That ' s sort of where I ' m at . I want them to publicly acknowledge it and not try to just hide the fact that people have been seriously hurt . I also don ' t like the fact that they ' re still allegedly shipping out bad remotes until supplies run out . Where ' s the trust ? Apparently not there and I think that speaks volumes of the ultimate direction this company is heading . # nowhere <| sep |> I ' m in Utah and we will be here until the New Year for medical reasons . Utah is our primary home . We have a second home in the U . K . The link is not to the symbolic degrees of any rite . I harken back to my recitation of facts indicating we are not a tolerant society . <| sep |> That depends how often they are written to . Once ESXI boots it runs from memory . We have hosts for instance that have ~ 2 years of uptime during which the sdcard is very rarely written to . Just make sure that you store your logs on a datastore and not on your sdcard and you ' ll be fine . I personally boot my FreeNAS install from a mirror of a USB stick and sdcard , both internal but that ' s on a Gen 8 Microserver . Been running for over a year with no problems and I ' ve installed every update .
