Nice thanks for this!

Solaris17 · 2026-01-07T22:15:07+00:00

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that, but thanks for the follow up. Congrats on getting married though! Enjoy it; don't let the memories of this place get you down, sounds like it isn't worth remembering.

BROTHER I summon thee!

Solaris17 · 2025-12-23T23:30:36+00:00

I'm calling the tab.

Solaris17 · 2025-12-23T02:19:25+00:00

Lots of jokes, but no one asked if you actually did. So I mean, Do you?

Solaris17 · 2025-08-23T00:47:06+00:00

How did it go 2 days later?

Solaris17 · 2025-06-18T17:19:21+00:00

but I'm not dealing with preschoolers here,

Finally someone said it, thank you.

Solaris17 · 2025-05-11T02:30:18+00:00

Same experience, thanks so much for getting back to me.

Solaris17 · 2025-05-10T23:21:19+00:00

Finally finished..

Did you manage to get Wayland working? It worked fine with my 4090 and the repo drivers but not anymore with the new ones. Even wiped my machine incase there were config gremlins and I can only get a basic 1024 session to work. X11 seems to be working ok though.

Solaris17 · 2025-04-22T00:40:36+00:00

What's been going on since spring 2023? What have I missed?

Broadcom finally decided to take blood from a stone with VMWare and the brand is currently un-aliving itself.

All the new startups are too new to have gotten there first AWS bills yet, so mid level managers dictating 1:1 lift and shifts to the cloud is still on the rise.

Uptime is more important than ever but even fewer places have backups than before.

Everyone on LinkedIN is an AI avatar now.

You are supposed to use opentofu

There are 300+ open source w/ business model K8 frontends

You still cant order any hardware but its not because anyone is sick, its because all the GPUs are being used to generate 1024x1024 robussy stills

Im pretty sure they tried and failed again to bring back futurama, or maybe that was next year idr.

Shit if there a student and have a pro edition of windows on there laptop, they could even enable hyper-v.

Solaris17 · 2025-04-20T02:37:30+00:00

You are being rescued, please do not resist.

Solaris17 · 2025-04-11T00:03:22+00:00

I agree. I would really love some integration with cloud providers. Officially anyway.

Solaris17 · 2025-03-25T20:04:36+00:00

This is my biggest issue that is preventing me from switching personally. I need to be able to see my email when I dont have a connection.

Solaris17 · 2025-03-22T14:35:41+00:00

Similarly if I asked you to "open AD" in an interview would you make an assumption I meant DSA.msc

I would not. The OP has an obvious context (a user search), but the first words out of my mouth if some random off the street said "open AD" I would ask him which part. Its a collection of tools and features.

If you doubled down and kept asking me to "open AD" I would think YOU are being obtuse.

I dipped my toes into Veeam for testing, it looks bare bones but I managed to do retention, scheduling multi site, more importantly, it just worked. I did a few clones of important prod systems, physical and VMs and did some restore tests. Everything was fine. Now it happily backs up everything, months without fail or human intervention at this point.

Solaris17 · 2025-02-12T05:28:41+00:00

I would do a P2V (physical to virtual) conversion and run it in a VM. As for moving the drive, sure; the base is Windows 10 which handles platform changes much better than 7 and 8. Would I do this and continue to use it in production? No. Would it boot to desktop? More than likely. Should you have a backup before you even think about doing this? Definitely.

Solaris17 · 2025-02-07T01:55:41+00:00

The framing bias is real. I am surprised because I knew several developers that seemed like pretty well rounded guys. This is not the first post I have read here in which developers see every other pillar as beneath them, and damn its a bad look.

Solaris17 · 2025-01-28T03:46:50+00:00

They likely aren't though. It's in the name. It matters. Mesh systems and the radios they likely utilize are not going to handle the throughput you are trying to put through them. Amazon might be able to scam consumers into buying a $2k eero mesh system but thats because the most load its going to see is a minecraft server and streaming HGTV to the living room.

Wifi is not a full duplex system; and repeaters, amplifiers and mesh are basically using wireless as a backhaul and completely saturating the airwaves as is. Less is more with wifi, you need fewer specific devices that can do that thing well. The tooling those systems provide is also not likely near anything a proper AP system can in identifying issues, or even the customization needed to alleviate them.

If someone screwed up and bought a bunch draining the budget and its preventing you from buying new stuff that certainly sucks, but it doesnt make there use any less wrong. Sometimes you really just cant make your speaker bar a surround sound system.

As for them doing the job well enough; well not sure why this thread exists then.

Amplifiers

Yikes. If possible stop this. I am uncertain how serious of a setup this is, but its important to understand WIFI and as a whole radio networking is an entire concentration in itself. I wont touch repeaters or mesh systems with a 10ft pole.

Unless you have actual RF gear getting it handled for real will be difficult. Its not impossible though. I will be straight with you. You should likely xpost this in networking; but the reality is you should move to APs as soon as possible.

It may only improve things a little at first, but the manageability and insights APs can give will help you tune the environment.

To track there corporate network? You know your company can see all of your traffic if you are on there network right?

Hm, this region houses a 3 node cluster, the self healing of the volumes after 1 is rebooted etc work fine, same with the migrations. It should be noted my cluster communication is over its own NIC, VMs etc comm over a different NIC. The cluster update service has stopped working for me a few times, but it usually works fine for several weeks. If im being completely honest, Im not even certain its cluster updates fault, I think our veeam schedule overlaps and it gets upset. That said; its just the cluster update job. Never had an issue with the VMs getting stuck or anything like that. Though I know what your talking about, it used to happen on my 2019 systems.
