Re: Iconische smartphones: de OnePlus 7 Pro was de all-screen-smartphone van onze dromen

Zeer tevreden gebruiker en zelfs spijt dat ie nu weg "moet". Telefoon is uitgegeven door mijn werkgever en na 3jr moet ie eruit. Moeite met kiezen wat nu dan en uiteindelijk "maar" voor de Pixel 6 gekozen. Enige probleem dat ik eigenlijk steeds heb gehad is mijn verstaanbaarheid bij gewone telefoon gesprekken. Krijg echt vaak de opmerking dat ik nauwelijks te verstaan ben.

14-sep-2020. We just got back from this beautiful but tough trip. We were extremely lucky with the weather since the whole weekend was very sunny. I've taken the original route and made some adjustments to it based on the comments on this page, also I changed the starting and end point to be the very nice hotel we've stayed at before we started.

You can check my PLANNED route here: https://www.komoot.com/tour... and the actual route (with many pictures) we've taken here: https://www.komoot.com/tour.... The actual route has some deviations from the planned route because of searching for food and also running into some parts that seemed too hard for us at that time, so we drove around it. So of both routes, the actual completed route is the best but it also has some parts in it that you might want to edit out :-)

We did the route in 3 days, rode an average of 15km/h, 266km and 5440m of climbing. A moving time of 17,5hrs. We're quite experienced riders, especially on gravel but still found it a physically demanding tour. The route has a few technical descents, but never too difficult. If you take them slow, you'll pass them with no issues. My bike was quite heavy, fully packed, but I still managed all the downhills without issues.

Although the route is not technical, it is very heavy I think. The climbs are mostly long and at 9-10%, but also plenty of climbs that are 17-20% for quite some time. This is the same for the downhills, only a few that you can relax on, more often you're in your breaks make sure you don't lose control. All in all the ride was not like the usual gravelride where you ride next to eachother and have a chat. You're either climbing or descending, and I already left out some very steep parts that were mentoined in earlier comments.

The views are breathtaking. At many time you reach a point where you can view the whole area and see how many hills there are. Very beautiful.

If I was to ride this route again, I would change the part near Ariendorf. When you look at the actual route we've ridden, go to Ariendorf and then look at the route just a bit to the right of Ariendorf. You'll see that just over the Ariendorfer Bach, we first went up but then turned around. The part we turned around is not rideable since it is all deep sand. But the path we then took was a very heavy Hike A Bike climb. I had trouble getting my bike to the top. I'd suggest finding an alternative for that. Maybe not cross the Ariendorfer Bach at all but continue to ride it all to the top.

Another very heavy section with a fully packed bike is when going up into Rengsdorf. You come up from the woods, cross a little bridge and then you'll have a steep hill to climb which in the end definitely is a Hike-A-Bike piece, that requires quite some strength to get your bike up. This is when changing from the Rheinsteig across the bridge to Rheinhohenweg. Looking at the map now, i'd think you'd better stay on the Rheinsteig and then go left towards the end to end up in Rengsdorf.

Also the downhill from Melsbach into Altwied is pretty tricky. For a less experienced rider I would take that out.

All in all we had a great weekend, great route.

You wrote "HAB up to Genoveva". I can't find Genoveva on the map. Planning to ride this route this weekend. Would you have more details on where that point is?

Thank you. Editing the database worked like a charm. Had this same issue after re-IPing my 6.7 vCenter appliance. Well, this and many other issues :-)

I have no clue, it was either installed by Windows by default or by the Logitec software.

Actually, I have also a 2016 driver for my mouse

Gabrie van Zanten — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 07:38:11 -0000

Did you try loading a specific driver instead of the default Microsoft drivers? I had to install the Intel driver for my Dell laptop.

Unfortunately no solution for you, but exactly for the same reason as you run into now (fixed it but lost the fix after reinstall), I wrote this article on my own blog :-)

Re: Manage your VMware Metro Storage Cluster with Tags

Gabrie van Zanten — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 12:00:46 -0000

Shouldn't be too hard based on the script that I already provided. You can't tag a DRS rule, but you could use special naming in DRS rules to match them with a tag.

I'm afraid the Powershell version might be too old and I can't reproduce the issue since I don't have the same components anymore. Maybe you can find another script to export the permissions?

Hi
Did you see the update I wrote below my post? Did this solve your issue?

Re: DELL XPS 13 – 9365 and network disconnect in sleep mode

Gabrie van Zanten — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 02:28:45 -0000

Well this worked for me, since when I'm at work I never want the laptop go into sleep mode. Why should it? And with the two Citrix sessions I'm constantly using, it is very annoying when I wake the computer from sleep mode and then have to wait for the Citrix sessions to reconnect again. Especially with the 2FA authentication, that takes too much of my time.

Re: VMware HA Admission Control and VM reservations

Gabrie van Zanten — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 17:03:02 -0000

Example:
4 hosts with 100GB physical RAM. HA has admission control ENABLED and you have set 1 host for failover. If you have VMs with reserved memory, you will only be able to power on VMs for a total of 75GB reserved memory. (Not 100% correct, since every VM also has some memory overhead that is always reserved memory).

If you DISABLE admission control you will be able to power on VMs for a total of 100GB reserved memory (again, leaving out the overhead in this example). It now is not HA that is limiting you, it is the hosts itself that will be limiting you. Since reservation means that the host WILL provide physical memory for the VM, whatever happens. So, if all VMs on the host have all their memory reserved and there is no more physical RAM left, ESXi will not let you power on another VM.

If you don't reserve any memory on the VMs, you could power on maybe 500GB of VMs, but you will probably have a lot of memory swapping to disk. Which is bad.

Does this answer your question?

Re: VMware HA Admission Control and VM reservations

Gabrie van Zanten — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 16:55:57 -0000

Keep in mind that apart from HA, a host won't let you power on a VM if it can't give the VM the reserved memory !!!

Yes, email me at "thegabeman" with the boys from gmail :-)

Re: VMware HA Admission Control and VM reservations

Gabrie van Zanten — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 16:18:09 -0000

Correct, although "override" is the wrong word. Memory reservations are then not taking into considerations when determining if a VM can be powered on or not. So, even if powering on that VM would cause a lot of memory pressure, it would power on the VM.

Sorry, the script is very old and I don't have the environment to reproduce the error.

Re: Cannot open the disk and could not open change tracking file

The CTK will be enabled by your Backup product.

Re: Cannot open the disk and could not open change tracking file

Gabrie van Zanten — Sun, 11 Dec 2016 11:05:48 -0000

No there will not be any inconsistencies. The CTK file is just for record keeping of which blocks have changed. Biggest impact will be that the next backup will need a full scan of the disk and take a little more time.

Hi. Not sure if I fully understand your question. Can you rephrase it?

1st try failed. Unenrolled then enrolled again. Received update again. Downloaded again 1.1GB and after this install, I'm now on Nougat :-)

Gabrie van Zanten — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 17:21:33 -0000

Same here. I then unenrolled from the beta and again enrolled. Got the update option again and now dowloading to try the install a 2nd time.
