Airports are a bellweather. This drives trends/investors/CEOs/middle managers. Living close to a large airport on a business city it was always
- VMware - Azure - IBM etc
Now-a-days
- Get your employees co-pilot assisted Intel/Windows/etc to boost productivity
The great offender is modem/router. According the manual for my ISP
- slow blinking is attempting to connect to DSL
- normal blinking is success
- Fast blink is fail
- there are 4 different LEDs. some even change colour.
A sincere best of luck to you all. At the same time these sentences are unwarranted
Public cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud made life easier for start-ups and enterprises. But they are closed source, have you rent computers at a huge premium, and lock you in. Ubicloud offers an open alternative, reduces your costs, and returns control of your infrastructure back to you. All without sacrificing the cloud's convenience.
especially when you say:
Ubicloud is in public alpha. You can provide us your feedback, get help, or ask us to support your network environment in the Community Forum.
while I agree self-hosting at a philosophical level, please note that there are lots of good reasons to use public providers.
In most distros a simple default install (like Kubuntu or Ubuntu) things are consistent. Even RedHatEnterprise linux is very consistent. Sure a mac looks nice as it is always available in a 2K> glossy display.
Once you go to install stuff things are made of different tool kits. In principle it is the same for macOS. Yes, all Apple stuff mostly are consistent. There are lots of dialogs inside System Preferences that seem old and not migrated. Also, once you install MS office, and other dev. stuff from macports things go weird.
I did use the authenticator app plenty of times so I'm certain I had it set up.
Then it would be been impossible to login. Did you use a password that was leaked? If yes - may be they logged in - and you would have got a 'notification' on your phone to allow them. And you perhaps said yes to that remote login.
To help others could you please tell us more information... Did you have 2FA? If yes was it SMS or with U2F-key? Which country where you previously in? Did you change places?
I am sure everyone is learning from walled gardens.
Sure, there will be some impact of sanctions. But note that wealthy individuals will find a way.
EU or US is never going to ban UAE, Saudi Arabia or India from they list for trading with Russia. Note that Iran has been successfully exporting gas to India by opening accounts with state banks in India.
These are complex issues.
All these headlines in the West for PR and public consumption. Eventually, the average Western European is more bothered about their jobs. Sure they happily opened borders, but wait a month or two. One these Ukrainians apply for jobs the locals get annoyed. Example: In Germany, Syrians were welcomed with open arms, then eventually the tabloid news turned around once they settled.
Note that the average Russian (or Chinese or Indian) is poor. They do not care about what people in Western Europe think. They do business to better themselves (just like average American that helps quell uprising in UAE by developing software or working for NSO).
Use nitter.net and just use nitter.net/handle1,handle2,handle3
You make factual points. But note that
1. Money: Russia is a tiny market for MS/Google/Apple. So they can appear to boycott it and still be OK with shareholders.
2. Communities (like these are mainly Western and hence) make decisions based on their surroundings/public views. Also this war is clear - one knows who is in the side of west and who is NOT.
3. The primary Middle East conflict is complex - Take for example, Arab-Israeli conflict. Actions in Muslim world are also perpetrated by local/regional govt. Too complex to take actions. and there is the $$$ in those oil countries - nobody incl. US govt wants a boycott of these $$$ - For example, Israel (technology), Saudi or UAE - support.
4. Also one needs to wait for some months to see how these responses pan out. There is a lot of fatigue in people for humanitarian things.
5. Ukraine has a similar cultural identity to Europe - that helps. But one needs to wait and see the responses of EU citizens when Ukrainians move to get EU residency. The same sympathy may change.
6. In defense of these Western organisations, during Tsunami lots of people helped
Perhaps you need to look at average human trying to setup a router/DSL modem in a house hold. Then you may note that all your second sentence is a large task for any CEO. (No offence they are good in their field but anything more than dropbox or email or drive is a no go!)
