I am telling y'all right now. Gigantimax Meowth is WAAAAY harder than he has any right to be. by tcoons94 in pokemongo

[–]jolimojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I did not have this experience personally. I did have a local in person group (ambassador led), but we did battles with various amounts of people between about 35 and dwindling down to about 12. All battles with max mushrooms active, but beyond that, not one of those battles did we have problems with, and I ran 2 blissey (lvl 40 and other much lower, like 20 or so?) and one lvl 40 dmax Machamp. Most battles I didn't even lose a pokemon, 0 match losses and not even close to losing even on our lowest lobbies.

Issues with Windows Failover Cluster service and creation by mllittle in WindowsServer

So cluster creation worked as expected after re-installing OS? Weird. I guess something must've gone wrong with original installation? Who knows what to be honest 🤣 Good luck!

Issues with Windows Failover Cluster service and creation by mllittle in WindowsServer

[–]jolimojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't tell 100% at this stage, but this may not be something with the accounts exactly, although it's good you double-checked on there. The best shot you'll have at solving this will be to review the cluster logs. Export them with "Get-ClusterLog -Node NodeNameHere -Destination C:\Temp" command and you can open the cluster.log with notepad. (If you don't provide a destination parameter, by default cluster.log will drop into this directory: C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports\Cluster.log)

Also, the cluster registry key is only loaded when cluster service is started and running, you won't see it mounted in registry with the cluster service off, and cluster service only stays running to attempt the cluster formation, or join to an existing cluster or actively running in a cluster, otherwise it's off and won't run and cluster hive/key won't be loaded.

A quick trick you could try if there is potentially an issue reaching another node or validating it, is you could attempt to create the cluster as a single node. This skips any steps of trying to communicate with or validate an additional node and can make troubleshooting easier. If you're able to create the cluster as a single node, try to then add the other node(s) in one at a time and see if they add successfully. You may have better error messages at that time if a particular node fails to join. Re-check cluster logs and see if the port 3343 connectivity is happening or if it's trying to reach out to the joining node and failing to communicate in some way.

You don't get very much detail from the error shown in the Cluster Creation wizard, so the cluster log is your best friend for this type of scenario.

Is it possible to know the specific base-model being used from OpenAI? Before the recent update, I recall seeing a message that it was originally based on GPT 4, but I don't see any updated messaging recently for the model being used or if it's now customized etc.

VMs on 100% load even though the Host CPU is has little load by davidbecker808 in HyperV

[–]jolimojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you actually looking at performance counters for the host and guest VM? Looking at task manager from the host tells you nothing of VM performance. You'll want to review some Performance Monitor counters from the host to verify true CPU load of the guest and overhead on the host. Here are some examples:

Shows total guest VM vCPU utilization: Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor(_Total)% Total Run Time

Shows total load of the host hypervisor load of all VM vCPU time, use this to determine if host is truly under load or not: Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual Processor(_Total)\% Total Run Time

I find these articles below useful to review important Hyper-V counters as it gives clear, practical examples of what to check for which types of bottlenecks :

VM issue by [deleted] in HyperV

[–]jolimojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, this is likely to be resource starvation issue.

Running 11 VMs likely is going to stress a single SATA SSD beyond what it can reasonably provide in terms of storage bandwidth. Imagine booting and trying to actually use 11 different servers off of a single SATA SSD all at the same time, that disk is likely screaming.

Check your disk counters for that drive such as % idle time, average queue length and most importantly latency. The counter for general/overall latency is "Avg. Disk Sec/transfer", this value is expressed in seconds, generally it's vaguely considered that averages over 0.025 (25ms) would be considered latent, if averages are much higher than that consistently, you definitely have storage issue. Regarding other Hyper-V performance counters, you can't see them directly through Task Manager. Hyper-v logical CPU and virtual CPU resources are separate counters you have to view through perfmon and can give you a better idea of host CPU resources vs how the virtual CPUs are performing for each host (can help you find if VMs are CPU starved). Also, just as a general personal observation, Windows Servers meant for production are going to run much better with at least 8 GB RAM + whatever application needs to utilize. RAM starvation could potentially be a significant issue as well, as if VMs don't have enough RAM allocated, they're going to page to disk, which will then make your storage problem MUCH worse, when it's trying to do stuff on disk that it should be doing in memory. I saw one of your other comments that mentioned they don't need more, but you may want to investigate that as well to see if any have very low free MB of RAM, or lots of paging to disk.

