If the raid controller cache makes an improvement or not depends on the workload and the size of the cache. I think the 3.84TB drives have 4GB cache internally. That's large compared to the RAID controllers cache. What do Dell recommend? I haven't asked Dell what they recommend. The H730P has 2GB and the H740P has 8GB though. Give them a call. A little more than 3 years ago I spec'ed a computer with 4 SATA SSDs in two RAID1 arrays and I remember that they were adamant that I get the H730P controller. Machine was an R630. Of course they were, they're job is to sell you thing, or more expensive things, than you really need. That's kind of what I was thinking.. though I have had many times where vendors like Dell just don't do that. Sure they want to sell you stuff but it's not good to constantly take advantage of people either as it will catch up to you one way or another. Case and point, I over-spec'd a system a while back and my Dell VAR suggested I go with part X because it was just as good as part Y only a lot cheaper.

@flaxking said in Check my 2 min audio theory on Containers: @scottalanmiller said in Check my 2 min audio theory on Containers: @flaxking said in Check my 2 min audio theory on Containers: What you're talking about is one aspect of part of implementing DevOps that is often misinterpreted to mean the whole of it. And yes, it is stupid to call that DevOps. That's just Ops using different tools. I see it as the opposite. Patrick's core DevOps... "Thanks to the devopsdays conference, the idea of devops seems to live on. While talking with other people about it, I realize that it is difficult to frame it within the current IT landscape. At lot of the ideas are coming from different kinds of emerging technologies (T) and process management (P) approaches. For me the two most important observations are: there is a increase in feedback loops between business, all parts of the delivery process and operations thanks to this feedback loops we increase the quality and speed up the flow" This is the core of DevOps, not well described, but pretty clearly about IT, not development. This is the core. Very, very loosely defined to the point of useless, sure. Then things like DevOps talking dev itself is the extra, the tack on later. It's not "part of" devops, any more than it is of any operations. And just how operations doesn't cease to exist without developers, neither does DevOps. I believe everything on that page is all meant to be within the context of companies doing development. But I agree, the core of DevOps is about Ops and Business practices. However, I firmly believe the name DevOps comes from Ops and Development working together, and thus the reason why discussions of DevOps implementation specifics centre around companies doing software development. Though just based on that page, I could see why someone could still take a different view. However, I consider The DevOps Handbook to be the definitive source, rather than notes on the initial discussions. I think doing that makes DevOps a pointless, useless concept. Hopefully that's not what he intended. As an ops practice, it has tremendous value. As a merger of dev and ops, it's just bluster.

Si! Nice, we have a place here that sells it. To be honest I got to try it. Don't get your hopes up. It is meh at best. Modelo was way better when it didn't cost as much as Heineken. But Negra Modelo is awesome.

For me it would depend on the redundancy level of the RAID along with the age of the drives. I'd also make sure they're all the same speed (and ideally size). If you're using older drives then I would at least dedicate one hot spare and have at least another spare offline, ready as a replacement. If you're not under time pressure then why not just order it and see if the hard drives work with it? If there is a firmware issue then you'll find out right there. I've seen enterprise level hard drives last in excess of 10 years (although I can't vouch for their performance at that point, it may be affected), so I think it's worth a shot.

Ubuntu is headed in the same directly. You'd use SNAP instead of APT. But how it handles things like the kernel, I've no idea. This process is only for applications. I would assume that you still use apt or dnf for system updates. There is no apt or dnf... to get updates for the OS, you can run: rpm-ostree upgrade

I would have to go dig around my posts on the UBNT community to find all the various ways I got logs when troubleshooting L2TP 6 months ago.

@pete-s said in Why you don't need a VPN or not?: Thanks, I have to think about this some more. It's a big chance. LAN-centric security thinking has been preached for so long, it's an assumed starting point to network design. Entire "must have" product families were based on it, like Active Directory and SMB protocols. Most people just assume that this kind of network will exist and some products nearly require it (Quickbooks, for example.) But as someone that has moved away from it for many years, it's so freeing to not have it.

@phlipelder said in Looking at New Virtual Host Servers (ESXi): @wrx7m said in Looking at New Virtual Host Servers (ESXi): Should I stick with 2 CPUs? We currently have 4 cores per CPU and 2 CPUs per server. I would be looking at increasing the core count, too. I don't think adding pCPUs would benefit me. A pair of 6134 would avoid the Windows Server core tax. It’s tje nest bang for the GHz buck and our goto for most builds. Need more pRAM then 6134M to gain access to 3TB per node. That would reduce CPU performance though, in order to get access to RAM sizes above 600% of his current need, not much of a benefit.

I'm told by the provider that they can set the DSS keys so they must have access to it. Looks like our login don't have it enabled. I rather do it myself due to their incompetence (the reason for wanting to take mater into my hands). Thanks. At least I now know what to look for. On the dashboard, in the top menu under Settings, in the drop down would be Endpoint Manager. Assuming you are on FreePBX 14.

The specific package adobereader is a horrible example though. Because until this month, you installed adobereader-update which also installed adobereader first as part of the package. But now, suddenly, adobereader is all that is needed. adobereader history. adobereader-update history.

So coming back to this (because I was setting some more stuff up), it seems that Windows DHCP Server does understand the RFC, that is why it actually sees and uses the entire machine ID sent by default. It is other devices like my EdgeRouters that I have to use the MAC address. The only problem with the machine ID scheme is that I have no idea what it is before the machine is created. Granted this is mostly my problem because I always use DHCP reservations instead of static IP addresses (evil fucking things, those). I continue to force the new systems to use the hardware ID, because I want to only track the MAC address hex info.

Digicert has been really good for us. They have some nice tools as well.

Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think.. What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access? That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. Using a net is much easier than fishing lures. With a net, you only need to find fish. Find bait fisherman needs to find and hook the fish. The sport fisherman needs to find, lure and hook in the fish. While fishing with a net yeilds the most numbers, obviously it doesn't translate to more pay. The highest paid fishermen are sport fishermen. Obviously the sponsored tournament guys are millionaires, but many local guys do quite well. Sport fishing charters often charge $700-1000 a day. We have about 100 of them just in our county. We are a big tourist area, but most areas have 10-20 of those guys in each area around The US. I know of many fishing guides and charters around the world as well. I understand what you're saying - I have a friend that's really into fly fishing. But sports fishing is still small potatoes to the commercial fishing industry. They make billions. Sport fishing has 110 billion dollar industry in just US. That's like $300 per citizen (including babies, prisoners, etc.), per year. I have no idea what the fishing population is like, but the cost of sport fishing must be enormous. My own experience is that @irj is the only fisher I know, anywhere. Seems like the cost for fishing is huge. Even assuming as many as one out of ten people are avid fishers, and that seems extremely high, that's $3,000 to fish every year for life. $3k a year spent on fishing is not uncommon at all. It couldn't be given the size of the market. But 1:10 people as avid fishers seems extreme. Really $10k isn't uncommon at all. Some may spend $30-50k on offshore stuff a year easily. That's crazy. Boat maintenance, storage, and fuel is really expensive. Very true. It adds up. In NY, fishing tends to be waders in a creek. Not ships out at sea. It's still more expensive than you think for a casual fisherman. Trout fishing requires alot of flies and fly fishering itself is very expensive. Rods go from $200-800. Alot of guys in NY can even get to $3k in a year. It just depends on how many different types of fishing you do and how often you do it. It's not a cheap hobby And I like fish (to eat), a lot. And that seems like a lot

Takes me back to high school. Good times.