Note that in 7 years OP had one problem now... I know people with local NAS one need to do maintenance and so on. Again, depends on your technical ability. Bit-rot, power failures etc.
acquiring talent to manage google drive is easy. Not cheap or easy for Amazon/B2.
multiple NAS and distributed them geographically and used Syncthing to keep them updated
As some one working in storage, please do not get tons of NAS they are pain to manage eventually. Example: linus-tech-tips could not do it properly.
If you use youtube-dl how large is one video? Lets say 2 GB. I presume, every week you create have 2 videos? Then 4GB per week.
Google gives you $20 for 100 GB. Every year create a new account - like - company name.2022 dump everything there. Hire an clerk to make sure the credit card is payed every year.
That way you do not lose all videos at a time.
Heck you can even create free Google drive account every few months and segment them.
Youtube sent her 3 strikes in one week. On videos that were 4 years old, indicating cyber bullying.
Do you know by chance if anyone "internal employees" tried to complain and report? I suspect this is an insider issue.
may be some internal staff, downloaded everything and reported these videos to kill your wife's business and to start their own business.
1TB BX11 is €2.9/month or € 3.45 monthly incl. 19 % VAT
These are standard prices...
were not in their expected locations on the new box
This is why one should not use sda/sdb or vda equivalent but use /dev/disk/by-uuid/
I did not say/imply that the user should implement a ONLY non-standard port as security.
Sure " simple port scan would reveal it" - but for those other script kiddes that do not do have it prevents it. And BTW, every bit helps of security helps. zerotier at an alternative port is slightly better than port 22.
Zerotier is the easy way around. Also remember to block all ssh access at standard ports.
no fiddling. Just works. Do not waste time OS upgrades. Browser is the only thing to use. No wasting time saving or lost data; linux commandline rsync or time machine transfers to new computers etc.
We deployed this for home office all secretaries as it is cheap and just works.
Does Redhat provide OS for 2GB RAM, celeron devices? Poor comparison. And BTW, are you willing to pay > $200 per year for chromeOS (like RHEL)? Note that RHEL is also frozen, but average Joe wants all latest features in chromebook. Also even youtube/facebook needs so much RAM. Only you can survive browsing with w3m or wget - then chromeos is not for you.
The problem is regular user does NOT want i3. Google cannot build a i3 and provide it as an update to old chromebook.
BTW even latest Lubuntu needs 4GB RAM... Sure you can use minimal window manager like awesome, but not the average joe!
1. Intel spectre/CVE? 2. Note that these old devices have no support from Wayland as intel does not provide drivers 3. These were introductory chromebooks and I am sure OEMs will be annoyed if they are unlimited updates. (or they may be have contracts) 4. Even if google kepps them away from Wayland, users will then expect same performance/features like the new ones - and blame Google.
The problem is the common user wants thing to just work.
I work at a major university. At our science department we tried using 'https://www.horde.org/apps/groupware' for calendar. But fails randomly, refresh issues. The computing centre claims they have everything fine. Groupware has so many bugs. The IT department cannot fix these.
Note that every self-hosted nerd will claim they do everything with nextcloud with RPi and all is perfect but it does not work for 100 people.
At the end we moved to Google calendar. Everything just works.
For us, contributing to science is important than being 100 % open.
Before you say iCloud it is much worse at losing mails/calendar sync - BTW, try it with > 20 users... Microsoft is kinda OK but works painfully when using linux or mac devices.
It is unfortunate people complain about FAANG without providing replacements.
Blame intel for not updating older devices...
most chromebooks got up to 6 years support. BTW, one can still use these old ones, they will get LaCros (where only browser gets updated).
Flies in the face of many functional Chromebooks/Chromeboxens losing support
On these old hardware you can install Linux or even cloudready. Are you expecting support forever?
Thanks for the reply Not sure how much power mods have? May be they are tag the account as spam/<threat> and some AI/ML automagically bans the account.
