One could probably try and roll a 2GB image so it can be installed directly to the internal flash memory... However you'd still need a SD card or a pen drive for storing content but they can be on separate partitions. This way you could add remove content without worrying about the server os

[Server-devel] XSCE on NUC | 3g mini pcie/m2 dongles

[Server-devel] Has anyone else seen squid swap.state bloat?

Yesterday, an interesting issue happened. On an older XSCE install, the squid cache bloated over time to create a 300GB swap file and made the server unusable. I was wondering if anyone else may have come across this before? Attached is the munin screenshot showing the increasing disk usage over

Can someone also confirm whether this release will have the auto-networking-setup magic sauce? Based on what George said, it wont be there. So, for me, this is (a major regression and) mostly a testing release. Hopefully it gets re-implemented in future releases. Also, is intel NUC/x86_64

I guess I could look at upstream asterisk on the iiab if that'd be of any use. Its going to be a bit of work, since I had to compile it on my end, and I had done it on centos7 from which we are moving away from. On Sat, Feb 11, 2017 at 10:00 PM, Anish Mangal <anis...@umich.edu> wrote: &
