Thinking about my career prospects today
I'm exceptionally good at solving problems and I enjoy it quite a bit.
Where should I focus my efforts? What sorts of jobs are available to fit my "IT Problem Solver" skills?
Fix stupid, and I'll give you as much money as you want.
No way. Users just can't understand what we need to do. Must be something genetic.
Genetics can be bred out.
Instructions unclear, bread race of super morons with a penchant for twiddling nobs and pressing buttons
Said super morons would twiddle buttons and eat knobs... and still find a way to screw up their computer....
Perhaps something like this:

Just finished booking my flight and hotel to MANGOCON.

What a joke not to charge Hillary. This lady has been on the receiving end of "HOW TO TREAT TOP SECRET INFO" briefings for the majority of her adult life.
Gross negligence at minimum.
-
installing xen orchestra on my XenServer7
-
Wondering if everybody is still asleep or something... I know I am!

Nope, just getting things updated for the day.

Mine are all done, fortunatley... now It's back to figuring out what fires to start and which ones to put out.

I read that presser as ... yeah she did a lot of shady/illegal/stupid/dangerous stuff, but they obstructed enough that we can't really bring a case against them.

Trying to test upgrading XO from v4 to v5. Dealing with npm issues.

Having fun getting some VM's onto my XenServer from ESXi.
Method I've found is I've had to install XenServer 6.2 onto a spare desktop then using XenConvertion appliance and manager moving the VM From ESXi into this machine then using XenOrchestra copy the VM from 6.2 to my new 7 Server

Anyone know the average power draw difference between a Winchester drive and an SSD? I know there are a lot of variables just wondering if it is substantial over a period of time or not.

Playing catch up today big time after a long weekend and spending yesterday in New York City!

If I remember correctly, the delta is about four watts.

Huh, that's not too bad. I wonder if anyone did some back of the napkin math to see what the payoff time is in just power.

Yes. I have
You don't move to SSD for power savings alone, it is simply a cost offset for making them less expensive.I think you save around $5/year. It's not big, but hardly nothing. It's not just power draw, but cooling as well. That extra 4W is extra heat, too.
If you run your own shop, you have to figure out the cost for you. If you use a colo, you have to figure out the degree to which the carbon footprint matters to you.

@coliver Some real quick math assuming $0.13/kwh is about $5 a year in elec. savings

Not bad for me recalling a three year old conversation off of the top of my head

I was thinking more for a home server. But at 5$/year that's not a fast enough payoff yet in just power savings alone which would be what I would be predominately looking at.
