@BRRABill said in 4 PB on USB3 Drives Single Storage Array:

Speaking of storage ...did the new licensing model for AetherStore come out yet?

Hey everyone! We haven’t officially released pricing for AetherStore 2.0 yet but as many of you know from MangoCon, AetherStore 2.0 will be Freemium. Exact pricing to be publicly announced soon. Hint: it’s going to be VERY affordable (think less expensive than Glacier).

We’ve already talked to several of you about installing the 2.0 Early Release, which we’ll start circulating soon. If you haven’t already talked to us and would like access to the Early Release PM me!

We are thinking of making a choco package for early release and pinging the package name around before it’s publicly available. How many of you use choco?

Server is back online now. Bringing the files in one by one and making sure they had the right name seemed to do it.

I'm assuming @gjacobse is talking about the black cord only.

I don't know OSHA law/rules, but there should be no need to check for over current in the black part, it's a 1 to 1 connection. Assuming you plug the 1 to 1 and it's plugged directly into a UPS port, not a power strip like this picture.

1:1 does not necessarily imply no over current protection is needed.

At this point the assumption would be that the UPS you're plugging into would handle that.

No it is not protecting the cable you plug into it, it may not be the same gauage for the amprage rating of the UPS protection. You also can't assume that. A lot of lower end UPSes do not have circuit breakers.

So it appears my snapshot is 2 days old, yet my backups are reported as working from last night. .

Hrm...

at "200 character width" I started thinking about the COBOL class I took in college.

Suggested edit:

We assume that not only does buying the most expensive, most famous products will be judged well compared to less expensive or less well known ones. We can also assume that but that those in Management see buying products is seen as beneficial to not buying products; even though often the best IT decisions are to not buy things when no need exists.

@JaredBusch said in Franz messaging app:

Someone mentioned this app here a while back and I tried it out.

Did not really like it. I should give it another try.

I think it was @John-Nicholson in telegram. I tried it also and wasnt a big fan.

Yeah. Its ok in this weather as I have a coat with loads of pockets. Might be more of a pain in the summer.

Interesting.

I'm about to use a few different SFP(+)s with HP and UBNT equipment. A reseller I've contacted tells me that they are suppose to be all compatible, but... yeah we know how that often turns out.

My 1 GB fiber SFP (10Gtek) just arrived this morning. I plan to put it in a EdgeSwitch and connect it to an HP with a HP SFP.

Gconf was for Gnome 2, dconf is gnome 3.

@Ambarishrh said in Network-wide, hardware ad blocking using Raspberry Pi:

Yes, it supports most Debian-based distros, so yeah a VM with that and give its IP as DNS would work too

As long as it doesn't have an ARM dependency.

Ooh, whose got the best lawyers? 🙂

All I know is, I don't have any lawyers! I sometimes worry that I'll get arrested for a murder I didn't commit and I'll go "phone my lawyer", only I don't have one and don't even know how you'd go about getting one. I'd probably just phone my mom or something.

That's what most people do. You phone family and the family goes and hires a lawyer and then the lawyer calls you or stops by. Only the super rich have a lawyer ready to call and only so many people who have one have their number handy when being arrested.

This is my favorite post. In the midst of these two ding dongs fighting.... scott brings up a post about someone calling a lawyer. baha

About the only good post in this thread haha.

@scottalanmiller said in EMC ScaleIO Available for Free:

@jason says that the EULA allows for production usage, just without support.

Not really...

https://www.emc.com/content/terms/eula-scaleio.htm

E. “Internal Business Purposes” means an internal (non-commercial) Use for the purpose(s) of testing and demonstrating the features of the Software, and not for Customer product development, product testing, or other Customer research and development or commercial purposes.

Nothing in that says not for production use. But it does say not for commercial purposes and customer development, etc. To me that reads, if I use it internally to run my business, i can.

If the law states you can't kill people it doesn't mean you can kill them with a fork just because fork isn't mentioned.

Production use = Commercial purpose

If you don't agree - go ahead, put SIO into production and be ready to re-write your house to your lawyer. I don't see what I can do to help here 😉

@tonyshowoff said in Explainshell:

I'm not sure why I didn't think of this with EXPLAIN in MySQL it seems pretty obvious, because it works better than "use man pages" because when you build up tons of stuff, sprinkle syntactical sugar all over it, it can even be slightly difficult for experts to understand.

Great idea!

Ya. I hate when man pages don't have an example of the syntqx they want. I've seen some bad enough that it just tells you what the utility is used for with no real explanation.

Yeah, that is seriously missing in a lot of cases.

@StuartJordan said in Profile of an Unethical MSP:

The thread started of well anyway, cant understand why people are still seeing no need to Virtualize....it's 2016, there are free hypervisors to choose from, this shouldn't really be asked anymore.

It really shows the great length of "not wanting to learn" that so many IT people are willing to go to. Virtualization has been standard in the enterprise space for 52 years (1964 it began in production on IBM systems) and in the SMB space it's been common since 2003 and basically ubiquitous since 2005 and unacceptable to not have everywhere (on new deployments) somewhere around 2006 - 2008. By 2005, anyone in even SMB IT not being aware of it meant that they had no place in any kind of technical oversight or decision making role.

How anyone felt that this guy was employable is beyond me. How do we educate customers to look for good vendors?

@JaredBusch said in DHCP the servers:

Personally, I am in the camp of static the hypervisors, DC, routers, and switches.

Yes, I agree on all those.
I am just used to statically assigning everything. This way we can set blocks of IP's aside for an application lets say, that you make block of .100-.150 for that one application and nothing can touch that range. but if you DHCP everything you kinda loose that.

What's the benefit of ranges of that nature? And reservations allow for that as well, you can set aside reservation blocks. But why?

What's the point of putting things besides each other with IPs? We do that for switches on the management vlan but most services are by DNS anyway so it doesn't matter

That's something that I've always said. Any attempt to have an IP address "range" identify things on the network is a mistake, a misunderstanding of the purpose of IP addresses. They are nothing but numbers and humans should not try to make them meaningful, they are inherently not meaningful. The only reasonable exception is the gateway.

For XS export speed: YMMV. I don't have major issues on my side, but some people (let's say 10/15%) had problems.

I suppose it's more related to a hardware problem.

I see improvements yes, but at the margin, I'm often saturating my GB link.
