New Year's Eve beach bonfire sparks 'firenados' in the Netherlands
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46727838If you didn't watch the video... Things really spiraled out of control, ha ha.
Man... I could just keep watching that video. It's oddly satisfying. Really pulls you in.
This is on my list.... +1 to getting a new server in a colo.

Star Trek: Enterprise
That's the prequel right? I watched a few episodes of it. Not the best Star Trek series... it seemed like it was on par with TOS for how bad the writing was.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is movie that you can interact with. You have two options to choose from when presented.
It's really good. I got 4 of the 5 major endings and probably watched it for 2.5-3 hours. Some of the ending are a bit meh but others really felt like a Black Mirror episode.

"Lucifer" on Netflix
I've been watching it. If you ignore the police procedural part it's a halfway decent show. Apparently season 4 is going to be an R or higher rating.
It just seems like such a waste of the source material right now.
You mean the Bible?
No, it's based on the vertigo comics' Lucifer comic book. Which was a spin off of Sandman.

Has anyone done a how to on this yet?

Surprisingly good documentation.
HAProxy is really powerful. We use quite a few of them here.

How do you like it?
I like it a lot. It's been really good.
Can you send me the model number? I'm looking for a Surface competitor.
Eh, some bad games spoil the bunch I guess? I know of a few decent Freemium games, WarFrame comes to mind, but you're probably right that the vast majority are just cash grabs.

I’ll be drone for Christmas: London airport closed for day by drone harassment
Gatwick CEO says drone flights designed to "bring maximum disruption" for Christmas.
In what appears to be the first intentional use of drones to disrupt civil aviation, continued sightings of two remotely piloted aircraft flying over and around the airfield at London's Gatwick Airport starting the evening of December 19 have forced the airport to remain closed to flights for over a day. In a letter posted to Gatwick's website, Gatwick Airport's CEO called the continued drone activity "a highly targeted activity which has been designed to close the airport and bring maximum disruption in the run up to Christmas." He also said the airport is cooperating with law enforcement to end the "criminal activity."
Turrents stationed through out the perimeter of the property with an adequate supply of 40 caliber ammunition and the problem should begin to go away.
That's the exact problem that they have. Can't be dropping random 40 cal round down all over London! That's why they can't open fire right now.
Okay, so it doesn't have to be 40 cal, but enough to deter drones.
Hawks and Falcons are being specifically trained for this type of shit. They also have a RF jamming "gun" to combat it... but that of course will mess up just about everything in the area.

Thank youI had to read it a half dozen times to figure out what they were trying to say.
Wrong.
It very clearly says
"People are eating children in this area"
"Please leash your dog and clean up after them. Thank you"
That's true as well.

I'm really enjoying Destiny 2. Haven't had a lot of time with it.... but the pacing is just about right for what I'm looking for.

You could deploy an image using FOG
While this was my initial thought as well, he has asked about doing this simultaneously. Which fog generally isn't "all at once go".
It kind of is...I was using FOG to do multicast imaging 7 years ago. We're talking 30-60 machines at a clip.
Sure it can do it but that doesn't mean that you should do it. It's about network performance and if you're not setup for it you'll encounter massive slowdowns
Mutlicast is the way to go. You can even do it over broadcast domains. It sounds like you didn't have multicast configured correctly? Even doing 60 machines we didn't see any network slowness associated with imaging.
