    Yesterday my desktop overheated (needed to be cleaned). So went to the Surface3 and worked all day. Running about 10 tabs in between explorer (yes I use that) and Chrome had Skype open for IM and a couple calls. And listened to music on it via Pandora1. Did see any lag at all. My only real complaint is the brightness of the screen or lack there of. Compared to a laptop or my Ipad the screen is not as bright as I would like.

    Good to hear, we just ordered one of these for a new sales person. If it is better then the Pro 2 (as many reviews are saying) then they will have no problems using it.

    It is significantly better than the 2. I am really happy with it.

    A surprisingly high number of people in IT are faking that they are able to do their jobs. It's very important for your own career to recognize when people actually know what they are talking about and when they are bluffing. Which people you can trust with advice and which you cannot.

    Here is the SAR report for the server. Remember we are running at half the cores, half the memory that is recommended - mostly just as an experiment to see how much is really needed for things to be responsive. And so far, ingesting five servers, it is working just fine. We will be adding more servers and keeping an eye on things to see how the performance is and will grow the server if we need to. We are trying to learn from this so that we will have better capacity information. But for a smaller company it looks like a very small server will work just fine. No question that the server is busy, but now that it is up and running and no longer handling the initial setup, it's nowhere near being fully loaded.

    @thecreativeone91 im using 2n gateway and voipswitch.com. we found a solution by filtering these number in voipswitch so they dont pass. the thing i want to know why most of the voip companies do this sending fake calls

    How would they determine a real or a fake call? They are all the same.

    Think of it like you have a phone at home. Sometimes you make calls to your cousin to see about going out for dinner tomorrow. Then your kid makes a prank call to a restaurant and asks for a patron with a silly name. There is no way, looking at the voice traffic, to know which calls are real and which are prank. When you hear the call it is pretty easy to determine, but humans can determine these things in ways that computers cannot. And even humans often fail - or else prank calls wouldn't be funny. And even if they could make the judgement call, the voice trunk provider doesn't have the right to block calls, nor the responsibility, nor any incentive.

    I like PluralSight a bit.

    I like it, I just think it's a little bit expensive for what it is, as it's really only supplemental material. you still need a book for the Cisco and MS certs and labs.

    $29.95. Not horrible.

    Yes,
    A gateway is just a device for getting from one subnet to another (or to the internet) so any device connected this way that has the ability to route is considered a gateway. This really isn't the standard though, unless you have a web filter.

    I'm not worried about it anymore. I setup keys between my C@C and local server and got Rsync working that way. I'm dropping AWS.

    So you switched to.... keys? What was the complaint then?

    Yes, I'm using keys. Never mind. I already explained it. Lol

    I have keys setup between my servers so I can ssh without a password, so if you get that setup, these are my scripts...

    On the cloud server:
    #!/bin/sh

    cd /var/www/databases

    mysqldump -u root --password=mypasswordthanksaj > thanksaj.sql
    mysqldump -u root --password=mypassword literaryworksbyaj > literaryworksbyaj.sql
    mysqldump -u root --password=mypassword builtbyart > builtbyart.sql

    rsync -chavzP --stats /var/www/* [email protected]:/var/www/

    **On the local server: **
    #!/bin/sh

    cd /var/www/databases/

    mysql -u root --password=mypassword thanksaj < thanksaj.sql
    mysql -u root --password=mypassword literaryworksbyaj < literaryworksbyaj.sql
    mysql -u root --password=mypassword builtbyart < builtbyart.sql

    So I export the MySQL databases to /var/www/databases as .sql files and then rsync them to the local server. The local server imports said files into its local databases. I use cron to schedule all this.

    Local server:
    0 6,18 * * * /home/aj/scripts/aj-import-wordpress-dbs >> /srv/samba/share/import_wordpress_dbs.log 2>&1

    Cloud server:
    0 5,17 * * * /home/user/scripts/aj-sync-wordpress >> /var/log/aj-logs/sync_wordpress.log 2>&1

    Then I use Unitrends to backup the local server. 🙂

    We'll see how this works!

    Thanks,
    A.J.

    Thank you for the follow up on this issue. After closer review, it appears the build failed to complete. This resulted in the droplet not being created. You will want to re-attempt creating the droplet. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

    Complain I say, complain!
