And while he did say in the OP he needed to backup 8 TB daily, yeah I didn't think that was likely, and wasn't surprised when we corrected himself on that point. But as of yet hasn't told us what he is rate limited to, nor what his daily changes are.

Though mentioning that they delete all the old changes - yeah I'm sure that's another miscommunication as well.

All of this leads me to think that he is trying to find written, public justification for something that he has been unable to justify himself.

It sure smells that way, don't it?

Yeah. It it looks like and duck and quacks like a duck. I totally recognize that I'm doing the "jumping to reading into their intentions" thing that I get called on a lot so I'm trying not to say that he's doing this... only that that is how it comes across and someone who was trying to falsely justify a known bad solution would do it in exactly this way. This is the pattern you would look for for someone who knows that they have done the wrong thing and have a bias and are trying to subtly inject false information to lead people away from the obvious path.

Doing it up front was one thing, but not acknowledging that his info was wrong and that obviously his logic doesn't hold up means we've left the really obvious "oops, I missed that detail" excuse window.

"Raspberry Pies just sitting on a shelf"

mmmm...

Nice.

@johnhooks Yeah it's no longer an issue.

I recompiled from scratch on a new VM and have the whole process documented in the link just there.

Seems to work.

Not new in any way, but I see security, specifically around the strategies emerging from ransomware, arising as a new area specific to those concerns.

congrats

Well that worked out well!

Yes, year end seems to be very good! Macbook Pro got serviced for FREE, this desktop fixed for a very cheap price and got the Surface Pro4, hope this is a sign for very good start for 2016! 🙂 Touch wood! 🙂

Is the ordering the same as shown? depending on the ordering it may be used for filtering down the statements.

I gotcha. Yeah... I ran into that problem too when I first started at this employer. They didn't want me to do my Hyper-V setup on hardware initially, but then I convinced them because they didn't want to make changes to production VMware servers, lol.

We have so many of them it doesn't matter. We have them with Trunked with the production lan and the Test Lan, we use the same physical hosts for both.

Windows 10 is kernel version 10. 😉 They changed it after one of the major consumer previews were released.

@coliver We can implement a "remote" of Amazon type, that shouldn't be a problem!

lol, that is all.

Too late. I've been channeled.

Gone are the days when you could go into CompUSA and pick up a part like this, unless you guys have a few cards around the office or have a few connections to get equipment to set this up...

Seems like a few more days before this'll be up.

Especially since it is a holiday week.

Nahh, Just order them off Amazon with Prime.

@scottalanmiller That would be nice. I'll hold my breath.

I have Centurylink at home. I can do a quick check from there when I get home. Maybe unrelated, but I was having some severe issues with DNS a couple weeks back at home.

I'll post more info on my findings tonight.

Thanks.

LUKS will work great for that. We used it in big finance to deal with stuff like government bank account details.

Both a non-significant threat and already resolved by the major distros. But good to be aware of these things. Good reminder that physical access means security has been breached.

Now one might argue that the solution provider does take this into consideration and fully expects their customers to rebuy when "required to" because the underlying software is considered a security risk. But we all know that this is rarely if ever the case.

Yes but... it makes it the customer's fault 🙂

What's just as bad is often the vendor doesn't have a new solution either.

No different than offering no solution at all. It means that the vendor no longer offers a supported product. Time to move on.
