Windows Server Fail-over Cluster

2·1 year agoThat’s an important and valid concern. What if the community federation could allow mods on your instance to ban users from other instances? You’d not see that user’s posts or comments when viewing a community from your instance. The downside is that your mods would have more work.
OP didn’t say force. OP specifically said allow.
This is a really good idea. Multi-instance communities would not just provide content redundancy, but also some load balancing. Each multi-instance community would become it’s own little CDN. Duplicating the data across instances does pose a problem of bloat, but I think the benefits outweigh the risks.
That system makes the instance a single-point-of-failure for the whole community, which has been a big problem lately. If communities could easily be multi-instance they would have redundancy. That seems like a good reason to me.
Dopamine is the get-shit-done neurotransmitter. Our brain’s dopamine system is broken. Normies complete a task and get a satisfying feeling of accomplishment, that’s dopamine. You complete a task and get nothing. When you did those tasks before, and got no dopamine, your brain labeled them as useless. Your brain is literally telling you that doing nothing is better than the tasks you need to do. Better to be lazy and save calories for important tasks. You’re not procrastinating, that’s something normies do, you won’t ever do those things. You’re not putting off an unpleasant task, you’re conditioned not to do them.
You need to condition your brain to expect a reward when you complete a task. Figure out what things do give you dopamine, and reward your brain with them.
Clean the house - play video games for 15 minutes.
Do laundry - 15 minutes on social media.
I’ve had varying results combining activities, like cleaning while listening to my favorite podcasts.
It also helps me to spend a moment being mindful of the results of the task. “Look how much better this room is now that it’s clean. I’m proud of myself for accomplishing this task.” It sounds dumb but it works.
41·1 year agoThe team is the most successful in international women’s soccer, winning four Women’s World Cup titles (1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019), four Olympic gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012), and nine CONCACAF Gold Cups. It has medaled in every Women’s World Cup and Olympic tournament in women’s soccer except for the 2016 Olympic tournament and 2023 Women’s World Cup, when they were eliminated by Sweden after penalties, on both occasions.
After mostly being ranked No. 2 from 2003 to 2008 in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings,[2] the team was ranked No. 1 continuously from March 2008 to November 2014, the longest consecutive top ranking of any team.[3] Since FIFA rankings were established in 2003, it has been ranked No. 1 for a total of 13 years; the only other team to be ranked No. 1, Germany, has been there for a total of 41⁄2 years. The USWNT has never been ranked lower than second.
Rapinoe was named to the United States roster for the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup.[102] During the team’s second group stage match against Colombia, she entered the match during the 50th minute and scored almost immediately to put the United States up 2–0.[103] Rapinoe celebrated her goal by running to the corner to the left of Colombia’s goal, picking up an on-field microphone being used for the match’s television broadcast, tapping it, and singing Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” into it.[104]
Anybody who doesn’t recognize Rapino as an American sport hero doesn’t understand sports, America, or heroes.

I try not to beat myself up about it. I remind myself that everyone has off days, and everyone deserves some R&R.
Palo Alto would do what you want. PA410 or 420 would probably do for your ships. They’re not at all rated for harsh conditions, but they’re about as robust as you’ll find for basic network gear. If you get a PA for the home office as well, you can use their SDWAN for connecting everything.
For switching…how many ports do you need on each ship? I’m using Unifi industrial switches in our manufacturing plants. They stand up to the Texas summers in a highly alkaline environment. They’re only ten ports though (8 poe).

Secondly, what you’re looking for is an entry level helpdesk type job. It’ll likely pay ~$20/hr. You don’t need any experience at all to land this job. You’ll need to do that for 2-3 years and then you’ll be ready for jr. SysAdmin. Your associates goes partway, but you’d need some certifications to get a foot in the door. The CompTIA certs are a good place to start. M365 certs are good too. Look at Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert.
You’ll want to know the basics of computing before the interview. Here’s a list of things I ask, if you can give me a coherent answer on even a few, you make it past the first interview:
What are the basic components of a PC? Explain the difference between RAM and storage? What’s an SSD? What’s RAID? What does DHCP do? What does DNS do? What’s a subnet? How does a subnet mask work? What’s the difference between routing and switching? How does a MAC address work?
I have to be honest, I’d be wary of hiring a trans person, only because the people I work for are very conservative. I’d worry that the workplace would be uncomfortable for you and that you’d be happier somewhere else. That said, if you were the best candidate for the job, and actually wanted to work with us dumb rednecks, I’d hire you anyway.
2·1 year agoI have a carbon steel wok that I love.
I tried to buy a BifL non-stick pan and found that it doesn’t exist. Everything marketed as non-stick has some coating that will wear off and become useless. “But what about {brand that says it’s not PTFE, PFOA, or PFAS}?” Yep them too. Look up sol-gel non-stick coating if you have ceramic non-stick. If you don’t want to have to buy pans over and over again, you have to go stainless, cast iron or carbon steel. Cast iron enamelware is pretty good too, but isn’t really non-stick. I’m in the process of finding stainless/cast-iron replacements for all my non-stick pans.
Dinner tonight was one of my favorite meals, BFMC. Bread, fruit, meat, cheese. A loaf of fresh bread, a hunk of tasty cheese, a little bit of cured meat like salami, and some fruit. If you want to get fancy you can add some nuts and olives.
The backups are on a separate system with different credentials. One copy of the backups is sent to online storage that is immutable. You set a retention policy and then you can’t delete, overwrite, or change the backups.
