No, it is not failover, it is still load balancing. Your server will have loads of traffic. It will be split up to the different NICs. Just a single action can't be split up, it has to be on a single NIC. But as you do many things at once, this affects you very little. Failover means you only use one NIC at a time, very different than using them all at once like here.

Helps to keep the ankle stretched as well. Could tighten up otherwise.

Did this become a... wait for it...

Even though they do have tab completion.

And the weird format. Why did they have to make it all so weird?

This thread is back? Whoa.

They moved the reload button.

That kind of stuff is just frustrating.

The only thing I can figure is a) he wants to schedule a script or b) an instance will be powered off normally, but he wants it to come on at a specific time.

Which is weird. You pay even if it’s off. So just bring up instances when you need them.

Right I read a post the other day someplace where the OP was wanting to turn off Azure servers after hours. You still pay for those until they are destroyed.

But the OP in that thread mentioned something about some agreement you can get that you pay less for powered off servers.

I wonder what the use case is for that vs just bring them up when you need them?

Automatically creating/destroying cloud instances on an as-needed basis would be a great thing to automate, actually.

Creating and destroying is not turning on and off.

This can NOT be good. New Mario movie coming.

I'll add my voice... I'm lost.

These guys make several tools, maybe one of them will meet your needs?

Like SmokePing or RRDtool?

I used Pidgin on Windows, and there is a version for it on Linux that I have never tried as I have not used IRC in a few years.

IRC is just really dead outside of a few circles.

Same here, haven't used IRC in many years.

Whoopsie, that's a good way to lose your pilots license.

@scottalanmiller Hope that she feels better soon.

Welcome @quixoticgerber

@black3dynamite Good cast for a bit of a cheesy movie. I forgot that that thing even existed.

AlienVault has a lot of fans. Seems to be the popular choice.

@rojoloco not nearly as hot as Rachel.

Something about the way her hair is in that picture is off-putting for me.

And you're right Scott, Rachel is definitely hotter!

Way hotter, yeah that hair is bad.

In Soviet Russia, KDE MATEs with YOU!

Or something like that.

@scottalanmiller said in Freepbx Voicemail Storage Warning:

Good point, is there a reason that you don't just grow the storage?

Not possible with Vultr instance, right? Have to expand while virtual machine?

With Vultr, you can add block storage on a per GB bases as needed. So yes, you can do it with Vultr without expanding the VM itself.
