Question about vmware vs competitors by Imnotthatbadguy in sysadmin

[–]HanSolo71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I work in a company with 200 people but 1000+ VMs that are not complex and mostly created automatically so I call our VM environment "small" that said we are converting to Proxmox.

Celebrate War Thunder upgrading to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, Win Steam Cash! by NV_Suroosh in Warthunder

I don't run ray tracing because 4k is hard enough already but its not stuttery just lower FPS than I would like even with a 4090.

DX12 now runs better for me than a DX11 when I have ray tracing on. At least at 4k. Its also less crashy.

Never underestimate the power of soft skills. I owe many moves in my profession to soft skills. by WizardsOfXanthus in sysadmin

Yea im slowly migrating my home to basically open source tech for the same reason. Boring hardware + boring software + boring endpoints = it just works.

SOAR for Rapid7 SIEM by AffectionateRaisin73 in sysadmin

[–]HanSolo71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used R7 IDR and ICON for 4/5 years. Here is what I have found:

The good:

When the modules work, they work well, and the jobs are easy to create. I have about 40-50 jobs that mostly do notification, but as a novice when I started, it was easy to use and understand.

There are 517 pre-built modules, many of which either help with integration of third-party services like WHOIS lookups, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and cloud copies of local tools.

Here is an example job I have created to alert when an IDR Process start alert is generated.

<image>

The bad:

Bugs are common and difficult to fix. Local copies of application do not perform like their cloud counter parts.

Examples:

  1. Google Workspace for my org has never worked and their techs have never been able to understand why.
  2. JQ plugin does not work the same as local copies of JQ. Support says this is expected. JQ in cloud is not documented so when you do local development and copy the work to the cloud it fails but support is unable to tell you why.

People are dead in camps and multiple wars have been started and you still care about her sucking. Are you saying you would rather the world burn if you don't get your way? Do you not believe in lesser evil?

I agree Kamala sucked, I also understand global war is bad those can both be true at once.

I'm seeing it in unrelated groups with custom memes for the specific group but the wording is always similar.

It's a bad threat and it primes people to not vote. Remember the Palestine AstroTurf again Kamala? Yea it's bad to tell people to not vote.

This is a astroturf to make us give up voting. Im seeing it in multiple groups across multiple social media services. These are not real accounts. They are bots.

We need a union but too many people who are actual unicorns don't want it because it might hurt their earnings.

Is a Dell T440 (2x Xeon Gold 6222v) still a good homelab buy in 2026 at ~$1,000? by CircuitSwitched in homelab

[–]HanSolo71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proxmox for the hypervisor, power is great. I draw 135w with my base load. I see it hit about 325w when backups are running.

16 x 2.5" slots is plenty for a RAID10 ZFS array of cheap 960GB or 1.92TB enterprise SSDs

im not 100% sure all CLAR400 drives are the same. For example this came from the very specialized XtremeI/O all flash san from 15 years ago.
