@Jstear And now David is deleting my replies.

Awesome, so I can't even approach the OP publicly to let them know that other conversations are going on.

David can eat a bag of *****

SW can't allow people to post links that steal their conversations to other forums.. they need to keep everyone there.

This always has to be done via PM. No matter what forum you are talking about they don't want things to leave the community.

I once had a post removed from Experts Exchange due to posting an answer and sourcing another forum, from where I found the resolution. They can do this, as it is in there Terms of Use of using the site.

I would expect at least some education in IT. We all (should have) learned about correct source citation. Stating an information's source is not only valid but important IMHO.

Sharks are cool and all. But I would really like a Bee week.

Would be good, it's an endangered species

I'm not... people still watch it.

The most dangerous mammal predator invented flowbee, likes chemical toilets and invented weapons able to sterilize the entire planet. Let them watch that show...

Human week is on the History channel. They generally talk about mass atrocities or crazy theories that this species actually believes.

I know. Basic market rules are easy, it's all about supply and demand

@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Leaving for lunch - I'm sure there will be 1000+ posts by the time I return.,

Just eat faster.

@Dashrender Reading isn't a problem at all. Have been reading probably hundreds of thousands of pages in English, like documentations, manuals, howto's etc during the last 20 years. I'm just not used to write in English.

@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

It was a joke

I know Just want to give you some time to catch up reading

@Dashrender Nah, looks good so far, not much blue left:

Kids, I've been offline for just ~45 minutes or so ...

That isn't allowed.

Uh, erm, sorry.

Now you're only 800 posts behind.

Behind whom? Reading today's posts? Or getting up in the list? Spamming isn't that easy

Yeah, but deleting the whole post? He could remove the links and post an answer, for example.

Yet I don't feel that we've bashed, we've discussed their topics, and how to address the issues / initially configure the issues.

This has been one of the exceptionally few things that bothers me about this forum. For my two cents I think we should keep the cross linking to a bare minimum and for interesting / news topics only. It does not "feel right" most of the time when I read about posts from there.

This community can be a little... predatory... on the folks less experienced in IT. Well intentioned, absolutely. But a little vicious to the unwary.

Well, this very community IS IT. Also, ML's NodeBB is a very fast paced system, that's another problem / feature.

To take up some cludges for @DustinB3403, it was not him alone. We're all shaking our heads about all the quiz questions, @Dashrender called it "beating a dead horse", just for example.

It's very fast paced and ruthless - which is I think some of this place's best qualities. Just need to be careful we don't "eat our young" as it were.

Very true. No doubt that the pace is the strength. But boy does it put pressure on new posters. Especially if they are used to a slow platform and have no idea that things are basically instant.

If you are used to communities where responses wait for emails to go out on a schedule, then people respond eventually... this place is SO different.

That's still a problem for me. Wrote my above post 3 times because I need to follow the discussion, translate, adapt the post... rinse and repeat. Final post was way shorter than initially planned. Like 1/10th of the length.

Good for improving English quickly! Feel free to post in German and slow us down.

Very true. Aber ihr wollt nicht wirklich, daß ich hier auf Deutsch schreibe. Ohne Google Translator versteht ihr sowieso kein Wort. Auf der anderen Seite, ich könne euch einen vom Pferd erzählen und würde immer noch Upvotes bekommen. Mh, mal drüber nachdenken

I can tell you one from his horse

@Aconboy said in The VSA is the Ugly Result of Legacy Vendor Lock-Out:

@thwr sure thing
the 1150 ships with a baseline of 8 broadwell cores per node with the E5-2620v4 upgradable to the e5-2640v4 with 10 cores per node. It ships with 64 GB RAM upgradable to 256 GB per node. It ships with either a 480 GB, 960 GB, or 1.92 TB eMLC ssd per node and 3 1,2, or 4 TB NL-SAS drives per node. Each node has quad gigabit or quad 10gig nics. All features and functionalities are included (HA, DR, multi-site replication, up to 5982 snapshots per-vm, auto tiering with HEAT staging and destaging and automatic prioritization of workload IO to name a few). All 1150 nodes can be joined with all other scale node families and generations both forward and back, so upgrade paths are not artificially limited.

Sounds good, what about deduplication / compression? For example, I've got a small 3 node Hyper-V cluster right now with roughly 15TB of (more or less hot) storage. 70% of the VMs are 2008R2 (will be upgraded to 2016 next year), rest is Linux and BSD.

@thwr @breffni-potter @travisdh1 - we have just released our 1150 platform which brings all features and functionalities with both flash and spinning disk in at a pricepoint under $30k USD for a complete 3 node cluster.

Could you give us some numbers? Like what's included in the 30k? Storage capacity, CPU cores, NICs, upgrade paths...

OMG, SSD babies. Take cover
