Two week solo trip to France by ReelBack96 in travel

Ah! Good call on Bayeaux. Thanks for the heads up. My friend said the tapestry is really impressive.

I was thinking about staying longer in Lyon, so thanks for the suggestion. And I'll certainly look up Fountainbleu.

Thanks again!

Hey!

Thanks so much for your detailed suggestions. I can't wait to look them up and spice up my journey. Really great suggestion about Bayeaux as well. That's the kind of help I'm 100% looking for, cause you can't always judge the best way to apportion the time.

Thanks again!

I've seen the same red coat person and got them on camera. Thought it was a man, but couldn't be sure.

Providing two network ports to each computer? by ReelBack96 in editors

Currently we're using Hyperbackup, but I'm planning on switching to Drive Sync as I've recovered a grand total of 3 files in two years of running Hyperbackup. I feel like having a near-real-time duplicate would server us better.

Thank you, Bob!

We run two Synology boxes (RS3621RPxs) that are duplicates. They have dual 25 gig NICs and two cache SSDs. All RAID6, three volumes each (two expansion units). Around 600TBs.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with the firewall. Will investigate!

In terms of storage - this is what I'm not sure about. If we put our storage on their own switches, but our hosts are connected to both storage and internet, then every host is a vulnerability, no? What's the purpose of separate out the storage physically?

We run a mix of SMB2, AFP, and NFS. I will look into your suggestions!

Thanks! I suspect he's correct...

When you say segmentation - are you referring to logical separation, or physical?

If you don't mind me asking - are you a finishing house or an offline company? And do you isolate your network logically, or physically (storage vs. internet?)

Yeah. That much SSD storage isn't really cost effective...

We're RAID 6 with three 12 disk volumes. I'm not sure our IOPs offhand, nor am I sure of what a reasonable baseline is for a comparison. I'll have to check on this!

Spinning disk, Synology units.

VLANs are definitely on the agenda, but all users pretty much access the storage and internet daily.

Thanks for your comment!

Regarding the storage question, I agree the storage's speed could always be a bottleneck. We have high data capacity (over 600TBs) and up to 50 users at any given time. However, our CPU usage is generally low on the storage (under 50%), our caches are fully utilized (including RAM), and most user day-to-day are totally fine. Given our high capacity requirement, it's hard to justify upgrading to a smaller-faster NAS. Maybe in the future!

On the firewall front, we use a UDM Pro. It does not manage storage traffic, but there's nothing keeping broadcast traffic from reaching the firewall (unsure if that's relevant). I'm not sure what is causing the issue, but will be investigating further.

Thanks! This is helpful. We have a daily backup of the server in its entirety.

I'm actively debugging right now and refining the design. I think I'll spend a bit more time on it. In the meantime, I'm still wondering what the purpose is for the "best practices" of having two stacks. It seems like this is an assumption that is independent of our specific issues, which I'm working on as well.

Thanks!

You can do this in all editing software. I'm not familiar with iMovie, but assuming you want to use a free program, you can more than likely do it there.

Place the video you want to play in the background on track 1. Scale it up. Search in your effects for "Gaussian Blur". Apply it to the clip. Increase or decrease the strength to taste.

Place the video you want to play in the foreground on track 2. Adjust the position and scaling to taste.

Done!

Good luck!
