@dafyre said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Nice! I'd have it all unboxed and played with already, lol.

Me too but we "have" to wait for the MSP to come up and install + migrate from the old SAN

But we will be self installing the 2nd site, that will have 2 servers + switches + hybrid SAN.
SAN's will be sync'd as part of a overhaul on our DR solution.

@dafyre said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

What new hardware you got coming?

Already in the server room still in boxes making room in the rack to install it all.
Got 3 Dell servers, 3 new switches and a all flash SAN

Thinking "What do i need to do tomorrow" to prep for our new hardware install starting Monday.

Melting

Wish that we had some of that. Way too hot here right now.

Still in the 20's here and it's near 11pm

Ouch

One good thing, we looked at a few solutions and I got a NFR license of starwinds to use on the old kit to make a test lab from and play with VSAN stuff

Been putting this bit of news off, but can't keep it in.

We are getting new hardware...........
3x Dell R640 and a ......... Dell SC5020 all flash.

Management thought Scale solution was "too advanced" to us and we'll stick with what we know.

Sitting in dark watching and listening to the thunder and lightning.

Been going on for over an hour now.

Is 41 to old to think about getting out of the 8:30 to 5:00?

Played a bit of XCom on the switch

My god you lot have spent some ££££/$$$$ on your Home lab/Media Servers

I only have like 10 film and 4 television series on my Plex at the moment, and only 3tb storage lol.

Bit more Black Flag via GeForce Now.
Also started Xcom2 on the switch.

@hobbit666 bathtub? Good luck with that...

Yeah hopefully landlord will sort it Monday, can manage until then

Any Plummers in the house?

Got a leak, seems to be coming from that nut, as above it and around the thread seems dry. Just the top of the nut seems wet, and of course the water running down the pipe.

@dafyre said in What Are You Watching Now:

How is that? We keep seeing that one pop up too.

Wife like it so must be good

About to watch some "how to solder" tutorials ..........................

Not the simple stuff, more low level board repairs like charger ports, or replacing surface mounted stuff.

Just binged "Umbrella Academy" ready for Season 2 release on Friday.

@dafyre said in What Are You Watching Now:
