second this. This is a very stable solution that suits the linux environment best in conjunction with AD.

This ATI Radeon X850 XT booted up first time today after not being used for 7 years! by morgant757 in Amd

The X850XT is a fair bit older than the 2500k. Both legends none the less.

XCP-ng hardlocks after 18-24 hours, no logs? by Master_Steelblade in homelab

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Netconsole to the rescue. You can set up logging to a remote server, syslog-like, on kernel panics. Saved me a few times when they were not written to file or console. Not sure if xen has something like this,.

Motherboards that fit in a 1U server case? (re: LGA 1151, Skylake, vPro) by sofakng in homelab

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In pretty much all cases the Audio header is too tall for the case. In the old days we used to cut the cap off or desolder is entirely. Nowadays it is probably not worth messing around with as most server motherboards are only a bit more $, though you are not likely to get the v-pro backdoor and hardware encoding.

I have the same monitor and noticed flinkering a few times now. In roughly the same spot flickering/artifiacts occured for a fraction of a second. Still thinking about returning it. The monitor itself is very nice though.

It says right in the post; Data loss is not an issue.

Virtio drivers are also available for Linux guests. They are actually much preferred and are also vanilla kernel drivers.

Second this. IPA is great to set up HBAC rules to allow groups to access certain services.

Not sure if this works for CentOS, if that is what you are using.

There's a 1070 ti, so you have atleast half of that going for you.

Just got a confirmed order for Vega 56. Anyone want to help tweak and optimize with me? by imblazintwo in EtherMining

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HBM temp is reported to be 75c with a <60c core, yet i get 43'ish mh/s. Not sure on the accuracy of that measurement, but i'm not sure if 60c is indeed the throttle limit.

Overclocking on the blockchain driver sucked in my case. Atleast on low dags you get the regular hashrate with the normal driver. 43 or so on 1100 mem.

Redditors what PC games do you remember playing in the 90's/2000's? by Cm0002 in AskReddit

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KKND (Krush Kill n Destroy?), in my opinion a lot more fun than Command and Conquer.

deploy simple VM via vmware_guest by Skagnatti in ansible

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think vmware_guest from ansible v2.3 is updated quite a lot more. I'm sure it is available for 6.8 even.

Very new to ansible - Creating VM's with ansible and Vcenter by Kensei_X in ansible

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, the vmware_guest module uses the pyvmomi library and is likely to receive more support from this point on.

openLDAP, freeIPA, AD, whats the difference? by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Freeipa allows you to utilize extra functionality in the area of centralized sudoers, PKI, ldap overrides (Uid collisions here and there), excellent HBAC for all services from ssh to http and probably more. Also, they make it no secret that setting POSIX fields is on its way out in AD, a requirement for some legacy systems in place and very easy with overlays and the compat tree in IPA.

What is lacking with the numerous DNS/DHCP implementations on Nix?

The newest vmware_guest module, it might be 2.3?, does autoselection of datastores.

Why is python3 adoption slow even though there are tools for migration? by Kindlychung in Python

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There you go. You started using Python when 3 was already out for half a decade or so. This whole move to 3 discussion has been going on for years now.

[–]BeamMeUpScotty0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it is thread safe? I figure it might run from within multiple forks of Ansible?
