      Movie looks good too. You have way too much head room though in your framing.
      Just angle the camera down slightly so your eyes are above the center of the frame.
      It'll look more professional that way.

      Thanks, I switched to the media attachment on the GoPro Hero Black 9 so still getting used to that. Overall it seems to work okay, and having a room full of lights helps a lot. But still a bit of learning curve.

      And that some university might list you as faculty and sell your as the professor to their students!

      @gotwf said in SAMIT: IBM Is Killing Off CentOS:

      @scottalanmiller Yes. This I know. But this isn't bare metal but rather SmartOS hypervisor in a Triton datacenter. So I presume all is atop ZFS. I never delved deeper so honestly do not know.

      Hopefully not, as ZFS isn't all that fast. But you need XFS touching WiredTiger... what's lower in the stack isn't what it is concerned with. You still control your own filesystem regardless of what the datacenter may or may not use elsewhere.

      Could it also be that Texas gives more tax incentives than California. Making Texas a business friendly state or better to do business with?

      We use Google services here. We had a quirk around 6am-7am on Monday. No end-user issues reported since that 1 hour. However all of our facilities are within TX.

      @hobbit666 said in Topics of Systems Administration:

      e.g. I'm down as being Infrastructure/Network Manager. But in peoples views where do my duties start and end?
      (But maybe this is for another topic)

      Well the first question is, why is "network" mentioned, given that that's a subset of infrastructure? That's like saying you are a vehicle/car mechanic. Saying you are a network manager, if that's all you are limited to (85% of the time at least) is one thing (I doubt this can be true, network anything doesn't exist outside of the enterprise space, even companies with many thousands of people generally don't need even a single dedicated network focused role), makes sense. And if you cover everything in the infrastructure space, but don't cover things like helpdesk, databases, applications, etc., then infrastructure makes sense (that would include systems, networks, platforms, etc.). But stating both doesn't. Either you are focused enough to say network and infrastructure doesn't apply. Or you are broader and should say infrastructure, and network doesn't apply.

      But then "manager" becomes a question. Admins run things, managers manage people. The terms are used very loosely outside of IT, but inside of IT they generally aren't. You admin hardware/software, you manage people and vendors/businesses. The title "IT Manager" is generally considered to be (and this holds up very universally when you talk to people) someone focused on managing people under them and/or vendors. But an IT Admin, would not be assumed to manage people or maybe not even use vendors, and just administer everything that falls under IT.

      Personally i always like to match RAM -
      Size
      Make
      Speed etc.

      For the average person - hell, the average IT person too, does it even matter? It's not like you're likely running a gaming rig you're trying to squeeze every last ounce of power from.

      I know Scott is doing video editing - perhaps on this device.. so it might matter to him, a 1% performance increase could be several saved mins on a video...

      More than anything, matched sticks means the least potential for problems. THe price on matching was within about $1 of anything else and anything faster would be wasted.

      @Pete-S said in How Many HCI Nodes for the SMB:

      But if you run a generic benchmark that is not designed to give inflated numbers, the situation is different.

      I don't run generic benchmarks in production for a living thankfully 🙂
      The reality is most CPU intensive stuff takes advantage of at least some of the new offload extensions and libraries. Also memory throughput is often the limiting factor for databases and other intensive IO applications.

      You can use an RDP client if you want for Windows users.

      I've read that - I need to figure how how that works.

      We have some customers using them, but we don't use them internally AFAIK.
