What if I added a NVMe SK Hynix 256 m.2 direct on the motherboard connector 🤪

Personally, I'd not use HDD in any PC anymore, no matter the size. I'd choose to have a single 128gb SSD over 2 1TB spinners any day, and upgrade the SSDs when needed or even initially.

Not going to install much on 128gb now a day

I know, besides the point. I'd rather do what I can with a 128 vs 2tb spinner. Of course I'd immediately get something bigger than 128,but I was just making a point.

I know what your saying but this is what I'm working with

So would you say maybe just use the 2x 240gb ssd (Raid)
Going to keep one 2tb as she wants to get into youtube/twtich etc so will need some storage for video editing

Need some advice on how to configure this guy for the kid.
ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II
Amd Ryzen5 3600
16gb ram (will have to check speed)
RTX 3060 ventus 2x 12g oc

So the big question is this, I ordered this without HD's as I have x2 240gb ssd. But it came with x2 2tb.

Looking my initial thought was to use AMD StoreMI where you use the SSD as cache for the most frequently accessed stuff.

But would there be any benifit of make RAID 0 out of the pairs instead. Then maybe using the StoreMI and use the SSD Raid as cache for the HD Raid?

Or just pull some drives out and not use them

@jaredbusch said in Unifi Controller update for Log4J:

I ran an old controller on a local network with no internet to support a site with old hardware. They were upgraded back in January, and migrated to my main controller. But easily workable for something like that.

Yeah that's what i'm thinking. We are slowly replacing but some site will take longer as they will need access equipment to get to.

Does 6.5.55 support the older AP-LR's?
Sure when i updated to the release i'm on now it said later releases won't

I use this when setting up new machines

$ServiceTAG = "PC-$((Get-WmiObject Win32_BIOS).serialnumber)"
$OLDNAME = (Get-WmiObject win32_COMPUTERSYSTEM).Name
Rename-Computer -ComputerName $OLDNAME -NewName $ServiceTAG -force

 $ServiceTAG = "PC-$((Get-WmiObject Win32_BIOS).serialnumber)"
        $OLDNAME = (Get-WmiObject win32_COMPUTERSYSTEM).Name
        Rename-Computer -ComputerName $OLDNAME -NewName $ServiceTAG -force

Can't get OpenVPN as client to work on my EdgeRouter X

Need some help.
I want to see how much data a NIC has send and revived over a time period.
So need to see Total amount (i.e. 5GB over the day) not speed the traffic is coming in/out.

This is only a temporary so will only run for a few days at most.

Any Ideas, looks like the default Windows template shows the speed of the data. Mbps

Even in the UK as well.

Not just switches,
AP's, Barcode Scanners amd others

I've been liking the TP-Link T1600 range, love the Web interface and seem good price

Thinking about getting up and setting my Soldering station to work on the Xbox and Switch

Well fix the switch and now ready for testing, well once I find all the screws
But the Xbox is still driving me crazy 🤪🤪

Will have to see what happens on my next few machines I set up.
Not seeing this yet.

@francesco-provino said in Air Gap Backups:

I have done it with the S3 Vault Lock feature, you can use it in conjunction with Storage Gateway (effectively emulating tapes), or using objects directly.

Once put in compliance mode, there is no way to delete the objects before the compliance period ends. It's also very cheap.

I'm trailing this now. Well to S3 storage, if it works I'll enable the Lock bit

Waiting for the train at 6:30am to go into the office 🥺
Office had a power cut and the switches are doing strange things. Think a call to Dell might be required

Since we are a SMB we used to use Tape (well RDX), but with people leaving the company, relaying on people to remember to take them home, put the right ones in

I hoping they will change their software soon so i don't need to worry about it

@scottalanmiller Again disagree but i'll keep my thoughts to my self as your view is the right one

I've tried a few times switching to Linux but always gone back to installs for the reason of finding apps and installing them to do what i need.

@scottalanmiller said in Why Do People Still Text:

I don't believe this at all. People use what is sold to them, not what is easiest. Hence why Windows is so popular. One one can claim it's easy compared to anything else, yet it is super popular. Why? Marketing. Easy to use means nothing to consumers.

Disagree, i find Windows a lot easier than Linux or MAC. But i think that's more to do with what i'm used to :).
Also find getting software to work out of the box easier.
