OK I think it's VPN related. The one in that post was ospf and the one today is static routes. My guess is something on the VPN tunnels and it's routing is flipping it out. Those protocols of course aren't vpn spefic but something tells me it's likely routes from the vpns somehow causing it.

My mom uses Yahoo.

The reality though.. this is probably happening on some level with every single US based provider.

We still have some hp laserjet 8150s they use for microprinting checks. Of course the toner is like $700 each for microprinting

@Jason you are using the same argument that people often do with Windows and Linux. You mix up the impossible on Windows with the hard on Linux and see "impossible" as easier than "possible" which is obviously not true. He's doing stuff that really only can be done on XS and is hard. If he did something that "just worked" on vSphere it would basically "just work" here too.

No you said specifically he is using it outside it's designed use case which is why it's having issues. I said then don't use things for something it's not designed for. You go back and fourth on here just to make it seem like you are right so much it ain't even funny and everyone knows it but you.

With the time you spend fiddling with Xen rather than doing actual work you would save money by using vSphere or Hyper-v

Thanks, this is very helpful

It's a business time is money. It's relevant. He has a lot of issues with Xen, It's costing him money not saving him money.

Only because, normally, he's doing things that are outside the designed use case. Same problems would arise with vSphere or Hyper-V. So not relevant. Let me see you build vSphere with software RAID 10. See how long that takes you.

Don't use something for what it's not designed for.

Same could be said of the time spent fiddling with vSphere or Hyper-V.

We don't fiddle with either. We barely touch it. It just works.

I complained to an Amazon Rep cause I just bough the Nexus 6P and went through all the trouble of setting it up etc only to here it was going to be no longer supported a week later.. (I keep my phones for a long time). Anyway I got them to agree to send me an unlocked iPhone 6s Plus refurbished at no additional cost in exchange for this one.. granted I spend a but load of $$$ on amazon..

@JaredBusch said in Historic shopping mall converts to micro apartments:

I'm not into micro living, but I do think that more mall spaces like this can be reused

Yep too often they tear them down to redevelop even with there basicly new. I know around here there's like three malls and stores keep swaping between them. One becomes the "popular new one" they all move, for 2-3 years. A new developer comes in to the failing mall tears it down re-brands and creates a new mall and eviroment, then it becomes the new thing. stores move for 2-3 years.. and the cycle never ends. Makes no sense to me.

As close to iPhone as you can get without technically being an iPhone.

In what way?

Only in Design aesthetics.. In no way is it an iPhone more than the Msi Vortex is a Mac Pro.

Oh, right. You mean physical design? Who cares what it looks like? Phones all look pretty much the same anyway, don't they?

Pretty much.

I was thinking it's for static routes..

Yup the nexus line is not going to be around anymore. All but the 6P and 5X will no longer be supported after this month. the 6P/5X has less than a year of support left.

It's not expensive, so that's nice. The toilet bowl nightlight thing creeps me out, though.

But would be good for the kids. Act as a night light instead of leaving the main lights on.

Wait, are you suggesting leaving the toilet seat up at night, to serve as a nightlight?! I'm vetoing that one. Sorry.

And as we know the woman always wins...

@momurda said in HP LaserJet Pro Firmware updating:

There is a whole thread about it. Now you cant use 3rd party toner because hp thinks it violates their IP. Or maybe you can now if that is the 'fixed' firmware.

That is not an auto update of network printers. And I believe that was InkJet anyway..

@IRJ said in Another Personal Storage Discussion:

@cakeis_not_alie said in Another Personal Storage Discussion:

@IRJ Wrong.

Your insurance company wants the analysis of your personal files quite badly. As do the credit agencies, banks, governments, border patrol...you name it!

Pretty much every company or agency involved in risk assessment of individuals wants access to as much of your personal data as they can legally get. If they can't legally get it, they will settle for getting "grey market" analysis of data obtained illegally. (The law is still now in on just how illegal this is, or if it is.)

You are kidding yourself if you think, for example, that the US border patrol doesn't want every single personal file of every single foreigner in the world to be fed through a gigantic Big Data engine so that they can determine if you're a risk. You could be a terrorist, a petty criminal or - far, far worse - someone who is trying to do business without claiming so, or claiming to do business in the wrong category.

Sorry man, but everyone wants your data. They don't want to stare at your dick pics, but they absolutely want to know how many dick pics you have, how frequently to take them, who you send them to and what those dick pics reveal about your health, etc.

If you don't understand that threat model, you're not ready to be a sysadmin in today's brave new world.

I am a libertarian so by nature I am a conspiracy theorist and I agree that the US government wants access to your data. At the same time, if you think you can completely hide from the NSA, you are mistaken. I use VPN and TOR just like anyone else, but I am not foolish enough to believe I am 100% covering my tracks.

The US government isn't going to rob you for money like your run of the mill hacker would. Run of the mill hackers that target personal accounts are looking for easy pickings. They aren't going to try to go out of their way to break any encryption when there is an infinite amount of low hanging fruit out there.

Tor is super easy to track... NSA controls most of the exit nodes anyway..

@Kelly said in Google Pixel Phone:

Exactly. This is a reduction in both competition and innovation rather than the reverse. They're offering an undifferentiated device at an undifferentiated price point and abandoning the reverse competitive position. This is what I do not understand.

Yup makes me not care for android. I don't want a Device that takes forever to get updates, nor do I want the bloated and expensive ones that Samsung makes. So there is no market that matches my needs on Android anymore. Nexus fit that perfectly.

@coliver said in Google Pixel Phone:

We're talking about the Pixel. The gap the Pixel filled was the same one that the Nexus tried to fill. A solid, stable, reference device that should compete directly with the iPhone but also to keep the other vendors on their toes and force them to differentiate the market.

Except the Pixel will be 1.) way more expensive. 2.) not vanilla android.

I just bought the Nexus 6P.. I think I'm returning it and going back to my iPhone 6. Mostly because of the Bluetooth issues and with the Pixel coming out it's confirmed google will abandon and stop supporting the nexus line. Sad espcially since I like vanillia android and the openness compared to iOS but at least things work on iOS..
