I've hurt my lower back at the gym, doing chest fly, go figure. No matter what my real age is, I'm officially 85 until I heal. That what I look like everytime I lift my ass from a chair, anyway.

Maybe once in a while, but 10$ per person per meal is too expensive for me. My 21 weekly meals cost me more around 140$ per week. That's including restaurants. And I eat big portions (due to my training).

I'm mostly quiet, but certainly not unassuming. However, it's easier to show confidence at my age than at yours.

Confirmed : VMWare is affected. Not particularly happy to be a network administrator right now. Edit : But ESXi doesn't seem to be affected. That's what we've used most of the time. Phew.

I thought ZFS was dog-slow on anything else than Solaris/Open Indiana. Chewy must have written about this sometime in the last few years.

Hmmm...so ESXi must be affected to. We have several setups running on this at many customers' locations. All the servers I maintain at the office run on Server 2012 R2, so I'm clear on this one. Except my two VM that only crunch FAH units. I'll update them during the week-end if a fix...

If you look at the stats, both my production and Handruin's have been falling. My servers don't seem to get big units anymore. Something similar must happen to the GPU client since Handruinis affected too. I haven't been checking Stanford's forum, but there must be an answer there somewhere.

You beat me, but not by much. I left work at 3h45am this morning (Sunday). I had to untangle the network connections of our patch panels to the switches. Of course, this has to be done during off hours, when no one's working (except me). I've started at 9pm last evening. It was a real mess...

Did I ever write that I love classical music. Never mind the French language, just clic on play.

Sedrosken appeared in the stats and Pradeep resumed his contribution after an almost two years hiatus (last unit came in October 2012).

That was only the case for a few country boys. That wasn't the reality of children living in urban areas back then. I've had to walk around 5 miles in the snow every morning back when I was an early teenager, but it was because I delivered the news paper. I've never had to walk more than two...

That is my question as well. I might lose my two DL380p any day now (it might be Monday like it might be in three months), but my contribution is doomed to fall drastically. I'll need something else to replace them. One or two GTX 970 probably won't equal the 20-core servers, but it should...

We're still officially in Summer and at the moment, it's 0°C outside. We expect -1°C during the night. Last time it was this cold on that day of the year was in 1959.

My boss before that was all eager to show us his new iPhone one day. He tried to show us the voice recognition feature on his "smart phone", but the little junk never obeyed a single of his orders. After a few trials, I told him : "Wow, your phone is trully smart! It knows you're a boss, so...

I wouldn't mind to be a manager, but I bet many of my mollusk-like co-workers would be quite worried if I became a manager. As you might have guessed, I'm not renowned for my people skills. My current "boss" (I act like I have none and I regularly blast him) is doing most of the paperwork. I...

If I had more free time, I'd tell you to install Teamviewer on your Linux box and I would configure it for you, but the only free time I have these days is during the week-end. Regarding the passkey, please read this. Apply to get one and paste it in your client configuration. You'll need to...

What the Hell have you done to my thread?!? First time I hear anything about ITIL. It doesn't seem to be popular around here. If I do another certification, it will probably be a CCNP afterward, even if I don't really like networking all that much What I like to do is doing server...

Well, I'm stuck in my career and I figure that I need something like this to keep advancing. I don't really like programming switches and setting up networks, but it is a necessary evil. You're not good at that, you often won't have access to the other fun stuff. At least in my case. There...

Although it is quite late in my career, I've finally managed to start a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Assosciate). I master several skills teached during the certification, but I've never had the paper to prove it. In eight months, I will. I'll also learn a lot of stuff I didn't know by heart...

Don't run the FAH client on a laptop. While it will work, a laptop isn't designed to dissipate the heat of a CPU constantly running at 100%. Chances are you will significantly shorten the lifespan of your laptop, especially since it's an entry-level model. It is much more important for you to...

Is it the end of Mark's effort to the cause?

I can't afford a summer car and the Corvette on snow is a big no-no.

Bringing the cost close to what it would be to wire everything in fiber. Typical public sector logic. We have to link two offices together with fiber. More than a third of the price is for the engineering. At least 80% of the rest is man-hours. The medium cost itself is negligeable. So...

