I suspect it has more to do with attention deficit while doing the laundry.

I didn't start the thread for a project with a particular customer. Intune is for something unrelated to SDS. I was helping Sedrosken to derail my own thread... However, I have a customer with a need to simplify, modernize and enhance its current IT infrastructure. I did look at Dell...

I'll have to look at Intune for a customer soon. It could help simplify the management of their assets. I'm not very familiar with it.

It's not in stock yet, but advertised at 631U$.

The thing with Azure and AWS is that the price includes a level of redundancy and versatility that would otherwise be unachievable for a small customer. If the company's management assesses that it doesn't need a very high level of availability for it's IT services and/or that it won't need the...

Atomoxetine; I've learned a new word! Thanks.

There are a lot of SDS solutions out there. What's your favorite and why? Listing a few : https://www.beegfs.io/c/ https://longhorn.io/ https://openebs.io/docs/concepts/mayastor https://min.io/ https://www.quantum.com/en/products/file-and-object/ (still in development)...

I don't know for Canada, but in Québec it's 100km/h.

For my part, I almost always charge my personal vehicle at home on a 120V outlet. It takes almost 3 days to fully recharge when the battery is completely empty, but I don't drive much or often, so I can wait. This wouldn't be feasible with a commercial vehicle though. However, just using a...

It was comical and reminded me that you had the same issues many years ago. I didn't mind.

Thanks Mooner for the explanation about DDrueding... I was more looking for post #18526 and #18532 of this thread, but your "unconventional" links motivated me to search for the correct source.

I was browsing the forum to see what I missed in the past 6 years. David Drueding is in Denmark now? It's apparently a great place to live, but it must be quite a change from the U.S. How hard is it to learn Danish? Bought a car or always riding a bike, like JTR?

I read that Rivian is going to offer the electric van it sells to Amazon for 83,000$ to mainstream buyers. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45783032/rivian-electric-cargo-van-fleet-sales/ It seems like a particularly bad value when compared to the Canoo MPDV, which starts at 33,000$ with a...

Is there a reason you use OpenVPN, which is notably bloated, instead of Wireguard? Also, did you configure pfSense to use Surricata or Snort to inspect your traffic?

Thanks

The guy with the blow torch looks a lot like Howard Marks from Vast Data

Well, I wrote "a gentler way than what I usually do". Of course I destroy my drive using a 12lbs sledgehammer. Mooner wanted a less drastic mean.

I didn't know I shared my name with a musician. I was there first as he looks way younger than me. Regarding the original post by Mooner, a gentler way to destroy the drive than what I usually do would be to microwave it.

Indeed, I'm not dead yet. And although it took me 3 tries, I remembered my password after ~6 years of absence, so I'm not senile yet either.

You're a little man. A very little man.

You seem confused. AMD rolled out their 300 series chipset well before Intel launched their own. The idiots, if idiots there are, are on Intel's marketing team.

Few people speak French in Toronto's area. It's in Ontario, Canada. It isn't in Québec. We have an office near Toronto and out of ~20 employees, only two are able to communicate in French and it isn't their main language.

Currently drinking a beer called La Vache Folle (the Crazy Cow). It's a milk stout. It's actually quite good.

BTW, locally, the SATA version of the Seagate Enterprise Capacity Helium 12TB drive is slightly cheaper than either the Barracuda Pro or the Ironwolf Pro at similar capacity. The choice seems obvious.

Your link works for me. It must be an accident.

305U$ for a 16-port SFP+ switch from Latvia. Stock too. Microtik's transceivers are also quite affordable. I linked it in the Home NAS thread a few weeks ago.

Buy this drive and this adapter. Follow the instructions in this video to know how to install it. Finally, you must absolutely click on that link.

They are in the case fans, memory modules, motherboards and graphic cards. I don't own such a system, but when I'll eventually upgrade my aging tower, I'd like to be able to do so with ending up with a disco ball sitting on my desk.

I'm quite sick of all the RGB light rage in computer components these days. Is it too much to ask from a computer that it doesn't look like a gay pride parad when it's on? Besides looks, it's a waste of energy for no useful purpose at all.

I wouldn't either. Use it as-is and then move on.

The 2.5" NVMe drives have been available for 2 or 3 years now. They are significantly cheaper than SAS SSD (although often faster), but don't expect consumer-like prices either. Expect ~1$/GB for the write-intensive models (Intel DC P4600, Micron 9100MAX, etc) and 0.50$-0.70$/GB for...

They own the domain name of your former e-mail. What were you expecting? If what you want to do was easily feasible, we would all be victims of man-in-the-middle hacks. E-mails wouldn't be even remotely reliable.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll see what I can get locally* and at what price. * More often than not, Amazon.com doesn't ship to Québec and selection from Amazon.ca is more limited than the U$ version. Prices on the Canayan site are also higher, even after figuring out currency...

It has fanless operation up to 40°C.

There's a thread about it at STH's forums. One of the members got one.

Microtik's 16xSFP+ fanless switch. Dual PSU, L3, 400U$ MSRP, but you can pre-order at ~300U$.

I might opt for their 3-channel model. Reading back the beginning of the thread, Mercutio wrote that a center speaker significantly improves the listening experience. I'd like to have the option. So it would be better to get a receiver, plug the receiver to the amp and then plug the speakers...

I need something that will receive the audio signal from a source (TV, computer, USB stick, whatever) and push it to a pair of Paradigm speakers. Ideally not too expensive but still capable of sending high-quality audio to the speaker towers. If I'm not clear enough, then I guess I just need...

Are Emotiva X Series a great value or overhyped? Need a good amplifier to feed a pair of Paradigm Prestige RF-85 tower speakers. Knowing that speakers makes a far greater difference than the amp in overall sound quality, I don't want to go mad on the amp. I probably could just opt for a...

Length of cables will also affect what's best for you. also, there're two kind of copper cables for +10Gbps connections: 10Gbase-T and DAC cables. 10Gbase-T is your standard NTP cable with an RJ45 connector. Depending on the wire standard, you can connect devices up to 37m to 100m with those...

Facebook.

I'd rather not eat food cook in a plastic bag. Plastic particles tend to be transfered in the food when heated and are supposed to increase chances to dvelop cancer. Taste might be great, but I'll pass. I probably do a lot of other things that are bad for my health, but I avoid what I'm aware...

For home and most offices, unshielded networking cables are fine, since there isn't that much electrical interference in those environments. Shielded cables are more often used in industrial environment where cables pass thru zones with strong electrical fileds (motors, high-voltage cables...

I can no longer find the Köstritzer here. I've almost exclusively switched to local microbreweries, with the exception of a few Belgian Trappist beers. There are hundreds of local varieties and quite a few are excellent.

You can only get so far on bike in a day...

Here's one genius who didn't miss it : Apparently, he also thinks the blindness risk of looking directly at an eclipse is a chinese hoax.

I don't even know why I still try clicking on the links in your posts.

You Aussies give way too much money to your children.

Contrarily to early reports, AMD's Vega isn't such a great miner afterall. Disappointing.

Up until I've read the review on our former home, I did not realize that 2.4TB 10K SFF mechanical drives existed. They are available for sale too. About one third the price per GB compared to enterprise SSD. For mechanical drives, they perform well. Compared to SSD...not so much. Useful to...
