The only thing worse than a single database server is servers poorly maintained database servers. The idea was right, but maybe the implementation was wrong.
I manage storage systems as part of my day job. i think you would be happy with a simple direct attached storage device. You’d need a storage controller card and a storage controller. These are usually enterprise-grade items so they might be expensive. I suspect there are SATA options but SATA is pretty slow.
QNAP and Synology are decent for what they offer, if you like the idea if turning it on, setting up an account, and then having access to both native and an easy 3rd-party store with no fiddling needed then they are a good idea. You can also setup an iSCSI connection for direct-attached storage over the network.
It’s used for out of band management. With the correct hardware items (nic and gpu) it’s called vPro. With the proper certificate and supporting infrastructure it can auto-enroll into a management service such as SCCM. It allows companies to remotely view logs, bios settings and other items. With vPro it can include a complete remote KVM solution.
You can disable it from most UEFI settings interfaces without worry of causing other issues.
Google accomplished their goal of increasing internet usage. Where ever they threatened to go the local isp suddenly got their act together.
I’m suggesting local government 1)provide a baseline service and 2) treat last-mile delivery like a utility. In the pockets of the US where local government or utility provider is also an ISP, I have yet to hear of people being upset with it. It’s usually something crazy like $15/mo for 500/50 speeds that comes out of your water/trash/electric bill.
I’m not saying what they are doing/did is best. I think it’s been mishandled for decades. I’m just saying this is how the government “thinks” and why cost overruns and corruption is often lower on the priority list.
I’d rather the service providers be threatened with local government ownership if they mishandle the deal.
In fact I think last-mile delivery should be provided by the local government and be subsidized by taxes to some extent. Residents should have the option to use public funded internet with baseline bandwidth targets, have the ability to choose a different ISP that’s managed at a local colo going over the public wires, or choose a last mile isp using their own private wired or wireless infrastructure.
At the end of the day the gov shouldnt care. They are spending the same amount of money.
If the government wants to make it fair though, they can simply block the “scammers” from future projects.
Yes, but think like the government: should we fine the isp, or do what it takes to get broadband to those underserved areas? Fines and other similar approaches just put those ISPs closer to going out of business and that makes it worse for the people targeted by the project.
Boomers living to 150 is going to be awful.
Why keep such an accomplishment secret?
It depends, but the weakest link will likely be whatever is performing NAT.
An hvac company that is able to adopt AI for 1st call processing and scheduling will be able to eliminate a number of jobs and remain open 24x7. They will undercut their local competitors, and the hvac techs will find themselves out of a job or working for their competitor soon.
Small companies won’t be able to compete.
I’m all for this but we need to offset these immense productivity gains with economic safety nets. I don’t know how the next 100 year will look if we don’t adopt UBI, universal healthcare, and some amount of subsidized housing.
Does lemmy use google or Facebook as an idp yet? That makes things pretty easy on kbin.social.
These are anywhere from a few hours behind to weeks behind.
MS is doing the same to Outlook users too at some point. Its a much better app. Windows mail/calendar were an oddity. Remember outlook express?
You want to use as little space as possible tonsave on cost.
A server with ipmi is ideal.
A hardware vpn firewall is a good idea.
Do you need to provide your own router or switch?
Courts can have closed source code audited. It’s literally done in a locked room on a device that doesn’t have the ability to export, and people that enter the room are monitored.
Unreasonable request for most internet users.
Facebook doesn’t need you to have an account to track you.
They did not. They bought postini. Before then spam was really, really bad on gmail.
