      Yeah I got an announcement in my email about it. I was reading about it here:

      https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/12/announcing-new-amazon-ec2-m6g-c6g-and-r6g-instances-powered-by-next-generation-arm-based-aws-graviton2-processors

      @black3dynamite said in Meltdown Shows Why to Avoid LTS Releases:

      What makes Red Hat and SUSE exempt compare to CentOS and OpenSUSE leap? Because we are paying for the support?

      Nothing makes them exempt, they ARE CentOS and Leap, just paid for instead of free. They suffer just the same.

      I'm more interested when will they release the VM/container that will allow users to collaborate and edit files like office 365 on the web.

      I played with the WebDav file sharing element inside the desktop software and it was meh.

      That's been out for a while. Three months at least.

      Expensive, but looks like some really great hardware. I could definitely get by with a less expensive model.

      @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.

      @JaredBusch said in The Marriage of Microsoft and Linux:

      Also, the macOS version of Office 2016 is near completely feature consistent with the Windows version.

      And macOS is a `Nix derivative.

      I "think" that they use native libraries there (Cocoa) so that it's a port that would have to be replicated to go to native on Linux. Maybe now that 2016 is out they will just get the JavaScript version on Mac OSX and be on parity right away and be ready for Linux, too. That's another big piece of this puzzle, going to web apps is going to allow MS to now just remove the cost of making and maintaining the Mac version, but get the Linux version for free, and stop the cost of making the secondary online version. All three current versions plus the future Linux version will collapse into one. That's a massive cost savings.

      On the Ubuntu Linux family, for instance, you can fix it with the following steps:

      Open /etc/sysctl.conf, with an editor, such as vim. Enter the line: net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 999999999 Save the file. Use the shell command "sysctl -p" to update the configuration.

      I was reading up on this, Seagate expects the price per GB to be even cheaper compared to current SSD's as well.

      So it's a big jump for SSD's.

      Now comes the question of how reliable are these when build in an Array.... oh the math...

      I wonder what the release schedule looks like for 10.

      Between beginning and end of August, I'd say, but we have been rather in ad-hoc mode the last 2 months. A solid plan will hopefully come out of our hackweek in Stuttgart (you're all invited!)
