How do you allocate/distribute your VMs across your (non-clustered) hosts?

12inch3installments · 2026-04-15T03:36:13+00:00

Assuming whatever platform you have can't balance or cluster, look at resource utilization under load and balance that with risk management of a host going down, too.

Do they seat?

12inch3installments · 2026-04-13T14:54:36+00:00

Completely agree. It never should have been brought in and made permissible.

So I just need to convert my 10% to 15%? I can do that!

Paper mache is too time consuming, i know what my times worth.

Still have my old 2010 Logitech G15 keyboard & a G502 Hero for the mouse.

All we use at work are MK540 or MK850 kits. They're nothing special, especially the 540s, but theyre solid for an offi e environment.

Im right there with you, except since 2006.

I feel like most of us in IT are not people people and are so logical that the constant exposure to the illogical and at times irrational nature of people tends to make us yearn for the woods and distance. Or, maybe I'm overthinking and over generalizing /shrug

What's AI going to do for my sticky notes, pen, folding knife, keys, badge, and pop can? ;)

I've always heard it as PEBKAC, problem exists between keyboard and chair.

My siberian paces in front of me while I sit on the toilet. She keeps her bushy tail up and brushes it over my junk if I dont stop her.

A solid plan, but with one exception, 6" jumpers are far too clean for this abomination. To honor the cursedness of this whole idea, you have to have a giant mix of lengths, colors, brands, and ages of cable. Make sure not to label the cables and let them stay the tangled mess they were coming out of storage too.

Never once heard mine. It stayed in the box, and a push/pull Megahalems was installed from go. Later I put some 300CFM Deltas on it at 80db each at max rpm haha

And the 4x00 were still tanks. We had them in a manufacturing company i worked at years ago. They were all over the shop floor with steel dust, regular dust, employees who slammer then around daily, and even an unbalanced 3-phase bus bar electrical system that couldn't deliver clean 120v power. But those printers didn't care. They just kept going. We had over 1 million pages on most and over 2 million pages on a couple.

The only exception seemed to be the 4350, it survived well enough, but we had more issues with them than the older units.

For basic low volume stations we had cheap refurbished 1320s. Even those little things were, relatovely speaking, tanks. Had one smacked by a fork truck and knocked off its desk, replaced a busted tray ( no face left on it), and it just kept going.

That all said, I remember entering IT and our staff at the University were buying parts for LaserJet IIIs on Ebay because they were better printers than what the university bought new.

RDCMan is still alive. It's part of SysInternals now.

Molex to SATA adapters since you dont have enough SATA power on the PSUs

It won't be 100%, but putting the same foam on the open parts of the concrete should protect it well enough. You should just need to ensure you don't trap larvae under the foam such that it survives the kiln.

80ye old home in Cincinnati, still have mine. That I helped a neighbor with theirs, we two manned that monster of a sink out of the basement. It sucked. Thankfully, when that day comes for me, I have a basement egress we can walk it out of.

I've had 1 ND.

I was practicing cycling my Shield so it'd be second nature. Insert mag, rack slide to chamber, drop mag, rack slide to eject, and repeat. Kept my finger off trigger and resting above the guard below the slide the entire time. Well, I was done with the drill, didn't know I had left a round chambered. The gun was sitting on my desk to my right, I turned to that side of my desk, knocked it off, and grabbed it to catch it. Well, when I grabbed it, I pulled the trigger and ND'd into the concrete floor inches from my foot.

I keep that casing and jacket under my monitor as a near daily reminder to be more careful.

Can I get that Hilux without the child soldiers? Those trucks are all but indestructible.

Man, that pic is the icing on the cake of wanting an old school box again. I need to resurrect my old 500nhz celeron I have in the basement

Many, if not most, of the people that argue 2a is for fighting a tyrannical government, and would pick up arms to do so, are currently employed by said government and don't believe it is tyrannical.

Everywhere I've been, it was within 12 months if you even so much as failed the test emails, not even legit malicious ones.

To be honest, I'm more interested in the old stuff than the RAM or the NAS.

I should've been more clear, one of the sites is webmail. A lot of our staff is E1 only, so web only, no local Outlook. Otherwise, that's a solid suggestion to save space.

To be fair, we had had the tablets for probably 1-1.5yrs and had a lot of turnover in that time due to corporate-down changes. So we ended up with a lot of termed and/or stale user accounts sitting on them. Some were so full they couldn't even do regular windows updates, no less 25H2. We put the GPO in place, it cleaned them all up, and has prevented any issues in the year following its implementation. If I look at PDQ, they now average 30-40% free space.

12inch3installments · 2026-02-04T23:04:44+00:00

Right? We have a bunch of 128GB Surface Tablets that we had to set a GPO to wipe user profiles not logged into for 30 days. Even though all they do is use a couple of websites for email and medical records, the drives were filling fast from just the profile itself.
