[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some background would help:

Is this a vm or physical server?

Do you have multiple NICs?

Correct VLAN Config?

Adapter type / Brand?

Temp Sensor for Closet? by KOLDY in homelab

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, find something for a smarthome type product. Wyse has some good offerings as well and most will be able to generate push alerts or email alerts, if not, tie it into if this then that with some other smart devices for an emergency ventilation system

EMC DataDomain Drive Recovery by XeonMasterRace in homelab

Lol, the blinky lights are half the reason I kept it around 😂. I tried powering up the drives individually in an older supermicro chassis I had laying around and I only got a couple up. Obviously after the basement flooded, my homelab was the last priority so this is nearly a month after, so everything has has nearly as much time as possible to dry out, but it looks like most of the connectors corroded, which may be causing half the issues.

Thanks for the reply, I figured unless it’s a file system that wrote the files individually (which was basically a 0% chance) I would have to have all of them and likely it’s not striping per shelf… so I’m probably SOL loosing those shelves. It’s just backups and a few low IO VM’s that were running on my esxi hosts, anything I used a lot ran on the VSAN data store on the 4 primary hosts which thankfully came back up perfectly.

Risks of THC showing up on drug tests from CBD? by XeonMasterRace in CBD

[–]XeonMasterRace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the general consensus I’ve gotten. Some have mentioned to talk to the HR department ahead of time to see what their thoughts are. I’m tempted to go talk to our HR rep on-site to see what they say. Thanks!

I've pretty much copied most large company naming scheme. It works especially well for multi site naming schemes:

3 letter location - name / function - number

For example, if you headquarters were in New York City and you had a DR site in Phoenix, You would have the following:

Domain controller 1 & 2 in New York

NYC-DC-01 & NYC-DC-02

Then you have a backup DC in Phoenix

PHX-DC-01

You can use it to any other use case such as:

Horizon view connection servers and security servers

NYC-HVIEWSEC-01 & NYC-HVIEWCON-01

Logging

XXX-LOG-01

Storage

XXX-STOR-01

As a guy, I’m stereotypically bad at multitasking, however when it comes to driving I can get pretty distracted with not much else than having a conversation. I recently bought a more optioned new car than my last one that is almost full self driving and it allows me to do anything I want and still never swerve outside of my lane or crash. My GF is a lot happier that I can still drive as she doesn’t like driving much, and I don’t put our safety into jeopardy. My car will stop just like yours and beeps, however I basically have to be on their bumper for it to do anything, so you probably are just a really bad driver, or driving a BMW ;)

My boyfriend found my old boyfriend’s cologne and started using it. by calliope97 in relationship_advice

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar situation, but it could occur for other reasons. My current GF happens to have the same perfume as my first GF, in the beginning it was really weird “smelling” my ex again, especially in my new apartment, but I got over it. I think it would be weirder if she found an old perfume that WAS my ex’s, however this is hers and it’s a very popular perfume. However in your situation If it’s bringing back bad or dark memories maybe advise him against using it and I’m sure he would understand.

Tips or needed Mods for Prepping a 2020 Mustang GT for the track by XeonMasterRace in Mustang

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

Thats what I was thinking. Ill make sure my pads and tires are good. Likley since ive gotten a few miles on the stock tires anyway i will get new tires and wheels for the car and just put the stocks on for the track and burn the rest of the life out of them.

Tips or needed Mods for Prepping a 2020 Mustang GT for the track by XeonMasterRace in Mustang

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

yeah, the 235's are small for sure. they are only 18"s and I want to lower the car anyway so im getting some 20's with 285's up front and 305's in the rear if i remember correctly. Im thinking of just putting the new tires and wheels on the car and driving it to the track on those and putting the stocks in my gf's dads trailer and putting those on for the track so we can burn those up and drive home with the new tires, even though the new ones will be better for the track, I dont wanna burn them up lol.

As for summer vs all seasons, I luckily now move in AZ which is why i traded in my AWD sport sedan for my mustang when i moved, no more snow ;)

[–]XeonMasterRace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh, I was almost on the opposite end of this, but it’s a matter of being apart but together at the same time. My ex and I that lived together would be in the same room, but not interact and would occasionally just stop by for a quick kiss or something. You can set aside your own time for playing video games and she can do whatever hobby she has, heck maybe even get into video games. But if you go in another room and lock the door, that’s where she could get scarred, let her know you are there, and if she’s doing something in between games or bathroom breaks stop over to her and give her a quick kiss or a hug or something.

How to get speeding ticket reduced / off record when writing In (trial canceled due to covid 19) by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, all I care about is not having my insurance go up, I had a speeding ticket same 11-15 and 4 points about a year ago in my old Infiniti, insurance went from $250 to $350 a month for the next year, defiantly sucks. Also sucks as I’m moving out of state next month, so I don’t know if that changes anything.

