Cat Terrist posted:The storage coming online is all SSD, FreeNAS and (Holy gently caress I dont believe it either) NO 10G core switching, despite the petabytes we now have. Management had to cut cost somewhere despite the fact the SAN's well past GB/sec read / write without caching. A full SSD SAN is utterly incredible for speed and with the caches on it's ballistic, seems nuts to bottleneck it on the network.  All that money in SSDs, and they can't bother to even do a 10G backbone? They are using Enterprise SAS SSDs right? They didn't skimp on that too?

5 days left to get your Sheep Game entries in! Participation has been on the low side for this one...the more people we have in the game, the better the results. As it is right now, with 26 players, we don't really have enough for the game to work properly - we need at least 40 for that. Come play today! It only hurts for a second!

Looks like it's not so much an inheritance/gift fee as it is some cross state title transfer bullshit and re-titling fee. So it's about $475 I need to pay to get the Golf transffered and plated in my name. Oh what's this, I have a plate from the Civic I can transfer over and save $70!

Unless there's an option to toggle the HUD and I just haven't found it, in which case... e: Oh poo poo, HUD and Radar toggle are options! gently caress yes!

I've never had the HUD come up when screenshotting? It just dumps to disk and pops a window in the background so when I quit the game all the caps I took are sitting there waiting for review. Unless they've changed that with an update or something?

I've had my ups and downs in life but I'm figuring it out. Its mostly been by eliminating hateful/hurtful people in life. I have no tolerance now for the bullshit and its making things much better. Also, any one on snap chat get on there for some train snaps. First one is mediocre but the second on has some lovely diesel idle.

The biggest thing pushing me away from Facebook is the people who are the first to volunteer but last to show up. They just want to look good in front of their "friends." I don't want to drop fb because I have some genuinely interesting people on there, and family in Mexico that I don't get to see IRL very often. I've definitely "trimmed the fat" as far as friends go in the last few years, but sometimes I feel like I don't have many real friends.

Bluntly put, half the "Enterprise" offerings are just "consumer" with a few tweaks and big fuckoff pricetag. Even on our spinning rust, we lose less drives on the homebrew SAN's and get better performance over the NetApp shelves, especially using SSD caching (The NetApp also has that). That said, there are a few shelves with SAS as required. The rest is Samsung 850 Pros which are proving more than up to it. The only real issue we had was testing it, the backplanes were having trouble and dropping disks - we stepped down to a 3Gb controller until we worked out the 6Gb controller's firmware was just not keeping up with the drives. Flashed firmware, whole shebang screams. The main reason tho we can use more homebrew is FreeNAS is a very capable SAN OS. 1 hour snapmirrors and VM snapshotting is a godsend

I trimmed the fat as well. I like Facebook for a more of a photo album as I hate dealing with imgurs app. I have quite a few hidden albums for uploads of various stuff. Plus I like AI people on Facebook. They always post the coolest stuff. Edit: I also found that the less fake friends I have the more "real" friends in real life. Mostly because I'm a less miserable rear end hat and just happier in general. Its not a popularity contest. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Apr 14, 2015 |

Rhyno posted:Same here man, I cut 200+ FB "friends" last year. I'm not a big Facebook user. I've never had more than about 130 people. Back when I first got on it, I was getting friends requests from people I knew in high school and college or read through their friends list to see who I knew and send a request. So I would accept, have a short chat (you look great! How many kids? Mundane, repetitive bullshit). Then nothing. So I started culling my list with the mindset that if I haven't talked to you in nearly 20 years, there's probably a reason. Whether it's me or you, doesn't matter. And then you kind of realize that you have absolutely nothing in common with them and there's no point in continuing any sort of relationship with them. Then there's reasons why I cut ties years ago... Because I was going down a bad path I had escaped once or there were people that I had history with of actions that I was no proud of. And to this day I am embarrassed about and reluctant to even have my name brought up in conversation for fear it would ruin new relationships I've worked drat hard on the last 10-15 years. I've built a new identity and reputation for myself and willed myself to be a better person. I want today's actions to speak for me, not something stupid or some con I pulled years ago to define who I am. I was just a bad human being that was a result of having an extremely low self esteem, confidence issues, paranoid, and a desperate need to fit in and be "the guy". Looking back, I had no reason for that low self esteem or lack of confidence; I was a smart, good looking guy with a charming personality, but I was always paranoid someone was trying to pull something over on me, or wasn't genuine, or was trying to subvert my actions, wants, or desires. That despite my bullshit, people still wanted to be friends and put up with the baggage that came with me. I'm down to about 50 now, most of which is family. I'm old school I suppose in that I don't chat with friends over Facebook or text, I call or hop in the car and go see them. And if you "play" it right, you can find out we who your real friends are.

So there's a bunch of holes already drilled in the attic from the first attempt at wiring (all the drywall was patched years ago). Measure twice, even thrice, before cutting holes in drywall.  I wound up 1 stud over in every single loving room except the living room (and only because I fed the cat5e down with existing coax and swapped the existing jack), and the battery on my drill will drill roughly half a hole before it needs to be charged for 5+ hours. Every room is framed differently, and with about 20 inches of blown in insulation in the attic (on top of what it was built with), finding your way around up there is a bitch. It worked out for the best in the master bedroom though, if I had run the wires through the original holes for the next room, the jack would have been 3 inches from the door frame in the master bedroom. The backside of it. For me, it's easier to just drill a new hole in the attic framing instead of patching the single gang hole I've already cut, I just have to wait for the drill to charge. Again.Why does every room have a different height ceiling edit: cripes, a new battery for this drill is more expensive than the complete drill (including battery and charger). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Apr 14, 2015 |

Unfortunately, this is up in the attic - sparks would be a very bad thing, and there's only 1 outlet up there (at the other end of the attic). I do have an ancient corded one, but last time I used it, the cord sparked and it popped the breaker. I'm gonna let it charge overnight and see what happens. I might actually get TWO holes drilled!

yeah, see above. no nearby outlet. The only extension cord I own that's not for a lamp is a 100 ft monster that weighs as much as my dog (it's 10 or 12 gauge). I'll pick up a corded one next paycheck anyway though, I really do need a decent one.
