The problem with a vpn in a browser is simply that it only protects a 
single endpoint.? There may be a dozen other apps on the same computer 
which are not protected.

There is a wave of Open Source companies being bought up. Open Suse or SUSE, the open source software company, was sold to a Swedish private equity firm for a modest 2.5 billion. It is interesting to note that Microsoft designed its Hyper-V server from open source code garnered from Suse. Microsoft recently acquired GitHub for $7.5 billion, one of the core development for all open source products...at least there is still GitLab. 

Now Redhat has been bought up by the highest bidder, IBM, for a respectable $34 billion. Other bidders reportedly were Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle. As objectionable as the thought of Redhat going under the IBM banner, the possibility of the other bidders mentioned above, placing the winning bid, leaves me relieved...under the circumstances. But where does this leave related distributions like Fedora and CentOS?

My fears are that the next big player, Canonical, the writer of Ubuntu and the core of dozens of various distributions like Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint etc etc is next...and then by association where does that leave Debian. 

There is of course, now, the obvious danger of being too successful. An open source, highly creative world, built on a system of sharing that has become so successful that it is now considered the global OS. Such a system can not flourish within a purely Capitalistic profit driven environment.

Hi John:

I think the new lexicon term is "HyperCloud", what ever that means. There is a problem with getting Quantum computing working correctly. It works well, in theory, but in practice it's too unpredictable...for now. The AI part is working but not everyone has a supercomputer.

As long as all their customers run out and buy such monsters but just maybe that is what the HyperCloud technology is? Being able to run a full blown AI on your desktop via IBM's Cloud might be possible.

Hi John:

I think the new lexicon term is "HyperCloud", what ever that means. There is a problem with getting Quantum computing working correctly. It works well, in theory, but in practice it's too unpredictable...for now. The AI part is working but not everyone has a supercomputer.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Open Source being bought up

There is a wave of Open Source companies being bought up. Open Suse or SUSE, the open source software company, was sold to a Swedish private equity firm for a modest 2.5 billion. It is interesting to note that Microsoft designed its Hyper-V server from open source code garnered from Suse. Microsoft recently acquired GitHub for $7.5 billion, one of the core development for all open source products...at least there is still GitLab. 

Now Redhat has been bought up by the highest bidder, IBM, for a respectable $34 billion. Other bidders reportedly were Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle. As objectionable as the thought of Redhat going under the IBM banner, the possibility of the other bidders mentioned above, placing the winning bid, leaves me relieved...under the circumstances. But where does this leave related distributions like Fedora and CentOS?

My fears are that the next big player, Canonical, the writer of Ubuntu and the core of dozens of various distributions like Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint etc etc is next...and then by association where does that leave Debian. 

There is of course, now, the obvious danger of being too successful. An open source, highly creative world, built on a system of sharing that has become so successful that it is now considered the global OS. Such a system can not flourish within a purely Capitalistic profit driven environment.

You have hit on the major problem with desktop machines. 

When a company has to really crunch numbers, perform mission critical computing, has a huge store of data and run a full online sales campaign, there is only one way that can be done. Harness the Cloud.  

You are right, business is becoming terminal based. How can a business compete against a Cloud like AWS, where a process can be launched where there is 256GB of RAM and a 100 CPUs at the customers disposal. I have watched a process that had taken almost a day on a small businesses systems and then when everything was set up, using hourly rates, on a Cloud, the result took less than a ten minutes. That is the bottom line, not everyone has the power of a mainframe in their office...but you can connect to, use it for a few hours and spend around $15.00. How can anyone's servers compete?  

Example:

https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/
https://www.azure.cn/en-us/pricing/overview/

AWS just boggles my mind as it may take an hour just to figure out the pricing unless you do it all the time.

In what context? How is the HTML being created? 

HTML doesn't  "format as a link".  It's just a markup language.
Someone or something would have to  code the link into the HTML.

Yes -- I'm sorry for not being clear. It's an html template. I assumed it
was a part of utf-8. 

<meta charset="utf-8">

Nope, nothing to do with character sets, that just tells the browser how to turn the bytes in the 
HTML file into characters.

It will only be a link if it is surrounded by <a>........ </a>.

HTML template for what? Can you send me a copy of the template?

Nope -- just (000) 000-0000. Displays as a link.

I saw that, but didn't glean the same thing Stuart did. I tried all three
solutions and didn't get any of them to work. But, if it only displays in
Edge, I don't really care.

BTW, the meta tag worked perfectly: 

 <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"/>

It's an all-or-nothing solution, but for my purposes, it's fine. 

Thanks Stuart!

Subject: [dba-Tech] PowerShell question
Message-ID: <CAEPJO1jj6cJUZGBznJNnZ+N+ZCzNS53oMuj8rVN13q=aBs5snw@mail.gmail.com>

My SSD is only 250GB (I plan to upgrade in a week or so). As a result, I
mirror My Documents from the SSD to an external drive (g:). It's easy
enough to do the basic copy, but I would like to optimize it, skipping all
the files that already exist on the target unless the source file's date is
greater than the target's, in which case I want to overwrite it. Last, I
would like to delete all the files from the source folder that are older
than a week.
Any PS experts out there to assist?

TIA,
Arthur

Sorted off-line.  For those who are interested, it's MS Edge second guessing the user!
