I still think of the freebsd server with just under 13 years of uptime when I killed it. No one can explain the rush of happiness that comes with issuing a shutdown command.
I tried powering it back online afterwards. It did not power back on.
It was inavailable DNS server which triggered changing to an old DFS-N server. People on the same RDS server were working fine and did for literally years.
I'm also a huge fan of the blog posts that suggest throwing away fundamental technologies and replacing them with half-bakery without understanding the problem domain or the problems that have been encountered and solved before.
I remember the days when theregister could be considered good newsource.
Did the author need to crank out an "article" before the weekend?
This has been talked about for decades. It's not going to happen. The entire range is unusable at the networking core level, even if you magically had an OS that accepted it.
You can't tweak IPv4 any more. Accept the fact that while IPv6 may seem scary to some, it's the way we _must_ move.
It took many years before mobile carriers in the US supported IPv6. I don't think any carriers here in Ireland do.
My gigabit fiber provider only supports IPv4. Granted, they're just a VNO, using PPPoE on top of Eircom's network. Eir supports IPv6 if you subscribe to them directly, but their customer service is nonexistent and you'll be waiting over a year just for them to hook you up. For now I stay with the VNO because they have excellent customer service, except for not having an answer for me every time I ask them when they'll support v6.
Vmware products are quite good at scale and support enterprise features that a casual user won't need/cant use.
Virtualbox is designed to be ran on a machine that is already running a desktop OS. It is designed to extend a machine. This is great for a developer.
Vmware/ESXI is a bare metal hypervisor that IS the OS.It effectively partitions a computer hardware and is incredibly stable/secure. This also allows it to do fancy powerful network and storage features directly that an app inside windows/linux/mac can't do.
LoB apps are certified & supported on vmware products. Like the payroll systems you get paid with? If it's running on virtualbox and it does something weird, you're probably not getting paid that week. If it's on Vmware, you better believe you can call people to have it solved asap.
The article is about use in an enterprise. An enterprise runs professional/enterprise/ltsc versions which do NOT steer you to the cloud - what data sovereignty concerns have you seen in those editions of windows/server? They've gone through a lot of pains to ensure those concerns are taken care of for enterprises/governments so i'm curious the ones you think they missed.
You can make the argument for their consumer editions sure, but that's a different product with different features, different price point for different users.
> Businesses underpay and when they can't find people willing to impoverish themselves to work for them, they apply to the government to bring in "temporary foreign workers" - for things like fast food restaurant workers not essential business, keeping the wages down.
> Temporary foreign workers and international students in canada are allowed to buy housing, so aside from renting the rich ones who make it here actually buy up properties for their family offshore.
If they're being paid so little, I don't see how they could possibly afford to buy any properties. I've only known a few, but they all send the majority of the money back home instead.
This feels very fear mongering on TFWs and not grounded in facts.
Some TFWs and international students some come from wealthy families in their home country and use whatever program they can to get into canada to get a foot in the door, and be allowed to buy a house here. I live in an east indian heavy neighborhood and I know a dozen people who were extremely rich before every coming to canada, far far more than the average canadian.
Make sense, rich people would have an easier time to immigrate.
But how many of this dozen are here on TFW like you're suggesting?
I'm doubtful that it's TFW that are buying the properties you're concerned with, especially since they're still at the mercy of PR/work authorization laws that could make them leave the country at any time.
It _could_ happen, but that would be pretty exceptional.
You want to complain about foreigners making house prices too high for you, you do you. Just be accurate in your complaints.
international students do purchase houses for their families out of country - it happens more in some areas than others.
And if someone couldn't get in as a student, they might try to get in as a TFW and spend their family money on a home - I don't know how often it happens but its allowed because TFWs DO buy houses.
You'd really hope that's the same logic used when someone doesn't support something too.
Rarely are people's opinions that well informed unfortunately.
