I had to do exactly this with Oracle. They couldn't fix my account to be able to change my billing, but I still had access to my resources. But I couldn't change anything and I figured it was just a sign that breaking my rule of never dealing with Oracle was a bad idea so I shut it down. Then had to cancel the card to get the billing stopped because multiple long calls and chats with CS couldn't get that fixed.
That's a nice little island you have there; it would be a shame if we let the gang next door have their way with it. Now why don't you make nice with our close business associates and give them a good deal, eh?
Yeah waiting to see historical examples of contemporary China being interested in global domination and regime change, especially in contrast to the US.
We participate in a forum where people regularly recommend Hetzner. "Enterprise Grade" reliability is rarely a concern for the folks here. They have no limit of elbow grease to make sure all the shoddy solutions work together. And if they don't, they don't receive enough traffic for the difference to show.
could you please tell what's the difference between VirtualBox and VMWare ESX? I mean what's the VirtualBox lacking as compared to ESX? I've never used an enterprise VMWare so I can't imagine what's different there? Especially if Hyper-V is proposed as an alternative...
--- EDIT ---
I've made some research and now understand that Hyper-V runs alongside the Windows Server (i.e. it is not an in-windows app). Therefore it would be hard to achieve the ESX performance close to ESX or Hyper-V even when deploying on linux. Or wouldn't it? Maybe considering a partition as disk for virtualbox? Idle Linux overhead isn't this much, is it?
Parallels and virtualbox are designed for the end user ad hoc running a few VMs on their client system. The VMWare equivalent was VmWare Workstation, not ESX. ESX, Proxmox etc. are about orchestrating fleets of VMs running on clusters of hardware
It's not really about performance. Imagine comparing AirDrop to a SAN on the basis both provide file sharing functionality. The topic wouldn't be performance, it'd be how they have entirely different use case goals that just happen to both end up using file sharing as one part in achieving that goal.
In the case of ESXi it's about the clustering, filesystem/network virtualization, management and orchestration for hundreds of servers, disaster recovery, enterprise security/software integrations, and so on. That VirtualBox requires a client OS is just a footnote in the comparison of functionality.
I use QGIS to make NDVI maps for my farm from the Sentinel satellite data. Combined with yield maps from harvest, I can come up with soil sampling sites and create a variable rate fertilizing plan. I then plug that into AgOpenGPS for the fertilizer spreader.
Ehh more like spellcheckers aren’t something you only get in a word processor anymore, and autocorrect doesn’t help either. I’m getting the impression that there are much more malapropisms on the Internet (and much, much fewer outright typos and spelling errors) than there used to be, say, a decade ago, and I strongly suspect spellcheckers are to blame.
(Proofreading in professional publishing is, indeed and to that industry’s great shame, much less of a thing than it used to be, but that’s a different story.)
Haha, my uncle lived to 94 smoking like it was a cure for cancer, and I've seen a picture of him filling a sprayer with 2,4D with no PPE and a smoke hanging out of his mouth.
I listened to an episode of Open Source Security Podcast and they talked about making EOL of opensource dependencies a CVE type. I think it bears thought.