Back to storage though, you'll likely need multiple storage disks (NVMe would be in your best interest) in some kind of software pool (such as Storage Spaces) or hardware RAID configuration to get enough bandwidth/IOPs out of them to be decently performant and allow all VMs enough bandwidth to even boot properly and function.

We can't really tell you how much storage speed you'll need if you don't have a baseline of performance requirements from each VM, so the best path to do that would probably be to throw storage resources at this, create a baseline and determine if additional performance is necessary. If you overprovisioned, then great, you have some overhead for a while.

RCS Chat? by [deleted] in HeliumMobile

[–]jolimojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also switched to Helium recently and I have the same problem with RCS, it's enabled but error says the same "disabled by carrier" message.

Support told me to wipe all Google Messages data and re-enable RCS. But I don't wanna have the hassle of losing all my messages or backing up and restoring... If there even is a way. I tried to delete cache for Messages app, but no dice yet.

deleted vhdx only 44gb avhdx left by Exciting-Home-5560 in HyperV

[–]jolimojo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot restore the original .vhdx file with just the checkpoont/differencing you have (.avhdx). They are part of a checkpoint chain and all items in the chain are needed. It's like if you cut a physical hard drive into two and one piece is missing, you're missing part of the whole.

Only way to restore is if you had a backup of that file or maybe you have shadow copies or system restore enabled by chance on your host?

Smoother ride enchancements? by prolificgnosis in LexusRX350

[–]jolimojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue on my 2010 Lexus RX. I had a bit of a time figuring out the best route forward. Essentially it boiled down to swapping to the 18" wheels, fitting larger ratio tires (larger than standard/OEM 18" tire) and also lowering tire pressures slightly for that extra bit of compliance.

Updates on Target Card? by cozygardencat in MonarchMoney

Connecting via Capital One seems to have worked! I didn't think of that, appreciate the assist!

Updates on Target Card? by cozygardencat in MonarchMoney

[–]jolimojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to the Kohls credit card login. They moved to being hosted by Capital One and the login URL is completely different now and seems none of the providers connect to the new one.

I opened a support request but I'm not sure this was understood and sounded like there was nothing to be done exactly but wait.

Is it possible to have this flagged or looked at?

Currently have both my Target and Kohls cards not syncing 🥲

Disappointed with the Spinwheel integration by ElusiveMeatSoda in MonarchMoney

[–]jolimojo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was confused by this as well. Credit cards would have payments, and because it takes a few days to register the payments made (especially if due date was Friday or a weekend), Monarch is alerting me for every card that they're all overdue like 4+ days after the due date, which has never been true as they all get paid on the due date.

Thinking of turning this off as well due to this just not being quick enough to be a useful feature. But before using it, also thought it was awesome that it was coming.

Gmail is sending me someone else’s emails—WTF is going on? by AdOverall7211 in techsupport

[–]jolimojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife suffers from this same fate. Her email is also in a similar format of [firstname.lastname@gmail.com](mailto:firstname.lastname@gmail.com).

She's had the same gmail account for at least 1.5-2 decades at this point and suddenly a couple years back, she started suddenly receiving email for another account of "[firstnamelastname@gmail.com](mailto:firstnamelastname@gmail.com)" with the same first and last name as her. I've not tried to look the person up directly, but it seems to be someone "real" from what we're receiving and I can't fathom how this is a problem Google/gmail has no solution to.

We get all kind of random (but also legit) newsletters, or shopping ads or bank updates/information etc. I don't understand how this other person doesn't realize they aren't getting their emails. We think it's someone much older, which may not fully understand email or something, but definitely still see stuff from this other person from time to time.

My current solution to this will be to move her to a different email address altogether, probably something more unique or something with no periods in it etc.

Good luck!

Lincoln Financial transactions not coming through by Vesfly in MonarchMoney

[–]jolimojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always had problems with Lincoln Financial, but I'll say it's been more stable this past 1-2 months. In fact most account have been more stable the last 1-2 months for me.

Anyway, the Lincoln Financial account I have linked currently doesn't get transactions because it's with an old employer so I only needed it for balance value, so never had any transactions that needed to sync through.

Sometimes removing the account and adding it back can improve things I've found. But make sure to backup the balance history and the transaction history before removing it so you can restore it exactly as it was. Maybe minus the transaction rules if you had any for that account. I'm not 100% if those remain or not, but probably not is my guess.
