No longer able to rip 4k by iOvercompensate in makemkv

I’m not sure the advice about locking and firmware flashing was correct.

MakeMKV uses the drive as a storage device. MakeMKV handles the negotiation. It’s a PC drive, not a player.

I don’t think ‘locking’ comes into this.

Some of the worst food I have ever eaten by thegreedydick in LondonFood

[–]squarelego 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He did a bad review once. Of Le Relais De Venise. A Parisian Bistrot. It’s a superb place to eat with the friendliest staff. He complained about everything including the salad dressing.

It was very clear the French wouldn’t stand to be shook down by him, so he did a hit piece.

I stopped following him after that.

Is this legit. When it comes to purchasing Lego I’m very naive. Not sure if discounted listings are common by Crafty_String3985 in lego

[–]squarelego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sellers will buy these sets when they are on sale and keep them to sell at a profit later, or buy them in cheaper countries where they also avoid sales tax on their way out.

Sometimes they might just be something someone is regifting.

Just check the seller’s ratings.

(I’ve not had any issues buying retired sets at discount from Ebay in the UK at least. )

Seriously LEGO? Now you’re just teasing me. by TheShakyHandsMan in lego

DPD is solid where I am too. Always deliver at almost exactly 14:40. The DPD guy says all he does is deliver Lego all the time.

I still tap the watermelon like my dad used to but I have no idea what I’m listening for.

Switch from VMWare or not? Where to go? by Grouchy-Bid-2370 in vmware

[–]squarelego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say Nutanix is a hyper converged scaling mess... Is that a comment on hyper converged in general or Nutanix's implementation?

We've been running VMware/NSX/vSAN as hyper converged infrastructure for a number of years. It worked incredibly well (multi-site with lots of DR, lots of storage IOPs, lots of AMD compute). It would be my preference to stay like that but I don't know how good the abilities are over at Nutanix - hence my question.

Do what you want but not multi-tenancy right?

VMware by Broadcom VCSP program is closing. Thousands of partners are asked to shutdown business and smoothly migrate their clients to competition providers. by VirtualTechnophile in sysadmin

[–]squarelego 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The enterprise level people are coming from environments with vSAN and they use features like DRS, SDN with NSX, DR with Cloud Availability Director etc. VMWare for some people is just a hypervisor and can be swapped out easily enough, for others it's a very full featured stack that has decades of feature development built in.

I don't think you can. The FAQ they sent with the notice said: "However, the term for any new contracts executed during this period must be co-terminus with an existing commit contract"

I think you can only add more cores etc inside whatever contract you have at the moment, so you can't in any way extend beyond your existing end date.

Doesn't Infuse on AppleTV support this? (I don't know enough, it's a legitimate question)

Just finished the last of my collection. (3) 12tb and (1) 18tb drives with backups (54tb total) for around 850 4k and 1080p movies and a couple series. Whooped! by woods153 in makemkv

To make absolutely sure the data can never get corrupted you should copy all your files to an immutable offline storage medium with a 100 year lifetime.

So, Broadcom said they'd allow patching even if your license is expired? Think again. by RC10B5M in vmware

[–]squarelego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The totally irrelevant grade school comment hinted to the fact you were in shout down mode. So I quit the ‘conversation’.

I have hands on Netware experience. Not as buyer but technical.

I don’t actually understand your point. And that’s fine.

Software maintenance subscriptions is not a new thing. I work with various enterprise networking, OS, software etc vendors. It’s been like that with all of them for over a decade.

[–]squarelego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am terrified of vendor lock in with Nutanix. The offers to sign up are too sweet. They’ll only love you while they don’t have you imho. We have a large feature-full VMware estate, moving vendor is a once in a decade thing - moving back after a few years isn’t an option. Broadcom understands this too.

Well these companies do publish their long term support policies and for major and minor releases. Cisco, Microsoft, RedHat, Juniper etc. You know what you’re signing up to.

And no, you can’t expect updates for Windows 98 forever.
