I wasn't aware of that. I hope they won't fubar the layout.

Thanks. It will indeed be easier to manage mine from Thunderbird rather than having to sustain Yahoo's crappy interface.

So now you'll do between 200Kppd and 210ppd. Fedora with LXDE or Lubuntu would have worked. I think both fit on a CD. Fedora 20 is due next week and there will also be a version with LXDE as the default window manager. I much prefer the default layout of LXDE rather than XFce's. I...

You do know that we're running out of helium on Earth and that there's a good chance that it'll be awefully expensive by the time you reach your retirement plan, do you?

I don't listen much music, but when I do, I do it on foobar2000. I don't really care how plain it looks like though. I use it for the audio part, not the visual appeal.

From that link : Well, that explains some of the troubles I've had. Thanks for that link.[/FONT][/COLOR]

The appeal of making money with my rig is quite high, actually. I might pause or at the very least greatly decrease my FAH contribution in the upcoming months if I succeed to generate a substantial amount of money from this. It could speed up my financial recovery quite a bit. I earn a decent...

mine-litecoin.com seems to be down now. I knew it would be a pain to set this up. The things we do for money... I think I've installed and setup my wallet correctly, but I have yet to start mining.

...and there were nine in December 2011. Missed that.

According to my stats, the last time we were that many was in November 2011. We had ten members contributing at various levels back then.

The goal with large SSD drives is to replace SAN with large arrays of mecanical drives. Only one of these can put to shame a 40x 15Krpm HDD SAN in terms of IOps. Where SSDs won't replace mecanical drives soon is when large capacity is needed, without the high IOps requirement.

In late 2008, you were 10. No one expects a 10-years-old to make enlightened choices. There were better deals back then, but there were worse.

No. It's worth around 100$ IMO. I've owned a computer store for years and that's I would ask for it if I was to sell such a system now. Are you buying or selling?

Thanks for the advices. I won't touch this before Saturday's evening. For now, the one made with Sharepoint will be ok. It's not quite as simple to use as the one I had at my previous work place (I wasn't the one who set it up and I don't know what he used), but as a free solution already in...

:D

Apparently, it's possible to operate a free Sharepoint wiki. Both Sharepoint Foundation and MS SQL Server Express (hold a DB up to 10GB) are free products. I'll still try turnkey latter on. We are an almost exclusive Microsoft place. The only person here thinking about installing stuff in...

He won't be able to use DBAN if the computer freezes every time he try to read/write from the drive. De-magnetizing a sealed drive is quite a feat to achieve too. IMO, hammer-time.

WTF was that? Guys with pink hair and fifi wings are not manly. Neither is picking up stuff like if you have a broken wrist. I don't get the point. I wouldn't find that funny even after being injected with a lethal dose of morphine.

Plus, spending some additional time working on the server helped me find a and fix a networking problem one of them had. I've also learn how to configure an open-ssh server on Linux for the first time (so that I can monitor the FAH instances from home). So it wasn't completly futile on a...

I did wait too long before restarting. Long story short : my boss entered our small room (where the rack is...three feet behind me) and told us "Hey, the noise's not that bad!". The SAN is not even powered up, so even at idle, the base noise level will be significantly higher than it was with...

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try some tomorrow. There's no way my employer will want to pay for this though. One of the programmers told me he would do something with Sharepoint that I could use. I know pretty much nothing about Sharepoint, but being a Microsoft product, I'm...

For now, almost every setup and how-to stuff is stored uniquely in the heads of my co-worker and myself, regarding the company's servers and networking configuration. I want to create some documentation, so that if I leave, my replacement will at least know the basics. I'd like to create a...

Dead tired, but unable to sleep. Here's the result. Bed, come to papa.

Well, it will wait another day (or more). I woke up just before 4am this morning and my body tells me to call it a day. I'll check more about Litecoin another evening, or perhaps even this week-end. Good luck in your reasearch.

I also want to know if LTC mining ramps well when you add more than one GPU in a system. If it does, I would put my two Radeon 7xxx in the same box in order to save on my electric bill. I know there's a hit when you do that with the AH client.

I have one Radeon HD 7950 and another Radeon HD 7870 used for running the FAH client. To compensate my "underserved" recent gain, I could dedicate those two to Litecoin mining for a week and see if it's profitable or not. That way you'd know. I don't know if I'm better off with Linux or...

It's a way to spend your free time like another...

