What's your take on this java utility?

If I recall previous discussions, you're completely fine with server side Java things, it's client side that are horrible.

Considering this is an admin tool, is this good or bad that it requires Java?

Admin Tool = Client Side

So for me, I think it's a bit of crap there. As an admin tool I'd find it one step better than if it was for "generic" users. But in this role, it is still for an end user, just a power user (me.) And I think that any use of client side Java is rather bad. Not the end of the world, but not good. This isn't a new utility, so we can excuse the choice more than we could with a new one. But I'm certainly not planning to deploy it. There has to be better options.

I feel exactly the same way. Was mainly wondering if you did too - and well, you do 😉

Do you think this inclusion is worth a legal battle should one ensue?

Hard to say, it's a marketing ploy. How much it convinces people based on the Cult of ZFS thing, is unknown. ZFS has a quite religious following, no real technical reason to exist on Linux, so Canonical's play here is to attract that crowd. Whether it is worth it or not, hard to say.

@wirestyle22 said:

Question: Isn't the advantage of ZFS modern advances like striping, device pooling, block level CRC, etc?

Simple answer: no. Many of those things are equally negatives. Why would you want striping or device pooling in your filesystem?

Roll20.net used WebRTC also. It was really gitchy when i first started my campaign back up in it. though, so we used hangouts for the voice/video.

Thanks @scottalanmiller ! What a great resource.

Here's what it looks like now. Ignore the eth dialog box, it was stuck there for some reason. The second image is the wizard you run through. It's really easy to set up.

What OS distro is that? Looks good.

Fedora 23 with Gnome 3.

Sneaky way to promote Linux desktops. 🙂

annoyingmuse no more? i'll have to fire up some of these again and play with the VPLS/MPLS configs. whoop

@tonyshowoff Thanks! We are working really hard on the project. I hope you find some time to collaborate eventually 🙂

Definitely, I'd love to work on IRC access eventually, something along those lines.

The cable company I worked for in FL used XO. I wonder how this will affect them?

Well, they will now use Verizon 🙂

Ha ya, I wonder about rates. I remember reading some crazy prices and people weren't happy with XO's service (but then again I think that's every provider).

In regards to the discussion about FWD vs RWD, I thought this video was applicable...

Yeah... time for a new firewall...

Nah - security issues happen, and you patch them when they do.

A reason for a new firewall is the Cisco tax - ERL is 1/5 the cost of a cheap ASA appliance and no yearly maintenance.

Pretty awesome. I'll happily buy one to play with at that price.

Wow, that dashboard is sharp!

That seems like it's the furthest away from what the company actually does without being in another field. Kind of like McDonald's opening a build your own pizza shop.

Actually it's an entirely different field. Like McDonald's opening up a flower shop. ISP and hosting service are not related.

I was thinking technology as a whole but ya that's true.

I have a hard time believing they will be able to secure their own as much as the big companies.

I'm sure the KGB will be part of the process, same as the NSA gets involved with Microsoft 🙂

Much harder to do with open source since people could compile stuff themselves.
