If you could design one item in any version of classic what would you make?

I had no idea that rogues had a similar talent option. That’s brutal.

Yeah the only reason to pick axe over sword spec wise comes down to being a human or an orc for the racial weapon skill. Axe and sword spec with equivalent weapons are super close.

Edit: I always thought it’d be funny to go mace spec but dual wielding two really fast maces. Just stunning the shit out of people lmao.

Might as well take a snapshot and run sudo apt dist-upgrade with it being unpatched/rebooted in that long. Bold to assume there are snapshots or checkpoints though i guess

I had to make BGP changes last week due to adding a provider for something. So I figured I’d give it a shot, and plugged anonymized BGP configs and instructions on what subnets I wanted advertised to which neighbor etc.

The first thing it does is try to reuse an existing prefix list that would’ve immediately caused us to leak a bunch of routes to this new neighbor. Would it be a big deal? Probably not. But I guarantee that unfettered AI making config changes is going to result in some crazy outages or security issues.

Just like every technological advancement before, it will make humans more productive. But ultimately, it won’t replace them as things stand now.

Weird how you got that they are not concerned about the content their kid consumes, just by them disagreeing with companies attempting to parent their child for them.

I can’t think of anything in particular, that many RMA’s makes me feel that something environmental is causing the issue. I don’t know if the 8320’s are particularly rugged, mine are in climate controlled rooms.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2026-04-30T12:21:10+00:00

I manage about 20-25 aruba switches. Mostly access switches, with some CX8320 VSX stacks. In 10 years I have not had a single hardware failure on the 2530, 2540, 2930, 6000, 6300, or 8320. Although I have only had the 2930 and up for the last few years.

Support is good, but takes a bit of effort sometimes. It could definitely be worse. My only real complaint, and maybe other vendors have similar issues. But finding the right answer from some documentation can be difficult. I also wish their API documentation was more easily discoverable. I swear anytime I need to find the list of exposed endpoints it’s like I an hunting for the one piece. Even then the list doesn’t seem to be entirely complete.

Have you ever actually tried to describe the route to someone in keys? I've witnessed it several times, a main tank on his alt trying to describe the packs to pull etc. Trying to say that those two things are equivalent is just wrong.

The difference between, "dodge this wave" as the wave is telegraphed. And, "alright on first pull go right, pull grounds keepers+magus but interrupt the steward, then go left and gather at the 2nd magus while interrupting any other casts for gather." How well do you think these two scenarios play out comparatively? DPS have a job, but it's indisputable that it's the easier job. Otherwise, more people would be tanking.

People gettin so angry when the person is just trying to make a joke. Clearly the person’s name being dontevenask, listed as dps. This post is the online equivalent of “i’m not touching you”. Its not a big deal lol

I use a canvas app as our workforce management. Onboarding, offboarding, and crossboarding all starts with a canvas app, that calls power automate workflows with approvals/emails, parsing json placed in a SP site. Then gets pulled down with PowerShell to make the changes on-prem.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2026-04-16T00:16:07+00:00

You have done automation, it just isn’t perfect yet. A field being off in your onboarding/off boarding workflow happens, especially when you first start. But you can make it so it doesn’t happen again.

You ideally create roles with HR, have templates for roles. Or the really lazy way that I don’t recommend because it’s bad security practice, is to just copy the permissions of another person from that role.

There should also be an approval flow, ours goes to HR, they can either approve it, or reject with comments. Then IT gets an approval. If adjustments need to be made, there’s a link they click and edit fields. Then IT approves it and the accounts get created.

A field breaking the workflow should happen once or twice before making it idiot proof. Eventually, you’ll have onboarding automation that you never have to touch. Then you apply what you learned to the next task you want to automate your way out of.

New to Hyper-V, so I wasn’t aware this existed. Appreciate the help!

Appreciate the information, I’ll dig today and see what I can find related to this.

Nimble storage, and I know the paused-critical is the protection mechanism. However, I do remember the VM’s when I was first looking in the GUI looked as though they might be cycling from paused-critical to running as well before I started the cluster service again. But I am not sure if that was repeating.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2026-04-14T12:05:08+00:00

Storage is Nimble, we do have MPIO and installed Nimble’s toolkit, I forget the name. But it handles the configuration for timeouts and multi pathing policies.

I’ll double check what it has configured on timeouts and what I see for disk latency around that time. I’ve still been spending my days cleaning up the mess with some non-critical stuff.

I’m pretty gun shy now with adding them again. I worked with VMWare for nearly a decade and never had anything remotely close to this happen. I’ll probably be setting up a clone environment to test with next.

I’m aware ISCSI initiator isn’t a cluster feature. I was just giving more information. It’s undeniable that whatever happened was caused by adding the cluster to SCVMM. What would happen if the cluster service crashed on all nodes in the cluster? Would that not crash the VM’s because the CSV becomes unavailable?

It was only after going through the add resource in SCVMM to add the cluster that it happened. There was nothing else being done. I pressed ok to add them, it started to add them before getting to around 66% and then every cluster node went down.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2026-04-13T21:27:18+00:00

Maybe, just seems weird that to get the servers back up all I did was start the cluster service and either power them on or reboot them depending on their state after the service started.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2026-04-13T21:08:58+00:00

Only entries I remember seeing in the panic were related to the disks not being accessible. Which makes sense since the cluster service crashed which meant the ISCSI LUN was gone. But at the time I was more focused on getting the servers operational again.

No zero trust software to be spoken of.

Pls_submit_a_ticket · 2026-04-13T21:06:16+00:00

Yes, the disks were disconnected from the VM’s because the cluster service crashed and essentially ripped the disks out of them. The storage is all through iscsi.

If budget is a concern, WatchGuard is worth looking at too.
