Go watch the JCS episode with the Chris Watts interrogation including his polygraph, you’ll see it’s actually extremely effective. As a scientific tool to literally detect lies it’s completely bunk, but all the interrogator has to say is “t

And just hope they have any capacity to deliver? That's what I'd worry about, especially right now.

Well I didn't say they wouldn't cooperate (very likely they would cave to any national security letter), I said there's no way they'd end up in jail. Politicians want their donations.

On the list of the things I doubt nowadays, an Amazon or Amazon subsidiary CEO going to jail is way up at the top. They’ll get a national security letter for sure, but no one’s going to jail.

It’s very likely that project is a security nightmare. Just an OS old enough to support 2.7 would be problematic.

Even Toyota does this, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they all do.

Even if they end the grounding of the MD-11/DC-10 I'd be shocked if any airlines still using them will continue to use them. Seems like the risk/reward just isn't really there for the few of them still in service, and if

Shared across a cluster of multiple hosts, such that you can hot migrate VMs? I am not aware of that being possible in Proxmox the same way you can in VMware with VMFS.

by SteveNuts 11mo ago
Not really, that works if you want to have converged storage in your hypervisors, but most large VMWare deployments I've seen use external storage from remote arrays.

by SteveNuts 11mo ago
The only thing missing making Proxmox difficult in traditional environment is a replacement for VMware's VMFS (cluster aware VM file system). Lots and lots of organizations already have SAN/storage fabric networks presenting block

I have a serious question, not trying to start a flame war. A. Are these major issues with cloud/SaaS tools becoming more common, or is it just that they get a lot more coverage now? It seems like we see major issues across AWS, GCP, A

My tech friends always joke that pretty soon we’re going to see “the year of the Linux Windows”, where windows will just be an OS on top of the Linux kernel. I think we’re only half joking though, I could see it happening.

by SteveNuts 11mo ago
The only thing windows has focused on has been dark patterns to force users towards cloud and figuring out more and more ways to collect data to sell ads. I’m not naive, I know a ton of huge enterprises still run huge fleets of windows “ser

I am definitely not a lawyer, but as a thought experiment, would Amazon be able to take the AGPL Minio source code, turn it into a managed service, and resell that to customers? Was under the impression that the answer is yes, they could -

> I wonder if they will be "valkeyed"? Not by AWS presumably Almost certainly not, due to the AGPL license. I know Nutanix got into hot water about distributing Minio so I don't think any big shop will fork it.

All they need to do now is insert a private company into the go/no-go checklist before launch and it'll be totally safe. /s

It turns out that a bunch of people checking if "XYZ is down" is a pretty good heuristic for it actually being down. It's pretty clever I think.

They seriously need to invest in a well engineered multi node cluster filesystem. VMFS made VMware into the behemoth it is. Without that your options for HA shared storage is Ceph (which proxmox makes decently easy to run), or NFS.
