  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.

  Good recommendation. Aver is our "next step up" setup. Like the https://www.averusa.com/products/conference-camera/vb342plus as a replacement for the Logitech MeetUp

  @ElvinNelson said in Writing a good CV: It is more than enough to simply do it according to the already existing available samples and bring it to the form necessary specifically for your specific specialty. The above are also fine. Sure, IF the form is any good. 99% are not. People who do "CV help" are never people who know or are in the industry. The CV assistance career path is one for failed English students desperate for work that no one can evaluate, there's no money in it. So if you get resources from anywhere except peers you are almost guaranteed to have something that's not very good, from a context of someone whose never done it before.

  @Spiral said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: I would say at any age, depending on one's facts and circumstances, you presumably could make the switch. Currently, during this economic environment, there are many opportunities for entrepreneurial pursuits. Because of the inherent risk of starting a business and complicated by current uncertainty, the SBA has many loan programs in the 7a series, which, if applied for before September 27, 2020 qualify for 6 months of tax free principle and interest paid by the SBA. https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/sba-debt-relief For example, if you took out a $500k 7a working capital loan, the SBA would basically give you a $33k tax free gift. Along with the SBA programs, there are also many other grant programs for small businesses out there. Good info. Can be an excellent time to attempt starting a new business, for sure.

  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.

  Can you reassign disks between VMs yet? The hot add disks was a huge pain before. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to do that.

  American Care, Inc. had a mixed VMware/Windows IT environment with one backup and two primary hosts that did not allow for fault tolerance and high availability. The company wanted to standardize its IT infrastructure on Windows Server and build a failover Hyper-V cluster. With StarWind, American Care, Inc. moves to hyperconvergence, creates a fault-tolerant and highly available Hyper-V cluster, and eliminates the complexities of VMware administration. Find out how American Care, Inc. ensures medical data safety and constant availability, saving over $20K on IT infrastructure maintenance and administration with 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.

  Date: 9/22/2020 Start Time: 11 AM Central Format: Zoom It's that time again! This will be another virtual SpiceCorps meeting using Zoom, and we're going to work it in over lunch (bring your own food, of course). Please use this link to register so the Zoom details will be e-mailed to you. The registration is only to prevent trolls (nothing more). As the number of devices used to connect to corporate networks continues to grow, planning to ensure devices can perform optimally when running applications is a challenge. As administrators, troubleshooting the network performance of devices can be even more challenging, often requiring us to use many different tools. Join us for a lunch and learn session with Nyansa (now part of VMware) as we share a technical deep dive and demo of their Voyance Platform with plenty of time for interactive questions and answers. You’ll learn how this platform can enhance the user experience of any device on the corporate network, how to leverage performance benchmarking and proactive recommendations for remediation, and how to gain additional insight into the behavior of IoT devices on your network. Bring your questions, and we look forward to seeing you there! I'll plan to open the bridge a few minutes before 11 AM. SpiceCorps meeting link is here.

  @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.
