USGS reporting earthquake centered near New York City rattles much of Northeast.
Possible felt by 42mil people
So that, it's crazy. It's also amazing how much such a tiny quake impacts NYC. We get those weekly and no one notices.

Ok and Restart the computer.
This removes a warning that does not mean what it claims to mean. It is a bad warning that end users should normally not see as it is false and confusing.
Meta is full down here, except for WhatsApp. But Google is chugging along just fine. One has datacenters in the region, the other I assume does not.

@scottalanmiller They aren't down here in the states as far as I can tell.
Downdetector shows everything in the US down. I just heard that AT&T is under attack. It's the US backbone having issues, apparently.
This is the 2nd time in the past few weeks that AT&T has had major issues of some kind in the US. First the cellular service issues, and now their backbone.
Shows how dependent Facebook / Meta is on that one ISP.

New (to me) telescope arrived today!
Nice, going to use it for photography?

Just got registered, and browsing around to get the lay of the land around here.
Howdy! Welcome to the fun house!
Why is HAProxy on the host? I would always put it on its own VM and keep the host isolated as the host. If you put HAProxy on it, it's now functioning as one of the worker VMs, but also the host. While this works fine, in theory, it's extra complicated and violates fundamentals design principals for virtualization. The host, in theory, is expected to be completely limited to host functions. But also handling one random workload.

Youtube is working here, but Downdetector is showing every major service down.
Here in Nicaragua the Meta services are down. Don't know if it is regional or global.

@Oksana You couldn't pay me enough to use VMware. KVM is the industry standard and has been for years. And VMware with the recent announcement to kill their free offerings is now just a sinking ship.
And it isn't like when it was free, it was worth it. It was laughable what a bad product it was for free. Paying for it is totally insane.

@Oksana Does KVM have a chance? It's the only game in town. VMware is such a backwater of out of date, out of touch, "why would anyone use this" tech. If you use KVM, then you use VMware, it's like going from living in a beach front mansion to a caveman's cave where they are still pooping in a dark corner in the back.
VMware has been dead tech for years. It's so antiquated like they think it is the 2005 era.
XCP-ng is picking up a ton of customers as well, since there is a support model behind it.
Yeah, two great (and free) solutions on the market, and VMware that is costly and requires so much overhead to manage and maintain. It's such a disaster.
Broadcom just cancelled the free version of ESXi as well, so any small customer shops are just going to migrate, they have too.
Yeah, it REALLY makes Vmware so much less relevant, in a space where it struggled so hard to show value before!

Moving from that port which was only giving 10FDx to an unused port, gave us 1000FDx.
I'm not sure where this issue stems from..
Got it sorted out, for some reason (and I'm still working on the specifics) our ESXi hosts secondary NIC keeps falling to 10FDx (likely some misconfiguration at setup).
I've moved XO off of this nic, and performance has been fixed.
If you want to improve ESXi performance, install KVM.

@DustinB3403 I would think a hub would show half-duplex not full duplex?
It would definitely. A hub cannot be FDX.

And what good timing as ScreenConnect / ConnectWise was just compromised.
