It allows you to login to multiple workspaces so you can have your family plan and your work team plan at the same time.

There is a cost but I can guarantee that it’s saved me more in time than the cost could ever amount to.

I’ve never used an insecure password since using it. All completely random and it’s so easy to use.

The different vaults means I can grant my little boy access to the stuff he uses whilst having my credit card and server details in other vaults without fear that he can access them (more the credit card details). I just need to get the wife into using it now...

I thought it was weird when we got the replacement though.

I’m going to install the app to check what the CPU is running at.

It’s still ridiculous that she was running 10.x fine, she only updated because someone sent her some emojis that her phone didn’t understand and now is it’s running like crap

She’s recently upgraded from 10.x to latest version. She’s noticed an actual decrease in performance to the point where she’s nearly punching the phone. It just locks up for no reason.

I’d like to blame this on the battery or age of the phone but I can’t. It is an iPhone 6 but it is only half a year old.

I believe that this phone should be able to handle the latest release just fine.

She’s now looking at upgrading the phone.

We use b2 at work for our corporate offsite backups and I can’t praise it high enough.

We’ve had it running for over a year and it’s just been set and forget.

We use cloudberry as the backup tool and it’s been great.

B2 is obviously our third line backup for when all else fails but I have confidence in it and it’s cheap.

I know I can’t start at a dollar but I can’t imagine many people backing up 0-10gb a month and that’s it

I think my next "fun" app will be a real time app using as many of the "new" technologies as possible.

I've been stagnant far too long now and it's beginning to show

We do a lot of integration projects with our clients, ie integrating with CRMs / ERPs and the timescales on these projects is usually about 10/12 weeks. I enjoy this project turnaround as it means I'm never stagnant on the same project for long and I get to experience new things.

I imagine the projects for a Fortune 500 is 1 or 2 years long with thousands of man hours?

EDIT: Clarified a question

This is unacceptable.

We can't run a business trying to guess what this will be in another 12 months time.

Resource is a big issue, I recently fired up a small Linux box on Digital Ocean as a test; it's 512mb with a small CPU. The machine barely runs at any overhead when dormant. A Windows box is using 1GB before the operating system has finished loading

Our clients are normally ones who have come from a small background and are growing quite rapid, this customer is almost certainly on some type of Linux offering.

It's probably a mix of the clients we target and the geographical location.

I know this is something I can do right now but a few things I wanted to look at was node.js and Angular.

I'm definitely in need of catching up on some new techniques, I've been so engrossed in doing paid work that I've not had time to pick up a book and get back to the fun bit of programming

All clients assume everything is run in Linux. I don't even know why this mindset is so popular.

When we develop something and the client wants to host it I can guarantee (more or less) that the platform is Linux and they want to know why the software we have written doesn't work on Linux.

I know there is Mono but I always use IIS to run our software as that's what I am used to and that is the platform is is meant to work on.

I do love .NET, I've used it since it was launched. I do want to have a change though. I just don't know what language to dip into next.

I'll never leave .NET though as it's where I really started programming (after VBA...). I've just discovered Umbraco too which I've just fallen in love with.

Recommendations on languages I can try would be appreciated. I don't like this minefield we are in at the minute, I never know what is going to stick around and what is a fad.

I never thought the market could be so niche to barbers though, guess that trend hasn't made it t'up North of UK

Ironically the website does not work on mobile.

Also when going onto the forum, I was clicking links but nothing was happening? Then I would click the home button and the last button I had clicked would then activate, like it was a click behind?

The home layout reminds me of hootsuite, I find the layout too cluttered. I'd imagine you would get used to it and you would know where to look eventually but I must admit it wasn't very intuitive.

The plus points are that I do think the world needs an overhaul on forum software, it's tired and hasn't changed much in 15 years. I don't think this has been done in vain.

The feature set looks good I just don't think you need the fading transitions and so much information all over the place. It needs simplifying; in my opinion.

I am setting up a small web cluster and my current DC is making redundant their current backup services to make way for their new services which will be coming early 2015.

They aren't taking on any new backup plans on servers and are asking customers to find alternative solutions in the interim.

I've been looking around at solutions today but it is a minefield of services and I don't know who to trust.

It's basically 3 boxes at the minute, 2 Linux and 1 Windows.

Ideally I would like it to be agent based so there is a central server which requests the servers backups and scheduling is managed at the central service.

I would like it bare metal and file recovery.

The type of solution I ideally want is a backup cloud service that runs Idera (this offers all of the above).

Like I say, I'm not adverse to this all being offsite in a cloud solution. So long as it is reliable (as can be) and it is close to my servers in case I need to be a bare metal restore.

I used to using a NAS and some local backup software but I've used Idera before and it works better to be honest and I trust it more than simple backups.

Can anyone recommend anything? I'm stuck looking at sites that make all sorts of promises but you never really know until you need them the most and then it could be too late.

Thanks

We had 3 months where we had 20 minutes of downtime. The edge router was ~15 minutes and there was a denial of service on a machine in the same portion of the network which took a few minutes to isolate.

That is the only downtime we received in our 12 month initial contract which started Feb 2013 and ended Feb 2014 (we are on a rolling contract now).

So (20 / 12) = 1.6 minutes a month averaged. For arguments sake it puts us around the four 9s in availability a month.

What's your traffic like on it?

I've not used node before but it is a language / tech that interests me

The provider is transparent though and the issue hasn't happened previously or since.

The 16GB RAM package at £100 a month is just amazing if it really is that stable.

Do you do any type of redundancy between DCs / networks? How did you find their redundancy tools if you did?

I'd done a similar thing on AWS before on their free platform but you only got 100GB a month transfer. This is eaten up quickly on streaming videos.

I'm mainly a .net dev on Windows boxes but I would like to expand my knowledge a little further nginx etc. Most of the open source technologies run best on Linux so I like to dabble in the prompts a little for experience.

I setup an old computer in my home recently and installed Ubuntu as a home media server. The setup ended up costing me £8 in a new RAM stick and about a week of messing to get it working how I wanted. I could have purchased a NAS with it all installed for £200 but I just enjoy the challenge. It's a welcome break from programming sometimes, it's a kind of downtime.

Also, VPN packages start at $9.99 a month if you pay month to month (the savings are the longer term contracts) so the way I see it I am halving that cost and learning at the same time.
