@HopelessN00b well, if you want, send me a resume. if you don't, that's OK too. I'm looking for a generalist sysadmin with a security interest for a 25-person company.
@FalconMomot Hi, Falcon, would you like to know how I can converge your user experience and leverage infrastructure resources to ensure maximum return on availability and uptime. Our product is revolutionary and will work with any existing infrastructure by using a fabric model
Because I know you've all been on pins and needles since this morning. I ended up getting the LG G2 at Best Buy. They had it for free on sale, so a Nexus 5 (albeit not vanilla but better battery life) for free, that's good enough for me.
@MarkHenderson The key thing is that for many of them, you have to pay that higher contract cost anyways, so you might as well upgrade when there's a new phone out to maximize your return on that hidden cost. In California you still have to pay sales tax on the full value of the phone,. though.
@MarkHenderson I just upgraded to a 5s a few weeks ago. The trade-in value of the 4s paid enough for taxes and most of getting a memory upgrade on it...
@MarkHenderson Yeah, for me on Verizon I was due for an "upgrade" (read: same price as a new sign up) back last summer. So by saying "I'll stay with you Verizon for 2 more years" I got the phone free. Not all are free though.
@MarkHenderson Honestly, I didn't hold out for the 6 because my girlfriend and I are on a family plan thing and with her cracked screen at about contract expiration time it seemed logical, and I couldn't have her having a nicer phone than me, could I?
@freiheit hahahaha my wife dropped her 3G in a bucket of water 4 years ago in a sleep deprived state after the birth of our son. So she got MY 3G and I went back to a Nokia for two months waiting for my plan to expire
Now if that aint love...
Also: She ravaged her body for our children. I ravaged my body for chips and softdrink and pies and beer and burgers and all other sorts of delicious foods
@TheCleaner I am not changing my phone for a while, I think. I have one of the last few remaining unlimited data plans. But I'll lose it if I get a new phone on contract.
I just bought a serial for Windows 7 on-line from the Microsoft store (the most painful shopping experience EVER!). I selected that I wanted to download my version of Windows 7 after purchase. After payment I was listed a Product Key but no download link in sight.
Where do I download my Windows...
@DanilaLadner Well, when a daddy loves a mummy very much, or sometimes, when a daddy loves another daddy, or a mummy loves another mummy, or really any group of adults who agree to love eachother for at least an hour or so...
Or it doesn't really even need to be love, it can be when any group of two or more adults enter a formal or informal agreement, for exchange of services or for mutual pleasure
@MarkHenderson which is really annoying when you use a product called "Fog" that's been around before all this cloud stuff, and now you can't get the right google results for it
What kind of performance benefit write back on a RAID controller gives?
To be more specific, the setup is 2 SSDs in RAID 1. The workload is mainly random write.
Given the above, what kind of performance increase can I expect using write back vs write through on a RAID card with 1GB RAM?
Brand of server, make/model of RAID controller, brand/model of SSD... Some basic information that will make this a better question and help us provide good answers. — ewwhite1 min ago
@ewwhite If the RAID card says "done!", then the OS will send another write, yes? So long as you don't fill the write buffer in the RAID card / get hit by cache full, you shouldn't see very much difference... or am I assuming that things are that smart?
@Andrew hehehehe, I know from experience you are correct, but trying to explain that to someone who hasn't done this stuff over and over... You just want to pat them on the head and let them figure it out..
@MikeAWood it's like trying to write optimised code: unless you are doing low-level assembly or something very special, relax, the compiler is smarter than you
For that specific hardware combination, the controller cache may not provide much help.
The Intel SSDs you're using provide power-loss protection, so the BBWC's function may be redundant. I doubt you'd see a difference with and without cache with those SSDs.
The write IOPs capacity of those SS...
@Andrew yeah, there are always instances where people want to squeeze that last .001% of performance out of something. I suspect this isn't one of those cases.
We have a client who still uses a 2010-era Sonicwall SSL VPN that just flat out doesn't work unless you go to your Java setup to lower the security for that URL
Currently working on a ground-up (not just the UI) reimplementation of a whole, existing system. Because it's internal we've been able to work with its existing users during the process, and get their feedback on what they want doing.
One of their existing UI elements involves nested data. Curre...
