  • What’s the compatibility like? If someone visits your site using IE 11 does it work? How about Firefox 4.0, or Safari 6.1?

    The place I used to work had those compatibility requirements. But they were also still mandating the use of IE 11 for all their corporate software. If you’re designing and developing for IE 11, you often get Firefox 4.0 and Safari 6.1 compatibility for free.

    Still, it’s nothing like when I was in uni we needed to design websites with IE 6 compatibility, that will make you question your career choice.






  • I’ve done something like this before, but thankfully it only impacted services that I host for my own use, didn’t affect any family and friends.

    Btw, I’ve found the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix this is to simply buy bigger disks. Swap out each disk for a bigger one one-by-one, then resize the whole volume to fill the new disks. Resizing upwards is much faster than shrinking a volume.

    I’ve never had a volume shrink operation work without errors, and yes it takes days if you have more than 4TB.











  • I get how this could be interpreted as offensive, but I think it is just poorly worded.

    This option is for if you are using a legacy version of Linux such as 2.6.x (eg, on an old RedHat distro that your business systems are designed to be run on).

    This enables a compatibility mode so the old kernels don’t complain.
