Thanks for the write-up.

Itanium was, and really still is, a pretty solid system. Incredibly per thread performance and massive cache. You can run Windows on them with zero memory - because the entire OS can operate out of cache! It is really just the price and lack of available operating systems that got them. If the chips were only twice the price of a top end Xeon or Operton and if Linux was broadly available on it, even from just a single major vendor, it would make a huge difference.

My understanding was that just as many of the vulnerabilities came from the fact that Microsoft released their source to China in order to get into their market in the first place. I forget where I heard that but I could be wrong.

Absolutely, they must be working on this stuff around the clock. Although each update is relatively small so the individual changes are not that monumental.

Did you remember to do....

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && reboot

Before trying the distro update?

Apt-get upgrade didn't find the update, and I have run apt-get update. It's not seeing it for some reason...

Yes, I would say that it has been a pretty good day.

That looks pretty much in line with the past bad design decisions from the Ubuntu camp.

The developers are going to be looking at our database to see if they can track down the problem. We are not the only ones but not everyone is having the issue.

@ajstringham I cannot help sorry, I just turned up 4 websites on my CentOS7 server. all working perfectly.

I figured out the issue. I had everything set up correctly. Turns out my NoIP settings were wrong. Once I fixed those (that is what actually fixed it), it all started working! @scottalanmiller helped out tremendously! Thanks all!
