@pete-s The fs.com website is what every decent supplier should strive for.
Quantity in stock is shown clearly, no guessing needed! They tell you when the stuff will ship!!

Yes, that's the way it should be.

I saw that they also do custom orders so if I need 200 purple power cables that are exactly 5.5 ft long they can do that.

I'm already putting together my first order from them 🙂

They aren't in the ML community but special shoutout to Ariel Sanchez and Joe Houghes for this help. Somebody needs to get them into ML.

@stacksofplates : Now you're just showing off 🙂

Ha I didn't mean for it to look like that, but you did make me realize I made a mistake so I'll have to fix it. Make has a lot of uses outside of jsut building software. It's a pretty awesome utility.

Thank you all, we are evaluating Bitwarden and Keeper Security at the moment.

@dominica is coming down, too.

@gjacobse We have a tower beside our house that is isolated from the house to prevent a dual-ground situation.

All cables that run into the house are completely isolated to prevent anything jumping in.

We had a client in Edmonton that had a fax modem and a fax service running on a PC. When we set it up the POTS line was grounded prior to running into the PC. Somewhere along the way something was moved around and the POTS line in from the wall got plugged in to the PC modem directly.

An active storm had a strike against the pole in the alley and sure enough besides the boom scaring the carp out of folks the PC was dead. When we opened it up the controller chip on the modem was literally blown out as was the chipset chip under the heatsink. Time for a new PC!

Hi,

You cant but the /boot as raid

However the / or root part can be placed as raid, I did this and I will show you how to do this, but please don't do it.

Here where it gets bad.

You wish to update the system and kernel and all this can affect the RAID/ now the config for the raid is done in the kernel and stored in boot part, so you always updating this and your always keeping the disks busy, even on network packet level. Everything happens will happen on the /

What you want to do is look into purchasing a small reliable drive
Like 64 GB or 128 GB NVMe SSD and using that as your /
or If that is too fancy or expensive, get USB thumb drive and pair it with samsung SD card and install the root part

Then create RAID 10 on the 4 other drives, cause even if the /root fails it wont matter . pop another one and it will auto detect the raid , with cockpit it is very easy to detect the RAID and activate it and mount it

@jaredbusch Right. The datastores are at the hypervisor level. The vmdks would be on respective datastores and then in the VM, they would be also be shown as separate disks.

@dustinb3403 said in Dell Perc H710P 1GB:

Does the Perc H710P 1GB raid controller have a battery backup option I'm just not seeing?

I think all of Dell's PERC series RAID controllers are NVRAM for Cache? Meaning, no need for a cache battery module.

Nowadays, pretty much.

@zachary715 said in DHCP Logic:

Having just done an IP scheme change a month or so ago, I'm A DHCP Reservations believer. Made the process so simple.

Out of curiosity, was a Windows Server handling DHCP for the network?

Why would this matter? I've done the same thing with Windows DHCP and with router DHCP. Both are fairly trivial.Just watch the details. Like anything.

I was told that upgrading Windows Servers, DHCP reservations don't transfer. Of course it should be quick and easy to redo the reservations. Just one of those little annoyances.

Umm, like anything, you export your config and import it on the new server.

A full day is a lot to not be able to log in. They need a workaround to that email dependency.

Oh yeah, Although I was able to login and work on my lab cloud helpdesk. But yeah email dependcy is not the best. Let me see what I can auggest.

The techs didn't notice, because on the tech side, email isn't used. Only end users could not submit tickets in any fashion, but they didn't know that they couldn't submit tickets.

Yeah, that’s true.

Apparently a lot of “people” like it.

I assume you are referring to the illuminati lizard's controlling everything? This is the first time I've been inconvenienced by not having emoji's ever

Specifically, not IT professionals.

I have one in the field. I will never, ever, buy another one.

@zachary715 Ok thanks. We are using Exchange on site.

@romo said in Errors in outbound calls in one extension - Freepbx:

This would be an inbound call right?

You have a bad inbound route setup (you have ports forwarded and no catchall any/any route) or you allow SIP guests.
This is a call terminating on your system but to with a DID you do not own.

This is a probe.

I've only had that issue when using it on KVM. On my Mac using Virtualbox is works.

I've not had it happen before.

If this is what you are using, no. There is not really a better solution than to call in.

@travisdh1 said in How secure are databases in general?:

They are vulnerable, but mostly because applications use a single authenticated user to access a given database. So most of the vulnerabilities are in the web pages and/or applications using a database.

That's application security, not related to the database. Same risk would exist with no database.

@dafyre said in Centos AND Ubuntu Package Mirrors Down:

I disable IPv6 as a matter of defaults on my home network... I'd like to do it at work too, but I never have any issues like that there.

Mee neither. It was weird thing I rebooted everything from the router side and it got fixed, so disregard.
