@nadnerb

This is not nearly enough information for anyone to help you.

What OS are you using?
Which set of installation instructions are you following?
What command is causing the error?

@jaredbusch nfs on top of ZFS.
ZFS should be the underlying block/fs for everything whether a single hard drive, block storage like iSCSi, file storage such as NFS or CIFS. I like TrueNAS for this purpose. As you can see, I love ZFS. My problem is I also love CentOS. Need to figure out easy ways to get ZFS on CentOS. We should all write a letter to Larry asking him to open up the license.

Most of us here do not subscribe to The Cult of ZFS. Yes, it has a place, but not nearly like it's made out to be.

@gjacobse said in ADUC Set Password Expiry:

It's likely we have all had to address this at some point in the last eighteen months or so; A person sent to work from home for whatever reason has just had their password expire. They don't expect to be back into the office for (x) number of days.

Why are they treated any different compared to any other user? You either need AD access or you don't. Working from home doesn't change that aspect.

If they work from home, authenticate to AD every day, then why can't they reset their password?

If they work from home and don't use AD for 90+ days, then why do they even have AD account at all?

Resetting a password remotely does not work automatically like it does on-site. The users have to manually do it themselves before the password expires. I'll give you one guess how many users even know how to change it manually

About to head out to the company's 25th anniversary celebration. Hopefully a bit better than just a longer than normal day.

@oksana StarWind, you missed putting a link to your products in that article. If you're going to pay for it, make it easy for people to find your stuff.

Oracle Cloud are offering 2 VM's for free, with just a card activation. The Instances are free. give it a try: https://www.oracle.com/uk/cloud/free/

That's a lot of useful things for free.

Agreed - the software I often want is not included - like a graphics editor.

Gimp doesn't count?

is it pre-installed?

Depends on the distro, but most desktop installations include it by default.

We are doing a big Thanksgiving down the road here in Nicaragua. An American expat and his GF are hosting a huge party. At least fifteen of us going. Going to be huge. Even getting a turkey.

Which is odd that everyone thinks that getting a turkey is going to be hard. When they are literally raised right in the village.

+ + =

Gun? that's to much work!

It's only a lot of work if you're a bad shot. My family bagged a wild turkey a few years back. Best bird we ever ate.

Edit: I didn't shoot it. I am not a good shot.

Well wild turkey is different - I was thinking raised turkeys, catch it, break it's neck.. etc..

Never done turkeys, but chickens are hella messy once the head is chopped off. Been years since I was around that.

I have an uncle that has worked most of his life cleaning at a chicken processing plant in the area..... not my idea of fun!

you used to be able to get those 'cassette' drives which were just disks in a casing that were used in a similar way to tapes. maybe there's something similar to that with a capacity of 1TB+ ?

Sure but... why? Tape is cheaper, faster, and more reliable.

The only part I might disagree with is cheaper. tapes are super expensive, though in the long run I suppose they could be cheaper.

LTO drives start at $2K and most single drive bays are more like $5K+... but I know those "drives as tapes" solution from the 2010's weren't cheap either...

Yes, the drives are a large one-time up-front expense. The media is generally cheaper than HDD of the same size, which is just one reason why tape is often the preferred medium for air gapped and/or offsite backups.

Boy they must have come down...I recall when LTO 2 (yea a long time ago) where stupid expensive!

LTO 2? Bah, young people will never know the joys of DLT.

Looking of the new site floor plan - not sure how I feel about how it's laid...

Core IT next to the bathroom and water fountains... The GAS Tanks are not 'fuel', it's medical GAS for Dental services....

At least they're not putting the server(s) inside the bathroom!

Hopefully they have good soundproofing.

These are pretty sweet. Thinking about getting one.

I'd like to hear some real world experiences with one before I go and grab one. One of the considerations I have is the Uni-Tasker mindset. It replaces a notebook/pad/sticky note, but what else can it do really? Is this feature set available via an iOS or Android product stream? If you spend for the 'better' accessories - are you not in the realm of an iPad Pro?

Of course - the screen visibility and battery life has a number of benefits.

