I would not buy synology at an enterprise level. I would use a NetApp.
Also we use non-Cisco optics all the time, but keep just a few (genuine Cisco) around. So we’ll buy a pile of fluxlight optics and one Cisco for a set of switches. Load it with the cheap ones, but you can troubleshoot with the overly expensive Cisco sfp if needed.
Have you tried swapping out the part (CPU/videocard/memory/random component) whilst the patient is still running?
Doctors do this all the time! ;)
There is a device that allows for the head to be easily separated for a more thorough analysis. I say we start building some.
I’ve used Swappa before and it worked out fine. I sought a private seller instead of the cellphone shops that sell there.
Hope you like satellite internet.
Not as much as I revile Musk.
K-k-k-k-killing spree!!!
Isn’t that plastic already?
Perhaps your comment wasn’t clear. People probably saw your first sentence and clicked the down-arrow. There are tons of great videos to watch on YT obviously, in nearly any facet of life you can think of. I watch many things that would bore others, but that’s part of the deep. rich sea of content that YT has.
Do I go there to watch network-style shows and movies. Hell no. But I don’t frequent Disney, either.
I’m doing my part!
I’ve loaded Mint on my prime system and a laptop, another laptop with Fedora, Manjaro on another main system I test with and EndeavorOS on all my media systems. I’ve also loaded about 8-10 other distros on Proxmox to play/test with.
Where I had doubts on whether I needed anything off of the old MS system, I P2V’ed the OS and spool it up on Proxmox if needed to review any history within the OS/browser.
I still have a couple of W10 VMs lingering and a Windows server. I’ll “upgrade” the workstation VMs to W11 (and shut them down) since I have the license and I can see sometimes having to use Windows for whatever dumb reasons. I’ll leave the Windows server for now to maintain the domain as that allows me to block telemetry with GPOs. I may tire of that at some point though as MS will further wane away on my network.
My summer task is to convert all my 'Arrr software over to Linux versions. Still on W10 there. Wasn’t sure which distro to go to for that…
I found Mint rather simple to install. That said, I am a techie. I am using several different distros in my house, but I wanted to live in Mint for a while to see how well a non-techie might fare. My reasoning was that since Ubuntu (Mint’s parent) is rather ubiquitous, there is more development and more attention paid to support and troubleshoot issues. So far, so good. Yes, being tech literate does help, but I think a non-techie could live with Linux. And over time, the environment will become more known like Windows is now.
