how is it confusing

i mean they keep adding a lot of poo poo i dont want or need but the basics are good

do they have a solution for keeping/offloading copies of your pictures In The Cloud or are 'pro' users doomed to buy stacks of LaCie/G-Drives until the end of time?

the correct option is to put it on your network and connect it to your print server and have all your clients print to the print server

but we all know you're not going to bother doing that

i don't have a print server but i do have a computer that is always on

this is a small business printer: the chances of more than one thing ever wanting to print at once is like once every 8 months

hmm in order to network I think I need more cables :negative: one day... one day maybe. got gifted an old wifi dsl router which i might see if i can shoehorn into an access point in this part of house and then use that as printer connection

so buying photoshop at $15 a mo gets you 2gb ... wow

icloud pricing is really reasonable. 50gb for like a dollar fifity? imma up to the 4.50 plan for 200gb and put all my family photos on it :D

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
Keep in mind that setting up a Print Server will cost device CALs for every queue you throw on the thing, whereas it's "free" to use Group Policy to create direct IP mappings based on a security group or however you want to build it.

I'm not advocating the latter approach, but if it's really a small business setup with a limited amount of budget/infrastructure it's probably the way to do it.

with cals it depends on what version of windows you are on. if you are on essentials or foundation 2012 you don't have to worry about cals. for 2016 essentials does not require cals. these are more common for small biz. if you are a non profit or educational company you can get cals through techsoup for nearly free

i have a mikrotik routerboard and very little networking experience, and i'm trying to set up a thing

in vmware i have:

vswitch0 - management network, 2 separate teamed nics, 10.x.x.x ips
vswitch1 - public network, 2 separate teamed nics, public ips

ideally, i want to run openvpn on the routerboard so i can access vmware and whatnot

am i overthinking this and is it literally as simple as just setting management stuff to listen on private ips, configuring openvpn, and configuring it to access 10.x.x.x?

i had to drop $50 on two 717w dell power supplies because i discovered today that two 502w power supplies cannot properly provide power to a PERC H700i, six hard drives and 96GB of memory

so now my CPUs are running at 1.6GHz (down from 2.9GHz) and my memory at 800MHz (down from 1333MHz) all because i'm an idiot

e: i'm an idiot again because i rebooted the box and now it doesn't complain and runs everything at the expected spec

They are meant to be able to run on a single power supply so you should always calculate for that.

right, which is why i'm thinking the additional RAM might've pushed me overboard

hoping the 717w will fix this, since dell only made 502w and 717w PSUs for the r610 i can't imagine that it'll be insufficient for what is a wholly supported configuration

you can get a dedicated server from OVH/kimsufi/soyoustart or other resellers with 64Gb of ram for as low as $60 a month. depending on the disk and cpu needed you can save a ton of money. you are also paying for someone else to deal with hardware problems and you can just provision another server if there are any hardware problems.
