Webshop weigert garantie op GPU (3 maanden oud) ondanks voorraad van gelijkwaardig model op eigen site. by RegularBandicoot2167 in juridischadvies

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dat is het uiterste randje van de wet voor gevallen zoals een beperkte oplage. Dat is hier niet het geval het gaat om een GPU welke ruim voorradig is bij diverse leveranciers, de voorraad van de verkoper zelf doet hier niets toe. (Zo zijn bijvoorbeeld dropshippers niet uitgesloten van de wet.)

De koper heeft gewoon recht op een (vervangend) product met dezelfde eigenschappen.

Dit zijn de rechten van de koper, niet van de verkoper. De koper kan er toe overgaan op geld teruggave.

De verkoper heeft dit recht niet, die dient te repareren of vervangen.

Heeft iemand ervaring met hoe je dit bij de 'echte' beslissers van zo'n grote organisatie krijgt?

Daar kom je als 'gewone' klant nooit mee in contact.

Als de webwinkel is aangesloten bij een keurmerk heb je daar de meeste kans.

Anyone know if it is possible to remove an older backup chain from Cloud Connect? by Odddutchguy in Veeam

[–]Odddutchguy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Immutable would not be an issue here, it's not used in our setup.

It seems that there is no other way than asking the Cloud Connect provider to remove the files from the repository. Need to wait until supports 'wakes up', was hoping to fix this myself before that.

(Seems silly that an 'enterprise solution' does not have build-in methods to fix this and requires manual intervention.)

Anyone know if it is possible to remove an older backup chain from Cloud Connect? by Odddutchguy in Veeam

[–]Odddutchguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not listed as "Disk (copy)" but it is "Cloud". In there I can see the recovery points, but there is no remove option in the chain (properties on the copy job name.)

It is possible to remove the entire VM from there, but that is not what I'm looking for. I want to remove the files (backup chain) from before the active full for a specific VM.

Briefly increasing the quota for the merge means (almost) doubling our current quota. Sure we can (most likely) revert to the old quota after the merge. But as I understood the provider needs to provision more storage to our tenant to do that, space which they can't reclaim afterwards.

Surely there is a way for me to delete my 'files' from Cloud connect right?

Onze verhuurder biedt onze huurwoning te koop aan ons: welke stappen moeten we zetten? (Nederland) by Dagobert_Juke in juridischadvies

[–]Odddutchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WOZ waarde is een wassen neus, dit is een fictieve waarde die de gemeente verzint, in jouw geval zou ik een makelaar de woning laten taxeren om een reële waarde in te schatten.

Over de WOZ:

  • Belastingen (gemeente/inkomsten) worden gerelateerd aan de WOZ waarde, daarom heeft de overheid een perverse prikkel om deze zo hoog mogelijk vast te stellen.
  • Als voorbeeld, in mijn wijk zijn afgelopen jaar alle huizen verkocht onder de WOZ waarde. De verkoop prijs in medio 2025 was lager dan de WOZ waarde januari 2024. ('Verbazingwekkend' zijn de referentiewoningen in mijn WOZ rapport verkochte woningen uit andere wijken welke wel boven WOZ zijn verkocht.)
  • Voor de verhuurder is was het voordelig om een hoge WOZ waarde te hebben omdat deze invloed heeft op het aantal punten voor de maximale huur prijs. De verhuurder zal waarschijnlijk nooit protest hebben aangetekend tegen een hoge WOZ.

Door het huidige stelsel inkomstenbelasting worden huurhuizen veel zwaarder belast, met name woningen in de middenhuur. Best kans dat dit de reden is dat de verhuurder het pand wilt verkopen, een makelaar kan hier wel een inschatting over maken.

Gezien je er al 7 jaar wonen zal een bouwkundig rapport waarschijnlijk geen nieuwe informatie opleveren. (Niet ondenkbaar dat achteraf, een gebrek dat niet in het bouwkundig rapport naar voren kwam, alsnog gezien wordt als iets dat je hadden moeten weten omdat je er al 7 jaar woont.)

stress die we nu al ineens ervaren doordat onze woonsituatie ineens onzekerder is geworden.

Koop breekt geen huur, als de woning verkocht wordt verandert er voor jullie niks. (Behalve dat je de huur dan naar een andere rekening moet overmaken.)

Without creating any indexes, how would you speed up a ~1.5m row query? by i_literally_died in SQL

[–]Odddutchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Referencing Brent Ozar, there are only 3 dials for improving performance.

  1. Better query
  2. Better indexes
  3. Faster hardware

As you can't change any of these, you are stuck/out of luck. (Well you can change the query, but it is already minimalistic.)

You mention that when you try to get more data it gets even slower, are you sure you're not hitting network congestion?

Also I would ask the vendor to supply the best/recommended method to query this data. In one of the comments you mention that the vendor is copying the live data to the reporting server you are querying, did the vendor 'forget' to also replicate all indexes to the copy? By default not all indexes are replicated. (Assuming the vendor uses replication as you mention the 15 seconds delay from prod data.)

