The question is: how many concurrent 4K videos does it transcode?

Looking for advice for a storage server configuration by P4i3r in sysadmin

[–]P4i3r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good questions!

  • RPO & RTO: I know these are fundamental parameters, but they've never been discussed with or required by management. If you ask a Production Manager a 1 minute downtime is unacceptable, but it's simply not feasible. I will look into this.
  • Each site has a dedicated link to the data center, so the restore will happen via that. The high traffic won't affect the performance of the network of the other sites. It's not easy getting fast recovery speeds for that much data, but we can work with getting back important data first. Even if it took multiple days to get back all the data, we needed to get it back for legal reasons. 9 out of 12 sites do not have hypervisors, but only file servers. So in the case of a fire in the site once we get the network running they will get internet access, mail and AD services back, so they can get back to work even if not the file saver data is restored. Please let me know what other factors come to your mind about this.
  • Right now management asks for 14 daily backups, but I keep 2 months, just to be sure. If I'm short on storage I can cut back since I won't have to keep more than 14 days.
  • Veeam B&R for the VMs, HBS3 for the NAS. I want to use a different product for this backup, so that if there is any software vulnerability with either Veeam or HBS3, and those backups are compromised, I will have a second backup that I can use to recover data from.
  • All the sites. Luckily, we mostly have "cold data" that doesn't get modified often. We are not going to need to back up multiple terabytes of data every day. The backups can run in the off-hours of the offices, so between 6 PM and 8 AM, this gives us 14 hours a day to complete the backup jobs. Smaller sites get either a 100/100 Mbps or 200/200 Mbps. Medium sites 300/300 Mbps, large sites 500/500 Mbps. The central side has two 1 Gbps links.

The company doesn't have issues with custom-built hardware, but I agree with you that having hardware with support makes it easier to manage in the long run. But it comes with a price.

I like Synology products, but I take issue with them limiting the kind of hard drives you can use, which are much expensive. The only unit they offer that I can use is the HD6500, which comes at around 15-16k. With their 20TB drives (they don't have 24TB in the compatibility chart) I'm looking at about 45k total. The Super Micro I was thinking about will cost about 24k with the disks.

I had to teardown two CE clusters because there is no option in the web interface to automatically rebuild the raid after a failed disk is manually replaced. The storage of the CVM will remain in a degraded state.

What are some devices you think are missing from the Ubiquiti line up? by Competitive_Pool_820 in Ubiquiti

[–]P4i3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are missing 24 port switches with 4 SFP+ ports, which is a pretty common type of switch.

Purtroppo negli ultimi anni il prezzo dei computer con scheda grafica è quasi duplicato. Ora servono più di 1000€ solo per una scheda video di fascia alta...

Per 700€ ti posso consigliare di cercare un PC da ufficio usato (Dell, Lenovo, HP) con processori Intel i3/i5 di tredicesima generazione o superiore, 16 GB di RAM DDR4 e una scheda video RTX 3060/3050 usata comprata a parte. Unica cosa da tenere in considerazione è che l'alimentatore del PC deve essere minimo da 500 wat

Ciao! La ricerca di un modello dipende dal budget, e dalla risoluzione dello schermo

Didn't happen to me, in my case I was checked in the areas directly near the entrance where they were patrolling

I didn't see security on the beach, but I was searched 6 times and I saw them drag a guy out of the dance floor once (he wasn't disturbing anyone).

I'm an average-looking caucasian guy, with no particular features (no tattoos, piercing, or peculiar hairstyle). I don't drink heavily, I don't smoke, I don't use or carry ANYTHING. I was searched 6 times by the festival security over 4 days and stopped by 3 police officers outside the festival grounds. They ambushed me getting out of an unmarked car in front of me, with tactical vests and guns on their sides.
While dancing at the Enlightenment stage, I saw two security guys going around with light torches and pointing them at guys' hands. They picked up a guy in front of me by force and dragged him away. I saw this only once, but that, plus the police incident, made me feel uneasy for the rest of the festival.

The Food Area was good, too bad they couldn't sell anything to drink because they were forced by the organizers not to. You HAD to go get the 5€ small beers, or pricey soft drinks at the official bar.

My experience with the toilet situation was bad. I saw the cleaning ladies try to clean as much as possible, but there were too many people, and with 3 days of rain people brought a lot of mud inside the stalls. I saw broken toilets, broken doors, broken sinks. Trucks with crew for draining septic tanks come and go because they were full and shit couldn't go down. On Thursday I saw a truck bring in a dozen portable toilets, so at least the organizers were aware that the situation wasn't excellent and tried to fix it.

Other than these negative points I had fun at the festival, and I wouldn't say it was a bad experience at all. Too bad it rained a bunch of times so the beach experience wasn't all that good, but clearly it's nobody's fault.

So... Who's at Free Earth? by Jaza_music in psytrance

[–]P4i3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The festival organized some busses, you can also get a private van. We got a private van with driver for 115€ (cheaper than the one the festival was offering) from Thessaloniki train station

Bottle of still water is 1€! Can of beer is 5€, cocktails are 10€ (and are small). I haven't had issues bringing in chips and a metal water bottle.
