@IRJ the Dolphins also make me cry...

I see what you did there 😉

I do too, now that you pointed it out.

From memory,
Install the printer on a server, install all driver versions needed for that printer.

Even if you are setting up an IP direct printer, you can have GPOs tell the systems to pull the drivers from a server. There are 3-5 other GPO keys that you need to set to allow users to install printers as non admin.

It's amazing how few customers most niche IT companies actually have. The number of products with thousands or more users are very few indeed.

LTO is $8/TB. That would mean a 4TB drive with far better than RDX speed or reliability would need to be $32 for normal sizes and $64 for the biggest on the market. Tape looks to be like 1/10th the cost of drives.

How much does the actual drive cost?

@johnhooks Are you able to restore from those snapshot backups? I'd be curious to see that process, lol.

Ya, just gunzip the file and then dd if=file of=new LVM

Pretty sure it's driver related.

I didn't get online last night, so I haven't checked to see if there is a new driver for Windows 10.

Update with my topic. I stopped in the part where I need to add the servers information that I want to monitor.

For now we have a lots of ongoing change of management in IT department.
I'll get back with my project once I re-arrange my brain.

I've replaced optical drive with SSD in 27 inch 2009 iMac. It required a conversion tray, iFixit has it for sale. They also have guides how to do it, step by step with pictures. And since yours doesn't have display fused with glass (2012 models and newer), it's fairly easy.
I never bothered to enable TRIM, and I saw no side effects.

The optical drive bay is 3GB/s ... did you keep your original hard drive?

I'm debating doing a full swap to get the full 6GB/s.

Yeah, some definitely will.

I wonder what that will do against Virtualization platforms like XenServer, VMware, et al...

if an lxc-container is functionally equivalent to a VM... Would it be possible to run Windows in an lxc-container... That type of thing.

No, we've had those containers for a decade and we are nowhere near having Windows in them. They all share the parents' kernel by definition. So no Windows coming on Linux containers. Much closer to PV Windows on Xen, at least that has been done in a lab.

What about Containerization on Windows? Didn't OpenVZ or Virtuozzo...used to offer something like that?

You can, in theory, make Windows containers on Windows. But you have to be on Windows already.

I'm afraid that I have not used PPTP for.... ~18 years or so.

VGA just can't scale up to that. You need a digital output.

I do not use alerts from any browser. That is nothing but an interruption. worse than a phone call IMO.

I like what it does, or tries to do. Just a little note in the corner of my screen saying that something happened. If I look away I don't even realize that it happened. but the freezing isn't tenable.

Chiming in here that Eaton has a full suite of rack PDUs as well: http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Power-Distribution/ePDU/

Yeah steam offered me 2FA, I haven't gotten around to it, but should.

I think the bigger concern (from steam) is the threat of someone getting into your account, and gifting a ton of expensive games.

Obviously this would be traceable, but difficult to prove that "You" didn't gift those items.

@Dashrender
I understand. Just so happens, the Dymo was the last printer I used...

@scottalanmiller I believe that's right, I used it a very long time ago, but can't remember the specifics of how we set it up.

It does do a rather good job from what I remember.

@Jason You missed the point. It was a joke...

If you want to use a newer version of .Net, I generally tell it to use whatever version I want and the "Classic" version if it is listed. I've had problems similar using any other version.

OMG, nevermind. Figured that out too. Was a combination of a missing default path and the same .NET CLR pool version as before. It's a subfolder and needs its CLR version set, too. Argh. All is well now.
