I blog occasionally, its been good for me the few times I've done it, as it's a mental release for the bullshit that goes on in the day to day operations.
And it passes wisdom and insight to a particular situation. This is my blog.
Not talking about the crap user stuff. More of like ServiceA crapped the bucket, and with little documentation out there, I fixed it by doing X.
At least you can stand behind the rack now.
And is that....Carpet?
Besides SAM, quite over there. Who else blogs about IT? I was debating starting a IT Blog/KB since the pain that I endure, I would like to help others out. Like Spiceworks but on a more Proactive level. Working for an MSP, you are thrown at a lot of stuff, even the things the vendor has no documentation on ahem....Teams.....
Wordpress? Worth the extra time writing? More kinda in brain dump mode right now trying to figure it out. Anyone else besides SAM?
486DX2 66mhz was my first. A good friend had the 386.
Fun days.

I wonder how much $$$$ the guy paid for storage...
$60 a month x 12 x 20 =$14400
I think the problem was that he didn't pay, hence the OP's buyout
I doubt no payment for 20 years. Probably just this year, owner probably kicked the bucket.

I feel like all posting, anywhere on the Internet seems slow today.
Maybe it is you....

We hired a new accountant today. He's here to answer any questions you have about your 401k:
Crummy program anyway that a company takes money away from you. Save it and invest wisely in other areas.

I was asked to install ESXi on a server today. I get in and it's a Dell Poweredge 2800. Now I have to find a link to download version 3.5 and see if it even supports vm replication
Ah, memories.
Is this 2007? I forgot, its been too long.
Sev1 request just came in. So we can fix it in 2.5 hours, until then drop everything.
@Grey said in ODBC password:
I've done that and then the ODBC tool doesn't update after changing it.
Did you reboot 3 times?
Who is the jerk? I am.......

@Grey While I agree, I agree for different reasoning.
The array protection, isn't something that I think needs to be thought of in the traditional sense. I do agree that the local drive needs to be excluded from anything but secure services. So ransomware etc couldn't mess it up.
Maybe we're thinking on different levels. Are you only talking about DAS or is there something else here?
Yea.... haha
sorry for being so vague, just trying to get some ideas. Ignore raid. Its not an item to consider.
So, this is a workstation?
It could be workstation, it could also be a server. Just looking for possible use cases of a locally attached disk.
Workstation without a Hard Disk would be SSD or Dumb Terminal
You can have a workstation with iSCSI or similar remote disk for booting. Used to be a thing, actually. Not so much any more. I know a company that claims to do this in Toronto as they think it is highly beneficial (hint: it is not.)
Thats just silly talk.