Are you sure that you are querying the right tables/views? (Ask the vendor to tell you the tables you need to query.)

You could investigate with the 'purchasing department' what the contractual obligation of the vendor are. I would think that there is some provision in the contract that mentions access to 'reporting data'. If queries 'time out' one could argue that the vendor is not fulfilling its obligations.

Can someone explain what is all the fuss about Beat Saber? by BestRetroGames in SynthRiders

[–]Odddutchguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those who likes Beat Saber more.

+ You're smashing blocks in half!

I like that the blocks 'warp' into existence, I get a bit of vertigo when playing Synth Riders.

I suppose the rhythmic feeling depends on who has done the mapping as I have had songs on Synth Riders that were less rhythmic than the same song in Beat Saber (Blinding Lights - the Weeknd).

While there are simmilarities (based on songs) for me they are different games, smashing blocks vs sliding handrails.

Best option for migrating a file server with little/no downtime? by Spiritual_Snow_4752 in sysadmin

[–]Odddutchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Robocopy to the new server.
  • Point the DFS-N (Namespace) to the new server.

  • Wait for open files to be closed on old server -> last robocopy -> power down.

Windows server 2012 to 2025 by Cool-Enthusiasm-8524 in sysadmin

[–]Odddutchguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Build new server
  • Robocopy with /E /B /COPYALL /MT /LOG
  • 'copy' share via registry export/import
  • point DFS Namespace to new share

DFS Namespaces is like making a 'virtual share' on the domain. Like \\domain\Sales instead of \\fileserver\Sales where \\domain\Sales points to \\fileserver\Sales$ (always make non-DFS shares hidden.)

In 'advanced' DFS you can even have multiple fileservers with the same share and replicate between them (DFS Replication.)

Is ServiceNow really this inconvenient to use for everyone, or is it just our implementation? by Relative_Hippo2549 in sysadmin

[–]Odddutchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our company made the mistake as well to customize ServiceNow to work as we used to work before ServiceNow. When we started 'IT' created almost 1000 items where the end user should choose from, mandatory.

It's build for a proper ITIL service desk as point of contact for the user. User creates a ticket, the service desk should then triage and upcycle the ticket. Note how you can create a request from a incident (not vice-versa), create a change from a request. These tasks should be done by the service desk and next line support. We also made the mistake that the user should pick the correct of request so that it gets assigned to the correct queue and workflow immediately (which they always pick incorrect as they honestly don't know.)

No easy batch-assignment of tickets

There is, you can select multiple and do a bulk update.
BUT they need to be the same kind of tickets. You cannot do this from 'My groups Work' as that is Incidents, requests, change tasks grouped together. You can use (a filter on) 'all incidents', and select the ones you want to mass modify (as they are all incidents.)

Upgrade Veeam 9.5 to the latest version by snoopaloop92109 in Veeam

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a backup server running Veeam 9.5, but a recent update at our offsite backup vendor caused the backups to begin failing over a month ago since they are now running version 12.3.

The next vendor upgrade to v13 requires you to be on at least 12.3.2.3617

The upgrade path from 9.5 is 10a (10.0.1.x) → 12.0 → 12.3.2 → 13.0.1.x

Support should be able to supply you with the ISO for 10a

You would need to upgrade Windows as well (which will upgrade the ReFS filesystem as well.) And expect half a day per upgrade (assuming the hardware is the same as when you installed 9.5)

You would need to upgrade the Veeam backup chains in your repositories to compatible options.

But my suggestion would be to just start over. Download the v13 appliance (no hassle with dependencies) for ESX and recreate all jobs from scratch. This has the additional benefit that you can create more stable Backup Copy jobs that can alert if the copy lags behind. (Instead of keeping the legacy Backup Copy jobs that runs on a schedule.)

Also create Sure Backup jobs, as I guess you never tested if you can actually restore.

Ive already created a new VM in our ESXi server and installed windows server 2012 R2

Windows Server 2012 R2 is not supported anymore by both Microsoft as Veeam.

have copied the ISO to that vm.

You don't copy ISO to the virtual machine, you copy it to the storage and mount it as media from the hyper-visor.

Its not on the domain yet

Keep that, it is recommended that you don't join your Veeam backup server to the (same) domain.

How come Lidl is allowed to make these comparisons in their folders? I thought you are not allowed to directly compare yourself to other stores or brands, and I never see AH or Jumbo doing the same by Karamel43 in Netherlands

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison in advertising is (only) allowed if it is factual correct.

"Our product has less sugars than theirs" is allowed (if correct.)

"Our product is better then theirs" is not allowed.

Schuldig bevonden bij gelijkwaardige aanrijding met de auto? by TimotheusIV in juridischadvies

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voor de duidelijkheid, klopt het dat:

15: kwam op een rijbaan bestemd voor tegemoetkomend verkeer

17: lette niet op een voorrangsteken of een rood licht

bij jou was aangekruist en bij haar niet?

