lol, that is all.

Too late. I've been channeled.

Gone are the days when you could go into CompUSA and pick up a part like this, unless you guys have a few cards around the office or have a few connections to get equipment to set this up...

Seems like a few more days before this'll be up.

Especially since it is a holiday week.

Nahh, Just order them off Amazon with Prime.

@scottalanmiller That would be nice. I'll hold my breath.

I have Centurylink at home. I can do a quick check from there when I get home. Maybe unrelated, but I was having some severe issues with DNS a couple weeks back at home.

I'll post more info on my findings tonight.

Thanks.

LUKS will work great for that. We used it in big finance to deal with stuff like government bank account details.

Both a non-significant threat and already resolved by the major distros. But good to be aware of these things. Good reminder that physical access means security has been breached.

Now one might argue that the solution provider does take this into consideration and fully expects their customers to rebuy when "required to" because the underlying software is considered a security risk. But we all know that this is rarely if ever the case.

Yes but... it makes it the customer's fault 🙂

What's just as bad is often the vendor doesn't have a new solution either.

No different than offering no solution at all. It means that the vendor no longer offers a supported product. Time to move on.

I'm actually setting up an XO VM right now...

Great minds.

From what I saw though, in a future release (coming soon...) they are building in incremental backup functionality to XO.

Which is AWESOME.

No this was the one from XenCenter.

I just destroyed the patch as it seemed to be bugged.

xe patch-list
xe patch-destroy uuid=<UUID of Patch>

@scottalanmiller I have downloaded Ubuntu 15.10 now.I will try with that soon

Ergo... not an important problem to solve 🙂

Think at this point - going to mark this as Solved.

Awesome..

Who knows how long this vulnerability was in place? Seems like they really wouldn't want to disclose that information or just don't know. Kind of sad for a security company.

This likens back to the Lenovo conversation. Are they malevolent or just incompetent?

Well I half'd it, set the minimum to 1GB and the Max to 4Gb and now have a Committed of 1.4/9.0GB...

So yeah this VM can't do math... or something else is scaling it..

The Pentium bug is back... 2 + 2 = 5!

huh, it sounds like you take that WAY farther that I've seen anyone, including hospitals take it.

We've already established that I am a "What-If" planner with OCD. Would you expect any less?

In all seriousness, though, we have a lot of clients in healthcare and pharma, and they require that level of protection.
