GitHub Enterprise is great for on-premises, but it's very, very expensive and limits the number of users on it. I have to run my own backups.
Atlassian also does this for their on-premises software.
I don't think this is fair that since we don't use the cloud and provided our own compute, power, space, and network that we should pay by the user, but here we are. I administer it and run my own backups. I shouldn't be paying for each user.
I'm asking because it cost me $4,000 out-of-pocket to merely identify if my uncommon, congenital disorder is the really bad kind or just the somewhat inconvenient kind (it was the latter).
Doing a differential analysis must cost a boatload of cash on top of this.
Those dumb names, like the silly "MongoDB," were just created to encourage the hyping of their technologies, even though they are simplified and inadequate versions of what was earlier well-tested and battle-proven.
Back when I was at AOL in Vienna, VA, there was a bookstore called Computer Literacy Bookstore, a few doors down from the headquarters of Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus (who annually would show off their elephant-de-jour).
I bought the first two editions there the moment I became aware of them. They're signed in pencil by Knuth himself. The fact that he used pencil I found amusing.
I bought the third edition, which was a huge, huge event as it was much anticipated, and enjoyed it better than the first two since I have rather poor mathematical ability and could relate more to the fuzzy concepts of sorting and searching than some of the more mathematical concepts in the earlier two editions.
Since I left the software engineering community in favor of what we used to call "systems programming" and now call "DevOps," I didn't become aware of the "4A" edition until this evening. Thanks for the heads-up. Maybe it will encourage me to get back into software engineering and overcome my weakness in math.
Run away from DreamHost. They're cheap but you get what you pay for, though 1and1 is now price competitive with far higher performance from my benchmarks.
But DreamHost is actually shutting down and scrapping their East-1 cloud environment in January. Data will be lost permanently in less than a month. But that's okay because they told us months ago and are giving away the service for no charge before it gets torn down. But is it?
Okay, so move to next-gen East-2 with their "SSD" storage, but then find out storage is not any faster than their "magnetic" storage on East-1.
DreamHost has become very disappointing recently. I used 1and1 and DigitalOcean and get 10x the storage speed than I do with DreamHost at the very same cost.
This is trivially simple to fix. Honestly, who doesn't check for unknown authorized user keys, and, for that matter, who doesn't also re-key their host keys?
If you think that saving "only $420" on a laptop compared to a MacBook Pro, there's something wrong with either your math or your sense of how much a different $420 makes in that kind of purchase.
It's not really the data, it's the way the data is transmitted. Multiple, single sockets connected to dozens of IP addresses scattered all over the world is a good indicator.
No, the encryption is ineffective. It's not really encrypted that heavily and traffic shaping devices have been able to identify what these streams are for years and years already.
On the flip side, we have the modern IBM System i. All software written for the very first System/38 in the 1970s runs unchanged and without recompilation on its followup, the AS/400.
This same software also continues to run on today's IBM System i running the very latest hardware.
A similar situation exists on the System/360 line, which also continues to run on modern hardware today.
Think of all the many rehosting failures that could have been avoided.
And, yes, the battery backup power supply is required and included for the service to work.
Now I do have some corrections for my post. Today, FiOS uses a dedicated VoIP network on its own fiber line for regular phone service and it uses QoS and a very high bandwidth codec so fax machines, modems, etc. work just fine. They can do this with their extremely high bandwidth and low latency. In many areas it's on its own fiber cable and in others it's one of the three modes on multimode fiber. In both cases it's separate from the TV and data networks. Verizon formerly sold VoiceWing which was a true VoIP service and it was unreliable. It was terminated when FiOS was deployed.
Depending on the area, hybrid fiber copper cable companies like Cox and Comcast offer Digital Telephone using either the old DOCSIS or the newer PacketCable. This is a newer technology that adapts traditional digital telephony to use IP networks instead of DOCSIS. It has some practical problems if the underlying IP network does not honor QoS the same way cable telephony already does. It's "sort of" VoIP but works more like traditional telephone system. The advantage is you can use your IP network for your voice traffic. The disadvantage is higher bandwidth and overhead which, like FiOS, can be handled with higher speed networks and dedicated "channels" for the data. In my area, Cox doesn't use IP yet, but FiOS always has. Comcast depends on the area.
In conclusion, the FiOS, Comcast, and Cox solutions all work even when the internet is not working. They all need power and a battery and fully support 911 and all traditional calling features. The underlying transport may be be ViOP, PacketCable over IP, or straight digital telephony over DOCSIS.

What, exactly, does this have to do with TFA?
This is the result of poor decision making, but a hack like this is even easier with Elasticsearch.
Unless you pay for a license, Elasticsearch doesn't even offer something as simple as user/password authentication.
Seriously.
Yeah, not good. I want performance and will not tolerate CPU thermal throttling at any time.
Dell really didn't think this one through.
The uneven tablet mode will infuriate perfectionists, too.
And what's with that Nostril Camera highlighting the user's grooming habits? Yuck.
Oof, good luck and Godspeed to the 1,000.
EA Origin (The Sims, etc.) is atrociously slow.
For Mac owners, you can't use your DVD and you must download the 10 GB The Sims 4 game.
Estimated time of completion is 24 hours.
Online gaming broker service providers like this are the Christmas Day "batteries not included" tragedy of today's generation.

How much does it cost?

Oof, be prepared to not like the slow storage. It may be SSD, but it benchmarks marginally better than magnetic.
Maybe they should buy some 10g switches and set up a Fibre Channel fabric. Their competitors at $5/month have 10-20x faster storage speed.

Oh, wait, GitHub Enterprise, that's who.
Before we get up in arms, read up on the science.

Akamai is one company that sells a service for this. It's transparent to the user.
Windows 10 (maybe Windows 8?) also use peer-to-peer.
No, the encryption is ineffective. It's not really encrypted that heavily and traffic shaping devices have been able to identify what these streams are for years and years already.
Magnet links protect the directory, e.g. The Pirate Bay.
Identifying the sender and receiver is trivially easy.
How else could a BitTorrent client connect to the sender?
That's not really how it works. Those notices are sent not just to the edge network owner. They are also sent to that network's internet provider.
If the university chooses to ignore the letters, eventually their upstream provider will be left with no choice but to cut the university off.
"the System76 machine with much better specs is less expensive than Apple's"
You could say this about all Apple computers since the day they started making them. For professionals, there is no compelling reason to choose Apple.
Why don't drivers pay for public charging stations?
The owner of the power line has to pay for those kilowatts with someone's money. How is this sustainable? Who is paying for it?
Yeah, the Rochester facility was always playing second fiddle even after the AS/400 was a proven success.
A good book treatment is in "Fortress Rochester: The Inside Story of the IBM iSeries" by Frank G. Soltis.

We have to do something now that XEmacs is basically dead and gone.
Like improving text mode operations on screens wider than 100 characters, for one.
