Any update on this? I'm interested.

I've been so busy traveling, it's mind numbing. I'll be stationary by Tuesday. Hit me up, we've got a product. Just zero time to show it to anyone, lol.

Been waiting

I know, I know. This trip is killing me. Watcha doing right now? ;)

Solarwinds is far from "devops tooling" and that feels like a weird thing to say since most devops tooling is open source and not built in private like Solarwinds.

I didn't say that. I said that the cybercriminals are going after management tools including devops tooling. Just because it's open source doesn't make it automatically safe.

No, but it means one of the biggest factors in encouraging safety has been taken. Closed source has fewer ways to be protected and is built around a culture that is very dangerous. Nothing makes people wearing seatbelts automatically better drivers, but good drivers are way more likely to lean towards wearing seatbelts because the ecosystem things that make you take the obvious smart step of wearing a seatbelt will make you more likely to take driving well seriously. Plus the seatbelt itself adds a huge layer of protection. The same with OS. Code visibility adds some safety, but the bigger deal is the correlation with good programming behaviour.

This is a very interesting article. Science people...

And that's why "doctors" have no business being involved with medicine. If you don't study or believe science, and you practice medicine, you are literally just a witch doctor.

Clickbait headline. The url is much less alarmist.

What would suggest today for a gaming PC?
Budget is £700 for just the box. Also any recommendations on specs, daughter wants to play Minecraft, Sub Nautica, Fortnite.
(But i want to be able to play Counter Strike, Modern Warefare (not fussed running at Ultra detail settings) :) )

The only way to easily get any sort of graphics card right now is to buy a pre-built. I haven't even looked at prices in months because the market is so crazy right now.

Yup, getting the GPU is tough and pre-built is typically the only way to get the value.

The "real" solution is to convert into SDI, which is the professional version of HDMI. Think TV station, broadcast cameras and other professional gear.

It uses coax so it's easy to install and put on connectors for whatever length you need. It can handle up to 300ft without any signal degradation. And there are converters for HDMI to SDI and back.

So if the application involves something related to live streaming, video recordings etc you might want to look into SDI. If you're just putting a TV somewhere far away, well then it doesn't matter.

An example of SDI - Canon C300 camera:

I'd buy one of those just because I like the commercial, ROFL.

yeah, it was fun, that's why I posted it.

That was fucking hilarious....

@stuartjordan said in Convert Between Popular VM Formats for Free with StarWind:

Looks good though if it does all. I assume it's a windows based product though?

IIRC, yes you have to install it on a Windows system and then connect to the hypervisor in question to create / export the VM you're wanting to convert.

It's been a while since I've last had to convert anything.

@jaredbusch Do you have to install the remote plugin and login with your gmail account to access the machine though?

I have ConnectWise installed for me.

yeah, in my case that's not working much, because most calls are getting to the PBX, but there is a ton of dead air and dropped calls.

Yes, that is the issue with intermittent connectivity. usually up enough for the trunks not to be failed.

For me it was < 30 minutes for any one customer to be having issues.

Things seem to have normalized, but Vultr still has the issue open.

And Chicago is marked cleared now.
