Thank you for mentioning it, didnt know about the tool!

Great project and lots of followup info in the thread - thanks!

If you're using screen/tmux as myself, tail -f remains a good option, as you can enter gaps or search, or do 1000 more things as compared to plain terminal session

Couple apt-cyg with a batch script to install updates unattended - this made cygwin much nicer:

cd C:\distr\cygwin setup-x86_64.exe --no-desktop --no-shortcuts --no-startmenu --quiet-mode

on the first glance it's similar cpanel or plesk, but opensource, will take a look!

While I love firefox, the new UI is too much for me and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemer... came to the rescue

I tried both and like afreerdp better

I'm happily using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freerdp.af... for direct RDP connection Windows (and Linux with xrdp installed). Might take a port forward to setup, but direct RDP quality is unbeatable

Brings back first .cgi issues and learning to add double new line at the beginning of the output :) `print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";`

you can, last strace argument can be a command you want to strace

my favorite use of strace to learn which files (especially config files) are being open by a new daemon/tool: strace -f -s1024 2>&1|grep open

also remember also useful 'ltrace' - libraries tracing

Very interesting if amazon will drive Cloud Desktop, DaaS and virtual desktop to wider adoption or prove it's not quite needed today

What's your experience with larger multi-layer structures, as if someone up the chain is pushing GSD, there is less opportunity to fix this downstream, leaving people to constant stress.

most of consumers will not even upgrade their PCs, but change it to a new PC, laptop or tablet when it's completely broken.

i'm thinking my parents - they will use that 2000 pc until it's not booting up, and then they'll worry on upgrade

Love the graphics on your home page!

And it's time to set DEBUG = False in your Django settings file :)

openvz doesn't seem to be known outside of hosting/hosters community, otherwise - it's quite a mature container engine

google is probably holding the piece that competes with docker or openvz, they should have somthing like docker internally

Haven't tried ngrok yet, but maybe someone can tell me how it's different from creating an ssh tunnel (in a case when I do have a server/vps with public ip running sshd) ?

interesting "mechanical" idea for sure, why can't you use magnetic loop to speed up the object more gradually and fire up afterwards.

Also really interesting references to HARP in this thread: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_High_Altitude_Research_Pr...

This should be called "A 97-Year-Old Man Who Draws".. MAN capitalized

It's about the culture of using prepaid vs contract phones, ie it's not like carriers don't understand ARPU, it's subscribers who stay away from contracts.

Your happens today is very similar to mine. I'd say that I need additional offload of the RAID array (drobo in your case), while little is needed to be changed on my processing laptop

Bastards, they killed reader :)

There are container technologies (openvz, LXC) that offer lot more than "fairshared" to manage resources between containers. Plus the efficiencies of lower "virtualization overhead", because you don't have full OS in containers compared to VMs (consider full VM kernel, VM HW drivers, etc)

Your comment must be entirely about Containers for Windows (by Parallels), which is not what the article and most of the discussions are about. Containers for Linux on the contrary are not prone to host "corruption"

I agree about VMs for VPS offering. But i believe no improvements in hardware or (para)virtualization will get VMs closer to Containers in other (non-VPS) scenarios

Containers are efficient(and most likely the future) for PaaS/SaaS type of applications, where individual Instance (VM/Container) is not treated as a "computer" or Infrastructure.

Another benefit for PaaS/SaaS is that you don't necessarily sell RAM or DISK, you sell an application/service and thus can take FULL advantage of containers, like: - more efficient resources sharing(on host) - dynamic resources re-balancing - quicker start/stop/etc

Containers can be used to offer IaaS, but as was already mentioned in this thread, a few edge cases (custom kernel or kernel module, any filesystems support, any firewall support) prevent it due to support/operations overhead.

Do you care to elaborate why you switched from OpenVZ to LXC?

Yes, LXC and OpenVZ in it's core similar technologies that enable linux containers. OpenVZ also comes with varios containers management tools, some of which are available via docker for LXC containers too.

get familiar with openvz - linux containers that allow to configure network interfaces, dynamic resources allocation, etc

Example from http://openvz.org/Basic_operations_in_OpenVZ_environment:

[host-node]# vzctl create 101 --ostemplate fedora-core-18-minimal [host-node]# vzctl set 101 --ipadd 10.1.2.3 --save [host-node]# vzctl set 101 --nameserver 10.0.2.1 --save [host-node]# vzctl start 101
