@tim_g hi is there a website about scalable for information

Pretty much any hyperconvergence vender will have info on their site.

Greetings to all of the new people. Busy week for sure.

@tim_g said in Sizing a Server and Disks - SQL VM:

We have a Hyper-V host with two tiers of storage: an all SSD RAID, and an all HDD RAID.

WHen I set up the MS SQL server (mainly for MS Dynamics purposes, but it also serves some other critical business functions), I had to do it according to what the Dynamics consultant suggested:

• MS SQL VM: (virtual disk (os drive letter))
  • serv-SQL.vhdx (C:)
  • serv-SQL-DATA.vhdx (D:)
  • serv-SQL-LOG.vhdx (E:)
  • serv-SQL-BACKUP.vhdx (F:)

The D and E virtual disks are located on the SSD RAID on the physical host, the other two are on the HDD RAID.

The stuff needing to be fast like the TempDB, Log, main DB, etc is all on SSD... while the backups and the OS are on the HDD RAID.

I do have SSD caching for the HDD RAID, so the other stuff is actually sped up, though not 100% of the time. Most writes are anyways.

A lot of that is primarily offset by RAM, anyway.

At the water park with the family

A water park, in winter? On a Monday?

At least for Bitcoin. Mining different things has different results. Each algorithm is unique.

@lakshmana said in Centos 7.3 Installed:

@reid-cooper how can i find the battery package name?

I don't know, perhaps knowing what hardware you are using would give us a lead?

@lakshmana said in Centos 7.3 Installed:

Whether the name of the package helps?

It's required. If you don't know it, or we can't figure it out, there is no way to install it.

You need to find the name for that package. Once you have that, the command to install a package is...

yum install packagename

Holy necro-post! Four years ago!

@dafyre said in How far will bitcoin and other cryptos fall?:

I got in on Electroneum (ETN) just before the ICO launched... My $10 is now worth $120, so I saw a nice rise on that one.

How many ICOs have you invested in?

Just that one, ha ha. I had the $10 when I stumbled across it. They had a $10 buy in for 1,000 ETN... So I got in for $0.01 /coin... It's now up to $0.13 / ETN.

Edit: I set up a couple of CPU miners and am earning 10 ETN every day or two (Roughly $1.30). I won't get rich, but it will fund my Steam / GOG habit, lol.

Can you ping me privately about that? I am actually looking to do a very low cost, low yield mining. I would be happy with $10 a month. I just want it for gas fees.

Low cost mining will NEVER give you more than it costs to mine. Stuff just isn't that efficient yet.

Example, you can buy like a $60 USB mining stick... but between the cost of the stick, the cost of hte power consumption of the stick/Pi/whatever, it's never going to work out positively... if it does, you're looking at cents, not dollars.

If you live in areas that don't need cooling, and have lower power needs, you might be good.

This has nothing to do with limits of sending, it has to do with the mailbox running out of space.

That's not what Technet said.

What is the Outbound Connection Limits on IIS?

Should be none. I think they said that the error was coming from Office 365.

Oh, wait, it's Friday afternoon.

Thanks, I'm here all week.

@dashrender said in How can I reactivate my KMS Server for Windows 7:

Lol MAK keys.

Someone needs to make an open source server for MAK keys called MAKDaddy.

Any idea if it is beyond the minute or the day rate?

I got her some moving, because itches love moving.

Girls!

Why don't I just get a mural of Hawaii or something on them?

Real data centers want to hide that they are datacenters. Little data closets want to pretend to be more than they are

Never could get into mead. But a good beer... stout, porter... yum.
