  For the record, at 10:30 in the video you talk about the original RoIT site failing. It was never released to the public as such, we played around with the idea of it for a while but setting up a non-profit entity and all that's involved in that was way more work and money than we'd originally thought. We decided not to go forward with the project since but I don't think that really counts as failing. I'm glad someone pointed to the WBM link, I had forgotten that we'd made the domain name into a rick roll, that made me smile.

  @mlnews said in Non-IT News Thread: Metal monolith found by helicopter crew in Utah desert A strange metal monolith has been discovered in the Utah desert by a helicopter crew, leaving local authorities baffled. Wildlife officials spotted the "unusual" object while counting sheep during a flyover in a remote south-eastern area of the US state. They said the structure had been planted in the ground between red rock. There was no indication who installed the monolith, which was about 10 to 12ft (3.6m) tall. In an interview with local news channel KSLTV, the helicopter pilot, Bret Hutchings, said: "That's been about the strangest thing that I've come across out there in all my years of flying." Saw this, very cool stuff.

  @mlnews said in Miscellaneous Tech News: Why don't Facebook and Apple like each other? Big corporate rivalries, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Boeing and Airbus, McDonald's and Burger King, tend to have one thing in common - competition for the same business. That's why Facebook and Apple's feud is so intriguing. They're both big technology companies, and that's where the similarities end. Almost all of Facebook's revenue is from advertising - but it provides only a small fraction of Apple's, which comes mostly from devices and its App Store. The two companies don't really compete with each other - they just don't like each other. For years, Apple's Tim Cook has said Facebook treats its users as a product - to make money from advertising - and plays fast and loose with their privacy. Mark Zuckerberg, meanwhile, says Apple's products are expensive and it has ulterior motives for criticising Facebook. Maybe because, by and large, they BOTH make bad products and it's nothing personal just.... the average person doesn't like either of these companies so that the two don't like each other should be... expected.

  @Carnival-Boy said in Seekout: AI powered job search: and I believe in Denmark you have to employ a certain percentage of female executives. Roughly the same in the US, except you can never do so intentionally. You have to hire them organically. If you can't, you are stuck. But the laws aren't that strict, which is good, since there aren't that many women in most fields so you often can't get a candidate.

  Looking for a tech in Amesbury, MASS. Nothing crazy, just remote hands that can follow directions and stuff. Able to help someone remotely troubleshoot networking. Just need someone for an evening or something like that, but would like someone that could go back again from time to time as we have regular customers there.

  Loosing good account reps seems to be the norm in the SBM... a sales person often seems to start out on the SMB desk, if they excel, they are promoted to other desks. This has happened to me at least three times across different vendors.

  Corporations usually take a long time to integrate HQ innovations into their ROBO locations due to the high cost of IT infrastructure updates to fit the adapted novelties. Westmoreland Mining was at a similar crossroads, too, looking to upgrade its ROBO locations’ IT infrastructure (legacy SAN plus vSphere) to fit new sustainable production demands. Find out how Westmoreland Mining enhanced its sustainability approach to business and mining at remote locations with help from reasonably priced HCI platforms from StarWind.

  For those wondering, SS project is on hold. Kind of. It's still talked about all the time but other software projects, with more pressing needs, have come up. We have a team working actively on the back end of SS, but the front end, which is the most interesting, we have to start over and it's going to be a long time before we can look at the front end again. But we are continuing to research and prepare for the day when we can focus on it again.

  @Pete-S said in To vSAN or not to vSAN?: The problem the way I see it with old stuff like the OP has is while there is nothing wrong with the technology itself, everything is relatively slow with today's standard and much more complex than needed. It's very true. And the risk today is that we are so accustomed to that complexity, that we often avoid the simple answers today.

Missing everyone, more than usual. You could have done a virtual MC and brought in even more attendees. The physical ones are virtual as well so it doesn't seem like only virtual would bring in more than the two combined. They were? I thought they were just recorded and posted to YouTube like a year later? Were there actually live interactive broadcasts? Yeah, maybe not the latest year, but the original two years were done live as well. Who gave their presentations remotely? Weren't they all done on-site? Everyone presented locally to the conference, and it was broadcast to a remote audience. So everyone was local if you were there. Everyone was remote if you weren't. I know @gjacobse was one of the people who attended in year two remotely, for example.

  @gilberto said in raid partition 0: Excuse my ignorance. Now I was installing x2go. If I partition the hdd in raid 0 I also need to rebuild the operating system or just x2go. thank you. To reiterate: Any time you are reconfiguring an array, you lose everything on the array. If you want to keep the data, you must back the data up to a separate medium and restore it once you are done configuring the array.
