Never heard of ownCloud but tried watching some of the features videos

https://owncloud.org/features/

and whoever made them sounds like a 14 year old boy going through puberty. Just can't keep watching.

At the core, ownCloud is basically a self hosted DropBox.

I use it at multiple clients and use it personally.

Hmmm guess I'll have to try it out. I like the idea of staying off the grid with my files. What's your beef against having your own hosted email server?

It's the all in one that he doesn't like. Same basic reasoning as to why Windows SBS was so horrible.

Eh? I though you, @scottalanmiller didn't like self hosted email because it is often way to expensive for someone to host themselves compared to what they get service wise going with something like Rackspace ($1 Spiceworks price, $2 normal people price + $1/user for activesync, or $4 for O365 email only).

That's correct. What makes you say that as if I said something contrary?

Only that you mentioned the "it's the all in one that he doesn't like" when talking about email being added to Owncloud.

That may be one person's desire, but it seems more pressing to push on the issue of almost never self hosting email if possible.

Maybe, but that wasnt what I was answering 🙂

oh, what did I miss?

I was answering why he didn't like having the email on the same server as other, non-email items.

@scottalanmiller The only time I think I would consider using it would be if I had a remote office that had a metered connection (satellite) or very low bandwidth available.

Even then I would only do it exclusively in a company that sends a lot more email internally rather than externally and that would probably be a big company and that would likely mean that we just need to fix the Internet situation.

I was still talking about WSUS.

OpenVMS, now that's good stuff.

Not over telnet, ha ha ha.

It has OpenSSH. If you had only telnet, someone decided to just leave it wide open. VMS Admins are hard to find and always were.

I didn't take well to OpenVMS, mostly because near the end of my time there in 2002 they tossed it at me. Gotta love the, you know UNIX, so you already know everything you need to know about OpenVMS attitude. Couldn't have set me up to fail any better, and I was too young to know what was going down.

It's the beginning of Skynet.

Already exists actually.

our latest packages no longer perform this step automatically but put the server in maintenance mode and inform the system administrator to run the upgrade by hand.

And if you do not pay close attention to the screen when the yum update is running (or allow yum-cron to install), you will miss the warning and have to try and figure out WTF happened to your install.

that's just laughable!

This looks awesome, I have it downloading right now.

Hope its just the sourceforge and NOT the package itself infected

Sourceforge is a known malware "dealer" that hides malware in things that they download.

For that money I would totally consider one of these. That would be a lot of fun.

I've been using calendar.google.com since I accepted that at least one company will know more about me than I do myself. I've got other apps pulling the schedule in as well.

@scottalanmiller said:

I especially like the idea that Windows desktops are heading towards becoming just an app that runs on Linux.

That would be a-door-able.

If I understand correctly how that app works, it streams video content from public trackers. Poor quality and a huge risk for legal repercussions. And while open source licensing allow them to avoid legal trouble - except the original developers - the end users are exposed to all kinds of issues.

Only if illegal where you live. This is perfectly legal in much of the world, including parts of Europe.

My wife got a letter from Verizon once, because, silly me, I was downloading from Kickass. I know in Germany you can get in real trouble for torrenting. In Poland torrenting is legal for "private use" as long as you don't share it - I know, real geniuses we have in our government, part of why I migrated.

I bet he was drinking PBR. He's white trash and in trouble lol

Wow, I need to read a bit more... apparently skimming the article and the OP didn't help with comprehension.
