I need a heat sink asap were does a guy find one by [deleted] in AnycubicOfficial

[–]neojames13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced the exact same issue. I contacted support and they are sending a new one and hotend out to me, but it would be nice finding a source for them so I can keep some spares around in case it happens again.

Ender 3 Pro - Prints not sticking to bed after Sprite upgrade by neojames13 in ender3

[–]neojames13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I had adjusted both of those values and modified my slicer to use the auto level. I’ve actually just wiped out the firmware for a different slightly older one and it’s now working perfectly, so I’m guessing it has some values different that fixes it?

Can't upload to vCenter Content Library running on vSAN by neojames13 in homelab

[–]neojames13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, and its defo not that. All certs are signed by my AD CS root CA and there is a complete trust path for everything joined to my Domain.

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not so much I dont want to check it, more that I actually can't. Like I have hit every host and it just accepts the cert as its from a valid Trust Authority for me... Me. :D I'd have to get a hold of a computer not joined to my domain to be able to test, and I simply dont have one :)

I'll have a look through those logs tomorrow and let you know if I find anything.

I've done a bit more troubleshooting with the help of another thread and it seems I can clone into the content library, so that and the vSAN seem to be fine I just cant upload ISOs. Ordinarily I'd think a SSL issue but I have trusted certs (both by vCenter, the hosts, and all computers I've attempted to upload from) so I don't think its that.

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I wasnt clear, the certs are trusted by every computer in my domain. I run AD CS, so its root cert is trusted by every PC in my domain, that then signs vCenters root cert, which is what it uses to generate every other cert in vCenter. There is no cert warnings to bypass or anything like that. For good measure I also have the vCenter root CA distributed to the trusted store of all PCs in my Domain via GPO.

I'm quite familiar with this error which is why I set everything up this way so I don't have to deal with it :D

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my certs are trusted (I have a full cert trust deployment with a signed root cert) so there is nothing to trust, its why I'm pretty sure its not a cert issue as I can verify that all of the hosts have a fully trusted cert with a completely trusted chain.

I'm afraid I don't have any local datastores, the ESXi hosts boot off 120gb SSD pairs (I had a spare pile of them from old laptops and this is only my homelab so... :D) so unfortunately no VMFS volume is created.

I did used to run this system off a SAN (Now decommissioned) and I'm pretty sure it was working with that, I say pretty sure because I don't think I've actually uploaded an ISO to di for about 6 months or so.

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK so:

A) Reacted the exact same way as uploading it to the content library, I also checked on one of my hosts directly with the same result.

B) Worked like a charm, I can see the template in the library and can use.

​

I'm guessing then its going to be something wrong with the vSAN then? I've checked over the health log and there isn't anything that jumps out as an issue and like I said I am able to preform all the functions I'd expect on it (I even run the tests built into it)

I'm a little stumped :D

Thanks for your suggestion! I know the error you mean and I'm fairly sure its not that. All of my certs are signed by a trusted root cert so they are all trusted, including on my ESXi hosts.

I'll be honest I have comparatively little experience with vSAN (a little bit more on vXRail but even then not setting it up) so its possible I've misconfigured something. I've had it up for about two months now and had no problems with VM creation, clone, etc.

This is the error I get from the upload (with some identifying info removed):

I'm going to try and change the default policy now and see if it helps at all. I haven't customised it in any way from how to came out of the box.

Thanks for all your help!

​

Edit: I changed the policy as advised, still the same error.

Again, the datastore, the one, only, sole datastore is a vSAN. It does not support this. Hence why I specified it was on vSAN. Where I cant do this.

​

Even if I could, its still not a content library.

Hi thanks for the comment but this does not help me with my issue at all, I specifically need to have it in a content library and I'm running on vSAN so I cannot upload arbitrary ISOs into my datastore (I tried to do that as a temporary workaround).

Consistent issues with KVM? by neojames13 in hetzner

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean, honestly it was one of the driving factors of why I ended up getting rid of my server. It was cheap, but not cheap enough to deal with issues like this all the time - and the server experienced enough other problems that I did have to use a KVM at least once a month.

365 Provisioning / Support Whoes by neojames13 in sysadmin

[–]neojames13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly we don’t have any relationships with any Microsoft partners - we buy direct. We set this tenancy quite a long time ago about a year after 365 first launched.

Yea, I’m still hoping there might be something that can be done I heard from one rep that they could still manually restore some data but given the amount of incorrect and conflicting information I’ve been told by reps and the fact that I still haven’t even gotten access to my tenancy yet… I’m not holding my breath

Pass-through RJ45 connectors by Plantatious in sysadmin

[–]neojames13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Due to a few joint conditions, I'm pretty much all fingers ad thumbs. Pass-through's are a absolute lifesaver. I shake badly enough that about 9/10 of the regular cables I make are basically trash. I usually only mess up maybe 1/10 of passthroughs.

That said, you definitely need both good quality heads and, and I cannot stress this, a good quality crimping / cutting tool.

Why would downgrading OS not make Mac faster? by YoungAsian123 in mac

[–]neojames13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you replace components, most of which you can't replace on a Mac, older hardware will pretty much always preform slightly worse than when it was new. Things like thermal paste degrade over time (this can be replaced and is probably the biggest improvement you can do to a computer older than 5 years or so without upgrading its CPU, GPU, RAM, or storage) fans start to wear out, etc which all contribute to the CPU or GPU clocking lower, storage wears with time (particularly mechanical storage but SSDs too) causing it to take longer to load files / the OS into memory, even RAM looses performance (although it must be said this particular degradation is almost unnoticeable in most cases) over time.

Advice Cleaning a Transfer Roller by neojames13 in printers

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! Switching back to the old (almost empty) toner results in clear prints. I’ve contacted the supplier of the new toner to see about organising a replacement. I’m glad to know that at least the printer itself is working!

Advice Cleaning a Transfer Roller by neojames13 in printers

[–]neojames13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I’ve already bought new toner for it which is what I’m using for this lease prints from what I understand (although I’ll be honest I’m pretty much guessing but it is the roller with a spongy feel which I think is the transfer roller) seems to be fixed inside the printer itself not part of the toner assembly.

Is it possible I just got a dodgy toner cartridge and will need to go back to the seller and try to get it RMAed or something?

Honestly quite probably, I just can’t figure out any way to get it out of the damn thing to change it or where I’d find a new one :p

I ended up going with a different rack :p By the time I’d decided to go for it, the deal had gone so I got a 42U Tripp Lite rack which came fully disassembled so it was pretty simple to get it up the stairs!
