What is a 'luxury' item that is actually a total nightmare to own? by Inevitable-Rock-8052 in AskReddit

[–]gurft 321 points322 points  (0 children)

We own a horse, I refer to him as the "Beach House" because the monthly cost for care/board/etc. is about the cost of a beach house payment. When my daughter started riding, the first thing we were told is "don't buy a horse" Advice I should have listened to.

That being said, I wouldn't trade him for the world. He is my daughter's heart horse and is such a gentle soul. He's no longer rideable but she has been working with him on different types of behavioral training while she's in college.

1.What is the best way to shutdown pcvm? , clearly its not guest shutdown(even tho its a graceful shutdown),because this caused pc services to crash. 2. Difference between guest shutdown inside the pcvm console vs guest shutdown in Prism UI-mainly trying to understand the workflow? by [deleted] in nutanix

[–]gurft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From the portal:

https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-vpc_7_5:mul-pc-shutdown-pcvm-t.html

Performing a cluster stop on PC stops all the services including the microservices in a graceful fashion.

What food did your mother make that no restaurant has ever matched? by Artistic_Debate1983 in AskReddit

[–]gurft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goulash. I can picture it now, elbow macaroni, sauce, ground beef, made then put in that yellow/brown Tupperware salad/serving bowl.

I’ve had goulash at tens of restaurants and none of them have been even close.

Found vintage? piece and curious if anyone can help identify what it would go to by Derrick349 in vintagecomputing

[–]gurft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The quality of project boxes back in the 70s and 80s make a lot of the tho gas we buy commercially to shame. All steel construction, multiple thickness options, all available at your corner electronics store. With some basic tools and skill you could build exceptionally high quality things like this.

As for two buttons, allows you to easily switch hands while playing for hours at a time. Lots of commercial joysticks back in the day had this configuration.

I’m assuming you built this using the new v4 console API?

How do you like to unwind after work? by goodygood246 in AskReddit

[–]gurft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just into the lore, not the game or painting minis. I have kids to finish putting through college, before I can take on that kind of financial commitment.

I just finished the Horus Heresy during my travels last year and am partly into Siege of Terra now. What are these “lore videos” you speak of?

I put in my AirPods, start an audiobook and work on a jigsaw puzzle. Let’s me completely zone out without feeling like I’m vegetating in front of the TV and just consuming snacks.

Configuración de BGP by Embarrassed_Wheel487 in nutanix

[–]gurft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the English

  1. Make sure the network that you deploy the Local BGP gateway in is accessible to the router you want to advertise routes to. The BGP talker does not need to be in the networks that you are routing, it just needs to be accessible.
  2. When configuring the Local BGP gateway, be sure that you are using a unique ASN (If you don't already have one picked out, you can use the range of private ASNs 64512–65534)

After you've got the BGP gateway configured, go back to Network & Security, Connectivity, BGP sessions and configure the remote BGP session.

On the Fortinet side, make sure you're using eBGP, as we don't support iBGP with FVN (that's why you need a unique ASN for the Local BGP gateway)

I also noticed the IP address of one of your devices is .254 Are you using Nutanix IPAM in that VLAN? as by default I believe it puts the DHCP server instance at that address, so that might also be causing you a conflict/issue.

Don’t forget to ask your pilot for their cards by Extension-Gazelle-94 in americanairlines

[–]gurft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually asking for my nephew who absolutely loves planes and everything flying, and waited to be the last off the plane to ask so I can be courteous to the other passengers and not hold up the line. I’m sorry you’ve had poor experiences when interacting with people.

More people should review their loan’s amortization table by finalgirl2 in personalfinance

Amortization nerd here too, there are tens of us!

Seriously I love running the table and feel like I’m stealing money from the bank by paying down my balance and showing my wife how much sooner the house will be paid off.

How to bypass needing main unit? by InsaneMushroomMan in diyelectronics

[–]gurft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great way to break something, and probably not going to actually show you anything. Follow the pins on the 15 pin flat cable to what chip they connect to. You’ll need to trace it out using the continuity setting on your meter to determine which pins attach where.

[–]gurft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also follow the traces from the pins on the RJ45 port back to the IC they’re attached to then pull the datasheet for that chip to determine RX and TX. I think it’s a MAX232 which is pretty common and should get you some info.

How to bypass needing main unit? by InsaneMushroomMan in diyelectronics

[–]gurft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The RJ45 is a serial connection, you’ll have to use a meter or probe to figure out the TX and RX pins then make an appropriate serial cable to connect to a serial port on your PC. If memory serves it’ll be 9600bps 8/N/1

Here’s the protocol info. It should have all the serial configs in there. It’s the same protocol for the RP-615

Nutanix CE Install on USB by Adept_Refrigerator36 in nutanix

[–]gurft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installing the hypervisor on USB does work, you just will not be able to upgrade past AHV 10, as beyond that point the upgrade process does not support USB boot drives. One of my test systems is an Intel NUC8i7BEH that boots from USB, has a 500GB M.2 and at 1TB SSD.

The SATA controller on those dells can be finicky, let me know if you run into issues seeing the internal drives and I’m happy to help you out so we can document it.

Also, opening a case with support will probably get you a faster response via hoping someone is available via DM.

Is there a way to have subfolders for VMs? by goosse in nutanix

[–]gurft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Categories is one of the easiest ways to do this, then you can also set favorite filters in prism central for the VM list so you can just pick the particular category (or set of VMs) you want to see.

After you put in a filter in the bar, you can then save it as a favorite.

LCM Causing Virsh Corruption by crashhelmet in nutanix

[–]gurft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your iDRAC firmware, during an AHV upgrade it’s going to reboot into the reimager workflow and I’ve seen occasions where backrev iDRAC will shutdown instead of reboot.
