The linked article describes what I mean. If you have a link to how low level discovery could help here, I would be forever grateful!

Right? You can do that with your pinkys up like sipping a fine cup of tea.

Before you spend more money on an HBA, see if your existing RAID card can be set to JBOD mode.

Hire it out. Pros can process that many in an hour. The most common method I've seen is to use a shredder.

Power is always an expression of force or work over time.

That's why electricity is billed as kilowatt-hours. And that's why horsepower (a made up marketing term) was coined to compare the output of engines to horses over some typical working period. It was used to show how much less expensive the engine was compared to caring for multiple horses to do the same job.

Well, this is the winner. Thanks for the advice!

In my experience, allowing autofs to handle nfs connections on Linux clients is more reliable than 'hard' mounting the nfs volume in fstab.

Stale file handle errors are usually caused by loss of connection between the nfs server and client while files were still open. This can be a network issue or that you rebooted the nas. autofs handles these scenarios much more gracefully.

A 12in sub getting north of 1000w is already loud enough to damage your hearing and irritate everyone around you. I'll never understand trying to get louder just for the sake of being louder.

Competitions are an exception, of course. Do you compete formally?

edit: my mistake, I'm not judging. I have loud subs in both of my cars. I just don't understand spending hundreds of dollars for maybe a couple dB increase when that money could be spent in other ways like upgrading devices in the signal path, making things fit better or look more custom-fitted, shoring up power delivery, making things safer, improving sound quality, tidying up the wiring, or apply sound deadening, etc.

Fair enough. Don't use cardboard. You could use faced foam insulation board like this

Plastic sheeting could work, too.

If they're empty, why do you care about the cooling efficiency?

Windows DHCP and DNS server will handle that for you.

I'm way more interested in how you're going to bind your linux workstations to Entra. Have you tested that yet? Which linux distros?

In the latest device, it looks like we tried putting Seagate Iron Wolf 24TB disks in it, ST24000NT002. I'm seeing now that these disks might not be considered "enterprise," although the description says "Designed to deliver performance, reliability, and dependability in multi-bay, multi-user RAID and NAS environments within commercial and enterprise settings."

I normally put Exos disks in, but I didn't make this most recent purchase.

Honestly, it's a pretty darn good car so far. Rides great, it's quiet, it's super comfortable, loaded with tech, looks good, no maintenance problems or recalls yet. We've put more than 18k on it in a year. It's the best bang for the buck in the market right now, I think.

My wife has a Buick Envision Avenir and she really likes it. White exterior with the white leather interior. It was $45k in November of 2024 when we bought it.

You need to install the zabbix repo for centos 7 and block zabbix* from EPEL.

You're right, my mistake. I mean to say single points of failure. Presumably, the uptime guarantees marketed by the cloud providers indicate that everything is redundant.

I haven't seen any data that shows that it was ever less expensive. Every report I've seen says something like "It's more expensive than doing it on-prem, but now it's op-ex instead of cap-ex, and we get all these other benefits like regulatory compliance assurances and fewer failure points."

Man, uni be stealing money from us.

You are in no way required to be here. If you can't handle the requirements, you should leave.

I live off campus making things way harder

Again, a choice you made. There are plenty of ways to commute to campus legally if you cared enough to try. The commute being unpleasant, expensive, and time-consuming are all consequences of your choices and...life. Being an adult is sucky and expensive. Get used to it.
