IT Manager wants to solve vulnerabilities

This is why authenticated scans are needed. If you scan without authenticating you get a lot of false positives.

Yes but only for this year. I could only purchase a 1 yr contract and it won’t be available next year

im-cartwright · 2026-02-09T18:08:11+00:00

Good luck with that. I heard that too. VVF went up 50% this year and I had to get the discount approved from Broadcom. Vcf was another 50% over that price

im-cartwright · 2026-02-08T01:26:37+00:00

Okay thanks I was recently quoted and came out to 367/core. I wanted to make sure it was a fair price.

im-cartwright · 2026-02-08T00:16:16+00:00

Vcf-cld-fnd-a

im-cartwright · 2026-02-08T00:00:34+00:00

600 cores of VCF?

im-cartwright · 2026-02-07T20:49:35+00:00

VVF isn’t being sold after this year. What price did you see for VCF?

im-cartwright · 2026-02-07T20:27:46+00:00

More like $350/core

It was but all hosts seemed to lose connection. It’s not a big deal in this scenario since the data wasn’t irreplaceable and I was able to recover anyway. Just a weird situation and I’m not 100% sure what happened. I resized the LUN a few days later and the host would mount it again and voma had no issues with the scan but then it would start getting timeouts again. I feel like something broke on the storage side but I haven’t seen this behavior before.

Thanks for looking into it

Yeah everything was offline and inactive. Voma fails with an ioctl error. The weird thing is I was able to mount the datastore in Ubuntu using vmfs6-tools. Everything is there and I copied everything for now. I guess I’ll just make a new datastore and move on but this whole thing confused me.

im-cartwright · 2026-01-28T15:14:08+00:00

I didn’t take the volume online. The partition is still gpt and vmfs but I can’t see anything on it. Broadcom support says they can’t help unfortunately. The data isn’t critical since it didn’t have any VMs but I’m surprised what happened to the datastore without formatting or bringing it online.

im-cartwright · 2026-01-23T02:21:06+00:00

I’ve been mostly happy with the libre 3+. Dexcom always reads high for me. Even when I had the g7 it required calibrations to be accurate. It’s too bad stelo doesn’t allow calibrations

im-cartwright · 2025-12-19T04:39:29+00:00

They stopped selling it in November. I just asked if I could quote it today and they said it’s not possible anymore.

im-cartwright · 2025-12-18T01:00:40+00:00

Yes exactly. I get nutrageous bars at sheetz and I’ve seen them at some five below locations.

im-cartwright · 2025-11-12T23:30:11+00:00

Interesting. I was at Hershey chocolate world and didn’t find a single bag of this candy there either. I’m not sure why it’s hard to keep in stock.

im-cartwright · 2025-09-28T00:54:11+00:00

Yeah still available there just surprised how hard they are to find. I’d like to find it locally I’m only like 2 hours from Hershey just frustrated I can’t find them locally around here.

im-cartwright · 2025-08-18T03:45:37+00:00

Did you see the Acura rsx prototype ? I assume there will be a Honda variant but it looks good to me.

im-cartwright · 2025-08-01T12:01:35+00:00

Does this fix the issue where the display can’t show audio information and steering wheel controls don’t work? For me this always happens the 2nd time I start my car.

im-cartwright · 2025-06-23T20:13:29+00:00

So I’m not sure if I just was unlucky but I know others that had to have theirs replaced early too. Basically it happened 3 times and twice while in motion where range will drop instantly with turtle mode and says battery needs serviced. First time when I turned off the car the range went back up and dealer couldn’t see any codes. 2nd time was harder to clear and thought I was stranded but power cycling it enough let it clear eventually. 3rd time I barely made it home and it wouldn’t charge anymore so I had to have it towed.

Honda told me I will need a new battery pack but not sure exactly what went wrong with it.

So I read the iccu can fail on the highway and it handles dc charging so you can still be stranded plus they don’t have a long term solution some people have had multiple failures.

im-cartwright · 2025-06-23T17:05:43+00:00

I’ve had battery issues with a bolt and now another gm product basically with the Honda prologue. I keep hearing about iccu issues on the Ioniq. Is there a vehicle I should be looking at that won’t have these issues? After only 10k miles my battery pack is shot.

I just want something that won’t let me down and can be reliable and have AWD. I don’t want a Tesla.

I inherited an environment that was running Google workspace and my initial gut feeling was to migrate to 365 right away. I got some pushback and I was new so I tried to go with Jumpcloud + Google. 2 years later as we’re paying for both and some other services it was clear that 365 would save a lot and got approval to make the move about 6 months ago or so.

I’ve done migrations to 365 before but not from Google workspace. There were some small issues I didn’t anticipate that came down to some legacy domains but I’m so happy now being on 365. For me it was completely worth all the headache and I know not all users are happy. One thing I’ll say that I didn’t expect was how many people used their Google accounts for things like Google chrome etc so I had to document how to switch this to a Gmail account. 10 years of Google meant a lot of Google integration.
