MD RAID 10 is configured on this box for the storage space. So I can check that as well.

Should be the very first thing to check.

@thwr He's got a sense of humor. I don't think he would be upset

Hopefully this is not the last thing we hear from you

Anyone knows a good Linux VNC client? Requirements:

• Connect from console / script
• Upscaling (good quality)
• Keep aspect ratio
• Fullscreen on connect
• Not enforcing encryption (this is just between two RPi's for a fair)

Tried remmina, xtightvnc and a few others so far.

Feeling a bit lonely it's 11:53 here and there's been no posts

Our most active spammer contributor literally hit the road Maybe it's a bit quiet here because of that.

@KOOLER That's basically everything what I've learned about the current situation on hyperconvergence and VSAN's during the last couple of months. Really appreciate your introductory disclaimer. Just remembering one of your posts a couple of months ago over at SW where you said something like "Actually, I'm the sales prevention guy here at StarWind".

Anyway, thanks for your excellent writeup.

And then to top my week off, I got let go from my job today...no warning, no suspicion of any issues, nothing said to me about things to improve...so yeah, job hunt starts next week I guess...

Uhm, sorry to hear. Good luck on your next gig.

Something like that can't happen here in Germany. 3 to 6 months to the end of the quarter, except you are stealing something... Heard things are similar in the UK and other European countries.

@thwr said in [The World's fastest ISPs & Mobile Networks 2015 as per speedtest.net](/topic/9456/the-world-s-fastest-isps-Germany sucks here, that's not my point. Average here is like 6-16 MBit/s with ADSL2 or 25 MBit/s with cable

That doesn't suck!!! Average for wales is about 2MB/s!!! if that! we still have connections that can only do 800K-900K

For a robust and stateless network of sensors and actors, what is your preferred platform agnostic protocol of choice - and why?

This is just for discussion. I'm not looking for something specific myself but would like to hear your opinions.

Just had some Fish Pie for dinner. Now wondering what to do for the rest of my lunch hour (36mins left)

Fish Pie? Really? Don't know what's more disturbing: Eating fish or making a pie from fish

@DustinB3403 said in If you thought Skynet was just a story why is google building an AI kill switch:

@wirestyle22 It is from iRobot.

It's way older..."The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or Three Laws, also known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics

@RojoLoco maybe, but ML is a bit more unique IMHO compared to the average forum.

@coliver ~2 for me.

Same here. Campus has been dead quiet today.

Exams at our campus, students need to chill out. Bathrooms are full of puke.

I'm quite sure I don't want to use a translator for "puke"...

Of course you do! Nothing helps a Friday go by faster than learning yet another way to say fun things!

Thanks, I don't know how I could have survived for so long without knowing that word...

My wife hates this. I don't generally eat lunch during the work day. 80% of the time I just forget about it and work through it.

Same, and my wife hates it too.

I skipped the wife and it's turned out ok so far.

I am jealous of the dual income though.

I have a wife, and I'm still jealous of the dual income folks, lol.

Just doesn't always work as expected. Same situation here.

@Dashrender said in T-Mobile Service in Canada:

Yeah - I hadn't considered that most users in Europe would have already solved this problem because as you mention the likeliness of needing international contact is so much higher there.

That also explains why What's App adoption is SOO much higher in Europe than the US.

It's not just the international connections, it's the constant changing of SIMs so that no one has a steady phone number. Anyone who travels without T-Mobile, more or less, either goes without service or has to get a temporary number when travelling which breaks nearly everything. It's common in much of the world to flip SIMs constantly to get the best rates or coverage. In the Philippines they do this even on the islands all just to get better deals for different usage.

The SIM changing thing has effectively destroyed the usefulness of the traditional phone number and with it, phone calls and texting for regular contact in these areas.

Hasn't this been a problem for cell phones in Europe and places where people have to move between vendors/countries since the beginning? So really the nice thing now, you can easily move away from this problem with data and a hosted PBX solution (assuming you need voice), otherwise messaging through any number of apps solves that problem.

Sure you still have to deal with the hassle of the changing SIMs to get data at a good price, but the number part can go away.

It's not that much of a problem in the EU (remember: EU != Europe) anymore because we finally got free roaming within all member states.

Would love to. Can't find it right now, but I've posted a screenshot a few days ago. EN->DE translations of to puke. German is a wonderful language, we got like 20 different words and even more phrases for puking.

I think we should arrange a LassiCorp ML event, preferably in central Europe. Seriously, @scottalanmiller, what do you think about that?

Scribus is not bad at all. Crashed a few times when I made a A0 poster a few years ago and the UI was a bit weird compared to QuarkExpress, but it was doing a good job.

Thanks for mentioning.
