@Obsolesce said in VMware Community Homelabs: @Pete-S said in VMware Community Homelabs: 5 billion hits per day is Google type traffic You are confusing 5 billion hits/searches per day with requests. Not the same thing. Yes, you're right, I was confused. I read "requests" but thought "page views".

@notverypunny said in Enterprise IT community: Don't know if we qualify as enterprise, but communities like this help get an external perspective regardless of the size of the organization. The challenge I find in larger orgs is the inertia involved in anything IT. Almost in the literal sense as far as trying to get something started but also in trying to halt / redirect a project that's heading for a bad outcome. In an actual enterprise, I would suspect that only the management team of IT could have much real impact on a project going a bad direction. And again, it's getting those in management to have buy-in before anything would change.

And arguing about the word "critical". Specifically "Critical" means everything outside "critical" is OK from the sources. So it's like "critical" is even more a niche than "any" production usage. That's why I think this wording is not fit: every production load (ie in a company) makes sense. Hobbyist is clearly not related to "production", that's why "critical" word isn't needed here Critical in the business sense, means I need support, supporting it yourself is not an option. FFS

@DustinB3403 said in Xen Orchestra - Feature Restrictions: @dbeato said in Xen Orchestra - Feature Restrictions: I am using the community edition. Are you having some issue or just making a statement? Making a statement, my issue with notifications as I chatted you, I will post something about it.

@danp his installation is pre-service creation. IMO time to rebuild and get current.

I'm in, if this takes off.

@Dashrender said in Forum Posting Etiquette: @scottalanmiller said in Forum Posting Etiquette: @dashrender said in Forum Posting Etiquette: @dave247 said in Forum Posting Etiquette: @scottalanmiller said in Forum Posting Etiquette: @dashrender said in Forum Posting Etiquette: I do like the idea of many smaller posts - but it also runs into the problem of many thing to respond to at once. While I'm no where near as fast as Scott, I can typically type two to three small posts before the OP (or anyone other than Scott) replies to my first reply. So unlike your I like red. So do I, but have you considered orange, no but, ... you aren't having a real back and forth because you run into the same problem as the wall of text issue. I real time conversation where all involved parties get the information simultaneously, in a forum you have people jumping in in the middle and fleeing, or someone who just throws out 5 ideas, each in their own post before any responses are made, and eventually many people just stop reading anything but the last few posts. I'm not sure you can solve this problem, but it's just good to know it's there. But smaller posts make it easier to respond. No matter how much time you have, making it faster and easier helps you. Wall of text in the same situation would mean no ability to respond at all. I noticed this with how you post back in Spiceworks and I was like, what the hell is this guy doing. But having broken up posts to respond to is kind of nice. It becomes not nice when there are many of them peppered throughout the whole forum page. Then you have to scroll around like crazy to find what it is you need to respond to. This was my point - in other words both situations lead to the same end, people not reading/responding to posts. Keep in mind what you are implying here... that there is a post that is so long, that if responded to, people won't respond. So the answer is to... not respond? Doesn't that suggest two things... Not responding would make it worse, not better - because it would just make the thing that you don't want to have happen, happen earlier? That the source of the issue is the original post(s) that created a situation where you already don't like the length that it would take to respond to them? Well frankly, due to the organic nature of so many of our and other threads, anything more than about 30 posts deep become near pointless as almost no new comer will read the entire thread before responding. If you're lucky, they'll read the OP and the last 4-5 posts very likely repeating something someone already said. The difference being that with a wall of text you can cause people to leave the conversation in a single go, rather than after a long thread has happened, because you have to read so much to even figure out the context. That's part of the point - people use it when they want to stop people from bothering to respond. It's all about upping the "minimum point of response" to make it too much effort or too time consuming for people to bother responding. So it only makes sense to use when you know you are wrong already and want to silence opposition. If you truly want to find answers, or don't believe what you are saying is false, then it has no benefits.

@ScaleLegion said in St. Louis folks...: Not exactly a Legion event, but we'll be at O'Fallon Brewery this evening from 6-9:30 with Barracuda. Feel free to stop in for a brew or two and learn a bit. I'll be talking community with attendees on the sidelines. Tesla has donated two cars for test driving, although you would be a passenger along with a weekend Tesla giveaway! Register here: https://www.barracuda.com/events/invitation/MarylandHeights1110 Thank you, Scale Legion St Louis is holding their SpiceCorp tonight in south St Louis county or I would be all over this.

@Kelly said in Support Tips/Tricks and maybe a Treat or two!: -ordering my first Scale cluster tomorrow A perfect holiday gift idea for all of your techie loved ones! Or for yourself. Congrats!

Didn't I just talk to one of you this morning? Welcome to everyone from Scale.

@Danp said: @johnhooks said: So I've waited about 30 minutes or so, much longer after the backup completed. I still have a snapshot called XO_DELTA_BASE_VDI_SNAPSHOT. Am I able to delete it and it not affect the backup or is the delta based off of the snapshot? Did you every get clarification on this? I suspect this is needed for the delta backup. Yes, it uses the snapshots to make the backups. That's what I figured it was doing, but since Dustin didn't see it I thought maybe something was wrong. We resolved it in another thread, I can't remember which one at this point.

There we go, we got it.

@coliver that's partially why I'm looking, for me at least, a community completely dedicated to literary gaming. There are lots of general gaming communities out there already. Never going to really compete with those. But something unique, like discussing gaming in a storytelling context would be something special.

@scottalanmiller said: @Bill-Kindle said: @thanksaj said: Before the jokes come, Too late http://www.askmen.com/dating/love_tip_60/79_love_tip.html Oh no... the jokes came already. That's a different problem.....

@scottalanmiller said: From the pic, it just looks like an account. Being hacked would likely be completely different. Yeah, which is what I figured too. There were probably 7-9 accounts total, at a rough guess, that were doing it, but a few more prolific than others.

I use the unread when I'm on site as the point of origin from where start. I like the notifications the way they are. I'm also mentioning @Reid-Cooper because he needs mentioning.
