@Kelly Congrats! I'm a firm believer in writing about work, not only for yourself, but also to showcase yourself. Good job.

I've used it before, worked fine. Not the prettiest UI but it was functional.

@scottalanmiller lol

@Pete-S said in RAID5 SSD Performance Expectations:

I think we are getting close to the point where raid doesn't make sense anymore. Simply when a single drive will have both superior speed, superior reliability and enough capacity compared to what traditionally would call for a RAID array of HDDs.

We have been there. Ive got a raid 0 in my work desktop for last two years and it really makes no difference. These are sata drives and not even nvme.

@Kelly Oh I had not heard of this. Thanks for mentioning it Kelly

Its not entirely on one line, I don't know what to do now scott!

@WrCombs Oh yes lol

@scottalanmiller said in Use PowerShell to Disable UAC on Windows 10:

Set-Itemproperty -path 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system' -Name 'EnableLUA' -value 0

Never had a reason to do that but I am saving that line and adding it to my own personal powershell documentation in case it ever comes up. Thanks.

@WrCombs Ocasionally I have time like that. When I do I read documentation over various things. I try to limit them to things that might help me someday. Use the time as learning experience. Learn scripting better through powershell or python. Read over git documentation to understand it better. I'm currently reading a book over KVM and doing the exercises in it. Read the chocolatey documentation and learn how to use it for windows environments. Read over the dnf and rpm commands to use them better. Learn docker. Know how rdp technology works in detail. Find some voip guides to see how things are done. learn a programming language real well. Theres a million things. I make a list of things I want to learn better. Ive used onenote, zoho notes and evernote for this in the past. These all go on your phone too. I rotate through them. smaller things I finish befire goign to another. Larger topics I'll go from one to another more often. Hope some of those ideas help.

@gjacobse I don't remember about -c specifically but I am pretty sure you can go to your bash profile and set the amount of history you want to keep.

@scottalanmiller I need some warm choco chip cookies and a big glass of cold milk

If I get time tonight I will look at this and test it to see how it works for me.

@LilAng haha go for it

@brandon220 said in NAS for Plex use... Again:

Sadly, its the only real reason I still keep a Windows laptop

I use kvm to manage my windows vm on desktop, so you dont have to use HV unless you just want to

@Suyeins What kind of math?

I know prices are good but this doesn't seem worth the trouble if you were a business.

@Suyeins Oh good luck. Do all the math you can, it will help. It trains the mind to think in different ways and I really believe helps with your problem solving skills very much.

Great info, thanks for sharing.

At the Dallas zoo. Great place

they call a vendor and see if they can be sold something

Hey thats us! The wireless/voip person does this constantly, the Audio/Video person does it constantly, the sys admin does it a little bit, the vp does it constantly.
