Cheers! My gigabyte was working marvelously until suddenly today no blue start light or any sign of life.
I'm going to change that pesky battery and see if life is restored. Fingers crossed and hope springs eternal! Looks a bit fiddly :-(

Re: MySQL Stored Procedures Ain’t All That

I wonder (yes, I haven't checked the details yet) how MySQL and its Open Source fork MariaDB nowadays evolved when it comes to Stored Procedure integration / optimisation and if it would make sense to use now regarding performance aspects. Does anyone have a short update on this subject?

Solved: - Just to inform others of my experience with my Brix GB-BXi3H-4010. I was working 100% until I unplugged it. When I tried to switch it on again after a few days, the blue led would not come on at all. The CMOS battery was 2.9 volts when unplugged and even less when connected. I replaced the battery and it now works! I was amazed that it will not even power on without a good battery.

With all of the problems with CMOS, why don't manufacturers add an external toggle switch to do the same thing. Also, having an external protected slot for CMOS would be nice

Awesome, glad it helped you Anders! :)

Thank you for this very explaining and useful article. I was as you and many other frustrated, that it is impossible to enter the bios setup on my two BRIX computers - Your article helped me :)

I had a Brix, with Win10 on it, for the very rare occasions I needed to run Windows, mostly to update firmware in some worthless gadget. This morning, it would not boot because the RTC was invalid, what I think means the cmos battery is dead. I was able to open it, but I could not figure out howto get at the underside of the circuit board where the battery was. Google showed me this article, Amazon has a replacement battery, cheap, with the molex and wires. Wait for Weds, put it back together. And I can remove the hard disk, put in an SSD, and install an OS fit for humans, not pigs.

Awesome. I was in the exact same boat. I had Ubuntu and i backed myself into a corner messing with things I shouldn't and couldn't boot it and couldn't get it to boot from a USB. I spent hours looking for an answer and yours was the only one even worth trying. And it worked thanks.

I'd say that's a current viewpoint from those of us stuck on old releases and tired of the release treadmill.

But I think if we had less frequent and/or less predictable releases, we'd be complaining about getting our favorite features and bug fixes released and consumable.

I think we might have learned that not all contribution increases quality, fit for purpose, or usability; and certainly not in proportion to the cost of scaling and maintaining a community.

We were good til the last two paragraphs in your response, then I'm not really following you. I don't think K8s is making a push to be a "generic framework for doing anything" by any stretch. In fact quite the opposite, the K8s sig-architecture and sig-api group are pretty focused and explicit about running Containers (you should attend some of their meetings when people propose something new that isn't container related) and other than some gray area around what a Container is (CRI) I haven't seen anything that changes that. The example I *think* you're referring to here may be Kubevirt? I find your criticism especially confusing, because Kubevirt strictly runs Virt in a Container, so you're still managing Containers (not a CRI). That's ok, we can just agree to disagree and time will tell.

While it's possibly true that a copyleft license like the GPL would ward off the hype vampires, it's also true that using a copyleft license would likely decrease contribution -- and adoption -- substantially.

That said, maybe let's not make the goal to be adopted by everyone. I'd rather focus on quality at the expense of fewer users.

That was a pretty overly-broad statement on my part, but matches my own experience. I'm sure *some* operators are different. I just haven't seen any yet. ;)

"The problem is, it doesn’t seem to be what the majority wants, and the people that are funding OpenStack (Cinder in particular) appear to have slightly more than zero interest in going that route. They’re still more interested in what crazy features/hacks they can squeeze in to the project, and even worse, what clever solution they can find for a simple problem to make themselves look brilliant."

Yeah, I hear ya, and I accept the realities that you find yourself in (along with a host of other folks, particularly in the networking community). That said, I can still wish for change ;)

"although I call “Bull Shit” on you calling “Bull Shit” on Big Tent, but it’s irrelevant; the problem already existed and Big Tent just gave it an identity"

A fair point, John.

"Being overly creative isn’t always good or even necessary, in fact my philosophy is that there’s more brilliance in simplicity than complexity. Overcoming that sort of thing is pretty difficult in “New King Makers” era though."

+100

I think OpenStack may be beyond the point of complexity-redemption. I see the same kinds of things happening in the Kubernetes community now, unfortunately, though. And I *do* think it's possible that the Kubernetes community can stop (or at least wholeheartedly push back on) the complexity assault that they are currently dealing with.

The push for making Kubernetes the ultimately-extensible generic framework for doing anything with etcd as a data store and a REST-ish API front-end (i.e. Kubernetes CRDs) will end up hurting the (until now) focused vision of Kubernetes as a top-notch container orchestrator. The Kubernetes hangers-on that wish to build non-container-orchestration applications using k8s machinery will end up diluting the Kubernetes vision as much as the lack of a focused mission has for OpenStack.

As Prince Humperdinck said, "I'd bet my life on it."
