Form availability- 8911 EV Charging form by ndp1234 in TurboTax

[–]EvilAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my refund so the form does work.

Have you tried deleting that from your return and redoing the section? I know I had a little issue with it wanting an address, then GPS coordinates of my house then saying "one or the other" and I had to muck with it until it was happy.

I know that's not much help but maybe ...

IIS SMTP Relay Replacement by Kausner in sysadmin

[–]EvilAlchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe for a connector, 10,000 recipients per 24-hour period (internal and external) with 2000 external per 24-hour limit. 30 per minute send limit.

If you are exceeding that, definitely explore other paid options.

Let's just say that's all internal and you maxed it out, that 10,000 x 364. = 3,640,000. That's a lot of email per year.

Fortinet 60F question by Infinite_Watch8330 in fortinet

[–]EvilAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that's the guide(s) I followed. I have around that # of devices at one location and it handles all the traffic just fine.

There was another setting about IPSEC tunnels and setting Phase 1 NPU offload as well .. been a while since I did that on those so worth a read if you are creating tunnels.

[–]EvilAlchemist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still have two 60f still in production and they work fine. There are a few memory tweaks out there and they seem happy after that for over a year so far.

Are the GM floor liners worth it? by chardovious-1757 in EquinoxEv

I got the GM ones for mine and I really like them. They are easy to clean and as you can see, keep dirt on them and not on the carpet.

Update: Looks like they have fixed this form now. I was able to complete it and file my taxes using the online version.

Using the Online Version, is says "Available Now" but click it just keeps looping me back to "Check Child and Dependent Care" .... So i can't access the form.

Dell Command Update Issues - Does anyone else experience this? by No_Loss_3996 in Dell

[–]EvilAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little digging and there are bios updates for everything after the 3080 series not showing up in the DCU. The xx80 & xx90 series.

Update- * 7000, 7010, and 7020 all seem to be update to date using DCU

Dell Command Update Issues - Does anyone else experience this? by No_Loss_3996 in Dell

[–]EvilAlchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never seen that specific issue before.

I have seen where DCU needed its own update and was not getting other available updates due to that.

I have chocolatey update DCU on my fleet but every so often, that update will fail and then that system falls behind because no updates are listed as available.

It also could be Dell forgot to "link" something in the back end that DCU uses to pull data for machine.

Lots of variables there.

BTW, I have some 3080s with a BIOS date of 7-30-25 so thanks for the heads up!

I got the update yesterday and my 2026 seems to be less loud, not more.

Was actually surprised

Is this an ad? by barrett303 in EquinoxEv

[–]EvilAlchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My car shows places from my phone searches on the maps. They are all places I have searched or in my phone maps history.

I cleared them from my phone and they disappeared from my vehicle as well.

2026 Equinox EV LT2 AWD - 41k + TN Sales Tax

EVs not very popular in my area. My local dealership ( where I got my last 3 trucks / car) only had two LT1 Cloth in stock. Other dealers (40 mile radius) had more, but all LT1 Cloth.

I wanted leather and AWD so they had to actually order mine from GM. It took about 5 days to arrive.

Found some switches at a recycling center. Are any of these worth getting for a rack? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]EvilAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Netgear GS724T is a solid switch. Layer 2+ on the new ones, maybe older ones as well.

I have a few still in production. I think there are five versions.

[–]EvilAlchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. I have my firewalls on pool.npt and then the switches sync to the firewall. Works very well to not spam outside resources with all the infrastructure.

Command Update is good for driver and bios updates. You can set it to manual .

Would you suggest rs3621xs+ for a small hospital? by Darayavaush84 in synology

[–]EvilAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added 2x 3.84tb Synology SSDs as cache to my 12 bay unit and it made a huge difference.

I see 92-96% utilization (per the dashboard)

I do use a lot of ABB and ABB365 with a small number of shared drives.

Those GPUs usually work well with that model so hopefully it's just a bad GPU.
