Ewww. Nasty open toilet flushers.

People like to think snapshots are magic. They don't want to think about what they are or how they work.

I have seen where the self service restores really do enhance the user experience but it just seems like there are still a lot of admins out there that just don't implement it or implement it correctly.

Requires actually understanding storage.

@scottalanmiller That's actually almost exactly what I posted in response to a member over at Spiceworks who posed an issue this morning in the Windows Server Forum. They were keeping multiple copies per day, for 2 weeks. They were using the built in WSB but something happened and crashed their server. Turns out, server ran out of space and started throwing VSS errors. I've seen this now 2-3 times in the past week.

Sadly very common. Snapshots are hard for people to understand.

Once we can post pics I will get some up. The NTG people tend not to have super exciting home environments anymore because the company is putting in an enterprise lab for everyone to use. Like the most epic home lab ever.

Haven't played COD since the very first one.

I am sure that image posting is on the high priority to do list but email notifications might be ahead of it. And maybe tagging. I know all three of those are big.

@ajstringham said:

So we can embed videos and pictures in posts? Awesome!

YouTube and Vimeo yes. Embed being the operative word. AFAIK, no image posting yet.

@scottalanmiller Yes, but I was going to make "cornbread" muffins to go with it.

Whoo hoo

Super low power. I'd love to set up a business using these everywhere. Would be fun.

Some new features mostly around Linux.

Some of you know that I love RISC machines. This is a very cheap, quad core ARM desktop! Very cool for super low power Linux desktop!

Day one and it is poop jokes, videos and the hand out is called the WC. Is there a face palm emoji?

Shadow Copies actually are snapshots. Where they really come in handy is integrated self service file restores from within windows. And they are the underlying technology for nearly all windows backup systems today.

@Dominica is there still almond bread to go with it?

It is actually not horrible here today in NY. Cold but clear. Winter storm Titan never appeared.

It's what's called a platform. The most basic layer that allows you to deploy something to it. It is purely part of your infrastructure. Sharepoint is an application itself that, in theory, could be installed onto a PaaS. PaaS sits between IaaS and SaaS.

@ajstringham said:

@Hubtech Agreed. At the moment, EVERYTHING new shows up. That's going to get annoying QUICK!

Quickly [GN]

That is how I have always used SW. One feed with all updates in it. It's not as bad as it seems.

OpenShift

Have not played with it yet. What specific applications can you use it for?

Python, ruby, node.js - the usual suspects. Java maybe now too.

@ajstringham said:

@hubtech Ah, ok. Got it. Very nice! So, in a way, is it RHEL's version of Sharepoint?

No. Not related to RHEL and nothing like Sharepaint.
