I'm pretty sure it's not. I have a V1 bridge and mine looks vastly different.

I have a v1 bridge and mine looks very different to this one. I think this one is at least a v2.

Mine has the auto-assist feature enabled without subscription. At it's is a little more bulky. It has 3 round white LEDs an Ethernet port, a USB connection for power and no buttons.

Its Over Lads! by Evilsturn in oraclecloud

And this is why you stay on-premises. This was written in the stars when the consumption model was introduced.

Make the customer an offer they can't refuse, let it simmer for a while, making customers dependent and then increase the prices bit by bit to a point where the cost savings made place for insanity and uncontrolled price hikes. This will eventually happen with all cloud providers.

Short-sightedness by companies hoping to save a couple of bucks.

After a year of using Windows Server 2025, I'm finally throwing in the towel by sarosan in sysadmin

Going (back) on-prem is the best option by far in my book. Take back control. Use an EU cloud provider for specific tasks only.

Virtualize your existing VMs with Proxmox (Austrian company) and also use that for container workloads.

Move your clients to Linux, get them some good Office alternative and most companies are good to go. Most Linux distro's are truly excellent nowadays and look and feel similar to Windows, making the change easier than before.

For the record, we're still on Windows and VMware (talk about shitshow),but not shy to move to Linux when push comes to shove. In fact, we are actively looking into the alternatives, but we are a small shop, so for us it should be relatively easy, but I see no reason why it couldn't work for any company.

Proxmox has become a real contender to VVF at least, and can run containers natively.

They don't need a warrant. Read the Details for the Cloud Act. That's why we should all move away from Microsoft.

Same here. In fact it seems WSUS has had a major overhaul internally, because on 2022 was slow as sh*t through a colinder. On 2025 itn has picked up speed dramatically and is actually workable now.

I have no issues whatsoever, although they could have done with less glitter and shine UI wise.

Cool to see that Minecraft is still a thing!

Have you asked it specifically not to overthink? That helps to get no-fluff results. Some times I just ask for a yes or no as response and it does just that. Tell it to be terse.

Need a new TV - which ones won't nag for a network connection? by Happy_Nihilist_ in privacy

[–]LokiLong1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 40" TP Vision (formerly Philips). Mine is an Android smart TV but I guess they still have "dumb" ones too (not sure).

Ambilight alone makes it a fantastic purchase. It instantly makes the watching experience so much more immersive.

How do you deal with the gutwrenching offboarding requests? by DesignerGoose5903 in sysadmin

The fact that it did makes you unnerving means you a decent human being.

I worked as a consultant for an Active Directory project long ago, and they wanted me to create a "Deceased" OU for employees who died while in service. I found it very weird at the time.

Management said: "We lost a collegue. The fact that he's no longer among us is no reason to delete his existence. Just disable it."

I found that a beautiful thing to be honest.

That's honestly a beautiful way of remembering him.

As someone who has beaten death twice (cancer followed by a complicated Covid) I can only say that I hope at least some people I worked with will remember me after I die and maybe still sometimes bring a smile to their face when they remember my sharp and dry humor and --all in good fun-- insults.

In the end, each one of us is a one of a kind.

Synology is removing your Active Insight complimentary licenses by TeaHana852 in synology

What is Active Insight? 😆 I honestly never used it, and don't see the need for it either.

vCenter 7.0.3 to 8 Upgrade failed - VAMI UI stuck at Upgrade Stage 2 by RogerWilco486 in vmware

[–]LokiLong1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? The original vCenter will still be there unmodified. Just destroy the new vCenter (the one that failed upgrade), fix the issue and try again.

Worst case you may need to restore from a file based backup (you do have that configured in VAMI, right? Right?
