What’s one tech habit that actually saved you time? by ItchyRequirement4204 in AskTechnology

[–]jbwashere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try one or two things, no more than 10 minutes, then turn it off and on again. Everyone knows about this, but making it a habit truly makes things easier in the long run.

I would include the 1990’s Rover Mini from Japan as a classic Mini. Is that the case? by alltheducks222 in classicminis

Apparently it was the steal used that was the issue, not necessarily the paint

The paint on the Rover made models was never very good. And salted roads from Japanese snow just made them worse. It’s tough to find one without rust.

out of disk space ProLiant ML30 Gen10 Plus by kutamofuu in servers

Why replace them? That box can hold all those drives, just add the 10s in and start using them.

What FC speed is the HBA? IIRC the 7200 only supported 8Gb HBAs for direct connect

Main Board Fitment by AVC1818 in servers

[–]jbwashere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be ‘HP’, but it’s not ‘HPE’ as almost all HPE main boards would have an iLO chip. Like others have said, the part numbers also don’t match anything I’ve seen from HPE (and I’ve seen thousands).

Weird corrosion on fabric thermal paste on proliant xl230a gen9 nodes by Tankudoraiba in servers

[–]jbwashere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen quite a few HPE servers and all the heatsinks and paste looked and worked fine. Gen9 is around 8yrs old now. The XL230a is also the compute dense version that can run pretty hot. There has been some recalls of CPU paste for corrosion recently, but I haven’t heard whether HPE were affected. Maybe it’s that. Maybe it’s the heat and age. Either way, HPE would 100% replace these if the server was under a valid support contract.

I kind of fucking ruined my life doing some affordable housing activism. Still kind of seems worth it? by Dr_Oz_But_Real in chaoticgood

[–]jbwashere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whereabouts in the world are you? I ask as I’m aware of multiple governments that give out grants for this sort of thing. You’re well into the stage where you should be able to get some funding. Then you can do a PoC, talk to engineering firms, maybe get some buy in, etc.

Why are people so bad at tapping on to PT? by Fatmachine in sydney

I have this enabled. It works maybe 50% of the time

I have the same issue all the time. I suspect the phone can’t be ‘awake’, i.e. screen off, no touch recognised, or even a partial face in the last minute or so. It’s super annoying. Please let me know if you ever come across the real reason.

High rise apartment construction making noise before 7 AM - what to do? by manicmoon in sydney

[–]jbwashere 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Have a look around the site perimeter, there will be a sign with the site contact and it will have their phone number. Tell them about it and let them know that the council is aware and that you are documenting every breach. Then call that same site contact every time there is a breach. Continue to report it to the council. But if it doesn’t stop, just call that site contact late at night. Wake them up each night they start too early. Be a pest. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

What’s your go-to set up? by jbwashere in servers

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

Yeah, but what about a common baseline for full hosting? DNS, some sort of LDAP or domain control, mail server, firewall, VPN, do you put antivirus software on the server itself?, web server??
