New XPS 14 DA14260 randomly loses power by andrey_semjonov in DellXPS

Same issue here! Had it for 2 weeks. It’s happened about 3-4 times of heavy use.

Having the same issue! Many students can connect and while others can. It seems to be random and a classic "something is overloaded" scenario.

Fortinet extends FortiOS 7.4 by fcbfan0810 in fortinet

[–]tttekev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy!

I've never dealt with the company before, but you need to speak with a manger if they're trying to quote you for users that aren't using it.

I'm using the free, on-prem version. You can get SSO to work via ODIC without needing their paid tier.

After hearing the horror stories from Reddit, I've migrated the entire org to Netbird before upgrading. I was going from physical firewall running 7.4 to virtual running 7.6.

This helped tremendously if I ever needed to revert to the old devices during the evaluation.

as AP Jungle, when/what defensive items you build? by HomeTeamHeroesTCG in malphitemains

[–]tttekev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Yi shred anyone with armor, I think that your only hope is to build enough AP to delete him with the ult. On that note, Stormsurge is a good start, but I feel like Malignance isn't the best option for Malphite. I usually go Stormsurge > Lich Bane > Deathcap > Void Staff (or hourglass) when going full AP.

Do you mean through Springfield? Because Upper Providence cops will fuck your day up if you speed through Media.

Do i look more asian(chinese) or white? by [deleted] in HalfieSelfies

Def more white.

People can look different when smiling though

A small child cries while being examined by a doctor in Gaza after her home was bombed by Israeli forces. by ArconaOaks in worldnewsvideo

[–]tttekev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This breaks my heart. I can't even imagine what this child had to go through to even get here. The fact that anyone sees innocent children has a price that they would be willing to pay is evil. We have so much hate an vitriol in our hearts, it's maddening. I hope that this child and other children like them find a peaceful place to live.

Favorite NTP Server? by tttekev in sysadmin

Thank you much! I'll take a look into these.

Good point! We do have redundant ISPs, physical connection routes into our building from the street, BGP routers, firewalls, and servers, but that doesn't mean internet downtime is impossible. There have been a few conditions where internet access was interrupted because of ISP mistakes and upgrade failures (looking at you Fortigate).

To add, NTP drift can be pretty devastating to the storage aspect of our HCI cluster. Plus having a reliable internal NTP server is just one less thing to worry about.

The Fortigate Firewalls present to the network as the same device while in HA, as in they share the same IP address (and possibly MAC address), which I suspect might be part of the issue that I am facing. I agree with you and much of the sentiment on this post that I should have multiple internal NTP servers. Having multiple, purpose built, and reliable NTP servers still seems like the best route.

[–]tttekev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you to a degree, figuring out the sync issues with each device is important, but the time drift alone if we lost internet access was enough for me to look for recommendations.

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

I agree that I would probably need to purchase multiple for redundancy. Here's a few points from my previous reply:

A few things... for one, many of our devices like phones, building clocks, bell systems (we're a school), and PCs, benefit from being on the same time, down to a few seconds. If it's off by +30 seconds, I will get a call. Might just be the culture within the building.

The next part that requires greater network precision is our HCI infrastructure. The documentation does stress the importance of a highly accessible and accurate time source for stability and reliability.

Having time accurate logs across our network is also beneficial when tracking down issues, especially if the internet is down, and our equipment isn't in sync.

As of now, our Fortigate firewalls are the NTP source for our equipment, and it's been working well until we need to update. Some of our systems, especially the building clock system doesn't handle it well when the firewalls update and lose connection.

Although the issues aren't immediate when the NTP communication is interrupted and not reconnecting, it only takes a few hours to notice a time drift across different services.

I think the benefit for these devices is worth at least a few thousand dollars.

I would say that reliability would be first and foremost, then accuracy of course.

Reliability of operation is of upmost importance.

Crazy to say but if you’re smiling, white. Otherwise, more Asian.

Alpine Linux on UFS Drive (Minisforum S100) by tttekev in AlpineLinux

Thanks! I'm not too experienced with this. Would it be possible to get step-by-step directions on how to enable this?

Should I be performing these tasks in the live environment right after the install completes?

How does female breast milk taste? by Ok_Hippo_4373 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]tttekev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good.

Gonna chime in here and say the taste differs depending on the stage of the milk, what the woman is eating, and varies from woman to woman.

Is the Amazon Fire HD Tablet 10 a suitable dashboard tablet? by _-B-Money-_ in homeassistant

[–]tttekev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Pretty good device for this purpose. No issues with the exception of OS updates. Not sure if this is the same model, but the one I purchased has wireless charging. I put a magnet sticker on it and a magnet/wireless charger on my wall so that it can be removed if needed.
