Yes. A perpetual license just means no fixed end date, not that it’s irrevocable or interminable.

You can probably get away with continuing to use ESXi free licenses even commercially, you just won’t have support. And at home, nothing is going to stop existing versions from working.

Incidentally, assuming I found the right license agreement: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/downloads/eula/universal_eula.pdf

It doesn’t actually say it’s perpetual. It only says “The term of this EULA begins on Delivery of the Software and continues until this EULA is terminated in accordance with this Section 9”, but that section only covers termination for cause or insolvency, there is no provision for termination at VMware’s discretion. So, while I’m not a lawyer, it definitely sounds like you can continue using ESXi free.

Actually, reading further, I think the applicable license is this one: https://www.vmware.com/vmware-general-terms.html

But that one has even less language about license term and termination. Although it does define “perpetual license” as “a license to the Software with a perpetual term”, again not irrevocable or interminable.

That one was posted by a spambot, which a lot of people have blocked.

All title information on the house would be recorded and attached in the blockchain so when you go to sell your home, you can prove there aren’t any liens against the home

Don’t we already have state or local databases for stuff like houses and cars? How does the blockchain stuff add anything?

How is this tech-related?

Agreed. I subscribed here for “technology news and articles”, as per the community description.

Though strictly speaking, business decisions aren’t technology news, even if it’s a software company.

Yeah. The man was a piece of shit in several ways, but he was also good at what he did.

sites will have to verify the age of visitors, either by asking for government-issued documents or using biometric data, such as face scans, to estimate their age

Yeah, most sites are just going to block UK users. Dealing with personal data like that is a nightmare.

ect

*etc., short for et cetera, Latin “and the rest”.

But native speakers do that all the time too. I don’t know how, because nobody ever says “ect” out loud.

It’s not, but the top mod also runs a bot that automatically posts content from various news sites, probably based on keywords. And I’d bet that some of those keywords are Twitter and Facebook. So don’t expect them to follow their own rules.

tech·nol·o·gy

noun

• the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. “advances in computer technology”

• machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. “it will reduce the industry’s ability to spend money on new technology”

• the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences.

Some bozo changing the rules on his social media site is not scientific knowledge.

Why is the author suggesting government regulation should be involved here? Spamming and scamming is nothing new, at all. This is on the platforms to actually do a substantial job of moderating.

No, same issue with the parent elements. Eventually you’d be blocking too widely and block the whole thing.

Hmm. Like @ganeshaix said, maybe the cable, or the backplane? Does it work if you connect the drives directly to the card?

SAS to 4 times SATA

I’m no expert, but can you do that? Are they SAS or SATA drives? Do they show up if you connect the drives or backplane directly to the motherboard?

For most cases that works fine, but it looks like the xpath uses generated identifiers, so any time they push a change to the Gmail UI the rule won’t match any more.

With what rule? I looked and it didn’t seem like there was a good way to target it.

The fediverse runs on the web, though.
