It depends. If the goal is to consolidate several boxes to a single VM, it does this. Be sure host-based (on the linux box) firewall rules are set and documented. If possible, set network-based firewall rules also (AWS security groups).

does btrfs have anything comparable to raidz3?

Oracle acquired Sun, so they could have solved it by just choose another license moving forward. One gotcha is the ZFS (Solaris core) team vehemently resisted anything GPL-compatible. Something like a BSD license would make the most comme

Check out zfs on linux, kmod binary distribution is likely okay and dkms method shifts compiling to the end-user, which avoids it entirely.

Gurjeet is on it. Edit - docker's great. if I were an investor, how would you guys monetize it? prof svcs, support? I could see folks paying for a dashboard, cloud controller w/ api and an easy-to-deploy openstack-like setup.

Yeah, it depends on the use case. For home directories and large risk items like financial stuff, testing that barrier writes are happening is a good thing. You don't want a storm to knock out a DC to learn that the hw/sw fs sta

I'd be biased to agree since that's Manuel's blog, someone I used to work with. I've supported 24x7 and 9x5 ops where downtime was unacceptable. zfs makes it a whole lot easier to perform upgrades, know data and metada

Online scrubbing, so no downtime waiting for fsck for one. If you'd used it, you'd know how many hard won production battles solaris devs poured into making zfs better from the ground up. btrfs is oracle's NIH syndrome, rei

CapEx + OpEx together averages 3x retail cost of hw for a medium sized web shop, labor and electricity being the biggest costs in each respectively.

It's confusing why btrfs support was prioritized ahead of zfs considering zfs' superior architecture and ops capabilities. Is docker (formerly dotcloud) going to start withholding capabilities as licensed features? Edit: prelim z

I won't use Virtualbox either. Too many problems and I don't need yet another hypervisor when VMware Fusion works fine.

There are so many project management apps out there, the competition is fierce. For a proj mgmt app to succeed, there either has to be USP and massive value. For example, Asana is especially good. I haven't tried Basecamp recently b

Ideally, a KDF should use as many resources as practical. The NIST competition process of favoring performant algorithms is not always in the interests of users because it means it's cheaper to bruteforce/crack.

Or use monkeysphere and gpg keys that serve as ssh keys, which (gpg priv keys) is itself encrypted on encrypted disks with passphrase in an 10M rounds of AES25 encrypted password manager with a very long passphrase itself.

Oh hell, anything that gets in the way of swiping or typing a credit card loses sales. Also, it's really intrusive without much WIIFM. I thought that what guest checkout is for, even though it's a per-merchant configurable option

It's trying to be a non-repudiation system based on something only you and they know. Unfortunately, without a credit history or paying utility bills, credit sources alone aren't enough. So why not use other facts such as partia

Another reason to use end-to-end encryption (like gpg with in-person signed keys) where possible and not worry as much.
