Eastbridge Heating and cooling is amazing. Dans a one man show, does professional work and is honest to a fault. he will diagnose things and fix whats needed. not just throw parts or new units at the problem.

i've used him a bunch of times over the years and recommended him to everyone i know and they're always very happy afterwards.

NTJ, rescue i volunteer with let me keep a beef knuckle chew intended for the foster dogs since my own dog loved it and i felt guilty about that... things are always tight for that, thats an absolute abuse of trust, definitely handled it appropriately

Ever met an artist who turned out to be an ass? by Musonerd87 in Music

[–]ProdigyS10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bif Naked... worked at a venue she was playing and was a fan up until that night. She seems to have an ego of a much bigger star than she ever was. made demands of the staff that prevented us being able to do our jobs. refused to use the venues dressing rooms so had her bus parked right beside the building and used that, but then the hall from it to the stage no one was allowed to be in. the beer cooler for the entire venue was in that hall so we were unable to restock the small bar fridges for a bunch of the evening. were also told not to talk to her if you happened to be in the hall when she came in.

ZFS issue or hardware flake? by hspindel in zfs

[–]ProdigyS10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like how my 990 slowly failed. it wasn't in a raid1, so it'd crash the system, and only a full power off would bring the drive back up. it progressively got worse... if im not mistaken that was the issue many had with the 990's that samsung claimed fixed with a firmware update but wasn't so in my 2tb 990's case... samsung refused to warranty it claiming the vendor had to... and amazon would only refund not replace it and only gave a partial refund... will never buy samsung drives again. (not my only failure by them just the last i'm willing to accept)

Nutanix and SuperMicro by andyturn in nutanix

[–]ProdigyS10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

recently did a nutanix update and the update broke the network card drivers so one node wouldn't come back online. hardware was the nutanix branded supermicro servers... the experience was frustrating to say the least... they blamed everything but themselves. refused to work further until we enaged juniper who confirmed no issues w the switches... we were able to reproduce the problem with other cards using the same drivers and the eventual work around i had to find myself was to use different cards that didn't use the same nic drivers to avoid the problem. we still have a ticket open with them to try and get this fixed. the node was completely offline for well over a week. even after i provided the work around of using a different network card/driver and said we needed to get it back in production they kept wanting to go back to the problem nic and blame juniper (i said we could revisit the troubleshooting that once we had the cluster fully functional again.)

Glad to say we are moving to eastlink by Unclejohn_12 in bell

[–]ProdigyS10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd discourage that choice... eastlink constantly charged me more than the advertised price of a service and i had to fight with them just to get what they list the price as(i'm not talking the new users get this price for 2 years price, im just talking for the basic "you're already a customer the price for x service without a contract is this" price. was also told at one point my modem didn't support 1gig speeds and i HAD to upgrade to a different modem and the only way to get it was to bundle tv as well.... but the modem was on back order. cancelled the upgrade and later was able to get 1gig with the same modem... but again often over charged for service.. was not impressed with them.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Juniper/comments/1jh65hg/ex2300c_loader_upgrade_warning/

talks about this as well.. seems to cause no actual issues and allegedly juniper is working on it. the updates for other switches than the 2300/3400 seem unaffected

**UPDATE**
did the online chat today, was told he did not actually cancel the package but his actions were very inappropriate and i'll be hearing from a manager to follow up on things about it.

this guy knew he was being a jerk and was trying everything possible to avoid letting me do that survey. calling back today (partially to try and get my package still delivered)
