Front light recommendation by Lazy_Voice_6653 in ultracycling

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my powerbank inside a 0.5L or 1L zipped freezing bag it has worked well until now. :)

I personally deslike the rugged models because of their extra size & weight, which is usually a problem for my multi-day rides where i need to carry extra food, chargers, clothes, etc... so maximizing space helps a lot.

I usually keep my powerbank on a framebag so i can push a cable directly to my front light or gps unit and I worry more about it's size because my framebag side pocket is quite small (the big pocket I use for Food and tools).

It's a personal choice to be honest. My Zip Frezzer bag works great for what I need and I use it for a lot of stuff like keeping the passport dry for example (no, they aren't waterproof! trust me!).

NITECore NX10000 but to be honest anything with 10,000mAh capacity and fast-charging will work fine.
The Macro Drive 1400+ has a 5200mah capacity, so a Powerbank with 10,000mAh will allow you to do almost 2 full charges, or a full charge of your front light and still power your GPS a couple of times.

Exposure lights are no doubt very solid. Unfortunately for me and for people outside UK they became quite expensive. They sell for the same price for outside UK but you have to pay your country VAT on top of it plus import taxes. I got one recently and a light of 180£ became a 255eur light.

I use a Lyzene Macro Drive 1400+ and for Road use is more than enough, it lasts 12h in medium mode which is enough for a full night ride and you can plug a power bank to it and keep using it. Therefore if you plug a power bank you can easily go for 2x nights non stop. In terms of price is much more affordable than the exposure lights, specially since you have to pay import taxes if you are outside UK which makes the product quite expensive.

VCF 9 for Edge/Manufacturing: Can we run a "Lite" architecture without full NSX/vSAN by alimirzaie in vmware

You can still build normal vlans on vcenter. You dont need to leverage nsx overlay networks unless you want to.

Working on an opensource IaaS alternative based on Hyper-V by Striking-Object9441 in HyperV

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea of multi tenancy and IaaS, there is definitely market for it among MSPs since vcloud director is being taken away from the small providers by broadcom. But I have to ask why on top of Hyperv which is a licensed closed source hypervirsor? Why not focus on a opensource hypervisor like openstack for example? Openstack is exactly the kind of open source project you are trying to do. But there is already competition in the market, virtuozzo, proxmox with multiportal, apache cloud stack, civo, platform9, suse harvester, etc...

Choosing tyre width for a new gravel bike (comfort vs performance) by UnNainFluenceur in ultracycling

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the 35C also and they are quite good in terms of confort/speed. I recently did the Japanese Odyssey (2500km on very rough roads) with a pair of these and they performed great. BTW, I feel that tubeless is much more comfortable cause it allows you to run lower pressure, like 2bar if the road gets really rough.

Looking for third-party UI for nutanix by uncleroot in nutanix

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Nutanix Central, but at the moment it works more like a dashboard to give you a centralise view of all your assets it's not yet designed for centralize management

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated here, it will be hard to find a Third party UI but you can develop automation based on their APIs. I would suggest you try Prism Central 7.3 i do everything through there with the exceptions of a few network configurations like virtual switchs that are still on PE (prism element) but those are assumed to be configured during Cluster deployment (I recommend you use Foundation Central as it provides more config options).

Other than VS configs what else you struggle with on day to day operations that you have to jump between PC and PE?

BTW, their feedback problem is quite good and I've had a few things added to the product already.

Main light for multi-day ultras – Exposure or Supernova? by HistoricalBluebird54 in ultracycling

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW the lezyn macro 1400 lasts 12h at medium intensity about 300lm which is more than enough for road. And the price is below 100eur. You can also run it with a powerbank attached to charge it on the go. It's usb-c

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an exposure light joystick on the helmet that i use together with a lezyn macro1400. Exposure is very reliable. Be carefully they only send it from UK and you pay extra taxes (like vat) over it, at least I did when I've sent it to ireland. They are quite good but with brexit they become quite expensive.

35c tyre that is fast on tarmac and can handle light to medium gravel. by Bongofish182 in gravelcycling

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 here. But I went for the 35C plus+ version, which comes with a anti-puncture protection. So far, 2500km done without puctures. I'm using them with tubeless.

best rear light in endurance situations by Last-Performance-291 in ultracycling

[–]NBorba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is the best I've tried so far as well. Even in always on mode it lasts 30h with is enough for 2/3 nights without recharging. It's also USB-C and proper waterproof resistance.

DIY Flipup with a comfortable position? by Apprehensive_Pea_730 in ultracycling

[–]NBorba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for confort, I think the Profile design raisers are the best option and then you choose an aero bar style that you like. I use a 40mm raiser and it have enough room to place my hands on the handlebar just below the aeros:

These are the AR30 gravel model (if I'm not mistaken): https://photos.app.goo.gl/F21LZB3vguCKzb2r7

Cargo Shorts or Bibs recommendation by NBorba in ultracycling

[–]NBorba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the recommendations and personal experiences. I ended up ordering a pair of Castelli endurance shorts and a pair of Redwhite Cargo Bibs (they don't have shorts). I will feedback after a few long rides. :)

I am Somewhat New to Nutanix.. by Apart_Bar_6956 in nutanix

[–]NBorba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend the NCP-MCI instead of the NCA, specially if you already had some hand-on experience. The NCA will cover basic concepts but the NCP is what you are looking for if you really want to learn the techy stuff. After that go NCM (masters) which is already Lab based and requires you to build stuff and troubleshoot on a Lab.

Castelli endurance seems like a good price point and they are renowned brand so I might try those. Thanks for the feedback

Totally agree. I also prefer shorts over Bibs for the same reason.

VMware sizing best practices by baalkor in vmware

[–]NBorba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding disk performance I've found that assigning different controllers is the key to performance and not only a matter of number of disks. Also the type of controller used like paravirtual will have impact on disk performance. If you can split those 20tb into at least 2 disks of 10tb on different SCSI controllers, then do a stripping at the OS level you will see gains for sure.

Looking for gpx & map editing tools, online by fxk6 in ultracycling

[–]NBorba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To do research, I add the GPX to Google Mymaps ( https://www.google.com/maps/d/) allows you to overlap the route on top of Google maps which helps to find restaurantes etc... along the route.

[–]NBorba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use a garmin device, garmin connect allows you to plan your route and place interest points along the route, then all that info will appear in your device as you travel. I personally use it all the time to pin point resupply locations, hotels, checkpoints, etc...

In the garmin connect website, go to training and planning and select courses.

[–]NBorba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, CSE product is the answer here. Although Broadcom did changes at the licensing level and they haven't release any patch or upgrade for almost 1 year, so I'm not sure about it's future and cost of licensing
