      I received a phone call today from a city worker asking me to teach him how to use the system. When I asked him what he is attempting to use he said "The computer". He does not know how to use a computer. This is required knowledge for any city employee--of course the level of knowledge does vary.

      You guys ever need to teach a user from the ground up? Seems like they should be paying for training for this dude.

      This seems like a total failing on the part of this employee. Regardless of how old they are - clearly they have made no efforts at self improvement to be valuable as an employee, otherwise they would at least have basic - turn it on, logon, get on internet type knowledge.

      If the city still found them so valuable that they hired them anyway, then it's probably justified that they still don't need a computer, and that someone else should be doing the computer portion of the work for them so they can continue to be super valuable to the city.

        I'm talking with @Danp on the best way to address the update issue a few people have been experiencing. (my self included).

        you mean with XO?

          @Dashrender Yea.

          We're discussing the best option to ensure that people are able to update. The issue appears to be with the way we're keeping user customization.

            Bah! Vultr is still sold out of storage instances.

            DigitalOcean has them also.

              I thought they were removing their storage instances? Didn't someone bring that up here before or am I misremembering?

                          @scottalanmiller So a "friend" of mine is planning on moving his storage from his server to a Synology DS2415+. He plans on keeping one drive on his server for the OS (Server 2008 with Hyper-V installed as a role), and just store the VHDs for the VMs on the Synology.

                          His question is about the Synology. He has a box of 4 TB SATA hard drives and wants to know how good RAID 5 will work. He's heard of RAID 10 and likes the bigger number (10 vs 5), but when he uses a raid calculator he loses around 16 TB of storage using RAID 10. What should I tell him? Oh, and he also wants to use iSCSI; however, the Synology is in another building. Can he do this?

                                    I think you're going have to try harder by telling him that he doesn't know what he is doing. Taking notes from Curtis and the others on SW.

                                      Just sparklers for mine this year. He's wasn't a big fan of Fireworks until the display last night. Seems a lot has changed in a year, lol.

                                      I'm still not a fan of fireworks.

                                          We're bringing Emilia to her first fireworks show on Friday. We'll see how it goes.

                                            That's a sad question to have to ask.