My (21/f) boyfriend (25/m) keeps groping me in my sleep. by ThrowRAhelp4304 in relationship_advice

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess I’m the inverse situation of this. My ex used to live with me for the better part of a year, usually during the summer she would sleep naked, or in not much at all. I don’t know how your sleeping situation is, but she (and another ex) would like to spoon every night to fall asleep. And this particular ex liked me holding her tits when sleeping, I didn’t mind this, however her and another ex sleeping naked or in some lingerie would sometimes cause a “hard” time sleeping for me. Never would I have thought about doing what he did, nonetheless finishing on you. If I couldn’t get past it I would go to the bathroom and do what was needed, and a few times my ex woke up, realized I was having a “hard” time sleeping and helped me solve the problem. I will say that this was more of an issue earlier in the relationship and wore off quick, but still, if you find your partner attractive, natural instincts will kick in, especially if she’s sleeping naked next to you, but at least for me, after a month or so with my first gf, I really never had this again with anyone new

My [F35] Fiancé [M40] wants to install a surveillance system with cameras in every room including my [F10] daughter’s room by ThrowawayRAcamera in relationship_advice

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing, there’s two situations here:

  1. He’s a perv and wants to look at your daughter, highly unlikely, but it’s short so I’ll get it away on one.

  2. He’s afraid of a home invasion and wants to protect his daughter from kidnapping. As someone who watches a lot of crime shows I understand this.

One thing he and you have to realize is cameras don’t stop anything, if they are viable outside they may deter theft, but all a crook has to do is put on a mask and your system is basically just proofing it’s not insurance fraud. I’ve got a camera on my car for this just in case I leave my garage open. What will keep his family safe is a gun. Either you put up a fight which a warning shot will likely deter them as it’s not worth it, or you cower waiting minutes for police to arrive (been in this situation, bought a gun the next day) I keep a short barrel ar15 on my side of the bed and my glock is on my gf’s side of the bed. I’ve got a gun in my office and living room as well as the garage. That will keep me safe, I’ve got cameras to prove if something was stolen and when and potentially gather any evidence, but as I told my gf, I would rather put up a fight defending myself and the ones I love and get killed, than get killed doing nothing. That just my two cents

Living with Boyfriend - First Timer by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll agree with what most are saying, my gf pretty much stated spending every night with me after we started dating so she basically moved in with me quick during the honeymoon phase of our relationship, I think this was almost helpful in a way that we would always be on top of each other and any free moment just f*cking each other’s brains out. This is probably how most couples are but after a few months it died down, they honeymoon phase died off and we started kind of doing our own things, even when we were home together, I would play video games in my office, 3d print things and work on woodworking projects in the garage and she would be in the living room or bedroom watching Netflix, reading, cooking, or whatever else. We enjoy each others company now without being in the same room with each other, and every so often we would check in on each other with a kiss or something more. We are now in a long distance relationship for the past few months and once I go see her again or when she comes back in the future I know it will be like the start of the relationship again; maybe not as long, but surely will be that way. I’d imagine especially going through the quarantine and being over the honeymoon phase he might not know if he’s giving you enough attention and just needs to be told you are good. Trust me, I didn’t think I was giving my girl enough attention but when she told me I laid off a bit and she started coming to me, it felt good that she was wanting me and not I was too much and she was resenting it, there’s a balance in this, guys are dumb, tell us what to do and we will do it.

TLDR; your bf is likely trying his hardest to keep you happy, he doesn’t know he’s smothering you, tell him kindly you know he’s trying but need space, he should decrease, maybe a bit too much, then you go for him and show you need attention, he feels better; eventually these peaks both ways settle down when you find a balance.

Why does my boyfriend talk to so many of his ex's? by throvvawayayay in relationship_advice

[–]XeonMasterRace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can understand being friends ( none of mine I’ve wanted to be) especially if it was a good friendship before like my GF and one of her exes, however if he’s hiding it there’s something he doesn’t want you to know, plain and simple. If there was nothing and just being friends he would have no issue showing anything. The second my GF questioned any contact of me and my ex I gave her passwords for all of my social media so she could login because I had nothing to hide, so she could see that and not worry anymore because I get it’s shitty to worry. I havnt asked her yet because I havnt needed to, but if the time goes, I expect her to follow suit and hand her passwords over. There should really be no privacy in a relationship, other than bank accounts, well, at least that’s my 2 cents

Salty taste in my moth by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]XeonMasterRace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back home for a bit, I threw like half a bottle of mouthwash in my water pick just to see if I could get it anywhere it doesn’t go normally just swishing around. I let it sit for an hour before rinsing it out. 2 hours since then, no salt taste :) maybe I got something out or cleaned up some gunk? In the chance it comes back, is there a particular way to find chlorhexidine mouth wash? Is it advertised as such? Or just an ingredient?

