oh dang that made me laugh, sorry man

i always opt out of any birthday business at work. i take that day off and ignore work. that’s my birthday card!

I suspect that this will go unnoticed at my work but that’s fine.

what kind of network switch equipment are you using to connect them all?

Are running a 1G or better network with vlans?

seems like a network issue. RDP is a bloated monster unless you use optimization.

what? are you kidding or just being dumb? you can restore a raid on different hardware with the hardware configuration tools

as long as the drives and the raid are fine, it will rebuild

you get what you pay for generally

i hear you, you can always just get a add in card for more drives, buy some older but new platter drives and you can make it a lot easier

you want to use a hardware raid system with redundancy imo

uses drives up but your shit will be a lot safer until you back it up onto something you can keep offline

which mobo would that be? idk I just work in data storage as a system admin and this is what I’d start at

Living the life. Enjoy it!

Last couple of weeks has been preparing for a PEN test. I’m so tired of finding things that my predecessor didn’t do.
