On Premises Software Puns

If I were to build my own Machine Learning stack, what software should I then use? The use case is as follows.

This situation uses a local client without GPU and a server with GPU.

1. The client submits multiple jobs to the server, the server executes theses jobs in order.
2. The results of these jobs are saved on the server and a dashboard containing all previous runs with the code, dataset, loss and accuracy.

There are several options available. Neptune, Wandb, Mlflow, Airflow, Kubeflow, Jenkins. However none of these solutions provide the work queue from step 1. Kubernetes with Kubeflow seems like being capable of this, however this seems like a little overkill for 1 server.

Any insights here?

What OnPrem software is everyone running for internal services? I have an esxi server that Im moving some production and lab services to and was just curious what the community is doing. Probaly looking at IPAM software, nipap looks decent enough and its free.

cnMaestro for CPE management

Powercode for billing etc

Zenoss for snmp monitoring

eve-ng for labbing switch configs

Looking for software that will help manage on premise backups. Looking for something that will do deduplication, compression and anything to make storage last longer.

Would like the functionality to have it watch a folder and automatically capture the data and store it, if someone deletes the files on the source it doesn’t delete the data on the backup server, until an X number of days/weeks/months pass. Would prefer OSS.

Hey all. I run a small consulting shop and we build a ton of internal-facing software. For our public-facing projects, I use Pingdom for just about everything. But, for our clients that don't expose their control panels/web services to the public, monitoring them with Pingdom is very challenging.

Is there software with the simplicity of Pingdom (i.e. create account, maybe install on-premise node to link up with cloud service)?

I've used things like Zenoss, Nagios, etc in the past, but they have not been one click setups. I'm practically ready to build this myself, but I have to imagine this problem is solved. What is everyone using?

When we first got our connection, ACT promised us a waiver for hosting the switch in our premises and using our electricity. Some time later, we found that out that this waiver was not being applied. After we raised it with customer service, the company applied a cumulative waiver. We assumed that the company would then start applying the waiver automatically every month.

Wrong! The company went back to charging us the full amount. We failed to notice this issue because the tariff was lowered in the invoice immediately after the waiver was applied, and we assumed that the revised amount included the waiver. It was not until a neighbour asked me about getting a new connection that I actually looked at an invoice, and found that the waiver was still not being applied.

Once again, we raised the issue with customer care. Once again, a cumulative waiver was applied. The problem is that the cumulative waiver applied was only for 14 billing periods while the waiver was missing for 23 billing periods. See details here. Despite our repeated attempts through phone and email, we have not been able to get any answer as to why only a partial waiver has been granted. We have had our emails and calls passed from one person to another, one department to another, all seemingly unable to comprehend the issue, let alone acknowledge it. Having exhausted our patience with customer care, we escalated the issue to the nodal officer. A new ticket was opened but was closed without so much as a call to clarify the issue. We are now escalating the issue with the appellate authority. If still no resolution is forthcoming, we will have to consider legal options.

If you have experience at filing a complaint against a broadband company with an appellate authority, or in a consumer court, please share your experience. If you are an ACT customer and host a switch on your premises that consumes your electricity, check your invoices NOW.

Update #1: If you found out after reading this post that you have been denied a waiver that are you eligible for, please leave a comment. If you are unsure whether there is a switch in your premises, check this comment. Also, please publicise this post on other sub-reddits and social media. It seems there are many who need to check their invoices.

Update #2: If you are the only one on the switch you

This is why you don't invest more than you're willing to lose. The idea of this coin itself was absurd and anyone who did more than a minute of critical thinking would have known it would be a scam. A coin that can never go down in value, even if everyone sold? The worlds financial system would be completely demolished and the entire bond market would crash overnight if this coin were true.

And their excuse for the rug pull? "We discovered a potential security vulnerability in the contract and are urging you to sell"....and the price tanked 99.9+% in the span of a few minutes...... "Whoops, forgot to program the part where the coin literally cannot go down in value"

" I had 7.4 BNB lost 90%"

" I literally got like 7 cents back. Off 100. Safemoon Mark is a scum bastard"

" Can we clam lose for tax?"

