Was this announced there? I saw this on their website last week.

They just sent out the email announcement.

How is that different/better to the half a dozen chat apps I have already which do exactly that?

Apple have a big leap forward in their OS with Imessage, I can send SMSes to my contacts via my computer but it relays through the phone, perfect.

Cortana can do that now too.

So the UniFi lines main feature is central management, just judging from the name? I'm more into Cisco / Juniper / Nortel / Enterasys etc, never dealt with Ubiquiti but I'm open to anything new.

Yes, UniFi would remind you of Meraki, but you host your own controller and don't have to deal with an annual charge for owning the gear.

The UniFi line is also more limited in functionality than EdgeMax when it comes to the routers. I have not compared the switches.

I don't care about any routers, I'm a pfSense junky 😉

What kind of hardware are you using for your pfSense routers?

I'd enjoy a new post about the Pros/Cons of pfSense / DIY routers

Not a bad idea. What to post that?

Sigh... if I must.

grumbles about needing a full service forum

@Dashrender said in AT&T to Buy Time Warner:

Now I have to ask - are we looking for more mobile content? Again, maybe it's just the Luddite in me saying no.

Is who looking for it?

LOL that's my question. The claim from Scott's article is that this merger will help create more, or maybe it's meaning that ATT will just get to keep revenue from mobile content.. I don't know.

I don't watch Netflix on my phone, I suppose I do the occasional YouTube Video, but normally only over WiFi, not broadband.. soooooo....

These kinds of speeds would be great for implementing an iSCSI SAN or FCoE.

I can't believe that they don't have a RHEL package at least!

Well... this bug was "fixed" a decade ago but a year after the fix the fix was taken out because it interfered with a different patch.

Fixed again, whatever mod is taking the plural out of CPUs and making it into a possessive CPU's, please stop.

Hopefully for use in something a little more powerful than a Pi. As much as I like Raspberri Pis, they just don't have the power.

Scotty! More power!

Lots of powerful ARM devices out there these days.

Nvidia's shield? Bet that would run some containers with ease.

It would, for sure. I have the top end Shield and that baby has some serious power. Several cores, integrated GPU, 3GB RAM.

@stacksofplates I'll vote for Inkscape, too. It's solid.

Ya for digital stuff, it's awesome. I can see why people don't use it for print much because of the lack of CMYK but I did design these labels for my buddy's brewery and they turned out not too bad.

Shout out for Yardley and The Vault! 🙂

I'm surprised they're on 8. It's a really big change from 7.

@mlnews said in Fedora 25 Beta Released:

Replace Fedora distro ISO downloads with Fedora Media Writer. Instead of simply downloading an ISO, this multi-platform tool automatically downloads the installation ISO images and use them to create a bootable USB drive or DVD disc.

They already have that. Hopefully you can still download the ISO.

Does this version of Ubuntu have the XFS file system, or was it the predecessor?

I think you mean ZFS. That came out with 16.04

Thank you, yes ZFS is what I meant.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/+source/zfs-linux

It is there is 16.10.

Let me describe it this way, I think this will make sense.

Software is like a story or poem If someone says "you should write a love story", you should not get to patent "love stories" If you write an actual love story, you get an automatic copyright for having done so protecting "your love story" from theft