Since the beginning of our team, we've maintained an average production of 140809 ppd. I had a few minutes to kill (10 minutes of ice on sore muscle) and calculated that.

I pay ~70$ per month for 12Mbps symmetrical (business connection). No sign of Google fiber coming around here anytime soon. I could get 250Mbps (I think it's symmetrical) for ~250$ or ~300$ per month, but I don't need it.

LSI SAS3008 or LSI SAS3108.

If the prices showed on this page are any indications, the upcoming E5-v3 will be significantly more expensive than their corresponding ancestors. Additionally, the high-frequency models often are worse than their predecessors if you look at the #cores/frequency/TDP. All this combined and it...

Thanks to CPU World, we now have a significant amount of informations about the upcoming (around second week of September, at the beginning of IDF San Francisco) Xeon E5 v3 intended for dual-socket servers.

If you refer to the BMI, at your height, or at least at the one I assume you have, anything above 175lbs puts you in the overweight class, but that's bullshit. Your legs must be quite heavy due to the muscle mass you wrote about, which you used to need to move your former body mass. Plus, as...

What's the sock puppet in the lower right corner? And there must be something to do for the cable clutter behind the audio/video setup.

RAID1 and RAID10 are perfectly fine. Some people are also clueless and buy these drives to put them in cheap RAID5-configured NAS. There are some SAN that have additional parity check, like the Fujitsu Eternus DX and probably the HP 3PAR 7x00 I have at the office, which can use huge capacity...

Yesterday, for the first time since many, many months, someone outproduced for a day for a reason other than my setup experiencing an outage. Congratulations Handruin.

I've had a quite busy day at work and completely forgot about this. I wouldn't have had the time to try anyway. Not sure I'll be able to try it today either. Sorry. As others have pointed out though, it would almost certainly have been a waste of time.

(a) should work. I did it many times with previous version of Windows (up to 7). I've installed both Windows 8 32bit and windows 8 64bit with the same OEM licence stick on laptops at work. (b) doesn't work according to µsoft lawyers. (c) not sure if it works. I've never tried to install...

If you're waiting for Haswell-E, then it could even be early Fall if you wish so. However, if you're waiting for Broadwell, it won't be this year. Might not even be Q1'15.

Forget it. Unless you decide to move to a slum in a third-world country and adopt the diet of the locals, you won't lose 8" of waist at the age you are. The fat that has accumulated there is there to stay in the most part and it will make you pay for every inch you'll try to cut. You would...

A 32" waist for a 40-years-old man, especially one that has the frame to have once needed 56" pants, is borderline unhealthy. Of course, I haven't seen you in person, but that had me thinking about your eyesight problems and the possible relation with the kind of drastic diet you must be on to...

More because of the time it takes to rebuild a RAID5/6 array combined to the possibility of an unrecoverable parity error during the array rebuild following a drive failure. The possibility of losing the array after a drive replacement, particularly for a RAID5 array, is non-negligeable. In...

Looking at your stats, my statement above prove to be quite accurate (I didn't check your stats before posting it).

Did you assign different slot IDs to both you GPU? A Radeon R9 290 should provide, IIRC, over 100Kppd. Each. I think you can set in the Catalyst Control Center not to throttle the card when it's used by the FAH Client.

If there is a window environment installed on the Linux machine, have you disabled the screensaver?

For your company or your home. Seems to be a lot of sprinklers for a home.

But editing files using Vi and Nano is so fun...not.

That is what I did and it worked back then.

The xml config file seems to be in /etc/fahclient. At least this is where I've found it in my Lubuntu VM.

That is what I used to do last Fall on my Fedora VM for the SMP client. I've never done it for the GPU client though.

It's been a while since I've stopped GPU folding under Linux (last December IIRC). On the VMs I use to compute the big units, I've hard better luck with Ubuntu-based distros than with Red Hat ones, like Fedora and CentOS (although I haven't tried with CentOS 7). The problem with the Red Hat...

It is not mandatory. You give if you can and if it's not too much of a burden. Otherwise, skip.

Thanks. It hasn't been long before the points started to cash in.

Most of your students make in the six figures? For manual labor jobs? Do they work in the mining industry?
