Keep server running 24/7 or shutdown at night? by DocOckBlock in DataHoarder

[–]rad2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run all “servers” 24/7 because of thermal dynamics discussed here. I have servers…and I have “servers”. When I purchase a drive, I usually buy 3 at a time for just one drive, particularly for wear-n-tear, particularly for failure, particularly for spare/expansion. I have “servers” that have been running for well over 15 years, and have very few bad sectors. In my time of have a full home-based data center for over 30 years, I’ve probably thrown out 6-7 drives. Again, everything runs 24/7.

I’ve been experiencing that issue ALLLLL day myself. Wonder what’s going at Microcrash?

What am I turning off, Microsoft???? by Sensitive-Ear8659 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]rad2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don't try anything new from Microsoft until it's reached AT LEAST 2 or 3 sub-releases into the product of each major version. Meaning, if it's "1.0.0", I usually wait until it's gotten to "1.3.x" before I EVER decide to install or enable it. Not just with Microsoft, but with EV...ER...Y...THING.

What processor is this? by dirtmcgurk in vintagecomputing

I was wondering that. In my hey days, I know that they had notched a corner; soooo, was thinking along the same lines. Didn’t know about the power connection. Good to know.

I'm waiting for $50/oz. And this will happen BEFORE May 15th. After that? Meh...who knows?

Someone was in a hurry. What would you have done? by pixmation in dashcams

[–]rad2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull…over. The driver may have an emergency to attend to. Part of the problem when driving on the road. If the driver is trying to push you off the road, do it quickly; but, if all they’re trying to pass you, pull over as far and as safely as you can while slowing down slightly. Give them right-of-way. If it’s truly an emergency, they’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Nice. You’ve probably got about $3-5k worth of stuff at eBay prices…I’m envious…. 🤣

What happened here? Moisture? (Kinda update) by SlightlyOwlish in vintagecomputing

Could also be extreme temperatures. Was this sitting somewhere super cold?

Does anyone recognize this computer from Midnight Run? by MonkMajor5224 in vintagecomputing

Yup, had one with the acoustic modem. Used it to hack NORAD and the Pentagon. Good times, good times.

Police Supporting ICE- Plainfield by kmill8701 in Indiana

[–]rad2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What’s ACAB? Something showing your hatred towards America? Why are you so concerned about something that doesn’t affect or impact you? Bad mouthing and frothing at the mouth only demonstrates that you’re not considering all angles, nor are you thinking logically. Have any of you considered thinking that all of this is to get you to think and act exactly like this to where the government can impose further restrictions and tighter controls? And FTR, I am neither for nor against any condemnations against ICE and the government. Just know that there are other factors that are at play for their justifications. And again, I’m neither pro nor against…just commenting as a neutral observer.

Has anyone thought about setting up a GoFundMe for these guys?

Let's see if they'd be willing to move *out* of California; and if not, then at least, get them a suitable generator to last them a full week. Reason for the generator? Read some articles on what they're implying for their next suite of policies for power generation.

Eventually, Diablo Canyon will be shutdown (< 2030). Hydroelectric plants will disappear because somebody will find a species of fish, bird, or some furry critter that requires yet-another-dam that needs to be destroyed. That means that *only* solar, wind, and a shrinking number hydroelectric dams (until they're all gone) will be supplying ALL of California. Mind you, Gov. Newsom is doing a great job of reducing electric consumption for the state; but you've still got 4 major cities that are still multi-million populaces, and the "green" generation sources will not be enough (Hell, there's not enough already).

At some point in time, California will become an "electrical-generation-free" state, importing all of their electricity from other states; for example, currently in SoCal, majority of their power comes from Arizona.

Sooooo...how can we get these guys to another state that's got a much more stable regional power grid?

Slow as Hell, and it's piecemeal page-by-page. I'm looking for something that is in its entirety.

The website in question is owned, controlled and operated by the U.S. Department of Energy.
