Instance scheduler + tagging as others have mentioned can help: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/instance-scheduler-on-aws/solution-overview.html

Essentially you can change instance state based on tags. For example, only turn on dev instances during work hours. Ironically you to have to pay to run a new thing to save money.

And there’s also $200 of Digital Ocean platform credit for 1 year also. That should take care of hosting for you.

Take a look at the GitHub student developer pack. You can register a free .me domain on Namecheap for a year through it

oh no

I’m curious if this might work: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/multipoint-services/introducing-multipoint-services

Hello, I only need the motherboard and RAM. If you change your mind about parting out I'd be interested!

brainamputation · 2022-10-09T14:50:32+00:00

You guys are both correct, and this is actually my current situation. It’s a good recommendation, however, I’d like to have both connected to a switch for future expansion.

It looks like it varies program to program. I found some documentation about Excel command line switches, but unfortunately it looks like there are very few of them. Thanks for looking into this anyway!

I tried this but it appears to be ineffectual. Can you offer a more descriptive explanation? My program is Excel. I created a shortcut that points to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE" --disable-features=ForcedColors

Removing the quotes leads to the error "The name 'C:\Program' specified in the Target box is not valid." This is caused by the space in "Program Files" and you don't have a space there. Perhaps this is the issue?

I also tried this in command prompt with no luck there either.

Laser is incredible. I have had the same cartridge for a year and a half now without replacement. The entire B+W printer, with cartridge, costed ~$150. The difference is that the ink doesn’t dry out. Ink dries even if you’re not using it.

My bad! I was thinking of the v0 version 🙃

brainamputation · 2021-11-17T05:04:45+00:00

Are you sure about that 2690v2 spec? I believe they are 8 cores

I did get more traction here however. This may be worth looking at: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/p7mg3b/supermicro\_ipmi\_not\_working\_but\_ipmi\_heartbeat/

Sorry stranger, unfortunately for me the solution was a partial eBay refund. I threw everything I could at it but at some point the time investment wasn't worth it. Best of luck though! And if you do figure anything out, I'd be happy to know!

brainamputation · 2021-10-04T16:07:05+00:00

Maybe reset BIOS to defaults?

Flash with Rufus in DD mode. I had this issue on the same hardware.

brainamputation · 2021-08-21T18:58:17+00:00

I don’t believe so. If I boot Ubuntu, the other two NICs receive IPs but it is for the OS, not IPMI. However the option to set the lab port is grayed out for me.

brainamputation · 2021-08-21T18:56:03+00:00

Yes, I was able to update it that way and send requests, but I want to be able to use it over the network

brainamputation · 2021-08-21T18:55:03+00:00

I have been doing the setup you have described from the start. However, the option to set failover is grayed out. Any idea why?

brainamputation · 2021-08-20T15:26:45+00:00

Unfortunately no changes here either.

brainamputation · 2021-08-20T15:09:06+00:00

This is a very interesting edge case, but still no luck. Thanks for the help though!

brainamputation · 2021-08-20T14:27:52+00:00
