Today I begin the recovery from my rotator cuff surgery I had this morning. Today is mostly my wife sterning telling me to sit down and stop doing stuff... I'm way more restless than normal. ug.
You can do stuff... Just not things that aggravate your rotator cuff, lol.

@WrCombs sounds like it might have died. Do you have a Linux box to plug it into? If so, plug in and do a lsblk and lsusb and see what shows up.
I do not, at the moment but I have an old PC in my work area I can throw linux on and try that. I just heard it beep a whole bunch so I think your right.
I'll have to work on that another time, but Thank you!
You can also boot from a LiveUSB or Installer and they should have lsblk and lsusb, I'd think.
But I'm leaning towards dead as well.

dealing with some of the worse pain i've experienced in about 6 years since my accident. my back gave out on me Sunday morning. Can barely move, and the pain stops me from doing much of anything, the numbness in my feet make it hard to stand up sometimes.. so Sitting at my desk about an hour before I'm supposed to be on desk for work because I can't keep making trips up and down the stairs. I was lucky enough to get down here today.
IT related; I'm trying to get a PlayStation game drive to be readable- currently it's in my device manager as unknown and I can't find the driver to get it to be seen. been fighting with it for a friend over the weekend as much as I can
Oof. Hope your back gets better! Might be time for a(nother?) trip to the bone crackers.
funny enough, never been to one, my doctor said it could make some of the symptoms worse.
I go to a Chiro semi-regularly or when something is hurting that shouldn't be, lol.
I spent months with an issue with my shoulder and it wouldn't get better. Went to a chiro 3 times over the span of 2 weeks and it was fixed. I didn't actually go to a doc.
Since you've never been, a good chiro will do an xray of your back and you can tell them about your injury and what the doc said, and they'll either agree with your doctor and toss you out, or they'll go, "I can fix this, lay down." lol.

@dafyre said in Who's making the move to vSphere 8:
We are. Currently, my day job is heavily invested in the VMware ecosystem, and there's no likelihood that will change any time soon... So we are already at the point of testing it, though that probably wont' happen until after the New Year.
I haven’t looked at the vmware hcl, but I heard a lot of hardware is no longer supported. I also read that vmware no longer recommends booting from sd cards.
Yeah. I've already been informed by VMware support that the Intel X520 cards won't work with vSphere 8... Not that we're having any luck getting them to work with vSphere 7 either, lol.
99.9% of our systems have broadcom NICs. Not sure how the two we have now snuck in on us, lol.
Edit: I've never done booting from SD cards. Other appliances we had that did that had way too many issues.

Forgot how long it takes Vultr to take a snapshot
OMG, you have time to make s'mores while waiting for that.
And I mean time to...
Drive to a campsite. Find a tree. Cut it down. Cut it up. Make a bonfire. Wait for it to die down low. Then start roasting some marshmallows.
Realize you forgot chocolate and go back to get the chocolate. Come back, then realize that you dont' have graham crackers, and go back to the store and get that too ?

We just built a new Samba file server here
Question, what authentication method are you using? I'm debating this at a client now.
I think it's TDBSAM (passdb backend in the samab config file). It's AD Joined though, so it may be something else.
We just built a new Samba file server here that is 25TB (16 TB used).
We went with one big disk as well.
Just started getting ready to dink about with docker swarms and pick up a new trick or two.

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.

Too many to quote using the phone,.. thanks.
so- now it is a bit bitter sweet as I may very well lose all of my accrued PTO,..94 hours.
Will have to see
Dunno about your state, but every state I have dealt with, accrued means it is earned and is 100% required to be paid out.
When I left public school teaching (Georgia), I didn't receive any payment for 500+ sick leave hours
They didn't roll that into your retirement package? That's good to know. I'm currently employed by the USG, lol.

I am still awaiting notice from my interview Thursday,..Offer received and without hesitation accepted. In doing so I go from a contractor to full bore employee again. In addition to a spread of benefits I also will receive an increase in pay- and first salary job in a number of years.
Sweet! gratz!

Hush you, quit being so loud! It's Monday, don't you know? lol.
Some of us are still trying to get our caffeine going. Nothing says "Monday" like walking in to 2 downed systems and a whole lot of oddness.

Good morning all... I'm testing out one of those mushroom based "coffee alternative" beverages. Well, this one has a little bit of cold brew extract (?). Tastes pretty good, but a bit on the weak side. Like a mocha with less espresso and more milk. I will report back on the effects.
weird. what's the purpose of the alternative in this case? No caffeine? More caffeine? Alternative energy source?
It has a little caffeine in it, the rest of it is supposed to supercharge how your body uses it. Pretty good energy boost, but it leaves me wanting in the flavor department, so I made a pot of coffee anyway. But the mushroom stuff gives me WAY more energy and focus than the same 5-6oz of coffee does.
What's it called, and how does it price check against coffee?

@PhlipElder closest call I had in FL was nearly stepping on a HUGE rattlesnake on a golf course... luckily, he was in the process of eating a toad that was the size of a cantaloupe.
Yikes!

I'm going to go with this being factual. It's not like anything on the Internet is made up or anything
Had a FL Warden grab me and pull me back from what I was doing. I'd crossed over the little 1.5" or 2" bar that was about 3" off the ground so looked more like a suggestion than an actual DO NOT GO HERE type of thing.
There was a good 6' to 7' or more 'gator lying there that I wanted to get some pics of.
I'm sure if he could he would have called me a fucking ID10T right there but he was pretty polite about it. My buddy just stood there laughing. He was probably waiting for the bite. Bugger ...
Your buddy was waiting on the gator to get you... At that point, HE would have been the one taking pictures.
