@irj Oh I didn't know about that, I could watch the Bundesliga!

@tim_g Yeah I pay for netflix for the kids. I would enjoy watching it some but I can't ever get control of the tv from the kids lol

@scottalanmiller Yeah going to have to agree with this. Seems like a strongarm tactic here and its rediculous. No reason I can think of that you would need to do anything they say.

I'll second the Cloudflare choice. I use it. They have a nice free version but an even better paid option. You should be deciding how to handle things, not that company your talking to.

Well to me cutrting the cord always implied getting away from the cable companies and their way of doing things. It is not necessarily cheaper but you at least have more choice in what you want to watch and pay for. Is it better? That is going to depend on your viewing habits I suppose.

@scottalanmiller Cool, congrats!

thanks for the wrap-up. So who is your new job with? No longer going to be with NTG?

@scottalanmiller well guess that was it, hard to rememeber, if it was 1995 then i was 21. I liked it btw

I was about 20 at the time so around 1993-1994 and my first then was whatever red hat version it was up to by then, sorry don't remember more than that. Came in big book with cd i believe. wish i still had that book but ex girlfriend threw it away

Others had good suggestions but I have used OneNote for small usage and Docubase for large usage.

@storageninja I will have to look into your strategy as well!

@storageninja Well i don't do lots. This may not make a lot of sense but I take my time and enjoy researching. When i find something I like i buy a few. I'm not exactly a major stockholder in anything lol. Its more of the journey for me that i enjoy but I also learn too. I just take a small % every month and buy a few of something I like.

@dashrender thanks I need to install that too

@dustinb3403 just as good as my suggestion!

good article thanks and handy script

Can we implement something like the daily challenge here as well?

@tim_g Yeah that looks like a pain to do. Nice explanation though, thought you did well. Liked the few articles you have up, keep them coming.

@dashrender and if they are like the kids in my labs then they will be absolutely malicious just for the fun of it

Btw when I tried to look at your original website, Cloudflare said your site was down.

@tim_g That makes a lot of sense and just re-enforces the need to be powershell competent. I think your right about the rest too

@dashrender Yeah it really is for testing purposes. I opened this topic because I wanted to get a better understanding of Raid than my limited experience had to offer and the various guides you can read explaining it. Every guide I have found does not go into any depth at all. I have learned Much more from this topic than from any previous article I have read.

At work I don't have any users who it would make sense to have a Raid system set up for currently. I just want to be prepared and know exactly what steps to consider if the use case ever does appear. While I am a noob compared to most of you all I still have no trouble setting up raid when I want to as I have a few times. I just wanted a better understanding of why and what other things to consider.

For myself there is value in me running a good Raid system at home. Who couldn't use a little better performance and reliability? I will do Raid 10. The most important thing to me is the learning experience and I like knowing best practices if at all possible. However, there are still things to consider. Remember everything I do at home is to help me learn something else in case I ever need it and I just like understanding things and am constantly trying to learn more. For home, what negatives do you see in using KVM so i can run lots of vm's in a Raid 10 system?
