@siringo Besides decreasing number of vCPU, I would check does your other (non-RDS) VM needs that much RAM. If you can decrease RAM for second VM, and give fixed amount of RAM to each VM, your RDS VM could significantly decrease swap usage which is probably bottleneck.
SSD would be nice

We tested speed on our 4 vCPU VMs against Vultr 4 vCPU VM, and ours are much faster (50% if I recall correctly)
That is a waste of a test. It means nothing.
We tested it to compare speed to understand what speed on VM do we get for money.
@JaredBusch said in Another RDS server?:
IT will not have bottlenecks (generally) but it is still a horrible practive.
We did not notice any wrong with that.

None should have 8 because of his CPU only have 8 cores.
Does it mean that in my case (4-core CPU) VM should use only 3 vCPU even if it is only VM on the host?
Yes, this is correct.
Does it mean than in 1:1 virtualisation, you always "lose" one core?
@travisdh1 said in Another RDS server?:
While you can assign all cores to every virtualhorrible idea. The virtual machines will be doing next to nothing but waiting on each other to finish background processes.
I did not mean to say that we have multiple VMs with all cores assigned.
We have one VM on one host, and we assign all cores to it - is that OK?

@JaredBusch said in Another RDS server?:
Basically, everything should be only 1 or 2 vCPU unless specifically noted otherwise.
For DB servers and RDS servers, we use all available cores to better serve more users at the same time. Is something wrong with that?
@JaredBusch Are you trying to say that not a single VM should have 8vCPUs or just that it would be better that @siringo decreases vCPU number on secondary (non-RDS) VM
@Pete-S I dont think RAM performance is issue here.
We have Win2008R2 server that constantly serves 8-15 RDS users on VM with 16GB RAM and 4vCPU (HW is Dell T30 with 2x16GB ECC RAM, 4 core E3-1225v5, and 2*500GB SSD).
CPU nad RAM are not issues for US in this case.
We use this server for serving bookkeeping app, and notdemanding Excel tables.
@scottalanmiller said in MS RDS: How Do You Reset Device License Assignment:
how do we reset it to allow for updated devices?
Open "RD Licensing manager", browse for device who's license you want to "revoke", leftclick on it and choose "Revoke license"
As said, up to 20% of total licenses can be revoked before expiry.
@DustinB3403 said in Is Open Source Really So Much More Secure By Nature:
I don't know that I would call Excel a great app. IMO it's mediocre at, while I agree it has some features other spreadsheet solutions are adding these too.
I do not see any other spreadsheet that matches (or outperforms) Excel.
In our company we use Excel and LibreOffice Calc as spreadsheets, but Excel is better for us.
We also tried Onlyoffice, but we were not satisfied very soon.
I have met dozens of companies in my country (few, banks, few ISPs), and I do not know of single one that uses Linux for their desktops or laptops.
Besides me and my family, I can't think of anyone that uses Linux on their desktops or laptops.
Even I still use Windows most of time (becuase of Excel and few other great apps I miss on Linux)
Server installations are different story, of course
(sorry for late reply)
@dafyre We do not know for sure, we can't track for sure where did it came from. We just suspect it was from school becuase kids are there together without masks and our girl had very mild symptoms last week and now she is fine, while the rest of us at home are sick.
@Mario-Jakovina said in Ticket versus Projects:
One wide definition of project that I learned was that project is any situation where you need to complete more then one task to achieve a goal.
However, it is not efficient to define and track as "project" a small group of simple tasks (like example above with installing printer, LAN cable...)

We tried Asana and Freedcamp and I think they are both good for tracking tasks/projects within team.
However, I have not yet found app that can fullfill all our wishes for tracking tasks within teams.
@WrCombs Mild case. Just like ordinary virosis (flu). Symptoms started on sunday. Probably brought by my 11 year old girl from school
COVID-19 positive here 
We need to stay at home for a few more days.
As I said - we do have FQDN.
I was just suprised when @Dashrender said they are free from Cloudflare
@Dashrender Really! We use DynDNS paid service for our in-house servers
If you can point me how to get free FQDN from Cloudflare, I would be grateful?
