@gjacobse Ok stupid question: is this a gpt disk?

Being invited to a citrix event, they are trying to explain how my smb needs a netscaler... No one talking about prices.. sixth sense says this is BS. Am I wasting my morning?

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

seems good even from Italy

@gjacobse the main window shows >40gib free. My bet is the logic under it stops at the first free partition of 1MB.

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

I guess not that late. Feels like afternoon to me, but it is not even 10am.

Cos here is afternoon

@FATeknollogee rolling means they constantly upgrade sw when ready. The opposite is sw which sticks at a given version and is subject to security fixes only.

@FATeknollogee good imho if you can afford to run on a 2year update cycle. If proxmox lags too much or applies a lot of patching then any base is irrelevant.

@scottalanmiller just checked their wiki. 3.x was redhat based. 4.x is ubuntu based

waiting for my daughter to fall WELL asleep in my bed, so that I can move her to her bed and finally put myself in my bed.

@scottalanmiller I'm trying to stay away from bread This looks delicious

Only in the US is bread dangerous. Here in Ukraine and in Europe in general, it is so healthy that you can eat it all of the time.

I would be curious to get a bread recipe from Europe or the Ukraine and try it... I like the smell of fresh baked bread,...

here you got one from my region.

@NDC said in Fitness and Weightloss:

ketosis.

yes! that's it exactly. I now also recall both the name of the induced effect and that he actually did urine tests to check his state.

And no, do not do this at home!

@Tim_G what is a bad/good carb? I'm aware of good/bad fats but not carbs. can you elaborate a bit?! thanks!

@NDC yeah! I just know she did this on the basis of some chemical reasoning. My only chemistry exam at university was madness. Also the diet is expected to be a 6-9 month bootstrap then you have to rearrange your food for the long term.

Just mentioned as it is possible to loss weight even if you cannot manage so much your food and you have no time to sport.

She first tested it something like 2 years back on herself and now she is in "mainteinance mode". Med Checkups are all ok and weight stabilized.

You could install Debian 8.3, and then do a manual install of Proxmox on top of that. I honestly don't want to touch Proxmox again.

Can you really layer ProxMox on top of something else? Never looked at it as an add on service before.

What distro does ProxMox build on natively.

AFAIK, it's built on Debian

If I remember correct they put a lot of red hat kenrel in it. Not straight Debian kernel at all. But I've checked it a lot of months ago.

@Tim_G actually you need water, oxigen, nitrogen other few things and energy to live and catalysts for reactions.
water and oxigen comes from different media (for the most).
Nitrogen comes from proteins.
Vitamins provide catalysts.
Your body fat is used under aerobic activity to provide energy if no carb is present. This is how you lose weight when you walk: you do not put enough carbs in your body for the walk and you start burning fats. If you put enough carbs you do not loss weight, you just stop add it.

what's wrong with nutanix products? I live in a too small env for nutanix so I'm curious to listen from those how can be actual potential customers.

(side note: never understood stock exchange logic: how stock value can impact on the company bank account?!)

ok, I'm 1.75mt/68Kg (5.74 feet/150lbs), not talking for personal experience, but I've a friend which is on diet. He travels a lot for the company, lot of business lunches and the so... he gone quite fat.

now his girlfriend is a biomulecolar chemist, not the most common work in Italy, so she applied to a nutritional science master and has started putting her biomulecoral knowledge in it.

study result: eat 75% FATS, 25% proteins. Avoid any part of carbs.
effects: you loose weight, your blood aligns with correct ranges then...
your metabolism slows down, you loose weight slower and slower up to an almost full stop.
solution: every 3 month have a super all-you-can-eat sesson, metabolism restart running, you continue with the 75-25 diet, your weight goes down.

his breakfast was bacon and eggs! (ok in Italy this is not a breakfast, is an offense to breakfast, but this is just taste !)

my friend has lost something like 15Kg (33lbs) in 3 months in a steadily manner with no sport activity.
Now sport is good for other reasons, but you can loss weight even if you are constrained to eat sht, just avoid carbs rich sht.

JUST A STORY, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME WITHOUT A BIOMOLECULAR CHEMIST ON YOUR SIDE!

also related: CM vs GPO comparison for Windows. Here the CM is DSC.

Generic answer:
basically Ansible, Salt, etc... are configuration managers. To understand when to use them, let say this:

you want to deploy a machine (VM/physical, even a desktop)

a) you do it. so ok, next time you have to do the same task you have to remember what you did - and if the platform will change (run a web server on a different OS/distribution) you have to deal with the differences time per time.
b) as above, but you write all the steps (especially the tricky ones) on a file, so next time you have just to follow instructions and everything should be in place. Still OS is a matter but you can follow the quirks in your paperwrites.
c) you go over and you "drop" the minutes in favour of a script (shell/powershell etc...) which - if well laid out, will automagically re-deploy the machine again and again and again with a lot of custom if/else logic...

or...

d) as above, but you do it with a CM script.

It is all about how much reproducibility, automation and platform independence(°) and standardization is a requisite for your job.
(°) you have to deal with platform at writing time, not at run time. Also idempotency is not always attained with windows PS things.

Personal example:
Recently, I've migrated my VMs from KVM to hyper-v, rather than do anything else, I've used the existent VMs as a target and I've tried to reach the same objective by using fresh installs on hyper-v and Ansible scripts for deployments. My playbooks (ansible code) are still rude but I push them on bitbucket with git and I will be sure that next time I'll need a VM (even for testing) I will be able to fire a script and get exactly the same env.

@scottalanmiller just a question (sw not hw) why veeam rather than say.. altaro. Just curious!

There is no backup software on this device. It is a storage target. One assumes that @scottalanmiller will be using some base OS that lets you setup basically any type of connectivity.

Ok! Got it wrong! Thanks for clarifying
