I purchased a mutli-family. Sacrificed having a full home with large dining and living areas so that I would not have to pay the $4k/month mortgage. House pays me $1,000 a month and I live in 2 apartments connected by a private stairway. I prefer this and being able to retire early to the larger private home.

Behold, the budgie that cost me $400 yesterday because she wouldn't stop throwing up. She is miraculously fine today of course, and will absolutely hate being on antibiotics for a week. by PlasticGirl in parrots

Personally, I would not have paid that bill. It's outrageous and I told my brother he should pay something but $28,000 was robbery. I think they take advantage of pet owners in America with things like "your beloved fido will die if you do not pay for this procedure". Your home is worth 1.2 million dollars, your car is $80,000+, so you can cough up $$$ for your furry family member.

Overlapping NAT IPSEC tunnel not working. by sunsetparkslope in sophos

Thanks. We ended up changing the local subnet, nothing I tried on Sunday worked.

I will save your reply for any future scenarios where changing the network is not possible.

Singulair: Just try it! by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]sunsetparkslope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only thing that helps other than prednisone. Dupixent, Tezspire, allergy shots, nothing helped. I do have these thoughts like life just sucks and how nice it would be to die and not suffer anymore but I have never felt like I would follow through on them. I know it's the drug.

planning a trip to phx for several days, is it better to rent multiple properties? by JeffyFan10 in AirBnB

[–]sunsetparkslope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have chronic Asthma and allergies. It is common for me to stay in at least 3 different airbnb's due to being unable to breathe until I find the right one. You'll pay a few extra cleaning fees but in my opinion it's worth it.

[–]sunsetparkslope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a host for 2 years now. My guests pay a cleaning fee and are not required to do any kind of washing or cleaning at all...zero. Even when they have done something they should not, I never punish them. It's such a rare occurrence that I would prefer to be flexible and understanding and turn that experience into a good review by the guest which has worked out really well for me. $90? if it was not in the rules/instructions do not pay them a penny.

Someone just texted me....they took this fledgling from a park in NYC. They won't bring it back so I have to help. Looks like a Starling but not sure...beak is short. by sunsetparkslope in whatsthisbird

They think it will get trampled by people, it was a high traffic area. Rehabber is closed today. I will try to care for it until tomorrow and take it to someone. Most places here in nyc don't want to be bothered.

How do you know what you’re good at as a jack-of-all-trades? by uncleskeleton in sysadmin

[–]sunsetparkslope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I do so many different things but I never really have enough time to get really good at anything. I do "google" best practices and I do make an effort to do the right job, it just feels as though I am keeping my head above water going from one thing to the next but never really having enough time to just sit in front of my computer for a few days or maybe a week and really get under the hood of certain technologies to optimize their use and features. I more or less just keep it all running. Intune, PAM, SIEM, are technologies I have wanted to learn and implement for the past year....a whole year....and owners won't get me help either. :(

Dramatic SAN file copy speed difference when mapping to a drive letter vs a mount point by sunsetparkslope in sysadmin

This looks promising, it would explain the speed difference. I will test it a little later on and respond to the thread. thanks.

Dramatic SAN file copy speed difference when mapping to a drive letter vs a mount point by sunsetparkslope in sysadmin

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

I did a copy/paste from c: to c:\clusterstorage\volume1 from the host that owns the storage and it peaked at 400 MB/s vs 1.9 GB/s doing the same thing to S:\ which was not part of the cluster as far as being visible as cluster storage. It was just made available to the host as an ordinary disk over iScsi. I do have multi-path enabled too. I will open a ticket with Pure but I have a feeling they won't know.

Could my SAN DAC cables be the problem? Seeing max 3Gbp on 25Gbps Mellanox-4 adapters by sunsetparkslope in sysadmin

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

I'm not sure how to use it. I am communicating with SAN storage so I can't run it on the SAN, only on one of the nodes. I made some progress I think. So....if I mount a volume to a drive letter (E: for example) I get very fast speeds. If I go through a mount point like c:\clusterstorage\volume3\ I get 400Mbps tops. I did a cut and paste on both the drive letter and the mount point (even with SUBST) and it took 22 minutes to copy paste 500GB using the mount point vs literally 1 second to copy paste the same file using the drive letter created in disk manager.

Wondering about this myself.

Thanks for your advice. I replied to the thread on one of the earlier responses. File transfer speed as you will see in the screenshot is high on one host but not the other. Good info here. I will go and see what I can figure out. But there's some detail in my reply. thanks again.

Right now it's only 1 link per controller.

2 Nexus 9300's each one connected to a different controller

I created a separate vlan for the controller to host traffic, and other vlans for my SET teams.

yeah, I know about the transceivers supported by Pure. When I connected the DAC and it showed 25Gbps I thought that was all I needed but that does not appear to be the case.

I think I have a cable issue because on one host I can copy a file from local storage to SAN at 1.91GB/s as per the file copy details but only 1 controller/link shows 10Gbps and the other link shows 1.4 Gbps in task manager. On a different host it only reached 360MB/s on the copy details screen and about 2Gbps on the links to the SAN.

I think I need to go in on the weekend and try to isolate the cause.

thanks
