I caught myself typing ip a in powershell trying to find the ip address. lol

ha - did the same yesterday

How much I love zsync. Wrote a client for our gaming community last year. Unlike rsync, there's no direct server connection beyond HTTP required.

Just synced 18.6 GB worth of updated files, took me three minutes and 20 seconds with 100 MBit downstream. Mostly disk-I/O.

Why in the world does Nextcloud have a games category for apps?

Solitaire and Reversi both came with Windows 3.0. Oh, and Minesweeper - I guess it was around Windows 3.1, maybe earlier. Remember "3D Pinball" which came with Windows 95? And I had to uninstall Minecraft and Microsoft Solitaire Collection last week from a fresh Windows 10 install.

I don't know what may be the purpose, they are probably just there to keep us admins on track

Riped out another bazillion of old cables. Hope that my new switches will arrive soon, still waiting for nearly a dozen UBNT EdgeSwitches, an ER Infinity and more stuff.

Make sure to take before and after pictures.

Hehe, I have lots of pictures and will probably create a thread for this later.

The vendor told me today that they will ship tomorrow via UPS. Shouldn't take long, they are just 300km away.

OK, thanks guys. Was just looking for a second opinion

Yes, for free. Our DC is going to replace it and they usually give "old" hardware to attached research institutes when there's enough on-site knowledge.

Hey, they're giving it to someone who actually knows the proper use for a SAN. I wonder if they run an inverted pyramid of doom?

No, they don't, as far as I know.

I tried to get to the post but apparently it is no longer there.

I so wish this thread were still open, sounds like a hell of a read. That other place is so out of control with their moderation. Craziness.

It was the most ridiculous virtualization thread ever.

Why do I have to think about that printer developer guru while reading this. You know, the guy who programmed printers. Funny read

We have a community guideline that it's not allowed (but generally if I miss it for a day or so I let it stand) Shit and Bitch I allow unless you are calling someone specific that

I'm so glad that my English is so bad, I've never understood MLs guidelines. And IF I swear from time to time, it's most probably a translation typo. I guess

Nice, I want to get into 3D printing train stuff.

It's not like that you buy a printer and "just print". You need to consider many details, learn about materials, construction and mechanics. But it's a lot of fun too.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

And you need models But I think for model trains it would be especially cool.

Explaining to @Tech1 that Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is different than Spaceballs

Spaceballs: Comb the desert
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy: Marvin

PS: Better read the books.

Dunno what spaceballs and hitchhikers guide are, but i heard the names.

Two of the most important movies in history. Followed by other masterpieces like Army of Darkness, Kelly’s Heroes, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist or Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

Hitchhikers was a terrible movie, but an incredible book.

Aye. But maybe the movie makes more people reading the books. That's why the movie is somehow "good".

We should really not ruin the movies for @tech1, lol.

We can switch to Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Can offer lip sync speaking in two languages

Visiting my wife

Is she not well?

Actually... nope. Hospital. Nothing life threatening, but a big PITA we have to live with.