" my investment is completely gone. what the heck also the bsc address says it doesn't exist. "

"when I paste in the address in trust wallet dapps it comes up with invalid address.......what's going on?"

" People haven’t even given him a chance to try and fix it and are calling for his destruction. Peeps need to calm down "

" Everyone go report it to the authorities"

"What I don’t understand is that Mark discovered a vulnerability and then we got rugpulled. Who did that? "

"I had 7 bnb received 0.7 back joke "

There were 3 tokens with this name with different rewards, more than 20,000 holders overall. IMO they all kind of deserve this as a hard earned lesson

We are migrating to Azure AD, which isn't directly compatible with SSRS for rights & logins.

Is it possible to get Power BI on premise that connects to our Oracle database, just like our SSRS does?

Does on-premise Power BI use Azure AD for rights management?

Thanks in advance.

We have a project coming up to set up a load-balanced service internally, backed out of 2 DC locations. We have a requirement that each sites service is load-balanced (HTTPS/443). This is a big ole ERP type application from one of those big vendors with initials as a name.

We currently have a route/VPN function set up that allows us to access the resources we have in Azure (VM instances) from our DC locations.

Can we use the Azure load balancer (internal IP) and have it load balance between VMs running in an on-premise hypervisor? I'm not sure if this possible and a good idea or not, all the docs I'm finding are referring to using Azure resources.

Edit;

Found my answer;

There's the fish friar and the chip monk.

I allot a lot a lot.

I’ve seen a few posts on Reddit shaming businesses for installing spikes or poles to prevent homeless people from sleeping in their alcoves or what have you.

I’m pretty liberal and consider myself very compassionate so I was kinda surprised at myself for holding this opinion and expect to be easily swayed with the right information.

But I don’t think it’s wrong for businesses to resort to this. Obviously the best solution is to have community measures in place to provide for the homeless population, but barring that, it is not the private business’s job to provide shelter.

Though I don’t have any numbers, I’m willing to bet that the persistent presence of homeless people negatively effects a business’s sales.

I know that I avoid a particular 7-11 in my area because there is always someone asking for money. I really do try to help when I can, but I work on a busy tourist street and pass by dozens of panhandlers every day. I don’t begrudge them the use public thoroughfares for this purpose, but I think private business property is too far.

I have less patience for anti-homeless park benches, but I’m open to exploring that in the comments.

So there you have it. I am pretty sure there’s some angle I haven’t looked at that will sway me. Let me know if you have it.

But the same is true for r/esist (ie, no pro-Trump posts or comments).

Civil discourse is always at a pretty low level on the internet, but since we're all stuck at home anyway, let's try actually TALKING to each other. I'd be willing to put up with 90% garbage to find those rare, 10% of moments where people actually see each others' side of things.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for your lively debate. It has allowed me to crystallize my position:

Political subs should not be closed to ideas that run counter to the subs philosophy. Because politics only works when there is the discourse, debate, even arguments.

Version 2020.1 of ConnectWise Manage includes a new feature - in-application pop up notifications.

From their website: "Push Notifications have been added to Manage, making it easier to receive alerts without having to rely on Outlook. These notifications will pop up within Manage in real time. The new alert icon will store all notifications from the last 14 days."

The only thing is, this feature is only being made available to cloud installations. While the database items and relevant code exists in the on-premises installations, it is intentionally disabled.

I've had several conversations with ConnectWise about this, from tech support and development through my account manager. The general explanation is that they decided to make this cloud only to avoid any support issues it might cause for on-premises partners. Their developers are having trouble maintaining two code bases, according to my account manager, so the decision was made to start releasing features just for cloud partners.

We own our ConnectWise licenses - we bought them ~14 years ago before they even offered a cloud option. We've paid maintenance on them ever since.

I find it preposterous that they are now intentionally crippling on-premises partners (you know, the ones who helped you grow the company to a $1.5 billion sell price) by disabling useful new features. This seems to align with other posts I've seen that say ConnectWise has an internal effort underway to move all on-premises/perpetually licensed users to their cloud platform.

