@dafyre The towel is $19.99, they throw in the creepy guy as a bonus! Just pay the $9/month maintenance fee...

Shit to maintain a human man for only $9 a month I may just buy the towel. . .

CloudAtCost has completely revoked their "free for life" products that people have already paid for in full and is now simply charging for them - even ones that customers already own. Customers are now being extorted to pay annually for something they were sold specifically so that they would not have to pay for in this way. The service is no longer a scam on the technical level, it is now a full scam on the billing and marketing level as well.

I also made some adjustments to RAM usage.

HOST1 only has 24 GB of RAM.
VM1 uses 12 GB, non-dynamic, as it houses the MS SQL database and also runs SCDPM. I'm sure I can cut this in half to 6 GB as it's barely being used, but I'm not going to at this time. I'm also trying to push limits and have things break in this test environment before moving to production. So I'm also trying to cut things close.

Anyways, Dedup daily optimization is set to use 50% RAM... because VM1 is using the other half, when dedup optimization occurs, the server gets really slow. Nothing else is happening on the server during this time, so it shouldn't matter. But I am doing stuff on it for testing purposes and I just can't do anything during the hour or two it takes to run Dedup.

So I edited the amount of RAM dedup uses just for the daily optimization schedule:

Set-DedupSchedule -Name DailyOptimization -Memory 35

For my test environment, I found 35% to be good. Now I have some memory to work with during the time it's running dedup optimization (6am)... which is also the best time for me to work on things.

@Mike-Davis I have the previous generation of this model, without the LCD panel:
https://www.tripplite.com/OmniSmart-LCD-120V-1500VA-810W-Line-Interactive-UPS-Tower-LCD-display-USB-port-Energy-Star~OMNI1500LCDT
Keeps the wife's desktop, monitor and IP phone (as well as our router) up for a good hour before the battery runs low. Tripp Lite's PowerAware software is OK, it does shut the desktop down when it reaches a threshold (I think I have it set at 50%) and does show all cool status of the power incoming to the UPS itself including spikes and sags.

For all the trouble I have gone through to get RDSH working, Next Cloud still makes me wonder...

And does Anyone use Libre Office as a full replacement for Office 2016?

We do. Yes. Unless you are collaborating on document writing with other companies, little use for MS Office.

@scottalanmiller is right. The bottleneck is always the customer router. And not so much bandwidth as much as packets per second. Your dropbox sync is killing your phone calls 50 to 1 over bandwidth 99% of the time. Your $50 linksys router can't handle a million pps.

Most ISP's are little more than Broadsoft resellers with no interconnects in their local market. Even on the WISP side speeds are so good now that bundling voice isn't relevant.

I do them with RackTables. With it, you can document your rack, servers, networks and other devices. You'll have to configure it manually though, but I know with your skills that you'll be able configure it better than mine.

With one look, you'll get a view of what resides in your rack, a deeper inspection will reveal what is connected to what, it's up to you on how detailed you wanted to be. However, I have to be creative on the patchpanel side, I had to double the ports, one in front and one at the back.

You can also configure what details to show to other users. I have my 2 colleagues have access but can not view some server details like usernames and passwords which I made (similar to normal fields). Going this route, you have to ensure that you have a good grip on your database as it stores them as regular text.

Also check OpenDCIM and RackMonkey.

I think I understand the basic process of the scammer.

They call us toll-free. During that toll-free call, they use the compromised extension to make a long-distance call.

Another fake italian… 😒

It's because it's an Italian domain and people think that they are supposed to post in Italian.

Wouldn't two seconds of actually looking at the forums change that perspective though? Even the titles of everything are in English

Holy Necroposting Batman!

I found this topic referenced in another forum, and alas, my server that held the old code for this has long since crashed for reasons we're all familiar with.

In that same post, however, another coder has written a Python script to handle this...

Anyone seen ExaGrid pricing?

@bigbear That I don't know.

How can you ingest NFS storage into NextCloud?

The Current is part of a VM, NextCloud would be a VM - Why could you not mount both?

How woudl that work? What would NextCloud do with a bunch of random files that have no metadata? They don't exist in the database, what would happen to them?

There's a command you can run that will take a list of files and make them available to a user, I think.

So one user would just get "everything." Or else it's a huge manual process.

Not exactly. Have you ever looked at the file structure of ownCloud/Nextcloud?

Basically in the /data folder there are subfolders per user. You would populate those with the files from the old file server. Then you pop into the CLI and issue this command to rescan the folders and put the stuff in the database.

sudo -u apache php occ files:scan --all -v

You can also do it per user.

I would not recommend ever doing this on an existing system that was not already hosed for some other reason.

Dell servers do not like Hyper-V on any USB anything. Tried with 2012R2 and 2016, no love. Could have configured and deployed 10 hosts in the time I spent dicking around with it.
