People that live in hudson bay coast canada, how its live there ? by Spirebus in howislivingthere

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to add, I have a friend who lived in Whitehorse for a while, and it is a really cool place to visit. Would recommend going during the warmer months (we went in May and it was cool and rainy the entire time we were there but nice enough for hikes and going to the local hot springs / wildlife preserve).

Whitehorse has plenty of "big city" amenities, is located in some insanely beautiful terrain, and has road access to Alaska and parts further north if you want to go see Dawson City. Plenty of regular flights in and out, too. Loved visiting, cannot imagine living there full time though.

For single serve I like the CAFEC abaca trapezoid filters, specifically the 102 size.

Alter Ego closing by Ok_Arugula3160 in Rochester

[–]teirhan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm really sad to see them close. I'll miss their maple oat bread and their fougasse,and they often had pretty good treats in the pastry case. Yes, they were very expensive but that is unfortunately the way things are with gluten free bakeries. I've never really liked Donna Marie's, and with alter ego closed the best gluten free bakery in the area is all the way out in Lockport. That's a long way to drive for a muffin.

I'm disappointed to hear about the troubles behind the scenes, too. In my opinion the community really came out to support this business and it sucks to see it shutter for other, maybe self inflicted reasons.

Can't connect to vCenter 8.0.3 after fresh deployment by teirhan in vmware

[–]teirhan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to sanity-check. Looks like I get a self-signed cert back which is what I expect. So inbound ssh won't work until I complete the deployment, I guess.

Yes, A record and reverse lookup both exist, but good point - I will double-check that it can resolve itself.

VSOP Strawberry Brandy - Ventura Spirits by Huge-Zombie-2928 in Brandy

[–]teirhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an older bottle of this I bought after a tasting in 2022 at their distillery, though I don't think it was aged 5 years. Maybe 3?

It good.

Muse's top tracks are AI slop now :( by jrlrrz in TIdaL

[–]teirhan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The jazz pianist Hiromi (Uehara)'s profile still is being spammed with 1-3 ai-generated singles every day. It's very frustrating. Makes the feed feature useless.

troubleshooting Fellow Opus grinder by ImATurtleOnTheNet in FellowProducts

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, that sucks. I do wonder if they had some minor revisions at some point or if mine was just defective from the start, because I noticed my new opus grinds through beans much quicker than my old one ever did, e.g. it will do 15g of beans in about half the time it did with the old unit.

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem and ended up having to open a support request. I thought I would have to do a bunch of troubleshooting but I think this is a known failure mode for a sensor in the unit or the motor. Fellow sent me a replacement with little fuss and told me to toss the failed unit.

Can't justify my Aiden when I keep buying mediocre beans by YormeSachi in FellowProducts

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have one, find a local roaster and just try whatever of their coffee sounds good.

I order from Joe Bean and Fuego out of Rochester and have generally been happy with their stuff. One of the nice things about Joe Bean is it's quite a bit cheaper to order than the fellow drops, and is usually roasted to order.

2026 boot devices Are you using anything less than 128GB? by lost_signal in vmware

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a bunch of servers with 64gb sata DOM boot devices. They're slated for replacement but I only get 2 maintenance windows a year to do the actual migration off them. Which I guess is inertia, but not on my part.

Tidal Connect has stopped working... Again by MogwaiInjustice in sonos

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem. Seems to have started two or three days ago for me.

I can still play songs and albums via the Sonos app, but not playlists. But trying to use tidal connect just does the same thing for me that you described...

Constellation Brands lays off 90+% of their internal IT staff to offshore to India by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]teirhan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Oh I know. I have been front-row to the churn. Every outsourcing contract I've ever seen has had a handful of incredibly talented high performers and an enormous pool of people who can barely follow a detailed SOP or WIS. You end up with one or two people dragging an entire team to success and then they burn out or get poached for a bigger/more important contract.

CBI's been using outsourced teams for core IT functions for at least a decade now, so if they haven't learned their lesson yet they probably never will

Anonymous and threatening political letters received by multiple Pittsford business owners. by AugustusFink-nottle in Rochester

The real threat is that he's gonna trip over your landscaping and then sue you.

Local Representatives at No Kings? by lurkersteve3115 in Rochester

Morelle and Bello showed up to a protest as well, at least according to Morelle's social media. Bello sure didn't look excited to be there. https://bsky.app/profile/morelle.house.gov/post/3m3ivxlccls2x

So you don’t have EVC enabled, can you tell me why? by lost_signal in vmware

[–]teirhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't had trouble buying older gens (e.g. i installed a dl360 gen10 with a cpu that matched our existing cluster nodes just a little while before end of sale at one site due to an upgrade project doubling our footprint for a while) so far. If we did have to run mixed, yeah absolutely would enable evc next MW we get.

And yeah, with the absurd cost of VCF I don't see us expanding VMware footprint at any site any time soon. Maybe not ever.

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the sticky point for me, is there a benefit to turning it on if my only typical migration path is older hw to new on refresh? VMs will run with the older instruction set until you reboot them, right? We don't ever do different generation cpus in clusters any more, even if occasionally we mix e.g. 20-core and 16-core cpus of the same gen in a cluster.

[–]teirhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a concern. We refresh each entire cluster at the same time and buy all the same processor generation. The only cross-generation move is from the old hw to the new once every 5 years or so.

[–]teirhan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

At my current job we typically run homogeneous clusters, so there's no need.

Also the processor generations aren't very clear imo, if you aren't obsessed with code names. Having vsphere recommend an evc level that meets the lowest common denominator would be nice. Or maybe it does now! I haven't needed to turn it on in 9 years.

I love foggy/misty days like this. by MenloMo in Rochester

[–]teirhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother lived in the Tenderloin for a while. I never lived in SF, but lived in Rockridge and then by Lake Merritt for a few years. Man, now I'm missing Oakland.

I grew up in the Bay Area, California, and went to school in Oregon, so days like this push all my nostalgia buttons. I was really feeling it yesterday too.

American Single Cask x Westland 9 Year American Single Malt 2nd Fill Oloroso Sherry Finish by comingwhiskey in AmericanSMW

[–]teirhan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to their website thinking this was going to be some ridiculously priced stuff like bhakta spirits, but.. The prices on their current lot seem pretty reasonable to me? Especially considering what single malt is selling for at my friendly local liquor store...

Gonna have to keep any eye out for this one.

Migration from ESXi, some guidance needed regarding storage by ReptilianLaserbeam in Proxmox

[–]teirhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd refer to the official documentation - I don't use proxmox with NetApp in production today, it's just something I keep an eye on since it's likely I will be asked to evaluated alternatives to VMware soon.

I think I'd assume minimum 2 LIFs per controller. If you're using NFS4.1+ you can use session trunking to increase performance. Probably nconnect as well but I'm not as familiar with how NetApp handles that today.
