Greetings @David_CSG and other newbies. Welcome to the party.

That's a big improvement. Hopefully we will see whatever they did make it into the production release. Maybe they can optimize QoS as well.

Has anyone even managed to get their hands on the ZenFone 4 yet?

Interesting NPR article on Peer Review in the scientific community.

Looks like a neat idea. Treat the OS as a database, standard query language across platforms.

Pretty limited options for hardware monitoring of hardware RAID. Almost always done via software, somewhere.

Ouch, that's going to make for a long evening.

For those noticing that we seem busy today.... we are. Posting is around 150% of previous peek!

Nice, and on that note, not going to try to keep up or anything.

@texkonc that sucks, sorry. Looks pretty minor at least.

@jrc said in Examining unRAID Storage:

Yes, I could do this with a stand alone linux install, but ain't no one got time for that.

It HAS to be faster to deploy Linux than unRAID. I mean, it literally seems like an impossible thing to say. And Docket is this...

dnf install docker

That's all that there is. Docker is super fast and easy to install.

$7 part to maybe fix a $45 unit. Might not be worth the effort.

In your final - loos the boarder around the skills - nearly all resumes are digitally scanned and coded for key word searches. Boarders screw it up and you may get lost on a good position.

It is a sad state of things if borders screw up scanning.

yea,.. but think old school fax... and how bad that was.

But modern firms needing to hire current people, they can't be doing this today.

$1k to start LLC seems very expensive. You can do it in Florida for $100 and it takes less than 10 minutes to fill out the paperwork...

Ya I don’t think it’s even that high in Taxylvania.

High tax states often have cheaper fees. Low tax states often make money in other places, like this.

Tejas Negro, it's what was in teh fridge.

Don't hardly ever post over there since I joined here, not a fan of the new thread layout either.

I agree, harder to read than before.

Of course, for that price and specs, you could just get a Chromebook and put Linux on it.

Heading home. As usual, the connectivity problem is upstream. We have 100 mbps / 20 mbps coaxial. Part of me would be happy with 20/20 fiber just for the potential difference in reliability.

It's not cable vs. fiber that makes for reliability, it is all about the vendor.
