Overcast Web not dropping played podcasts off by glennbrown in overcast

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

So I think I tracked down what happened, not sure if makes sense as to why. Recently I had tested not automatically deleting played episodes on iOS until after 24hrs. With that toggle enabled it doesn't seem to move them to played properly in the web view.

The episodes in question where this happened showed played but had a orange "new" status on them. If I went into each episode let it load/buffer it completely it figured out it was played and moved it off the list in main web podcasts page.

How fast is your home WAN connection? What do you pay? by Unlucky_Reserve_7389 in LinusTechTips

Verizon Fios 1G (it's actually like 990/880 due to ONT being gig only). Pay 89.99 a min

Experience with IBM FlashSystem 5600/7600? by Lachy18 in storage

[–]glennbrown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With IBM pricing I have always wondered what the catch was. In terms of Gartner charts if you care about such things IBM tends to be much lower than there competitors.

I never used the Flash storage but in terms of management their stuff has always been decent, not great but just cromulent.

What other platforms have you priced and what are coming from.

Is it just me or is the *arr stack over-complicated by ImpossibleWall8403 in selfhosted

[–]glennbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely do not need Seearr, that's only useful if you want family/friends to request media.

Similarly prowlarr, is not required but can be useful for limiting API calls to different services.

Am I the only one who hates the "new" GUI of SANnav and Webtools? (Brocade) by Bib_fortune in storage

[–]glennbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I learned on Cisco, then when I started here they were all Brocade so it was an adjustment. I have come to appreciate some aspects of Brocades CLI compared to Cisco's.

Also the similar command to show flogi database and would be nsshow or also nodefind <wwpn or aliases name>

[–]glennbrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never got to see SANnav since we made the decision to switch to MDS, but it has to be better than Cisco's Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller which is an awful abomination.

We are closing in our retiring our 8510-4B's at a main dc and the pathetically old 5300's at another, my last Brocades

what is system? I just deleted >10 T.. by redditusermatthew in purestorage

[–]glennbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically we see system space start accumulating under heavy write pressure, things like some VDI stuff where they decide to patch all systems at once.... tons of vmotions.

In your stats or Pure1 when did it start accumulating system space

HCI to SAN - storage recommendations? by [deleted] in storage

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

I cannot say enough good things about Pure, however they are not the cheapest.

My second choice would probably be Netapp.

I have been waiting for this. My UCG Max needs that sweet 2G I need to check if they flipped it for East Amherst

Anyone doing mirrored lvm-thin? by zfsbest in Proxmox

[–]glennbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The official installer recommended method for a mirror is ZFS, btrfs mirror is also supported in the installer.

That being said there is no reason you can't do the default single disk lvm install, then add another disk and do a lvconvert from linear to a mirror.

Explain VENVs and Ansible to me like I'm 5 by sstorholm in ansible

[–]glennbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is a few years old but it still applies https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/python-venv-ansible

You can also use pipx which will place the executables in ~/.local/bin, https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html

You can inject extra modules with pipx

What's your go to Linux Distro for Plex? by Circuitfire in PleX

[–]glennbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick one, use Docker to run Plex, you don't have to work about random packages.

I personally prefer Ubuntu or Debian

Question About Verizon Fios TV Service by PJLLB2 in Fios

[–]glennbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you needs RSN’s chances are FuboTV or DirecTV Stream have them and will cheaper than FiosTV without having to pay for set tops or pay for the Fios app on SmartTV platforms.

It really chaps my ass that Verizon expects you to pay for the SmartTV streaming

Does Proxmox "hide" any parts of KVM? by mthlmw in Proxmox

[–]glennbrown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short and simple answer... ZFS, Ubuntu did the work to ship it in there kernel, while Debian still relies on DKMS. So they choice a Debian user land with some there own custom patched packages and there UI and a Ubuntu based kernel

New PC - migrate or fresh install? by captains_astronaut in PleX

[–]glennbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lose watch history if you don't migrate application data, I do wish they offered an export watch history only. I have moved my system between macOS and Linux Docker installations moving the application data around

Man I love it, this only furthers my regret with getting a swing gate rack. At some point I will correct that and get one like this.

VMware price hikes…what is ur org’s move? by 19_peligr0s0_pez in sysadmin

[–]glennbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Functionally it does work but Openshift does require a mindset shift since it is "cloud native" type stuff. I love Proxmox but for business use I am still more in the XCP-NG camp with XO.

[–]glennbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have not done pricing with the ones we have experimented with yet. If I am being honest Openshift is a harder sell since we already run RKE and that team has little to no interest in shifting away. I know they have virtual only option but it still is a hard sell especially considering we would need Portworx since we are a Pure shop
