All well and good until you lose another disk 2 days into re-striping. Which is not that uncommon because that puts a lot of load on the surviving disks! Remember, RAID is not a backup.

I always buy new because time spent fixing a problem or recovering data with a used drive ain’t worth it to me. It may be to you. A manufacturer refurb might be ok, in fact I do buy refurb monitors sometimes, but not data storage.
I saw Empire and Jedi and in theaters as a kid. I was disappointed at the prequels but really enjoyed many parts of them. I loathe the sequel trilogy except for TFA which was a mediocre reskin but somewhat enjoyable.
But I absolutely loved Rogue One and Andor.
We don’t hate everything that comes out after we grow up, we just get higher expectations.
And ruin my uptime stats? Are you mad?!?!
Among the many things I run are my own email servers so, yeah gotta be up all the time. And yes I have a UPS behind every electronic device in my house except the TV because if that dies I get to buy a new one.
I’ve probably spent upwards of $2000 on UPSes and replacement batteries over the last 20 years, but if it saved even one of my servers from taking a hit it was worth it. Servers are expensive and my time is valuable to me.
So dumb. How many hobbyists will pay that? A tiny fraction. Then in 4-5 years these guys will be sitting around wondering why their new business customer numbers fell off a cliff.
Don’t bite the hand that proselytizes for you at the office.
Indeed. All these cops LARPing as military don’t have what it takes. It’s why they are so trigger happy, because they are scared all the time.
I use Cloudflare as my registrar and public DNS. And only for that. Sorry but they don’t get to peek at my network traffic.
Some people are just incapable of escaping the brainwashing I guess.
Absolutely true, but in my grandmother’s case she was just a fanatic. She didn’t socialize with anyone from the church anyway.
You have no idea the mental gymnastics zealots can get up to.
My grandmother was a fanatical roman catholic and she swore that all the stories about priests diddling little kids were a conspiracy by the rest of the world to discredit Catholicism.
Shouldn’t be wearing it anyway, even if he had earned it, unless he’s in uniform. He’s just using it for political points and I hope it blows up in his face.
On-premises. Please, for the love of god.
Can you guys hurry it up? Is there a GoFundMe I can donate to?
They are making Cloud Microsoft sysadmins, as opposed to on-premises sysadmins. Which means the new crop of admins are just high tier application admins, and have no idea how to manage infrastructure, configure hardware, or actually troubleshoot problems with the application, since they don’t have access to it at that level. All of this makes businesses more and more reliant on the cloud, which is exactly what these providers want.
These companies are so short sighted. They are destroying the ability for the people who might push this software for use in a business environment to use it at home, test it out, learn it. This depletes the pool of experts and supporters that would expand their product’s use over time.
Microsoft and VMware are the worst offenders at the moment. I feel if you’re a competent on-premises Microsoft sysadmin you’ll have work for the rest of your life, because they aren’t MAKING on-premises Microsoft sysadmins anymore.
*edited my last sentence for clarity
I don’t know what you mean about 4k in 2010. I think you may have conflated some things I said.
The despecialized versions I have are 1080p. They aren’t hard to find, but I’m not posting a source to pirated material on lemmy.
You all got rage baited by this terrible article. There’s no new info here, no new quote, George hasn’t been going around railing against the despecialized editions that have been available on the net for YEARS.
This “grow up” quote of his is from an event 14 years ago.
Stand down, soldiers. Enjoy whichever version you like and ignore this clickbait bullshit.
I mean, most people know that kicking a moving 2-3 ton metal object is going to hurt and probably not a good idea, but cops are special.
It’s bursty; I tend to do a lot of work on stuff when I do a hardware upgrade, but otherwise it’s set it and forget it for the most part. The only servers I pay any significant attention to in terms of frequent maintenance and security checks are the MTAs in the DMZ for my email. Nothing else is exposed to the internet for inbound traffic except a game server VM that’s segregated (credential-wise and network-wise) from everything else, so if it does get compromised it would be a very minimal danger to the rest of my network. Everything either has automated updates, or for servers I want more control over I manually update them when the mood strikes me or a big vulnerability that affects my software hits the news.
TL;DR If you averaged it over a year, I maybe spend 30-60 minutes a week on self hosting maintenance tasks for 4 physical servers and about 20 VM’s.
Same way I do at work. Different accounts and passwords for each service internally. Any service exposed to the net (game and email servers mostly) is on a segregated network and each machine has unique credentials to help prevent lateral movement. Self hosted Bitwarden tracks it all.
I do it for the same reason I require outbound firewall rules for almost everything on my home network - I’m a masochist.
