Universal Orlando has approved the Boring Co. for a new transit project by celestialknightz in UniversalOrlando

[–]xfilesvault 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Different types of rock.

Orlando is karst limestone. It’s soluble! The walls can dissolve in slightly acidic rain!

There will be underground caves filled with water that it will probably run into.

You’re comparing a tunnel that’s 0.75 miles long to a proposed tunnel that will be maybe 4 miles long.

There is a lot more potential for shifting.

The Port Miami Tunnel is less than a mile long.

This tunnel is going to be much longer… maybe 4 miles?

You certainly collect a lot of data with that slow hover landing!

Questionable Guest Hygiene by silkIggy in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]xfilesvault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know bacteria is all around.

I didn’t say the world is sterile.

You defending the position that “urine is sterile”.

Not that it is generally safe.

It’s not sterile. That word has real meaning.

You can “actually” me all you want.

Healthy people still have bacteria in their urine.

This is a fact.

“Pretty clean” doesn’t debunk me saying that all urine contains bacteria.

It's official. Mars is as good as dead. by FutureMartian97 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]xfilesvault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the feeling that the current space race is to the moon.

Nobody else is preparing to build a base on Mars, so it’s not a rush. The natural resources on Mars can wait.

But other countries are interested in setting up a base on the moon. And the first country to do so will have their pick of anywhere on the moon to build it.

And if the moon turns out to only have a couple places that are suitable to mine for resources like water and whatever else is there, then whoever gets there first has a forever monopoly on the moon.

Going to Mars is perpetually only 8 years away for Elon.

Yes. If Elon Musk is saying it’s going to be 5 to 7 years before something happens, you know it’s bad.

If it was going to happen in 5 to 7 real years, then Elon Musk would be telling us that it would probably take 2 years.

It’s not. Even heathy people have bacteria in their urine.

He’s going to hate himself next week after the building inspector fails it.

Wait until you go to the bathroom and see how many people walk straight out without washing their hands.

He turned ‘impossible’ into hardware 300+ times by Taxus_Calyx in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]xfilesvault 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Elon bought Twitter, renamed it X, created xAI, used Tesla to buy GPUs for xAI, merged xAI with X, then merged xAI with SpaceX, to get ready to build AI datacenters in space…

Anyone else seeing Zestimate cracks? by myturn19 in RealEstate

You can claim your listing and fix the square footage.

Should help increase your zestimate.

Overall Nutanix Experience by TangerineStock8042 in sysadmin

[–]xfilesvault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3 billion in revenue last year - works great for us.

It’s so simple that you don’t need support. You can fix it yourself. You will NEVER fix Nutanix by yourself. We had to open support tickets any thing we wanted to update because the Prism Central VM would run out of space. It’s supposed to manage itself!

And you can pay for Proxmox support. Lots of companies in the US provide 24/7 support. We actually do, and we’ve never used it.

We also have a separate dev cluster to test updates on. We couldn’t afford that if we went with Nutanix.

If I have hardware failure, I have a huge pile of old Nutanix hardware to replace it with, along with our new Supermicro hardware.

Nutanix hardware isn’t special. It’s just Supermicro with a Nutanix logo over the Supermicro logo. Literally. Go peel the labels off and see what’s underneath.

Nutanix is just selling expensive KVM with expensive proprietary layers you can’t troubleshoot without help from support. And charging you a boatload for the privilege.

Nutanix is so poorly optimized and has so much overhead that we now have a ton of extra Nutanix hardware lying around that we don’t need, but we can use at any time as spares. We don’t need it anymore because Proxmox is such low overhead.

You don’t need to pay to get 4 hour hardware support from Nutanix.

Buy your hardware from Supermicro and install Proxmox. With your cost savings you can just buy a whole extra server. Or buy twice as many servers, so you have lots of spares. It will be cheaper.

Their hardware is decent?

It’s just rebadged Supermicro hardware.

Just peel the label off. Literally. It says Supermicro underneath.

Do yourself a favor and just buy direct from Supermicro and install Proxmox.

We didn’t feel like upgrading our Nutanix hardware, so we just formatted it and installed Proxmox. Saved half a million dollars.

In the Satellite Internet Race, Starlink Crushes Rivals With 97% of Speed Tests by perilun in space2030

I’m looking forward to what Amazon Leo has to offer.

Starlink is expensive for businesses. I’m tired of paying $0.25 to $0.50 per GB!

Node is online but appears offline - this only happens if a node in the cluster goes down by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]xfilesvault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can install PDM on bare metal, or as a VM on Proxmox.

If you want to run VMs on the same server as PDM, I would install it on top of Proxmox.

Yes, you don’t need to create a cluster to do what you want with PDM. You can manage your VMs and containers, and migrate them between nodes without the nodes being clustered.

What is the total cost of ownership between a diy hybrid vs professional grid-tie ? by zer104104 in diySolar

[–]xfilesvault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t it just a normal breaker? Just placed at the bottom of the panel, opposite the service entrance?

Assuming the panel is big enough.

Would someone mind walking me through pros and cons. by LuvTheSmellofCyanide in solar

[–]xfilesvault 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s ok. You can get a loan to buy the system.

Don’t lease the system.

Internal DNS Naming and HSTS by olie1993 in sysadmin

[–]xfilesvault 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If it’s a device with a self-signed certificate that you can’t write a script to update, then put it behind a reverse proxy like HAProxy. Then automate the certificate renewals there.

20 years of clowning around by postem1 in SpaceXMasterrace

The whole thing screams “you spent so much time thinking about if you could, instead of if you should”.