Their suggestion was to make an enhancement request to have this functionality enabled for on-premises partners. You can vote for that here: https://product.connectwise.com/communities/4/topics/16785-enable-in-app-pop-ups-for-on-premises-partners

Several of the updates I received from CW on this are as follows.

From Kyle W., Team Lead for CW Manage support: "I apologize, I definitely understand the frustration but unfortunately it is currently not possible to use this feature as an on-premise partner. Currently it would be an enhancement request to get this feature added to on-premise Manage. I do think that this is a great idea though! I recommend posting this idea in the Enhancement Forums at ConnectWise.com/enhancements. From there, partners can vote on the idea to show their support!"

From my account manager Doug: "I found out that this feature is going to be cloud only. I wasn’t updated as to all the technical “why’s” it’s cloud only, but that

These arguments are inexplicably favorites among theists, despite having been utterly debunked for centuries. Nevertheless, as a handy resource, I'll do it again.

The argument of the unmoved mover

Summarized:

1. Nothing can move itself. - This underlying premise is entirely unsupported, and now proven false due to relativity: "Nothing can move on its own." In Aquinas' defense, he was basing this assumption on Aristotelian ideas, but even Aristotle had nothing but his own assumption here, rather than any fact. The fact is, everything moves on its own. And everything is also unmoving. Newton came close to understanding this when he realized that an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force, but it wasn't until Einstein that it became clarified: it all depends on your frame of reference, none of which is privileged. There is no aether at rest for which objects can be determined to be moving or at rest. Motion is not a property of matter; it is not part of some intrinsic identity of the objects being measured.

2. If every object in motion had a mover, then the first object in motion needed a mover. - As the first premise was based on false assumptions, this second becomes irrelevant -- as things are not intrinsically in motion, then no mover is required. The second premise was not otherwise flawed, however.

3. This first mover is the Unmoved Mover, called God. - The third premise and conclusion of the argument is of course also undercut by the facts above, but that is not its only problem. This argument should have been clearly illogical to Aquinas, even given his reliance on flawed assumptions. This problem is twofold: (a) The only way an object can influence another object to move, is by moving itself. That means the "unmoved mover" actually moved. Which means it wasn't unmoved. And it moved on its own, which contradicts and destroys the first premise, since he's asserting something DID move on its own. (b) The leap of logic required to go from unmoved mover to God is equivalent to "there were things we couldn't understand in the sky, therefore they were aliens!" Even without all the problems in the argument from the beginning, this last argument is nothing but a classic "god-of-the-gaps" argument.

Causation of Existence

There is currently an entire discussion just on this one right now. However, it

Some of you might be familiar with "The Third Wave/The Wave": Originally this was a social experiment conducted by the American teacher Ron Jones in 1967 which was meant to illustrate to his students how the people of Germany could succumb to Nazism.
In short: The social experiment was based on the teacher instructing his students to follow strict rules of social control, modelled on nazi ideology, though omitting the political propaganda. In very short time the students began to escalate things, simply because they were so enthralled by the dynamics of their proto-fascist group that Jones had to cancel the experiment.

The experiment was turned into a very successful YA novel by the title "The Wave", written by Morton Rhue (pen name of Todd Strasser) which became a major international bestseller. It was also very quickly turned into a movie for the first time in 1981 which would not be the last one.

Of course, Germany had a particular fascination with "The Wave" and it became one of those books which were regularly read in German schools by millions of adolescents. The last big adaptation of the book was a German production which was also very successful internationally.

Now it's obvious why Germans would pick up that story yet again and adapt it as a TV series for Netflix...

deep breath

The series under the name of "We are the Wave" will come out on November 1st, so Netflix dropped description and trailers in the last few days.

This is a part of a first press review:

>When the mysterious Tristan shows up in the town of Meppersdorf, things are changing fast. As the trailer of the new Netflix production "We are the Wave" shows, Tristan manages to turn four like-minded students into a sworn community (the "Wave"). They are opposing problems which - in their mind - have been ignored by politicians for too long.

>But the anarchist group begins to get out of control and succumbs to radicalization and violence. How far are you permitted to go for your ideals? What are Tristan's true motives?

Another press summary describes what these "problems ignored by politicians" are:
