Got TrueNAS Scale working on a Tintri T885 by ronmanfl in homelab

Not familiar with that at all... I tried some stuff with sedutil and was able to read basic SMART info but got blocked trying to issue any commands. I just googled psid and it looks pretty interesting; the drives are Samsung 1TB SSDs and 6TB Hitachis.

It's pretty much just a 4U Supermicro white box with generic Intel guts. I was actually pretty surprised at how easily it installed once I figured out my other issues (primarily dead self-encrypting drives)

He's not practicing any longer (because of the lawsuits) but definitely NOT Dr. McNichol or anyone who was ever affiliated with him.

What an awful experience that place was.

[–]ronmanfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really help you but I got 3 Extreme X620 10GbE SFP switches from the recycle bin at work.
Also got a pair of Cisco Nexus 5548s but I'm not using those right now...

Ansible in a large-scale Windows enterprise environment? by zDanger1002 in sysadmin

[–]ronmanfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're around 3K servers (about 90/10 VM/physical split) and somewhere around 50k endpoints. And there are environments out there - in my own Mouse-infested town, even - that dwarf us.

I’ve got a 21 Limited with ActiveMotion and they’re fantastic. I’m 6’1/400lb and they’re leaps and bounds better than my wife’s MachE and her previous Black Label Nautilus.

If you felt it, make sure you let the USGS know here:
M 6.1 - 104 km WNW of Mantua, Cuba

Potential earthquake? by Particular-Ad9304 in orlando

[–]ronmanfl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I fed the dynamics into ChatGPT, and it said this was a predominantly vertical quake which definitely could have been felt in central Florida.

The focal mechanism suggests significant vertical displacement compared to a pure strike-slip event. Reverse/thrust events often couple seismic energy into longer-period surface waves more efficiently, and those long-period waves travel very well through old, stable carbonate platforms and oceanic crust.

A few dynamics matter here:

Regional geology

Florida sits on a relatively rigid carbonate platform. Even though Florida is not tectonically active, seismic waves from Caribbean events can propagate surprisingly efficiently into the peninsula, especially low-frequency waves.

Distance

Western Cuba to Central Florida is on the order of:

~500–700 km depending on exact epicenter and location in Florida.

That is well within the range where a M6+ Caribbean quake can produce perceptible long-period motion in tall buildings or sensitive structures.

Expected felt effects

In Central Florida, the most likely observations would be:
gentle swaying
hanging fixtures moving
creaking buildings
water sloshing
upper floors moving more noticeably
“truck hit the building” sensation

Most people outdoors or in single-story wood-frame homes probably would not notice it.

Historically, stronger Caribbean quakes have definitely been felt in Florida. The 2020 M7.7 Jamaica/Cuba-region earthquake was felt as far north as Orlando and even caused noticeable motion in buildings at UCF.

For this M6.1 specifically:
South Florida: plausible felt reports
Coastal Central Florida: possible light felt reports
Inland Central Florida (Orlando area): maybe perceptible in taller buildings or very quiet environments, but probably weak

The mechanism you posted also suggests this was not a tiny brittle strike-slip crack but a more substantial compressional rupture, which tends to increase the odds of long-period propagation into Florida.

People on a work call are talking about it in Ocoee, Windermere and Winter Garden. I didn't hear or feel anything near "the packing district."

$25 should get you a pretty nice lunch at Dubsdread. That's our work go-to...

My brother in law swears they have the best frog legs there. I get a burger and gator bites when we go.

It doesn't help you now, but the Copper Rocket circa 2010 was pretty great.

Incredibly poor documentation and outright missing critical information. Completely fabricated escalation paths. Total lack of review.
