"Ready for any" is just awful guys. It's to similar to Budweiser's "Up for whatever" campaign. It's like that Rick and Morty episode where Jerry comes up with the ad campaign that says "Hungry for Apples?", which is pretty much just "Got Milk?".

Alright now that I have that off my chest, this should be a fun VMworld.

Having an odd issue that I've been banging my head against all day long. I deploy a Log Insight OVA and everything seems to go well, but when the VM is going through its boot sequence it fails to mount the root filesystem and asks me to run an fsck, however it won't let me run an automatic one so I'm forced to sit there and hit y or enter for every question it asks. This worked on one because it had a little less than 100 repairs, but the others are crazy long and I've given up on those.

I've tried downloading the .ova file again a couple times, and all the md5 checksums are correct on both files, but I'm still getting corrupt file systems with the installs. I'm not sure if it is my shit ho

Is it just me or has this year had many more "bad luck" runs than previous years? I may just be forgetting or looking through rose tinted glasses, but it seems to me that there have been several runs with poor luck.

I don't really think it's a bad thing necessarily. It demonstrates a much more real look at what speedrunning is like, as well as the amount of support that the community gives. I think some of the most entertaining runs this year have been ones that have gone wayyyyy off the rails.

So I ran my first scrub job the other day and was seeing my disks hitting close to 2000 IOPS. These are consumer grade, WD Blue's, 7200 RPM disks backing the pool, so 2000 IOPS is like 5 times what I would expect to see from the disks. I figured a possible cause would be that scrub jobs are done using sequential reads, and since apparently my pool was 100% healthy there was no need to write. Been looking around for an explanation but not finding anything really.

Usually I see people complaining about the performance of scrubs, but opposite for me I guess.

Just wanted to see what other people do to prevent episodes.

My coping mechanisms for sleep paralysis started with coping with my horrible nightmares that I experienced just about every time I could remember a dream. I found that if I fell asleep with a TV show or movie playing on my laptop I saw a marked decrease in dreams. My dreams were directed by the audio from the movie/TV show, so put on a Disney movie or an upbeat TV show and my dreams would either just be me in the episode, or something relating to the show/movie that was playing.

After a few years of this I started to have sleep paralysis episodes after nightmares. They were generally unrelated, e.g. I had a nightmare about being

I'm working on testing out how useful a Plex server would be deployed on top of an EC2 instance in AWS, and I'm having some strange behavior that is probably just me being dumb, but I'm not understanding.

After deploying the server and setting up the firewall rules I am able to access the Plex server, however it acts as if I'm just accessing the web client from plex.tv. I've tried shutting down the instance while streaming a video from there, and it continues to stream as if nothing happened. I don't really understand how, but it appears that putting in http://<EC2 Public IP>:32400/web redirects me to the plex.tv web client.

The install process was pretty much just spin up the instan

Hnnnnggggg

Been waiting for this for far to long. How is everyone else liking it?

Where better to ride out the storm?

Not really, that parking lot is hazardous even on the best of days.

I'm curious about people's experiences with in-flight wifi quality. I know latency is awful, because physics and stuff. I'm flying out to Madrid the day an event starts that I really want to watch starts on Twitch, and I was curious if it is even a little bit feasible to watch it on the plane. I doubt it's possible, but curious if anyone has tried.

Edit: Looks like the consensus is no as I figured. Guess I'll just have to miss the first several hours of it. Thanks for the responses.

Any body got any? I've seen several videos of people playing the parts, but I haven't seen anyone post tabs aside from the Pridemoore Keep theme that aren't very accurate.

I would try to do it myself, but I have a terrible ear :/

Alright, I've seen some weird problems in my short time in IT, but this one is really just the absolute most bizarre thing I've seen. I would like to start with saying that normally I would be the first person to be skeptical of my account of this tale, however I took rather detailed notes, so I'm fairly sure I didn't do anything to cause this.

To start off with, this could all have been avoided if I wasn't an idiot and hadn't forgotten to put the new servers in the backup jobs when I built them. This has also all occurred between around 3:30 PM CDT on Friday, 4/24 and the present.

I needed to do a Veeam restore on a virtual machine to pull some settings off of the old server that the new

Does anyone else run into this? The funniest example of this that I just ran into was for the artist name Counterparts. There are 3 separate artist sharing the same name that have albums in Google Play under this name. One is a jazz a capella group, one is a hip hop/rap group, and the third is a post-hardcore band. All three are so different, and it was really jarring to be listening to post-hardcore music in my car, and then suddenly I'm listening to Glee style versions of pop songs. Got a kick out of it, but I also noticed it for another band that I will never be able to remember the name of. That one was some genre, and then a Japanese, or maybe Korean I can't remember now, band bundled t

I was trying to think about what to do with my RPi B+ now that I have RetroPie installed on an RPi 2. I thought of using it to control my older Nintendo systems. I figured that I could replace the switch used to power on the SNES (thinking mostly of the SNES with this) with my own electrical switch, that I could hook up to the RPi via the GPIO pins. Then use the RPi to send a signal to the switch to complete what ever circuit is in the SNES to power on the system. I'm reading up on how GPIO pins actually work right now but I wanted to throw this out and see what everyone thought. I'm mostly worried about the actual voltages needed for the NES/SNES/N64, or if I could just unhook some wires an

Short context story. I was at church last night with my girlfriend when I noticed some one standing near me with a polo on for a customer that we support, though their contract is ending. I asked him if he indeed worked for said company, and he confirmed. Unfortunately (or fortunately) service started right then so I couldn't interrogate him about how IT impacts his life at work.

So, the question. How do you guys handle meeting some one outside of work that you support? I am several degrees removed from my users, so they don't recognize me. I often want to ask them questions about how everything works for them, because I so rarely get to actually talk to end users, and I don't get much of a
