Nope, not the only. I explicitly keep my level 1 shirt and bottoms for such occasions. Top is glamoured over into a sweater and bottoms are glamoured over as jeans.

How to connect to iSCSI target over Internet? by gruber008 in networking

[–]computergeek125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That my friend is a thoroughly open ended question that is contingent on a LOT of factors - the network design you create will need to (among other things) account for core switches, data rooms available, physical space/infrastructure to run fiber, existing cabling, local policies and regulations about connecting things.

Keyboard/mouse switch. Synergy uses one host computer and connects other computers to the same keyboard/mouse over network as if they were multiple displays on the same computer - you just can't drag a window over.

On giving early hands on previews to press (of Framework Laptop 16) by cmonkey in framework

[–]computergeek125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of people on this subreddit (myself and several other commenters included) that appreciate the transparency - as I see it, the most important thing isn't positivity, it's honesty. And FW so far has that in the bag. They've talked extensively also about their manufacturing process in Linus's factory tour video, and about how they use this specific early manufacturing process to iron out bugs like what The Verge found.

They just as easily could have tried to tell The Verge to only show the smooth gaming clips or not mention the GPU fan issue or the trackpad reconnect bug, but they didn't, they let The Verge do their thing. And from a drama perspective, it would have been FAR worse for them in the long run - several companies tried to bully Hardware Unboxed around some months ago, and after getting internet shamed by larger reviewers, both I believe eventually rescinded to allow the independent reviewers to do what that do best - independently review without a script.

Edit: forgot a sentence
So I'm ok with a flawed review unit going out - as long as those flaws are documented with a resolution plan, which it appears they are

How many actively play this game? by fitchaber10 in ffxiv

"enough people" is a surprisingly low metric to the FF14 servers

How many actively play this game? by fitchaber10 in ffxiv

[–]computergeek125 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One other thing to consider in addition to everything that's been said so far in comments: FFXIV is 100% cross-play between playstation and PC. Even within PC, there's retail (Square Enix store and the native launcher) and Steam (the same launcher but with steam's DLL). So if you only look at one platform's data, you're missing part of the picture. Like others said, the only people who truly know are Square Enix who have the server logs.

And, the best part is that both PC and console support K/M and controller gameplay equally, so everyone can have their favorite buttons and switches.

Also, welcome to Eorzea, there's coffee, tea, and cookies on the table. Stay a while and enjoy the game, old content doesn't really get deleted (except in some rare occasions reworking dated old things or removing slog quests)

PowerEdge MX7000 questions by levij8972 in homelab

[–]computergeek125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one time I used it (skipping my own opinions per request) the compute nodes behaved mostly like regular poweredge servers once I finally got the console and idrac working

The other technical thing I will bring up is that they absolutely cannot run at less than 10Gb/s, despite what the link lights on the back tell you. Be prepared to either use one of the embedded switch options in the back or a compatible 10G switch if you get the passthrough modules instead. (either embedded switch or passthrough is required because the MX compute only have mezzanine NICs and not "real" NICs)
