Just saw that video about an historical figure of almost 300 years ago : From ~6 minutes in the video until the end, am I the only one to see similarities with a famous modern figure? Regarding your election and the result that will be marked as the end of modern democracies and the beginning...

Would that small PC do it for you, with a pair of 8TB M.2 drives? It uses between 7W and 10W idle. Lower-end than that, there's the Hardkernel's HC4. Assembly video here. Only 0.29W idle power.

I have not been rebuilding/supporting personal computers for the past eight years, but I remember using several of those tools back then. This list will be quite handy as a reference for a support professional.

I think that what's driving the schedule at AMD is the server market. They are so far ahead of what Intel offers at the moment that they don't need to hurry before introducing a new architecture. Zen5 server chips will be out in time to compete with Intel's Granite Rapids (6th gen Xeon), but...

I wish there would be a Zen5 CPU available now, but the 8840U is Zen4-based. It is clearly written on AMD's general specifications page.

I only consider on-line UPS to protect my equipment. AFAIK, line-interactive UPS won't properly protect against brown-outs. The cheapest models I can find are those : Eaton 9PX700RT Eaton 9PX1000RT APC SRT1000XLA The prices I see are in the order I placed them above. None are cheap, but I...

For those fortunate enough to work for a networking device manufacturer or a reseller, one tool that's quite useful to create network diagram is Intangi Iris. You can see a demo of the program when used to create a network with Ruckus (former Brocade switches) devices. Several other...

You draw network diagrams like coaches draw football plays :

So you think the only people who speak Swedish are vikings and the descendants of slaves they captured and brought back in the dark ages?

My sincere codolences, JTR. You will get through this.

My immediate question is: what tool and which hole? I know of many things that would fail if you'd push some kind of tool in a hole on their bottom...

What I don't like about most Intel processors since Tiger Lake is that their real power consumption can be much higher than their advertised TDP. In the case of the Core i9 185H, for instance, although the TDP rating is ~65W, the max power draw can climb up to 115W. That's insane. The AMD...

I only see the Micron 2450 that seems from a reputable manufacturer in that form factor. It is a budget drive. Smaller than that, there's the Kioxia BG6, which is a PCIe Gen4 drive that feature significantly higher advertized transfer rates and iops. It isn't a particularly fast drive, but all...

The new pricing for NVidia GPU have been leaked:

Happy New Year to you too David. It is sad to learn that your original project didn't succeed. I'm confident you'll find another job soon. Best of luck.

It's way cheaper to maintain railroads than it is to maintain roads for cars. A lot of cities in the U.S. have highways between them. Railroads would make more sense financially. If there is a public transit offer that is both fast and frequent, people will use it. Train stations should be...

You make a good point about the location of transit stations within the cities included in the network. It would be paramount to make sure those are well connected with the rest of the local transit system. Fortunately, it is a lot easier to find a spot for a train station (and even easier for...

I often read articles and watch videos about public transit these days. Examples: RM Transit City Beautiful B1M Simply Railway DownieLive A decade ago, I signed a petition in favor of of a high speed suspended monorail to serve the Quebec City to Montreal corridor. Back then, it was called...

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.
