Re: Windows XP End of Life Approaching
Wow! That would make a nice headless server!Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

Re: Windows XP End of Life Approaching
She's no longer in operation, shes been retired since 2007 when I pulled her out of one of the datacenters. I still have her here, and no plans to get rid of. Last time I had her fired up, she'd BSoD on occasion, never bothered troubleshooting. She's got 4x 146gb SCSI320 10k RPM HDD's in that SCA backplane.
Shes a netfinity 7000.

New datacenter hardware build
Decided to make my own thread to share the trials and tribulations of my new Hyper-V buildout. This system has been 6 months in the works, with many revisions to the initial spec. There were a lot of meetings that felt like we were
Originally planned to be 3 HP DL360's and an EMC VNX 5300 SAN, it eventually changed to a C3000 BladeSystem, with 3 BL465 blades and an EMC VNX2 5200 SAN. It took so long to nail down the specs that EMC actually released a new line of products in the meantime, which meant we had to change the spec AGAIN.
So far, I have the BladeSystem and fiber channel backend in house. The SAN is supposedly being delivered today. We'll be connected to the internal network with 6 10gbit fiber links, and from the bladesystem to the san with 8 8gbit fiber links.
Everything was spec'ed out with redundancy in mind. We should be able to drop two of the 3 blades and suffer only a slight reduction in performance. The SAN and internal communications are all fully redundant, as are the power supplies.
Interesting note on the BladeSystem PSUs.... they're 1200w in a very small formfactor. I went to look at specs, and found that they only output 12v. Must be stepped down elsewhere in the enclosure. But they'll do a solid 100amps @ 12vdc!
Anyway, pics of the BladeSystem are attached. I'll keep the progress updated as we go.Attached FilesLudicrous gibs!

Re: New datacenter hardware build
I combined my old beater server posts with this thread. Yea, I think its safe to say that you have mine beat. I got this server second hand in 2004 iirc. Ran it several years until it began having stability issues and phased it out.
RD, if you bring the 'rango, I may just send it home with you. It'll take 3 mules and a crane to lift it up though...<--- Badcaps.net Founder

You should see the server I am helping an electrical engineer build... it's, awesome!

Re: New datacenter hardware build
Ah there it is. I was just wondering where this post disappeared

About that quad P3 server - NICEEEE! I sure hope they didn't use 50 mm fans on each CPU, though - that would be LOUD!

(then again, it's a server. Who cares?

So if the power supply burns out, you could probably use a welder as a makeshift power supplyOriginally posted by dood .

I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)
The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist... -

Hello. Ive got problem with Dell Latitude 3520. After power on, no display and fan goes crazy. Standard job, I exported a clean bios from update via pfs extract.
Steps i done and results:
I exported a clean bios from update file via pfs extract.
1. Build clean bios with clean ME, PMC, PCH in flash image tool.
Result: Dead
2. Build clean bios with no changes in ME, new PMC, PCH
Result: Dead
3. Build old bios with clean ME, new PMC, PCH
Result: The same
