@RojoLoco said in Adobe After Effects - Preview is not real time:

@scottalanmiller mid to late 90s. absolutely. I graduated with my audio degree end of '96, literally EVERY VENDOR had Apple's ball juice conspicuously on their chin. According to "the industry" at that time, nobody could record multitrack audio, use photoshop/after effects / premiere etc, or do any kind of multimedia production without a Mac. My personal mission since then has been to shit all over that mindset.

I know what you're talking about. At the end of the nineties I worked with a company that was running Protools on Windows NT and not Mac. It was rather unusual. System could do 64 tracks of 24 bit @ 48kHz on a Pentium II full of effects, but that was in large part because audio processing was offloaded to DSP cards. That's Digital Signal Processors for those who don't know. Audio tracks where recorded to SCSI disks. I remember it was a very stable and good system but it was extremely picky on hardware.

So I should just get rid of the TOTE of 20 or so IP650 Polycom phones someone left on my desk?
(for those not in the know, my desk often becomes the Junk/Recycle pile collection site for some reason)

I would. Or get them to eBay.

@JaredBusch said in Windows Server 2019 Basic Installation:

The current install method brings Windows Server on parity with the Linux ecosystem really. You install, choose some options and end up at a prompt after reboot. Then you remotely add the features and shit you want.

Yeah, very in like with Fedora, Ubuntu, or Deepin. Deepin might still be my favourite installer for normal stuff of the four.

Did you have a Deepin install screenshot chain on here?

No, but I do it so often, it would be easy to get.

That'd be nice to see on here.

Last post on it was below

The install still looks like that.

LOL that's not an installer. That's a push button, get peanuts.

Nice though.

failover?

As in a live/live cluster? That uses VRRP and yes, they can.

Then that is the way to go.

I would agree.

It is the best thing to do. Sadly I have never had the leisure to actually test it. I have a pair of ERL in colo but they were put in place long before this feature was added.

Yeah, but I have been authorized to make some upgrades that will free up an ERL for us, and we have an ERL in our colo. So maybe I'll ship one out there to do this soon. That would be an awesome project.

Don't think I would try and live test in colo.

@scottalanmiller said in Make Yealink Ring While on the Phone:

If you have Yealink T46S phone, and you are talking on the phone, instead of making it do a call waiting beep, can you make it ring normally? A bit odd, but there is a reason for it 🙂

Not to my knowledge.

It was supposedly added as a feature request a few years ago, and I have not noticed it in a firmware release note.

That would explain why I have never seen it come up. Not that anyone has ever wanted it previously.

So to answer my own question:
"Which hosts belong in what pool when running local storage?"

The answer is none - at least with xenserver. Don't use pools when using local storage.

@dave247 said in Windows 7 End of Support Countdown:

Man, I just finished upgrading us to Windows 7 64 bit. Got the last XP machine removed last week...

Did you really target Windows 7 as the "go to" target, or was it simply that the last XP was removed finally and now Windows 7 is the "old stuff" left around?

nah I was just gaffin. I've upgraded all our stuff to Windows 10 1809 baby

Oh, haha. You never know. The number of people out there pushing for Windows is crazy high.

@JaredBusch I don't know if you ever finished up with this client, but for $1236 you can get a decent server that would work well.

Anyone familiar with Mango Intranet? Want to look at a few different options...

Seriously... $4 per user, per month. Ouch.

Looks like you could do something similar on WordPress for way less.

Now that's disaster recovery planning long term!

Thanks for the example. It makes so much sense now.

Have never looked at that.

@Obsolesce said in Conatainers (Docker) vs VMs - When and Why?:

Are there many use cases in the SMB outside of Dev?

Not even in dev really for the SMB. Just use a single VM to do the work. SMB rarely needs to scale.

Other than as you stated, the solution is presented that way. Like UNMS.

Even enterprise rarely need to scale that way. It's more for hosting companies than anything.

@scottalanmiller I was considering rolling them back to last night as a last-ditch scenario is all fails since it is on Veeam and I have a Full from last night.

I assume that this is a component of another product?

Part of ConnectWiseControl. (or ScreenConnect as we still call it around here.)

It's at the bottom of the View tab when attached to a guest. Takes you to a new sessions as a System account with a command prompt and powershell window already open. No limit to what you can accomplish there. many gui apps will run in backstage too.

@brandon220 said in How to Download and Install Mods for Minecraft:

@JaredBusch Yes, we were going to try to use the Pterodactyl panel to manage a server.

That has nothing to do with the point of this thread. Make a new thread if you want to discuss that.
