    @NetworkNerd I have 9 volumes, 5 of which are active. I re-create volumes every so often and let the backups on the other volumes sit until they expire. I am actually in the process of a rebuild. I came in yesterday morning to a failed drive. I put the new drive in at like 11:30 and it still says it has like 40 hours left for rebuild.

    So for example, if it detects that you passed the --socket flag if would hit that condition and then look for the ${1} which would be the following parameter and sets the socket variable to that value and tells it to move on or shift to the next argument and continue the loop.

    @travisdh1 Who/what is in charge of "controlling" all those users & their access?

    ownCloud.

    I assumed the users will access more than oC even though the drawing doesn't show that?

    Ah, well that's different then.

    I should've just labeled the server as "Services" instead of "OwnCloud"

    Looks like there is quite a bit included in the free version for up to 10 premium users, and 10 basic users. Interesting.

    Yes, it is quite extensive.

    Time for new MSP? 😛

    I hope this isn't TekSystem's cause I'm getting ready to contract some remote work to them haha.

    There are other providers who can do work remotely 😉

    This isn't working remotely. This is remote datacenter that the closest we have people to is 8hrs or so away. Most for Hands to rack stuff etc.

    I have to look up SSL certification on CentOS 7 now. I've only ever done it on our Barracuda SSL VPN which was just an upload. Here we go

    I think you need to look up SSL for Apache if you are trying to encrypt ownCloud. I think someone has a guide on here somewhere about it.

    I think @JaredBusch has it in his 8.2 guide. I think he did self signed though. I'm unsure of how to do this on linux with digicert or something similar

    It was a self signed for the example. but I use letsencrypt myself. Some clients using ownCloud have StartSSL certs.

    What Windows 10 means for support... I have no idea. You'll notice that I only mentioned Windows Servers in my post due to the somewhat complicated world of the Windows desktop.

    Isn't Microsoft going to bring that same style of update patterns to Server 2016 as well?

    Very possible, but they haven't yet.

    Can I just plug this bootable into any old desktop and see if it'll light up? Should I expect any issues?

    Can you, yes 🙂 It won't damage anything. Will it work? Not likely. You can't do this with any other OS or hypervisor, you can't do it with Xen either. That's why Xen has to be installed rather than there just being an image that you run. The installation process is the process of customizing it for your hardware.

    Because the open source code itself can't be gotten rid of. Once something is Open Source, it's always Open Source, at least that's how I understand it.

    Exactly, open has total protection for the consumer. Once the code is open, it's open. Period. There is no going back because it belongs to everyone at that point.

    like releasing a photo of yourself and trying to take it back. It's already out there

    Thought I'd take a quick look at this. I like how the output looks, but agree that I wouldn't want to leave it running. The loadavg jumped just from starting to look at the output.

    it would have to, that is a LOT of output!

    Wow, you're not kidding about that. Even gives you the current available entropy from /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail. I've never seen something give you this much information and be so easy to get running.

    It could also be an OEM copy on the other server if you have no documentation (in which case a sticker would be on the server) and in no way are you allowed to use this on any server besides the one it's on.

    Actually, this isn't entirely true - You could use the downgrade rights of a different license, and MS allows you to reuse your OEM licenses from other machines assuming you own no VL licenses/media/keys.

    But in general, this is not a typical concern, especially on servers.

    That's not true. You either use Downgrade rights from the OEM licesnse or from another package on them machine. You don't get to use downgrade rights from another package then transfer the OEM licesnse to another system.. It doesn't work that way. You can never transfer an OEM license.

    You're misunderstanding what I said.

    Let's say you have an older Win 2008 OEM server. And you have a brand new 2012 OEM server.

    you can use the media and CD key that came with the 2008 OEM to install Windows onto the 2012 OEM server.

    Obtaining the software and keys has always been left up to the end user/company to obtain when using downgrade rights of OEM products. Of course VL licenses give the media and keys in the portal, but OEM users don't have access to that.

    So if they couldn't use the cd and key from something else they own, how would they be able to install downgrade?

    It would have been awesome if MS would have provided a portal to register your OEM licenses and hence allowing the download of a lower level key/media - but they never did this.

    Well that's different. That's not the license. That's a key. That's different.

    Your mind races because it can be anywhere from a 2 minute fix of a stuck key to a weekend lost rebuilding a server.

    Exactly, I was thinking, "Aww S89+ here goes my weekend"

    And it was just a simple fix.

    I blame a lot of this on regulations being stupid.

    In 2000 I was hired by SBC to work for their new DSL support division called Advanced Solutions, Inc. (ASI). SBC had been mandatated by the FCC to create ASI as a separate entity as a condition of the Ameritech merger.

    Part of making it a completely separate company also meant that ASI was legally not allowed to directly use SBC resources for anything. To get a CO tech to rewire a single circuit on a DSLAM was a multi hour process.

    @Dashrender a sort code and account number isn't private. it's on every cheque you have right there for anyone you pay to see. it's also on some bank debit cards. i've never had someone not share their details if I needed to pay them.
    these details are published widely even by major banks like Barclays and utility companies, Thames Water so you can pay them.

    In the US it is called the ABA not sort code. ABA are certainly not secret.

    As for an account number. No thanks. not going to get it from me. Then again I also do not have a checkbook. I pay the minimal fee to get a money order when I rarely (typically not even once a year) need to pay that way.
