The real question is: Is it pronounced data or data?

And if you didn't read that to the tune of "Do your Ears Hang Low", you're reading it wrong. lol.

We all know who's doing the fishing around here!

@DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Contemplating all of my life choices as I swear I'm being gaslit at work continuously.

Not sure if it's time to update the resume or what..

If there's any doubt, it's probably time. Especially if those doing the gaslighting are on your own team or are in the immediate chain of command above you.

@cakeis_not_alie said in What is Real Hyperconverged Infrastructure?:

Marketing lingo dispensed with, hyperconergence is ease of use. It's IT infrastructure for people who don't have time to fuss over IT infrastructure. And by that definition, Scale has served me extremely well. So kudos to Scale...
...and long may the Scale Legion reign!

This.... very much this... They do it extremely well!

I am currently using Starwind in my Lab to provide shared storage for my MS-SQL Server Failover cluster. It works great!

So what is the solution. I've been using Lastpass since 2008... I think I'm going to go through that account this week and pull out all the accounts I know I use on a regular basis and put them in a KeePass database.... no matter what I do this is going to be a long process.

I'm Using KeePass + ownCloud to keep my database up to date on all of my machines.

@scottalanmiller said in MangoCon 2017 Topic Ideas:

Getting the thread made, what topics would people be interested in seeing next year? While we are still here, might be a good time to discuss what would be useful while we are freshly thinking about it.

I bet this thread explodes with cool stuff the day after MC is over. "Things we would have liked to see" will probably get brought up...

That's the whole idea. 8-)

@thanksajdotcom This is why it is helpful to be friendly with those higher up than your direct supervisor(s), lol.

I got my first exposure to Scale when building a 4-Node cluster as an upgrade to a VMware setup. It's been a great experience!

@RojoLoco said:

@dafyre nope, we don't really have competitors and we have a very large customer base already, so we have zero need to use self promotional posts on free forums to drum up business.

Nothing wrong with self promoting & drumming up business. 8-)

Live Steam with the option to buy @scottalanmiller a shot

Throw in an extra $5 and I will totally do that

I'm dead serious I will do that. Before this happens: @scottalanmiller I am so sorry. Digging into the bank for that.

I should state $5/shot

That's the only way I'd do it lol. Who will win: my wallet or @scottalanmiller's stomach. Tune in to find out!

My condolences to your wallet.

I am actually just getting to work today since my son had tubes put in his ears this morning. Everything went well, and he was hanging from the ceiling fans when I left the house. (I think the docs gave him a shot of adrenaline or something, lol).

@MattSpeller said in Scale Computing Brings First Fully Featured Sub-$25,000 Flash Solution to SMB Market:

One of the little things that irritates me in advertising is "Sub-$$$$ price!" we all know it's sub-price minus one dollar lol

I this case, It's -$500. But I feel you there too.

@johnhooks said:

Right, but then they don't update it? How can you have enough resources to create an application and then not enough to update it with the platform it's built on?

Why waste money updating something if your customers don't leave you anyway? That's not good business.

I just shutdown my GOGS server and have all my important bits over on GitLab now.
