dealing with the stupid disk at 100% issue. I swear this error is popping up on multiple windows computers more often.
I blame Windows Updates.
lol yea. i got them on 1903 but they are slow as heck. i could throw in an ssd but i'm quite sure thats not solving the issue.
Solving the issue is to remove Windows.
If the disk is at 100%, what processes are using it.
If the processes are "normal" things that the user requires, then an SSD will resolve the issue.
It will solve the issue the same way a faster processor solves the issue of a processor being the bottleneck. That said - I do agree - SSD is likely the best course here, they are super cheap today $35/256 GB drives...

Anyone else in Eastern US having Internet issues? Seems we are ok in Buffalo, NY but some of our sites are having sporatic connection issues; can't get to websites, VPN tunnels dropping, etc. My guess would be a peering issue between Spectrum and Verizon but can't prove it yet and can't get to DownDetector from either of my connections to verify
Windstream was having issues in the Perry Ohio area over the weekend. Don't ask how I know
I deliberately omitted Windstream. My fingers catch fire when I type it.
OUCH! See? -

yea, i threw in the ssd lmao. I feel like me trying to figure it out will be more expensive than just chucking in the ssd.

Catching up here.

Outage yesterday wasn't WindScream's fault (rather surprising given how much I love them)

Re-doing my Pi, think I messed up VNC now in a loop and can't get it working.

What were you running on it?
-
@DustinB3403 Ubuntu Mate, had vnc running fine in 16.x using X11VNC.
Done a fresh install of 18.04 and X11VNC seems to bomb out after using it for a few minutes. So tried installing few other VNC things but think I got it all confused with all the different files and config. So starting fresh.

If I have more issues will post a new topic

Just sent a scathing email to Amazon - apparently, they think 2019 is the year when it's ok to just walk into someone's garage to deliver stuff. I have a fucking front porch, deliveer boxes there. An open garage door is not an invitation to come on in. I might stay home Thursday to catch the bastard in the act. I think someone popping up from behind some boxes as the garage door closes behind them should be enough of a scare to make my point. GA law would be on my side if I shot the motherfucker too.

Maybe they've been getting stolen on porches in your neighborhood? Still doesn't make it okay to enter your home, just saying.

Yeah. . . I'd be careful with that, the law might take it as your attempt to kidnap the fedex/ups/postal worker.

@Obsolesce I would agree except this is a new thing the last few months. Before they just left boxes on the driveway, usually out in the rain. UPS usually hits the porch, but the Amazon prime guys in the gray vans think they can just do whatever. I will break them of that belief.

Had to kick a Dell server in the pants this morning. It decided to not reboot when I told it too. Dumm computer.

So the door was wide open, and they what? went into your garage and then opened the door to the inside of your house?
Come on, really, you're mad simply because they 'entered' your open garage to place your boxes somewhere slight safer. So what you're saying is that you rather they just leave them on the curb instead of inside a fully open to the world garage?
If you're worried they are looking at your stuff to decide what to steal, they could have stopped at the garage door line and still looked around with little issue, yet I bet you'd would be complaining about how they 'stared to long at your stuff.'
If you're really that worried about it - have your amazon packages delivered to an Amazon package drop off centers (those things like the old lockers at bus stations).
