  4. RSF - an alternative on Linux Failover? · · Score: 1

    Haven't seen anyone mention RSF, yet, so I'll point you over too www.high-availability.com, their homepage. It can be configured to work with 1 interface/machine (relying on a serial and disk 'heartbeat' to insure things are up).

    Nothing scary in having immensly powerful machines, able to modify their own systems, at a rate we cant even approach ?
    I can imagine that in the time it takes the operator to think "thats bad", and reach for the switch, the AI will already have found out about networks, read some hackers guides, and escaped. Because intelligne tlife strives to break its barriers.
