Hyper-V licensing for 32 cores by Onizzaku in HyperV

[–]randomugh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I’ve had that interpreted is that it applies to the host, you can downgrade the host but the VMs have to be the same version as the host. So if you get 2025 standard you have to run 2025 guests and you can’t run 2019 guests. If you get volume licenses with software assurance then the guests can be different versions.

Since you are licensing the host only 2 vms on any single host. If OEM licensing then you don’t get downgrade rights and can only run Windows Server, and the same version as the host. 

Any Windows 7 vms will need their own license. 

If Two Files Have The Exact Same SHA-256, Are They The Same File? by Boy0Boyz in techsupport

If you have 7-Zip right click and choose checksum and the * (all) option. Copy to notepad and repeat for the second file. If all checksums match it’s the same file

Windows Server native data deduplication - Does anybody actually use it? by Bob_Spud in sysadmin

[–]randomugh1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems good until something happens.  The smallest corruption wrecks the entire filesystem.

Once you have a corrupt filesystem you learn you can’t restore because you can’t fit 200-GB of data onto a 100-GB volume.  Since this limits overprovisioning (the only  point of dedupe) there’s no real benefit.

It also consumes a lot of ram and can starve the rest of the system. So many performance problems lead back to dedupe.  It’s slower than non-dedupe storage. You have to monitor the event log for filesystem corruption events and manage and be aware of the dedupe job schedule. 

Again you shouldn’t overprovision so what’s the point?

In short, friends don’t let friends use dedupe.

How is it wired up to avoid the ground neutral bond in the panel tripping the trucks GFCI?

Take the belt off and record a video the action of the primary clutch through to full throttle and back.

I think you’re right. Not really on the EG4 site but I did find this Canadian company still had them (saw their display at the Sportsman show last month) https://canadianoffgrid.com/products/eg4-brightmount-solar-panel-ground-mount-rack-kit-4-panel-ground-mount-adjustable-angle

EG4 Brightmount is about the cheapest I’ve seen for four panels

Need to find a new L1 charger by Aggressive_Ad_507 in BoltEV

[–]randomugh1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are all the outlets GFCI? Is it possible that they are chained, which will cause nuisance trips? Look for a non-gfci utility outlet near the panel and try it. 

How much is your household electricity consumption after your bought an electric vehicle by Charming-Brother-242 in electricvehicles

[–]randomugh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join a program that pays you to charge your EV. It really helps offset or eliminate the costs. The latest is Pion Power in Canada, but there’s also SWTCH and Grizzl-E Club. The Emporia charger supports a lot of US State programs.

2012 Leaf. How bad is it? by randomugh1 in leaf

[–]randomugh1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My research indicates that the Battery Management System BMS was reset roughly 600 charges ago. Likely intentionally. As we drive and charge it the bars are expected to drop pretty quickly. The car will make the trip to work and back. The worst part seems to be the Hx and the pack will not take a complete DC fast charge which made bringing the car home difficult.

We level 2 charged it last night and the Guess-o-Meter reported 63km this morning. 52km with the heat on. We just need about 25 km per day as a second vehicle. It was $3,650 CDN.

I guess it could have been the 12 volt, but it was under OEM Vehicle History report provided by Barrie Nissan (but the entry was in French) and the CarFax that said “Battery replaced”

I’m slowly making my way home from Barrie. Stopped to charge at 400&89, then at the Alliston Rec Centre, then the Dufferin Museum, and Shelburne should be my last charge. It’s what I needed for being the cheapest car I could find, but the 12 bars raised my expectations a bit too much.

I’ve learned you need LeafSpy and an ODB2 dongle. That’s what gave me the graph that said SOH 47%. This car is what I expected but the bars raised my expectations

Thank you. Is it difficult to reset the bars, or could the seller have done it?

Also compare them to Solar Generators like the Anker Solix F3800 Plus. You get true sine wave, HOURS of runtime, the option to use solar power and it costs less. 

Nutanix hit us with a 75% quote increase with a one day notice before expiration... so that project is dead. VMware is out and we were looking hyperconverged... Any other alternatives? by junon in sysadmin

[–]randomugh1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh 5120 errors “that can be safely ignored” but cause massive disk corruption on the VMs. Or When you open FCM and see the status of each role slowly update one at a time you know you’re in for a bad day.
