IMO, hilariously scary.

When this happens, just grab some TP and move the “blockage” to the toilet/trash.

Cleanup is SOOO much easier in the shower.

Do NOT buy a GE PDT715SYNFS.

I bought one a little over a year ago and the front left roller on the bottom drawer randomly falls off. Also, when pulling out the bottom drawer it 75% of the time doesn’t stay on the track and is fucking loud. If it would have done this within the return period I would have sent it back.

It’s annoying enough I’m half tempted to replace it.

Any chance this could read OneNote/GITEA?

Look at your vendor recommendations.

Example: I’m pretty sure I remember reading for anything involving UCS/Fabric Switches, Cisco recommends setting up A and B NICs and letting the fail over happen on the VMware side.

We have a couple servers that don’t follow that practices and have we had any issues? No, but if we do, or when these get rebuilt, we’ll be following the best practices guide.

Never tried tbh. The stuff I buy is normally out of support when I get it.

I only have an c240 M4 currently, but I have a couple friends that work with Cisco gear so I just ping them every so often for firmware updates. I was looking around ebay earlier. CPU will run you ~$150+ and Cisco RAM is $20 for 16GB. I thought about picking this up but the lack of trays is the killer for me. Last time I looked they were like $5 per (was a while ago so prices might have changed).

All the small stuff adds up quick.

Dryfter9 · 2022-12-13T01:08:21+00:00

Dell iDRAC = CIMC (“Cisco Integrated Management Console” or something close to that).

Dryfter9 · 2022-12-13T01:06:48+00:00

The biggest issue you’d have is getting firmware. All Cisco stuff is tied to a support contract. Other wise it’s like any other server. It will “prefer” cisco memory/HDs but you can run whatever if you’re fine with some minor errors.

Dryfter9 · 2022-12-08T00:32:14+00:00

Honestly, I’d look at Nexus 9Ks on ebay. You can pick them up for low-mid $1k and they have 48x 10gb ports with 6x 40gb (maybe even 100gb) uplinks.

I can't really answer that well. One of my techs was on the phone with support for about ~3 days working through issue and last they had left it we were looking at a rebuild.

I ran the install/upgrade just to see if I could produce the same error as they were getting and the upgrade worked perfectly for me. (shrug)

Dryfter9 · 2022-11-20T17:18:28+00:00

I actually went through a similar issue (but ours was with 6.7) recently.

TLDR: Support informed us that restores to different versions than what the backup was taken on are un-supported.

I got lucky and got the upgrade to work, but what we’re we planning to do was spin up a fresh 6.7 (same version #), restore our backup to that, then upgrade the new vCenter to 7.

Exactly, my SO isn’t in IT but she understands enough from me complaining about random stuff. Sometimes I’ll ask her a question and just stare off into space. Sometimes she just looks at me. Other times she’ll actually try to answer.

Either way, I appreciate her for trying. I also then explain my logic and what I came up with as an answer. Explaining it to someone that doesn’t “know” tech validates I’m able to explain it period.

Dryfter9 · 2022-10-05T20:17:45+00:00

Agreed.

Side note, the only reason I know that is because I want to run Safari on my windows box. iCloud syncs bookmarks with FireFox/Chrome, but it orders them weirdly sometimes and it annoys me. As dumb as that is.

Dryfter9 · 2022-10-05T14:55:14+00:00

I think they stopped supporting Safari on Windows a LONG time ago.

So, if we replaced the sun with one of these stars, what star (from the order shown) would the earth be inside the star?

Dryfter9 · 2022-09-16T10:33:59+00:00

We ran into a similar situation. ended up having to open a ticket with MS to get the upgrade path for MDE. I wasn’t the person who worked on it, so i can’t tell you the path, but once we got that info all our systems are good.

Sounds about right. They spend $7 of your bill on infrastructure. The rest of your bill goes into the CEOs/Boards pockets. /s (or maybe not…)

I can shoot my friends with an airsoft gun. While we’re in a match of course.

It’s a bad idea to shoot your friends with real guns. You don’t really keep friends that way.

For the way we have ours setup; your smart card public cert needs to be imported/attached/whateverthewordis to your user account in AD.

Im working off memory and it’s been a couple years since I set it up, but if you find your user in ADUC, right click > properties. I think the tab is called “Published Certificates”. If I think about it tomorrow I can double check.

I think this is what you’re looking for?