While it acts like just a paper/pen situation, based on how well scanning works, the Phone app seems to play a big part for uploading/organizing the pages.

Maybe @travisdh1 can give us some of the pros and cons of the app.

Will check more on it later tonight. It seems the value depends on its reuse longevity.

This should be 'it's' own thread... definitely interested/ing.

Good thing ML has a Reviews Topic:

Fine, make me do it. https://mangolassi.it/topic/23665/rocketbook-core

Rocketbook makes what is essentially whiteboards in a paper notebook format. Most of the actual functionality comes from the Android/iOS application.

Functions just like a normal paper and pen notebook, but you can erase the pages using a slightly damp microfiber cloth and erasable pen.

Part of that application magic are the different icons along the lower part of the page. You set a destination in the application, mark the destination you want to send the page notes to, and when you "scan" the page it automatically sends the resulting output to that destination.

Scanning the pages is about what you'd expect, point the device camera at the page. It automatically snaps a picture, converts the output to PDF or PDF and OCR before sending it onto the final destination. I've only used PDF so far, haven't tried the OCR, but all my notes are quite clear and easy to read (for my handwriting at least). Also does a great job of cropping the scan to just it's page, even when it's sitting on top of other paper.

It's also so much lighter than carrying around a larger notebook of any sort.

May or may not save you money after a reasonable amount of time, depends on how many sticky notes/notebooks you normally go through.

Looks like they have a sale going currently that will save you $6.00 of the normal $40.00 price on the Core that I have. Note: I have no affiliation, so have no financial incentive.

@marcinozga said in Edgerouter X - Small Office:

I had 2 of ER-X, first one was bricked with 2.0 firmware update, 2nd I left at 1.9 if I remember correctly. The throughput numbers mentioned above just don't look right, this router will handle 1Gbit/s with some caveats. You need to enable hardware offload, and it kind of behaves like half-duplex. I constantly had download speeds exceeding 900Mbit/s, but if my upload spiked, download suffered.

That's what I've been saying. It's not till you start enabling features that can not be offloaded to the ASIC that you see the performance numbers I listed. The thing is, in almost all my deployed firewalls QoS is turned on, so I have to take the lower number into account instead of pure routing performance.

That could very easily be different depending on the situation.

@stuartjordan Maybe two users? But it's 100% about the connection speed. Even one user is too many in most any situation.

ERL 4 is the smallest I'd buy today because of the price point.

You've seen an issue with one user? other than that user using the whole ISP connection (which can always happen) - what issue?

The issue is throughput. Users are not a factor, at all, in any way. If a single user is on a faster connection than the device can handle, that single user gets throttled. If you have 10,000 users at a dial up connection, the ER-X won't be any kind of a problem.

Yeah, that's basically what I wanted to drive home.

If your 100 Mb/s or less, an ER-X will be fine... if you're over 100 Mb/s, I think Jared's test might have shown throttling at something like 150 Mb/s, perhaps closer to 200 Mb/s...

Therefore if you have a connection over 100, you should consider a different device.

ER-X up to ~80Mb/s if I remember correctly. The ER-PoE I have at home will do ~140Mb/s. ER-4 is what I recommend today to most businesses around here, but I haven't done or seen any testing to get an idea of what I/we could expect from them with QoS turned on.

Yeah, up to, with no features. And I believe that's COMBINED throughput, not one way.

If you leave them to just routing without any features like QoS turned on, they should all route at full line speed because they can use the built-in ASIC. Unless something has majorly changed in the past year or so.

It's exactly like writing on paper. I have the RocketBook Core, which is basically 15 whiteboards in a smallish spiral bound notebook.

I too prefer note taking on paper... and then have lots of tablets of paper in my office.

I see now that you haven't.

I have a Rocketbook notebook that I take notes in and then am able to digitize quickly. Works well for me at least. They do like their marketing buzwords. https://getrocketbook.com/pages/how-rocketbook-works

Do you buy their over priced paper?

Heck no. I just use the notebook and erase a project worth of notes when I run out of space. Just have to make sure I never loose that pen, it's expensive to replace.
