To say nothing about vendor support. Healthcare vendors are bad about (a) keeping current with supported versions of linux distributions and (b) letting you patch said systems and keeping support with them. Kent On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 2:33 PM, Allen Minix wrote: > I couldn't agree more. Updat

What is you DHCP lease length? Can you have something that that checks the for the mac address of the phone in the DHCP leases and if it is there, do the needful on VOIP box, otherwise don't forward calls to your cell phone? If the lease is short enough, that could work. Kent On Tue, Mar 31, 2015

Re: [nlug] dedicated server hosting

Have you looked at SoftLayer? They have a private network that they use for provisioning, but you can ask for what they call "portable private IP addresses" (and public ones too, for the hosts that need it) that you can assign and will be static. We like them, mostly. The most serious WTF they have

As a follow on to this, if you are going to gpg encrypt the files because you need to keep them and you have to secure the data, compress first, then encrypt. Doing it the other way around doesn't do you any good. Also, don't mangle the file name so the .gz/.bz2/.pgp/.gpg is in the middle of the fi

And have it replicated across data centers so that when a DC pukes on itself (power outage, backhoe incident, act of God, Godzilla vs. Mothra) its No Big Deal(TM) to business as usual. I think the technology behind products like Data Domain is the way to go. With RTOs decreasing you don't have the
