Vulture Culture posted:Anyone using PCs larger than NUCs for home labs nowadays gets the side-eye from me. The Braswell N3700 ones are around $175 and use something like 10W of power, which is great if you want to try out dumb hardware clusters for something like Kubernetes. I've got a big stack of 'em on my desk, running completely silently. The only issue I have with the NUCs is the single network interface isn't ideal for VMware deployments. But it's not a deal breaker. Being able to run my lab in my living room without any appreciable noise or heat and a barely noticeable power draw is awesome.

Always been too lazy to deal with RAID at home, I feel the cost outweighs the good, although with affordable SSDs now, I'd likely be more inclined, but it's too much work. I've got some gear at home, and my machine can double as an esxi/hyper-v host to do any small poo poo, I've got a few cisco switches and a router, but they aren't running all the time. Other than that, I just hope my internet doesn't go down, because then the GF can't watch TV/Movies via the "hacked" amazon fire (aka kodi + addons installed on it), haven't had regular cable TV in over 3 months now, and I do not miss commercials at all! Although I did see some the other day while I was making sure my sports stream stuff would work with the regular season NHL coming up in a month.

ZetsurinPower posted:What do you guys use for SSO/Identity Management, or at the very least, self-service PW resets? Am not yet, but will see if Azure meets our basic requirements, as we're already paying for Office 365. Sorry $every_sso_provider, your product isn't worth what you think it is, and bundling it with poo poo I don't need isn't increasing the value proposition.

ZetsurinPower posted:What do you guys use for SSO/Identity Management, or at the very least, self-service PW resets? The issue here is those are 3 distinctly different things. There are solutions that handle all 3 of those, and each one individually. It's going to vary by your environment as well. Azure AD Premium can handle some of it, other cloud based IDaaS providers like Okta and OneLogin can handle it. There are multiple on premise solutions ranging from basic low cost software to multimillion dollar suites of software. ID Management is a beast unto itself and can be very complicated on its own. skipdogg fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Sep 14, 2016 |

I love not having to pay $100 for a cable subscription This also works if any friends/families can make a sub account on their account for you. I created a sub account for a buddy of mine off my account and he can access all that stuff as well. I have the max package so he gets all the premium access as well. I call him a HBO GO HOE.

I like it a lot and the price isn't crazy. There are some free/inexpensive front ends if you just want a simple AD password change portal. The SSO bit depends on the environment. ADFS works for most Microsoft shops but ehhh.... One thing I haven't used but have heard decent things about is SSOeasy. Might be worth looking into, it supposedly doesn't cost much and is easy to setup.

Actually, seems like importing a csv with an absolute time + data value is harder than you'd think with this.

GF hemmed and hawed initially, but she's onboard now (she is the one that pays the cable bill  ), every TV show and Movie we want is accessible from a single interface, DVD quality version of movie that just came out in theaters? That's up immediately. TV show just aired? Can watch it tomorrow. I now have 10TB of storage that is worthless because I no longer have to torrent poo poo.

should seriously look into getting a fire stick, they're $50 and takes like 2 hours tops to figure out how to install kodi and addons to get your freetvs. The sports add-ons typically have multiple streams you can watch from the home/away teams of sports games. The add-ons also auto-update and I don't think you ever NEED to update kodi or at least everyone I know that uses it hasn't had to. MF_James fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Sep 15, 2016 |

IDK, sports aren't worth paying an extra $100/mo on top of what I pay for Hulu (without commercials) and 4k Netflix. I don't consider Amazon Prime a streaming expense since I order enough poo poo from there each year to completely offset the membership costs with all of the free shipping I receive.
