This was not funny to wake up to

Welcome to the forum there is a circlip for the diff on the 172 that can pop out/break that causes loss of drive some replace/weld new circlip into place

Phase 1 V6 had a smaller spoiler from what i remember, Phase 2 was the one that got the big wang

If you have a GPU i have a HP Z820 Workstation i've recently replaced that should cover 3d modelling quite comfortable, Dual Processor/128GB Ram etc

Oh it's not sold, best put the price up

I hate video files some times

Tried a few sample mp4 files as good source but it's struggling to get any decent output

Are you able to take a sample file from the drone currently?

one convenience is the licensing is all under one vendor, thankfully still have a couple of years to reevaluate for the next refresh cycle, the big problem now will be all the big players are either subscription or making a big push to public cloud. reliable tech, just thinking of parallel...

Given the budget/opportunity I'd have NetApp/Purestorage or the likes, unfortunately budget limitations push to the cheaper option as it has a much higher ROI off the initial investment. on a Pure X20 a few years ago i was seeing on average 5:1 and still hitting decent response time...

FC was great until certain HP switches needed licencing for more than 8 ports 🤔 FCoE took over and the FC can't keep up with the speeds that FCoE can provide now. HCI is great, need space? just chuck more cheap hardware to tie you over. with HCI we're squeezing 40 x 3.1G cores 1.2Tb of ram and...

https://threatmap.checkpoint.com/ We have this up on a wall board for when the odd customer visits to make it look like we actually do work

Messagelabs/Broadcom experience gave me a short warning but still managed to make a mess just as finally got stable infra

Public cloud for 90% of business is tragic, data egress, we'll charge extra for that, cpu pinned at 100% because a junior made a bad config update, charge for that. What with the state of Broadcom/VMware mess at the moment, moving back to on prem or at least private cloud may be the move over...

We've recently taken up Stripe and gocardless, Stripe we're utilising for one off payments and Gocardless for direct debit's for recurring, both accept single transactions but stripe is tailored more towards Mastercard/Visa

It's terrible software, been tasked by a new customer i'm onboarding to do a dabble of security testing. 5 minutes on the phone now have a users logins, as soon as out off hours hits into the system, pop off a few sketchy powershell scripts querying data and uploading to eastern european based...

The older cables are a tad bulkier I have a new lesson this week, after a bit of testing, both Crowdstrike falcon and Bitdefender are completely worthless against data exfiltration

expired SAML certificate caught me out on that last month, definitely a fun one

Mostly fueled by coffee and or drink depending on the day

If anyone fancies a little throwback can't beat ol' reliable

Safe mode has saved me more times than i wish to count, thankfully gone are the days of having physical appliances

I fobbed off the NSX-V appliance just before Christmas and replaced the dirty routers with virtual Mikrotik appliances, even the VMware partnership renewal they wanted just shy of £1k to keep our reseller ability. i can see it heading the same way as messagelabs very quickly

Thankfully the cluster licences we can renew, but the horizon licences they'll only do subscription which may be looking at a 4-500% increase annually, potentially going from 13.5k to 70k annually, normally we'd offload that cost off to the customers but it might be a struggle to justify that to...

Currently sitting in a technical directors role for a small startup msp, previously in cloud architect role, spend most the time studying new tech, but currently dreading the vmware renewal come the end of the year, already planning the neccessary changes to potentially have to migrate from the...

from what i remember Tailscale is a pretty overlay for wireguard, it's been popping up a lot more recently and seems to be a handy replacement for clunky ipsec client-server vpns

always up a a bit of good grub
