Anyone using an SCO-Linux based VM in Hyper-V? My vendor is saying he could never get a Hyper-V image working but then said he uses CentOS 5, so I'm confused. Waiting for him to send me the ISO he uses.
SCO-Linux I would never expect to work on Hyper-V. MAYBE on VMware.
It does work on VMware. We currently have no replication. He told me the last time he backed it up to his system was a year ago. It's installed on a Dell 2800. He's running it out of RedHat so he can (all these words are his btw) zip up the VM's each evening and send them to the other machine, which means we can lose 24 hours of Tax data potentially.
Here's a screwdriver. Build me a house.
Yeah, but it can't be anything important. SCO-Linux has been dead for like decades. Anything running on that can't be considered "hobby level" with a straight face.
It's important, believe me. This is just another one of the situations that needed to be mitigated MUCH earlier. I'm sure it's directly related to the city not wanting to pay for anything.

Customer asked, can we get a backup of our 365 content? (they only use SP, Skype, OD, Teams).
No, but you are now a GA so you can open a ticket and ask them if you want.
I laughed a lot on the inside. -

Not wanting to pay is just a way of guaranteeing that everyone KNOWS that they don't consider it important. Remember the lesson about actions vs. words.

@scottalanmiller time stamps would've made it better. Still funny.

Hackers rarely care about "taking down" a service.

Actually that's specifically the difference. DDoS doesn't expose anything, no doors open.

That's actually the difference. One is about opening the door. The other is specifically about barricading it.

Yeah true... DDOS is more like the Big Bad Wolf... it huffs and puffs and blows your website offline.

Yeah, but doesn't breach the defenses. It's like building a wall around your castle to keep you in.