I've stopped one of the clients around 8h30am and the two others a bit before 10am. I'll have another run at it in a few weeks when we'll have to convince our boss to insonorise our server room.

Most employees here have an Elitebook laptop. Most people in the company aren't computer-savvy and at least half the laptops travel regularly on various construction yards. The lack of return and part replacement is quite impressive, given that we have more than 200 laptops out there. Since...

One thing you'll want to be careful with, if using ESXi 5.5, is if you have the habit of creating your VM on your own workstation and then converting them to be sent on the ESXi server, be sure not to convert them in version 9 or 10, as the free VMWare client won't be able to modify them once on...

I'm perfectly aware of that, but in all three cases, once I've installed FAHControl, following Stanford's online guide, it failed to appear after I clicked on the shortcut. I was already past due to leave the office, so instead of busting my head trying to debug FAHControl, I chose to do what I...

Just for your information, those Proliant DL380p Gen8, configured as I wrote above, consume approximately 450W each while running the FAH client. I'm not sure I've configured them right because I've had all sorts of issues installing a modern version of Linux on them. That and one of them has...

I wish I would have something to add on this topic, but I have no knowledge whatsoever about Litecoin. I have three (dead, but still under warranty) not too bad graphic cards doing nothing here. Two GTX 570 and one Radeon HD 6870. I don't know if I could make money with those, once the RMA...

So, bought the parts yet? If not, what are you waiting for? It is time, you wrote it yourself.

So.... We have our new servers at the job and we need to stress test them to insure stability, plus we want to know what's their maximal power consumption. We don't have our Windows Server licences yet, so I have the green light to install Linux and stress test them with whatever I want. Guess...

Done. I won't post any other picture, jpeg or png, for quite a while. Sorry for the bandwidth. Feel free to delete at any time.

ECC, Registered AND on the HCL for the board. It means this one if you want 16GB sticks (it will run at 1600MHz with the E5-2620v2 because the CPU doesn't support 1866MHz RAM) and this one if you plan to use 8GB sticks. You need 4 sticks per processor (or 8) if you want to fully use the bandwidth.

I must have been moderated, because I cannot post the other chart for the moment. Someone can delete the original ones if they want. I screwed up Fushigi's chart as the scale is wrong.

Ok, at the risk of being moderated by the admin, here are the charts you asked :

If I keep putting pictures on the forum, Handruin will start to charge me for the used bandwidth.

You don't have to be exotic on the heatsinks : these CPUs only have an 80W TDP. Anything compatible with the LGA2011 and with active cooling will do. Also, regarding the RAM, you'll buy server-grade RAM (YOU WILL!) so the sticks won't have tall RAM-heatsinks. They will fit below most tower...

They better be. Otherwise, it isn't the old lady you should be mad at, it's you.

There you go. The scale is different than the first one. The charts are not as telling because the contribution of the members on that chart has been less steady. I omitted Splash because he hasn't posted anything since I've started to compile data. There was no place for Santilli in a six...

This is a chart with three years worth of data. You've started this month. Also, each line represent a million points per month, meaning you wouldn't reach the first bar of the graph. It doesn't mean that your contribution isn't important (it is). It only means that you aren't sick in the...

SuperBizz has it cheaper than Newegg. That store is also one of the best place to buy server-grade RAM too.

One or the other. I would use the S7066 if it was me, just because it supports higher-end CPU in case of a future upgrade. Since you will probably go for standard case and power supply, you could do worse than the Silverstone RV03. The orientation of the motherboard and case fans would be...

Don't buy any E5-24xx ; they are about to change generation in the next two months. At a similar price, go for the E5-2620v2. Faster and cooler. There are more LGA2011 boards on the market than LGA1356 anyway and some dual-socket are even standard ATX. Heatsinks are easier to find too.

Yeah, you're the home run type (with lots of strike outs too).

I've setup both ESXi 5.1, 5.5 and Hyper-V servers (2012 R2). I prefer to manage the Hyper-V 2012 R2 servers...a lot. ESXi 5.5 is buggy. If you go the ESXi road and if you can get by with just 32MB of RAM, opt for version 5.1. However, I would strongly consider Hyper-V server if I was you...

I made graphs showing the monthly production of the top six team members. I've tried to keep everything on scale. I didn't include the other members because their output wouldn't be easily visible on a similar scale graphic. I haven't compiled data before October 2010. I know, the image is...