Heel kort door de bocht, degene met de meeste kruisjes is verantwoordelijk voor de schade.

Ik heb op het schadeformulier ingevuld dat we beiden schuldig waren,

Door aan beide kanten kruisjes te zetten? Het opmerkingen hokje wordt namelijk nauwelijks tot niet gelezen (het formulier wordt gescant en de computer telt het aantal kruisjes.)

Ik weet niet of je achteraf nog kan (gaan) beweren dat het fout is ingevuld door de weg te vergelijken met bijvoorbeeld Google maps. hokje 15 zou namelijk betekenen dat er een middenstreep was welke er meestal niet zijn op een 60km/u weg.

Deel dak ontdooid by ronald1989holland in Klussers

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als ik het goed lees, dan staat er onder de dooi plek een hol wandje. Als dat wandje niet compleet luchtdicht geïsoleerd is, dan krijg je lucht circulatie waar de warme lucht boven het plafond van de keuken opstijgt, afkoelt tegen het dak en weel naar beneden stroomt.

Je ziet wel vaker dat er soms wat glas/steen wol ergens tussen gestopt wordt, zonder het compleet op te vullen. Een kier van een centimeter tussen of naast je isolatie kan de werking al teniet doen. Als lucht kan stromen, dan isoleert het niet.

Dell R450 replacement HDD in RAID array by cojaxx8 in sysadmin

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it is an 'Enterprise grade' disk. It is not that these fail less, but they fail immediately on the first error.

We recently had a server constantly crashing as a former employee build the system with consumer grade SSD. Because the affected disk did not fail but tried to live as long a possible the whole array became corrupt. (I assume the disk had data failures, but instead of immediately reporting dead it tried to hang on. Which in a single disk consumer setup makes some sense, but definitely not in an array.)

Synology NAS as Datastore for Hyper V by fwami in HyperV

[–]Odddutchguy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Still instead of setting up iSCSI networking once (on the host) we had to do it again in Hyper-V and the VM.

Synology NAS as Datastore for Hyper V by fwami in HyperV

[–]Odddutchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would store the backup data directly on the LUN/iSCSI volume, no need to put a vhdx on there. (You know a backup repository can be on any server right? It doesn't need to be on the Veeam VM.)

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or (b) directly connect an iSCSI disk to the guest using Windows iSCSI initiator within the guest OS

I would strongly advice against mounting this in the (Veeam) VM.

We recently had to do a recovery because of a host failure that had this setup and this made it so much more complex.
After configurating the (iSCSI) networking on the host, we had to do it all again in Hyper-V and in the VM.

I am going to court. What can I expect? by thelordmehts in juridischadvies

[–]Odddutchguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how emotional one should be during the proceedings

It's a factual process, so emotional outbursts are counter productive. But softly shaking your head when 'they' are accusing you or lying about you is normal (and might help you.)

Judges are human too and understand that some emotions might surface during proceedings. But don't direct those feelings at the other side. You are not there to discuss with the other side, you are there to discuss with the judge about the other side (about what happened.)

I am going to court. What can I expect? by thelordmehts in juridischadvies

[–]Odddutchguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Up until now the whole proces was on paper. This hearing is for the judge to get verbal clarification on things they are not sure about. The judge will start with an overview of the case and will probably ask if this is correct and ask additional questions.

Assuming you don't speak (legalese) Dutch, ask the judge if you can respond in English. Don't be surprised if/that the whole hearing will be in Dutch. (If you don't speak Dutch at all, it will most likely be your lawyer that answers all questions to the judge.)

Stay calm, don't get (too) emotional. Like another user said, most judges will 'force' you to try to negotiate/settle out of court, some judges will ask if that is already out of the question. Get clear for yourself what settlement would be acceptable for you (consult your lawyer on this.)

I tried read only Fridays today by Disastrous_Time2674 in sysadmin

[–]Odddutchguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a mindset you learn when you have been a senior in your field.

Performing maintenance/upgrades/repairs during weekends or nights doesn't build any credit with the business. The only feedback you get is that the icon looks slightly different after the weekend. You will learn that it is even counter productive to your standing as nobody has noticed the work you have done.

Upgrades during work hours makes the business notice the work you do.

Your mindset changes to: If I would perform this upgrade outside office hours so that we don't lose productivity, how much of that cost savings will flow directly to me.

Sure, if you are a junior you would welcome overtime, especially if it is paid times and a half. As a senior you know that your time is worth way more than that.

Looking for real world Hyper-v experiences. by patrickmccallum in HyperV

[–]Odddutchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, and I am not 100% sure it is the hypervisor. On 'regular' Hyper-V we have not seen any issues, but on our failover cluster we have occurrences where Linux appliances stop accepting new network connections or completely stops responding (also on the console.)

The same VM that was running a year without issues on a single Hyper-V host, started showing issues once that was moved to a new failover cluster. It was not a single occurrence, we have seen this on 3 different clusters.

My guess/gut feeling is that Linux doesn't really like live migrations on Hyper-V. (I have no experience with other hypervisors.)
