What Are You Doing Right Now

Trying to decide if I want to switch to XenServer or try Nutanix Community Ed on my home server.... Decisions, decisions!

Nutanix only makes sense in a cluster. XenServer would make sense standing alone. Nutanix is tuned for Windows workloads (KVM) and XenServer for Linux (Xen.)

What are the licensing limitations on Nutanix Community Edition?

Just waking up here in Texas. Needed to catch up on some sleep for a bit.

Finding lots of stuff to buy on Steam. How do I keep finding new stuff?

Uncut preview of Fallout 4 out now.

What is it with users leaving files open from the file server all weekend so you can't reboot or install updates...

Good morning to all

I force close their connections.
If they were told, then it's on them if they lose the document that they "spent all Friday working on".

We generally don't tell them about windows updates because we do them so late at night and on weekends no one should be leaving their stuff open (it wasn't any of our remote users). And it's generally less than 10min of down time.

@dominica brought home biscuits and gravy potato chips today. They are actually amazing.

I added a GPO that pushes out a scheduled task to force reboot the computer Monday Morning at 4am.

In your case, do one on Friday evening or Saturday Morning then you know nothing will be open when you do server updates.

Anyone can help me please?
I am installing Piwik application.
I'm stuck on installing the set up of Piwik
I got this error " Required PHP configuration (php.ini) session.auto_start=0
always_populate_raw_post_data=-1

To prevent some critical issue, you must set the following in your php.ini file: always_populate_raw_post_data=-1
After making this change, restart your web server."

I couldn't do that. We have three shifts and normally no one works weekends but sometimes if we get busy we will have manufacturing going on on the weekends.

Morning all - Hope your weekend was good.

I haven't read up on the licensing much yet. I don't need uber performance out of anything as this is just going to be my home lab, so either of them would probably work well enough. I'm actually running Hyper-V on my home server; I just wanted to see what else is out there.

I've not had a chance to play with XenServer yet either, so I may give that one a go first.
