I have been using IRSSI and it’s proxy feature to keep a running connection to freenode. While I play road warrior with the laptop. With a bit of down time over the holidays I came across ZNC. While not a new project it is new to me. I found that it’s features set and project focus is what I was trying to have IRSSI do for me. This IRC bouncer they call it is quite mature now and has many module for expansion.. check it out at http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC
Coraid is that niche ATA over Ethernet (AOE) vendor that’s always about to break out of its reservation but never has. That could be about to change if things we’re hearing from resellers are true.
Comment:
We Tried purchasing Coraid via the CDW Channel. Two very disturbing factors were expressed as requirements to purchase. 75% of the tray had to be full of their $279 1TB sata Hard Drives (12 of 16) and the $800+ service contract. so the 4000 tray + 4100 in drives and contract to replace them will keep them from breaking out.
After I expressed the unwillingness to pay 3 X what I could get a 2TB sata drive for. They Stayed firm on the drive requirements and service contract.
we’re using regular PC with Debian and AOE from the Main stream kernel.
