that is not an error message from libcurl and was in fact hand-written by the rpm/dnf team. they do not know how to write error messages.

Dnf is a tool for sysadmins anyway, you should be using gnome software and Chrome should provide flatpaks for their poo poo. But that tech is all very new and of course loving Shuttleworth had to go front-run it with his own lovely garbage alternative (see also: Mir, political manouvering around the existing Upstart project) and do so in his usual dishonest fashion.

Just installed Fedora 24 over Fedora 23. Only kept my home and opt partitions... everything else was a fresh install.

Compared with moving from ubuntu to fedora 23, this was much less painful. The only unexpected thing was adding myself to the ecryptfs group. Oh, and the desktop icons are now comically big!

Gonna boot into wayland next, see if I can summon the magic smoke...

you might consider keeping most of /home on the ssd too -- time to read things like desktop environment config and web browser profiles can be pretty significant in time from boot to usable desktop, and opening web browsers and such

i keep things like 'vmware', 'Downloads', steam library, etc. on a big spinny drive and symlink/mount things into the right place in my home directory as appropriate

I haven't used docker but after hearing about it, there is something I don't get. If people are just creating these distribution independent things without virtualization, then how does it account for api changes between libc versions and kernel versions? I understand that with cgroups, you can have a process see only a specific set of processes and files, but they're sharing the same kernel at the very least.

Also, wouldn't an enterprise deployment be using nfs or iscsi (for each container) to mount a working directory, instead of using the same mounted filesystem, to reduce or eliminate the chance of an errant container bringing down a whole kernel and fudging the disk?

unraid has an app store that installs in docker containers.
it's actually nice in a lot of ways. If an image needs to be updated, just restart and pull

but it's also another layer making things harder to debug when there's a problem

there's always a problem.

I was. I think. I was using whatever graphical tool you get when as a normal person you try to install a software by clicking on a download link. it had reviews and star ratings and everything.

that's why I was complaining. those error messages would have been fine for a command line sysadmin tool.

then yeah that kinda sucks, hopefully it will improve as it matures because it's a rather new project at the moment.

kernel guarantees abi compatibility, there isn't anything fundamentally being broken between it and libc. cgroups does indeed lead to a lot of corner cases that have resulted in security bugs

yes, it's hard to allocate I/O since it's typically allocated per-device rather than per-process/container*, the easiest workaround therefore is to have multiple devices

* can depend on the io scheduler you're configured with

The kernel abi is stable now, I guess? I guess we aren't gonna have any new system calls until the end of time or at least they will be backwards compatible.

probably wont be a problem unless you're doing a lot of call recordings on the switch and even then the problem will be disk I/O. Something you should understand here is that unless asterisk needs to participate in the audio path (ex: playing an IVR or recording a call) it wont be in the audio path and will just tell the participants how to talk to each other directly. This is generally fine, but then you need to make sure your clients can actually reach each other.

If you're going thru a vpn, depending on your OS, vpn client, and sip client, you may run into a 1 way audio problem where audio gets from the remote (VPN) machine to the destination but not back to the remote client. This is because the sip client you're using cant figure out what its VPN address is and its sending its local IP address as its contact address. I've never seen it happen in windows because most windows VPN clients create a virtual NIC to handle the VPN connection and that makes it easy for the SIP client to discover the correct address. It will happen with OSX depending on the vpn client you're using. Any of the cisco clients don't create virtual adapters under osx so whatever sip client you're using cant figure out what its vpn address is. The best way to fix this is to setup a STUN server inside your network. When the SIP client connects to your asterisk server (or to peers) it will ignore the ip address reported by the OS and use the IP address as seen by the STUN server which will be the VPN address.
