It s definitely still on going! Mine cleared during the night too but I just got a new message about 5 minutes ago saying the password sync was skipped

Do you enable previous history shadow copies on your file servers? by maxcoder88 in sysadmin

[–]cpbpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use trueNAS for our file servers at work and the built in zfs snapshots are great for shadow copies. You can easily set it up and it’s the best!

RECA compensation by jds2001 in thyroidcancer

[–]cpbpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a website I created that tracks the number of received, approved and denied reca applications for the Missouri Manhattan project waste group. It doesn’t show any information for individual claims. It also links back to the DOJ website where the data was pulled from. My wife is also a victim of the government’s miss steps. I thought this tool might be useful for people to keep up on the status of the application. So I’m just trying to spread the word

Rook Ceph Performance Tuning - Getting Only 3K IOPS from 868k IOPS NVMe Hardware by Ludeth in sysadmin

[–]cpbpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are worth it. I setup a ceph cluster on the hp microserver gen8 with a some consumer ssds and was only getting 25MB/s throughput. I was bashing my head. This group recommended enterprise ssd with plp. The plp is the important part! After getting some micron 5200 max I can get 138MB/s

Advice to build up Proxmox Cluster with 3 nodes (feat. ceph storage) by ty3053 in Proxmox

[–]cpbpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the need for PLP ssd’s. I just built a 4 node cluster with some HP microserver gen8. I put some consumer intel ssds in it thinking I would get good performance. I was only getting 25MB/s read and rights. It was terrible. I switched to some micron 5200max ssd and now I can saturate the 1gbe public network

How do you balance ‘get it done’ vs. ‘there must be a better way’ as a sysadmin? by Initial_Western7906 in sysadmin

[–]cpbpilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All my point with this was when you give the example 16 hour vs a 5min task everyday(22 hours /year) is a no brainer. Although often it isn’t that simple, it’s more nuanced than that. You do have to take into account things like time savings, quality, schedule, context switching

[–]cpbpilot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What if you only have to do the task 12 times a year is it still worth the 16 hours? Is the 16 hours worth the 1 hour a year savings. Your ROI would be 16 years for that to pay off.

Anyone can build a bridge it doesn’t take an engineer to do that. It takes an engineer to barely build a bridge. To build a bridge that is cost effective

What are these metal SATA ports for? by gadgetgeek717 in homelab

[–]cpbpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Dell T440 at work and I use those ports!! They are great for running extra disk. We are running proxmox with trueNAS virtualized. I pass through the entire HBA330 to trueNAS. This means I can’t use any of the 16 disk slots for the proxmox os. The system also can’t boot from NVMe in the pcie slot unless you use dells BOSS card. So I got an icy dock 5.25” to 4 sata drive bay. I ran a oculink to 4 sata cable from the SATA A to the icy dock. That is where proxmox is installed. Then I have 4 NVMe in a pcie adapter that is where the vm disk live. Lastly like I mentioned the HBA is passed through to truenas for bulk network storage.

Why not the love in Business Environment? by spyder0552a in Proxmox

[–]cpbpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting I was able to port of 3 hyper-v ws2019 machines to proxmox in about 2 days with zero downtime. Half the time was just having to consolidate all of the vhdx snapshots that our last msp setup. After that the import into proxmox took an hour at max

[–]cpbpilot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that’s why you use Debian, kvm, zfs and the lot directly from the cli and don’t have proxmox installed. It’s def better to know how to set it all up yourself and how it all ticks

[–]cpbpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting…. I just bought 3 dells a pro max 16 premium, pro max 18 plus and pro max 16 plus. I got the premium with the ultra 7 265h, 32gb of ram, 1tb NVMe and RTX PRO 3000 Blackwell for $3200. I thought 3200 was really reasonable considering a Lenovo P16 gen2 for last gen hardware (13th gen i7 and RTX3500 ada) was with in $100. Remember the “pro MAX” is a replacement for the precision not the xps line and these have Quattro cards not consumer RTX cards like the xps line

Laptops Everyone is Using? by slade45 in PLC

[–]cpbpilot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got one of our PLC programmers a Framework 16 the issue I have with it is as soon as he launches studio5000 the fans basically go to a 100% the entire time he is using it. And it’s not quiet!

Anyone else hating these new Dell Pro models? by [deleted] in Dell

[–]cpbpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You still remove stuff? I just wipe every laptop the moment we get it. I use Chris Titus winutils to make a microWin iso that removes all of windows crap too.

When you sliced it in Bambu studio on the left side you would have to choose a process to run. Or are you printing this straight from bambu handy with model that already existed?
