Hi Jonathan,
nice to see you back around.
I have been around, although laying low and will be around and every now
and then chime in with my meaning, ideas etc. although I can not
dedicate the time I did before at the moment.
The 'Test Internet Connection' in the console app 'phones home' with
data. Let's take a look at that.
Problem is that this is manually run, but we can easily device a cron
job or the like for it.
I personally think that the data submitted should only contain:
a. Install date
b. Version
c. GeoIP location
d. Unique installer code
I think that would be a goof enough starting point, to which I hardly
can think there would be objections.
regarding d. When using a virtualization platform and 'cloning a VM'
this unique code will not change...
That could be easily solved by genetaing a unique id based on hardware
charachteristics. IDs of NIC/HDs will most likely not be the same. This
coul dbe taken as a salt for genertaing the UID IMHO.
Kind regards,
Jonathan
