Ill be damned. I just checked and there is a web UI I never saw.

Aren't you glad you posted ? 😉

@BRRABill Can't be more than $2!! Right? Memory at that size is so freaking cheap!! Seems like 2GB would be a more logical minimum size.

$2 multiplied by 500,000 units - not going to happen lol

You can easily charge $3 for that kind of upgrade, though!!

Then how do you upgrade them to the WD My Cloud EX5? 😉

Nice, thanks for sharing!

@Jason you be careful with that!

@Minion-Queen -- Yes, this code is available for anyone to test. It needs to be run from the Connection Broker, for now.

If folks find it useful enough, I may change that.

That's pretty cheap. Under $100 per 3TB drive. Storage is not very expensive anymore.

Sure, but it appears that Chocolatey is now installing applications mostly into their original location (Program Files). That location can't be messed with by anyone buy local admins.

And you can do it on CentOS with NFS too: http://mangolassi.it/topic/6130/linux-lab-project-building-a-simple-linux-nfs-server

Apparently it's "Singles Day" in China, a holiday I'd never heard of until today.

It's like cyber monday here, apparently, but with more single people.

And a lot more baby formula... http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/chinas-singles-day-blamed-for-baby-formula-shortage-in-australia/story-fnkgdftz-1227605712590

To the best of my knowledge, the Express Editions do not have an Agent. You might also encounter another issue if you rely on report subscriptions.

Very nice, thanks!

@scottalanmiller could enabling write-intent-bitmaps help with the sudden power loss in a mdadm array? If enabled they would probably cause a big impact in performance but could they help?

We have already downloaded Fedora 23 and started testing it in the lab. openSuse Leap is high on the list of things that will be in heavy use in the NTG Lab. Can't wait for our new cluster to be up. Leap will likely be the first thing that we get installed.

Not surprised you can get digital signatures for free nowdays. Probably the best protection is to trust only to MS documented digial ID services – then you are good to go.

Here is the CentOS / Red Hat documentation talking about hot swapping with MD.

I have Snappy Driver installer I use as well as Driver Booster but I agree with @JaredBusch and @scottalanmiller that for generic work PCs, most driver updates don't change anything worthwhile. Microsoft will patch most drivers over time anyways, so as long as it's not broken, why fix it?

That being said, for my personal PC, I'm fanatical about keeping my BIOS and all my drivers up-to-date. It's just how I am.
