I really like the Unifi - i've run it for a while and not had a single problem.

I do have a big gripe though - it has a hard wired limit of 4x SSIDs for each access point.

I run a number of VLANs, each with their own SSID - and it means I can only have the Unifi provide my main ones and have to run an old Netgear router on different wifi channels to provide the rest :(

I've never quite understood why my cheap routers running OpenWRT can seemingly have unlimited (or at least a lot of) SSIDs, where an expensive Unifi will only provide 4.

It sounds more like a new product, new direction than Vagrant 2.0....

The hn code doesn't seem to work?

Nifty - useful for quick testing tasks.

The concerns though are the sustainability - if instances are paid for and not free tier + bandwidth, it could not be around for long, particularly if it gets abused.

Also, privacy/security - there is no guarantee that instances are destroyed/erased after use and won't get assigned to someone else or logged into. Probably don't want to put private code/IPR on there just in case.

For quick commands (eg, testing a firewall setup from the outside or checking something from an external ip) then it's very cool indeed.

What's he using to benchmark that? - anyone know?

What's the best benchmark tool for drives and/or network shares?

Is there anywhere to register to receive more information on your book when you get nearer?

Does anyone know technically how LXC compares to OpenVZ?

I would think he meant what you said.... symlinks in the repo doesn't sound a good idea.

I always ran Ubuntu for Desktops and Debian (stable) on servers, but lately i've used Ubuntu for some servers simply because the packages are more up-to-date...
