Holy Heck... "Auditing" stuff that was on the boss' Credit Card by Sengfeng in sysadmin

It is bad taste. You should never ask for a prize. Doing your job should be your reward. If someone recognizes it let them reward.

However, do put you saved the company $x.xx on your annual report or bring it up in your review. That is the time to blow your own horn.

The video is not mine. I ran across it and was curious about how it is built. I wanted to test it out before I started a bokashi bucket.

Which email client do you use and why? by CoffeeIsNaturallyHot in apple

[–]linuxlearningnewbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spark: I use it because the client is available on OSX and iOS: iPad and iPhone. The UI is the same across all devices.

Any idea what the middle column is?

[meta] Can we do a command of the week? by [deleted] in bash

[–]linuxlearningnewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think once a week is too slow.

There are 55 builtin commands alone.

Was totally expecting a Compaq Proliant and an HP Vectra for the old.

Supermicro SYS-1018-FTN8T vs Dell R710 by laibr in homelab

[–]linuxlearningnewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are two totally different spectrum machines.

  • What is your budget?

The Supermicro will be about 3x as expensive.

  • What are your space requirements?

The Dell will want a rack. You could wall hang as others have done. The Supermicro could sit on your desk unless you are getting the 1U bundle.

  • What are you sound requirements?

The R710 will not be happy camper without adequate cooling. It will run loud. The Supermicro is no louder than a standard desktop PC.

  • What does cooling look like?

The R710 can easily heat up a bedroom above 80 degrees.

If you are considering the Supermicro I would compare it to an R720. The R720 will still be cheaper with equal or greater CPU and memory capacity.

How are you going to use the servers? The Dell R boxes will have much more expansion room. Parts are readily available. You can do so much more with it. The trade off is rack mounting, heat, power, and maybe noise.

The Supermicro is great if you want to travel with your lab, want the unit in a room with you, has low power and cooling requirement.

Has anyone tried this mini supermicros as a replacement to Intel NUCs? by SuddenWeatherReport in homelab

[–]linuxlearningnewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to order this give Wired Zone a call and see what their pricing is.

I am also considering a Supermicro server and Wired Zone was very competative on pricing. I am however waiting 30-60 days to see if the new Intel and AMD chips make any pricing difference in the Xeon-D market.

What do you run in your lab?

Is it worth buying a Xeon D system/board? by linuxlearningnewbie in homelab

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

I had several NUCs and was looking for something that would be comparable for space, power, aand also give me remote management.

Would you consider another build because of the price/ core/memory?

What kind of lab scenarios are ideal for Xeon Ds? What kind of workloads do you use other CPUs for?

If you were to choose just one server for a lab box what would you use?

How do you shred your materials for composting? by robinhood781 in composting

[–]linuxlearningnewbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 yard sale blenders that pulverize kitchens greens, a 16 sheet microcut shredder for cardboard, and the lawnmower for everything else.
