    SSL and TLS protect people from spying on an existing communications channel, but does nothing to protect the end points. It's just a service that has to respond to any incoming request.

    No, I meant the two Program Files directories, as there isn't just one unless you are running 32bit.

    Yeah I did forget about that - never really understood the reason for that split - the users sure the heck don't care!

    I find pagination works better even on full devices.

    I prefer the infinite scroll as long as it works right. It mostly works well on here.

    I prefer it when it works too 🙂

    That Norco might work, but looking at it, I'm curious what the usable dimensions are inside. The exterior depth shows 31.5" and the Dell Standard depth is 28 7/8. That's cutting it pretty
    close. I haven't found a spec sheet or anyone talking about the interior dims yet.

    This is a little damaged apparently, but might be the right idea.

    The key in this regard is to not expose port 80. Though I'm sure hackers can still exploit flaws in the listener for SSL, when they exist.

    You can bind SSL to port 80 if you want. the browsers won't care.

    As far as I know
    RTO = Recover Time Objective - The amount of time it will take to get a failed system back online

    RPO = Recover Point Objective - How much data do I loose from this moment backward.

    Und? 🙂

    Update. If I create an event on the Surface with the calendar it shows up in the Zoho calendar, however if I create an event in Zoho it does not show up on the Surface.

    First thing is you're going to want to set up an ISO share so you can start launching VMs. I set up a CIFS share so that I can just put ISOs into a folder on my workstation and have XenCenter automatically be able to mount them.

    I don't want this on my workstation. Does XenServer not have a method to locally store files someplace?

    With Hyper-V I can just drop iso files in a folder on the C/D/E/Whatever drive.
    With VMWare I can upload iso files to a folder on the the datastore.

    As @DustinB3403 linked you have to add it from cli through the Dom0. Kind of stupid if you ask me.

    May be kinda stupid, but considering they have a Dom0, kinda makes sense. It's the same in Hyper-V. ESXi is the odd-man out here, but then, there's no Dom0 there.

    I understand since the Dom0 doesn't have much room, but they should give you the option to mount a usb through XenCenter though.

    They don't, I believe, because they want the XC interface to be easy for people working with pool, which is the majority of their base. Using a USB drive on a single host makes a lot of sense when you have only one host but when you have a lot of them it would potentially get really confusing.

    Wait, why are you limited to graphically? If you're using a CLI, why isn't that VDI? is it because of the term desktop in "Virtual Desktop Infrastructure"?

    It's all about the graphical desktop. If you are using a CLI on a one to one deployment, sure, that would be a very weird VDI.

    One could easily argue that NAS and other appliances are the antithesis of simplicity as they are so complex that you require the vendor to support them rather than being able to support them yourself.

    I'm not saying that I agree, only that it is a valid point and needs to be considered. Appliancization is not an automatic move to simplicity on its own.