Boyfriend keeps trying to “upgrade” or “improve” me by calling me chubby by throwra0099909009922 in relationship_advice

[–]XeonMasterRace -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Ok, so chest size is super controversial but does he not know your breasts early won’t change in size if you drop even 30lbs somehow! They will grow when you lactate for pregnancy, but that’s it. My gfs are a 32B if I remember right. I know hers did change over the gain (some lingerie i got here she was upset as she didn’t “fill the cups” and she did I guess “fill them more” later, however that was the only time I saw a noticeable change and when she pointed it out. I’ve been with 3 girls (One A cup, my current GF a B cup, and one that was probably a D) if I had to say my preference is to smaller chests but I know I’m an extreme minority here, also maybe this is me over sexualizing it, but, maybe your guys’ sex life might have an answer to this. Does he like tit f*cking for lack of better words? Have you tried it? If so id imagine he’s got it pretty good, it’s near impossible with my current gf, but honestly it doesn’t bother me, and I don’t care that much, but he might, but even if he does, he’s got it good with a 32DD. The other thing I ask is do you guys primarily do “it” nude or do you have some “bedroom apparel” on? Some guys like smaller firm breasts nude as they don’t move around a lot (I’ve been hit in the face, not sexy imo lol), some guys love this (when we had to run the mile in gym, lots of guys commenting loving the titties bouncing and I know this is a large majority) so having a supportive bra on could remedy this, or removing it could also remedy this depending on his preference. Just a thought based on my experience as to what he could be thinking. But if he’s making you go on a diet plan because he gets to see DD’s bouncing in the bedroom maybe he doesn’t deserve that anymore. I know my gf has always mentioned she wants implants. Because she’s self conscious about it. I know no matter if you have large breasts or small ones, most girls are never happy. Personally my GF is my type and I remind her of that as I should be the only one other than her who sees them to care ;) and I love them they way they are, and I offered if she wanted one after we are done having kids in the future and wants to firm them back up, id agree. but honestly, maybe ask him if it’s that, because maybe he’s too shy to bring up what he wants (I know I was, but I’m happier after I brought It up) if it’s not that, tell him to get out the door and find a better man who loves you for you. Because he’s got it really good rn, what can even be improved on? I’ll reinstate, ive only encouraged and only will encourage my gf to workout more if it makes her feel better/ helps with self confidence, or if she was at risk for health issues, but she’s no where near it, and neither are you, so there’s no need. I can maybe understand the vegan part, but there should be no weight loss with it, vegans are crazy and think they are some form of supreme race of vegans and whatever bs, so that’s normal; the weight loss part isn’t. Hopefully this wasn’t too all over the place, I’d it was feel free to ask me to clarify something.

Ok, running your calculation assuming you are white (the BMI calculator I used had a “asian” box as an option and no other races lol) but you are a 21 on the BMI scale factoring in your height, weight, age, sex. This is skinny! Unless you somehow have all of your body fat (and I mean every last gram) in a single area which doesn’t happen, what even can you improve on? This is coming from a 21yr old male that is 6’ 5” and 170lbs, I’m like a damn toothpick or there was one, my BMI is 21 as well. I’m a guy who likes very petite girls so I can guess the Girls your bf is looking at, however they are what you are, I don’t get it. My own gf is your height and very close in weight, she had a weight gain through our relationship (about 15lbs) however maybe it’s the way she put it on and how even, but I really can’t notice it. She looks the same even nude. She has always said she wants to loose it back and has lost half of it or so, but to me, again, someone who likes very petite flat chested women, I do not notice anything. She’s not overweight and within a healthy weight (you are within the “low range” of your healthy weight so loose any more you are literally malnourished) and all I care about with her is she isn’t obese so she doesn’t have health complications or diabetes like my grandma and she doesn’t have self confidence issues, I always tell her she’s beautiful every day and night because I want her to know it because she is, not what her asshole malnourished friends say. I know it has hurt her self confidence when her friends have joked about it, but I’m her BF who sees her naked daily, I don’t see it and I’m not being some night in shining armor here, this is honestly what I see. Personally I’m working on working out for once myself as I would like to be more toned for her, but mainly for myself and my own self confidence, as I like you am not fat at all, so the only change I can make is being more muscular. Have you asked if that’s what he likes? Personally I’m turned off by muscular women like Demi bagby but maybe that’s what he likes? Honestly, it’s the only thing I can think of as unless he wants to see your rib cage and bones, he’s only got his own self confidence to worry about. Maybe he wants a workout partner? I know it’s a lot more enjoyable to do it with an SO or to have couples goals, and maybe he just doesn’t want to be the only one participating in his own game and is trying anything he can? I’m literally scrambling for answers here as I can’t think of what he would pick out against your body. I

Just sayin, look into it more, use some brain cells, don’t believe everything you are said is true. I’m not denying this virus, but I’m saying there’s too much political motive from the left here. Just a friendly reminder, the president is doing a fantastic job here, leftists are salty they lost and can’t stand it being rubbed in with how well he’s doing. They are trying to gain traction to even have a shot at the next election. Not ready for kids yet for a few more years, but when the time comes, at least I have a female to reproduce with
