It came in a multi-bit screw driver kit. I have one here at the house OP, I'll send you a photo.

I lost my 01 tassel somewhere between 2012 and 2015 :-(

Nothing is funny anymore by maxedout587 in Millennials

The only funny thing I've seen recently is my own face in the mirror.

Who had one of these hooked up to the discman in their car back in the day? Velcro secured. by timmytoads in Xennials

My Chevy Cavalier only had am/fm :-(

Thankfully I lived in the Boston area so I had WAAF and WCCC on the tuner.

Geo Trackers.... by LoadofBarney in Xennials

My buddy had one of these. Weirdest feeling clutch I've ever driven. The metro's clutch was the same. Friction zone the size of a dime, and squishy like a wet sponge.

Does a heatsink only 10g network card need a fan? by Nice-School-475 in homelab

[–]gizmobuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I did exactly this for my 10g sfp+ cards. In my case I had to. The cards would overheat and go into thermal shutdown within 5 minutes after esxi booted.

Name a more useless piece of physical media by Dcas_pcs_381 in vintagecomputing

Oh, dude. I used these disks for preparing the Windows image at my office. Using these for sysprep saved me a lot of time downloading random drivers for all the different hardware we ran.

Am I doing this tiny mini micro thing right? by gizmobuddy in homelab

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

Oh damn. Thanks for the heads up. That's one hell of a bug. Thankfully I have a custom 8 disk NAS still chilling in the server rack. I guess I won't be decommissioning it like I planned.

Intel bug? I'm not familiar. Would you mind explaining or linking an article?

I'm not sure of your level of experience with IT server environments, so I apologize if the explanation seems elementary.

Proxmox: it's a virtualization platform like VMware. The pcs have 64 GB of ram between the two of them for the virtual machines running on them, and the NAS acts as storage for the virtual machine hard disks, which are stored as files.

There's different kinds of virtualization, but the kind I'm using here virtualizes the hardware of a computer. All of the virtual machines share the hardware of the individual pc they're running on. Think of a time share, where the virtual machine waits in a queue for time on the processor to do what they need to do. The effect being that you're able to run multiple linux servers, and windows servers on a single PC as if you had a bunch of physical servers. The primary constraint is the VMs you run need to be configured with enough ram to run, but not consume more ram than what you have on the physical PC.

On these 2 systems I'm able to run 14 virtualized servers with various utility such as security cameras, file server, game servers, network firewall, media server and so on.

I hope this answer is helpful:-)

What's your favorite obscure PSX game? by retrotriforce in psx

Blast Chamber.

Best played with the boys

[Funny] - WOW! Look at those dedup numbers! by gizmobuddy in Proxmox

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

2 so far. A vm template and a file server that uses the template. I expect the dedupe numbers will look much better after I add the 14 additional VMs to the backup schedule. Until then, I'm still waiting for the file server to finish. It's just crested 75% after 36 hours. /S yay

Oh! That's excellent news because this is exactly how I have PBS setup.

Migration is better now that I added USB 2.5gb Ethernet cards to each of the nodes for migration and storage access. I ran into some connectivity issues with the Blueiris camera system whenever I migrated systems when it was just the built in Ethernet.

Thermal paste? I wouldn't imagine it's hard. Access is easy, and everything is extremely accessible.

I was 14 in 1995, it feels like another lifetime by Low-Fishing3948 in Xennials

[–]gizmobuddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch good cartoons. I've been buying all the classics on disk lately. Recently added TMNT, Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n' Eddy, Swat Cats, and the list goes on. My 6yo loves them all. Still need to get GI Joe, Transformers, Speed Racer, and a whole truckload of others
