.

I've used Sumatra PDF in the past to print in batch. Looking at the command line options, it appears to support printing a single page.

I've used this one a lot.

We have all Ricoh/Gestetner/Lanier MFPs. I love them They are rock solid. we paid $2500 for the printer, a table top model that's rated at 20K/month, but if you do more than 8K the local support vendor says you're taxing the machine and recommends an upgrade.

We have monthly maintenance on the units which includes the cost of tone/parts/labor at something like $0.015/page I think was have most of them at a min of around 2000/pages a month. Anything over 2000 pages is just billed at the above rate, but it's a flat rate of $30/month.

With a unit we has installed last Aug, we've already had the fuser replaced twice under maintenance, no extra costs.

no idea on your question, but i never thought to use this feature.

going to be setting this up.

We are very happy to see these. Nearly 11K Read IOPS, that's awesome.

@ntoxicator said in Get Large Disk Images on XenServer 6.5 on Local Filesystem?:

@Scale computing nodes...... same limitations I presume?

Sorry for taking a week to see the mention. Thanks for thinking of us.

No, the limitation does not exist on the Scale HC3 clusters. We do not have artificial size limitations. We have tested VMs much larger than 2TB without issue.

I'll definitely share! ))

And yes, backup and high availability discussions are actually real world cases where understanding calculus is practical for envisioning how these factors interact.

I hope they bring back the, "Dude You're getting a Dell" campaign.

thanks!

LANSweeper looks very promising!!

Yeah. been a user for 3 years now.

Really great product, rock solid, very light on performance hogging, fast data capture and accurate error messages if it can't get the data, it's also incredibly cheap compared with other options out there.

Could a FreePBX state be setup with all of features requested? I'm guessing a third party client software would be needed.

Of course we have Telegram and Rocket.chat, but those are chat only clients, I think... So missing the rest.

That's why Elastix insists on having OpenFire built in. You can do a lot of that stuff with the combination.

FreePBX offers a XMPP module. Have not used it for the same reason I have not used OpenFire in Elastix. No one in my current customer base wants an in house only chat platform.

Yeah this is the problem, internal only chat is damned near useless.

@scottalanmiller said in Azure Outage... Again:

The loss of knowledge of concrete was such a big deal that until the mid 1700s, we had gone over a thousand years without any idea of how concrete was made. So Rome was making concrete builds for hundreds of years longer than we've known about concrete in modern times.

That means that for well over a millennium... humans had to look upon the structures of the Roman Empire and say... that's so neat, what the heck is that material that they used?

It's interesting what history lost. Archimedes made steam engines 2000 years before we figured it out as well but it was useless at the time because slave labor was so cheap.

The only reason why some empires f.e. Russia did exist so long (and keeps existing BTW).

I've been having issues with Chrome resolving pages lately...not sure why...but it's been across multiple computers and multiple platforms...which makes me sad because I REALLY like Chrome...

As far as engineering versus IT... that is a decision that can only be made by you. They are two different fields. Both are fine fields. But only you know which one is going to make you happy. And that's what is most important.

@olivier said in XenCenter - Better Performance Graphs:

We'll have indeed more sources coming (and better graphs) in the 5.x branch. There is a lot of sources available, so again, the thing will be to display main graph and allow extra stuff if needed.

Awesome, be sure to share screenshots when it is ready!

@olivier said in XenServer Export Performance Seems Poor:

You can create a basic backup schedule and de-activate the compression, then run the job manually. You'll have an export without compression.

When I was running my test, it seemed the exporting directly from XC was quicker than running a one time backup from XO of the same VM to the same location. The export of a small VM (I set it up just for testing this) was about 6 minutes, and the backup was 13.

But it sounds like what you are saying is that it should have been the opposite.

@larsen161 Agreed. You might also want to configure S3 to move the data to Glacier after xx number of days and automate the procedure. Not sure if you need access to the data after it's been backed up, but adding replication to another AZ might be worth looking into as well.
