Another Docker article. This is definitely one of the hottest new technologies.

Centrify makes GPO for Linux - so that Linux can actually use GPO from a Windows Server. So GPO covers both, if you want it to.

Samba 4 on Linux will provide GPO to Windows as well as Linux too. So you can use Linux on both sides (server and client) for GPO if you want.

Now, so far as I know, Asus is planning on releasing a DIY kit to pop a G-Sync chip in a few of their monitors, namely the VG248QE.

Thanks. Management was pretty unhappy about the pricing practices and the reports haven't been super good so I think we are going to avoid them. We are only looking at the shared service only, our VPS come from Rackspace and Azure.

Bluehost is a bit cheaper. Taking a look at them.

I got away with only working very little today.

With the 24 drives in RAID 10 I believe that this would be a good fit for one of my clients, sadly I hear the datacenter they are moving to suggested a rig 1/10 the power with a magic SAN device.

They are asking their datacenter for server advice? That sounds pretty weird. I've honestly never heard of someone doing that before.

What kind of workload are they doing that requires this kind of horsepower?

LTS is the way to go if you are using Ubuntu.

Sort of. I've worked with shops that thought that and got seriously burned. Canonical didn't actually provide support for LTS issues and told their customers that to get support they had to upgrade to the newer, non-LTS versions. So the concept of Long Term Support in the Ubuntu world isn't what we think of it in the business class world of Red Hat, Suse or Windows. If you run into bugs that cause instability in those, they fix them. They don't tell you to leave your supported version and go to an unsupported version to get a fix.

We need to add MUD management to our intern duties. Get some ML folks busy playing over there.

I know. What a weird malware attack. I wonder how well it works.

They got their Asterisk packages very up to date. Only the OS is behind.

Oh, it's the same text. That means that my browser failed and said that I didn't post. Since I post from mobile devices that happens a lot and I expect it. So I take a copy of the text before I submit so that I don't have to retype. I never saw that there were two.

How the heck did we miss that for so long? Weird.
