Couple thoughts...

It's spelled EPYC...

There were some weird NUMA considerations when trying to saturate 100Gbps Ethernet NIC's. I saw some firmware improvement/workarounds (basically stick TCP to a core so it wouldn't span NUMA nodes). 99% of people are not going to care about this, and the work around seems to be holding from what I've seen.

For Single socket it's really the best bang for buck out there. I've seen some impressive vSAN numbers on it if anyone's wondering. It doesn't lock out 1/2 the PCI-E or Memory lanes like Intel in a single socket config.

I've got a RYZEN at home, and quite happy with it.

I'm hearing Intel made some optimizations for multi-threaded and cloud native workloads in Skylake that cause issues for .NET and single threaded apps. I haven't done any bake offs but I'm curious if AMD went down the same pass (especially with spin locks). If you have older .NET code with lots of spin locks you want to get it updated or get ready for potential (heavy) regressions on performance vs. Broadwell. We are entering a weird situation where CPU vendors are starting to NOT optimize for enterprise applications but for the mega clouds.

While I think ARM is awesome, there also is a LOOOOOOOT of optimization to be done with compilers before it gets taken seriously outside of edge cases, or homogenous workloads where people will invest the time like CloudFlare.

It requires a outage to migrate between Intel and AMD at a virtualization layer. Intel also has QuickAssit and some other interesting offload, as well as Apache Pass technology.

@penguinwrangler

Compared to Pi3 this chip = RK3399 paves the way for ARM desktop alternatives without any lags.

I never use RPi as a desktop.

@pete-s said in Easy to manage KVM host setup:

Fedora Server was a no go on the old HP server I had. It would hang during install.
I tried xcp-ng (= xenserver ~ centos) on it and it installed fine. Debian 9 also installs fine.

I'll try CentOS next.

That's surprising. What server is it?

I had to go check what it was and it's a HP DL360 G5.
It's too old and slow anyway so not a big deal, but still surprising.

I have two Dell R710 laying around as well that I could use instead. They're a little less ancient I think (xeon 5500 series). It just for testing so as long as it works performance doesn't matter much. Just need to have enough RAM.

So it turns out that Easy Appointment is not a fit. No reminders of an upcoming event, only if an event changes are there email notifications.

Nextcloud Calendar may work but for some reason, the popup reminders are not working even though I've enabled popups for the site on my browser. Even tried via Edge and Firefox and popups don't work in those either. I'd also need to figure out a way to turn off the file share function of Nextcloud for this to be approved. I'm going to keep plugging away at Nextcloud and see if I can get reminders to work.

@stacksofplates said in Ubiquiti WiFi vs... everyone:

This isn't wifi related but a big downside for us is the largest 10 gig switches are only 16 port. For a site with 40 Gb core and 10 Gb everywhere it's a big limitation.

I wouldn't buy 10Gbps ports in 2018. 25Gbps or 100Gbps. Cost is the same for 25Gbps with how the ASICs and optics work.

Atlanta had a few outages the last several days, too. Nothing big.

@scottalanmiller said in Fedora: Skype for Linux:

Does the installer allow for video? Any benefit over the web page?

Seems to - though I've not had any calls to test it.... if you wish,. call away to test. But it did pick up the Jabra Headset and the Logictech Camera.

I never have issues with this.

Well cause you use WIFi 5 Ghz AC perhaps, I am stuck with peanuts WiFi till we find budget for 100 machines for USB wifi adapters for AC 5 Ghz.

It is hard to justify that when you have the standard USB 2.4 ghz cost 10 JOD while the AC 5 ghz one is 30 JOD.

Wouldn't faster wifi be more of an issue than slower?

Nope, the slower the WiFi the longer it takes to backup the files, thus the longer backup job that never finishes.

Add to that 10 users same effect and we get those users that slow down everything, the faster they finish the better IMO, also if user on this slow WiFi adapter or other wishes to receive emails or print to network it will also be very slow on his end.

I wish if that office was cable connected instead, and cables everywhere. We have very good switches and every client will be able to reach ~80 MB/s instead of this 4 MB/s wifi. Some users have 40 GB worth of backup.

I'm confused, you want to make the system slower, but slower is the problem?

@stacksofplates said in Linux: History:

you can just do

gedit ~/.bash_history

or if you like the cli

cat ~/.bash_history

Obv only Bash if that's what you're using.

Why conCATenate? Just use LESS.

You can do either or any combination. Mostly just pointing you you don't need the gui.

By the way it works the same with 2FA in this forum, unless you sign out of the browser it keeps your session ID.

Hello All,

The Issue has been fixed as the reason for RemoteRegistry access Denied is Our Domain environment GPO is configured the RemoteRegistry service to start as automatic but the security setting of that service is configured with no user which cause all users to access deny.

Configured the GPO is with appropriate permission to the RemoteRegistry service and now all working prefect

Thanks All

All good. I dove way too deep on this one :crazy_face:

Turns out when I upgraded Moodle I forgot to put a log directory back in place and it was failing on the Apache restart.

I was just gonna ask if you're sure the service that's supposed to respond on those ports was running. That's the first thing I check anymore. Glad you were able to get it sorted.

For some reason I just went deep end because of Linode being involved. Oh well, lesson learned...I hope.

@dustinb3403 That's a good point. I think I would need another set of licenses with a possible exception in an emergency.
Maybe I will quit stalling and go ahead and and start using the server. I should have a fair amount of time next week.

Pretty much anywhere there is open land for a while you're certain to find at least a few rednecks, just like whitetail deer. . . they congregate wherever they can.

You may not have LoS to the building from your current location but I had a similar issue with a client and we were able to negotiate with the property management of a nearby apartment building that did have LoS. My client rents access to the building roof where we installed fiber internet access and a Poit-to-Point network. There's about 2km between the PtP devices and we managed to get about 175Mbps speeds using Ubiquiti gear. Would that be an option you could investigate? Easy to setup VPN between locations at that time.

Had another issue today at a different client. POTS handoff of Spectrum phones had one way audio.

I also could not get to the spectrumbusiness.net website to log in and forward the phones.

I had to send a tech on site with an analog phone to manually *72 forward the lines.

Thankfully the port is already scheduled for this client and happens on the 5th.

Terminus FTW!
