During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hey there! Last week, we spoke about the differences between traditional and cloud data centers, and covered components like CPU, RAM, and operating systems. If you haven't listened to the episode yet, I'd suggest going back and listening to it before you dive into this one.  Nikita: Joining us again is Orlando Gentil, Principal OCI Instructor at Oracle University, and we're going to ask him about another fundamental concept: storage. 01:04 Lois: That's right, Niki. Hi Orlando! Thanks for being with us again today. You introduced cloud data centers last week, but tell us, how is data stored and accessed in these centers?  Orlando: At a fundamental level, storage is where your data resides persistently. Data stored on a storage device is accessed by the CPU and, for specialized tasks, the GPU. The RAM acts as a high-speed intermediary, temporarily holding data that the CPU and the GPU are actively working on. This cyclical flow ensures that applications can effectively retrieve, process, and store information, forming the backbone for our computing operations in the data center. 01:52 Nikita: But how is data organized and controlled on disks? Orlando: To effectively store and manage data on physical disks, a structured approach is required, which is defined by file systems and permissions. The process began with disks. These are the raw physical storage devices. Before data can be written to them, disks are typically divided into partitions. A partition is a logical division of a physical disk that acts as if it were a separated physical disk. This allows you to organize your storage space and even install multiple operating systems on a single drive. Once partitions are created, they are formatted with a file system. 02:40 Nikita: Ok, sorry but I have to stop you there. Can you explain what a file system is? And how is data organized using a file system?  Orlando: The file system is the method and the data structure that an operating system uses to organize and manage files on storage devices. It dictates how data is named, is stored, retrieved, and managed on the disk, essentially providing the roadmap for data. Common file systems include NTFS for Windows and ext4 or XFS for Linux. Within this file system, data is organized hierarchically into directories, also known as folders. These containers help to logically group related files, which are the individual units of data, whether they are documents, images, videos, or applications. Finally, overseeing this entire organization are permissions.  03:42 Lois: And what are permissions? Orlando: Permissions define who can access a specific files and directories and what actions they are allowed to perform-- for example, read, write, or execute. This access control, often managed by user, group, and other permissions, is fundamental for security, data integrity, and multi-user environments within a data center.  04:09 Lois: Ok, now that we have a good understanding of how data is organized logically, can we talk about how data is stored locally within a server?   Orlando: Local storage refers to storage devices directly attached to a server or computer. The three common types are Hard Disk Drive. These are traditional storage devices using spinning platters to store data. They offer large capacity at a lower cost per gigabyte, making them suitable for bulk data storage when high performance isn't the top priority. Unlike hard disks, solid state drives use flash memory to store data, similar to USB drives but on a larger scale. They provide significantly faster read and write speeds, better durability, and lower power consumption than hard disks, making them ideal for operating systems, applications, and frequently accessed data. Non-Volatile Memory Express is a communication interface specifically designed for solid state that connects directly to the PCI Express bus. NVME offers even faster performance than traditional SATA-based solid state drives by reducing latency and increasing bandwidth, making it the top choice for demanding workloads that require extreme speed, such as high-performance databases and AI applications. Each type serves different performance and cost requirements within a data center. While local storage is essential for immediate access, data center also heavily rely on storage that isn't directly attached to a single server.  05:59 Lois: I'm guessing you're hinting at remote storage. Can you tell us more about that, Orlando? Orlando: Remote storage refers to data storage solutions that are not physically connected to the server or client accessing them. Instead, they are accessed over the network. This setup allows multiple clients or servers to share access to the same storage resources, centralizing data management and improving data availability. This architecture is fundamental to cloud computing, enabling vast pools of shared storage that can be dynamically provisioned to various users and applications. 06:35 Lois: Let's talk about the common forms of remote storage. Can you run us through them? Orlando: One of the most common and accessible forms of remote storage is Network Attached Storage or NAS. NAS is a dedicated file storage device connected to a network that allows multiple users and client devices to retrieve data from a centralized disk capacity. It's essentially a server dedicated to serving files. A client connects to the NAS over the network. And the NAS then provides access to files and folders. NAS devices are ideal for scenarios requiring shared file access, such as document collaboration, centralized backups, or serving media files, making them very popular in both home and enterprise environments. While NAS provides file-level access over a network, some applications, especially those requiring high performance and direct block level access to storage, need a different approach.  07:38 Nikita: And what might this approach be?  Orlando: Internet Small Computer System Interface, which provides block-level storage over an IP network. iSCSI or Internet Small Computer System Interface is a standard that allows the iSCSI protocol traditionally used for local storage to be sent over IP networks. Essentially, it enables servers to access storage devices as if they were directly attached even though they are located remotely on the network.  This means it can leverage standard ethernet infrastructure, making it a cost-effective solution for creating high performance, centralized storage accessible over an existing network. It's particularly useful for server virtualization and database environments where block-level access is preferred. While iSCSI provides block-level access over standard IP, for environments demanding even higher performance, lower latency, and greater dedicated throughput, a specialized network is often deployed.  08:47 Nikita: And what's this specialized network called? Orlando: Storage Area Network or SAN. A Storage Area Network or SAN is a high-speed network specifically designed to provide block-level access to consolidated shared storage. Unlike NAS, which provides file level access, a SAN presents a storage volumes to servers as if they were local disks, allowing for very high performance for applications like databases and virtualized environments. While iSCSI SANs use ethernet, many high-performance SANs utilize fiber channel for even faster and more reliable data transfer, making them a cornerstone of enterprise data centers where performance and availability are paramount. 09:42 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest technology. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

That's education.oracle.com/race-to-certification-2025. 10:26 Nikita: Welcome back! Orlando, are there any other popular storage paradigms we should know about? Orlando: Beyond file level and block level storage, cloud environments have popularized another flexible and highly scalable storage paradigm, object storage.  Object storage is a modern approach to storing data, treating each piece of data as a distinct, self-contained unit called an object. Unlike file systems that organize data in a hierarchy or block storage that breaks data into fixed size blocks, object storage manages data as flat, unstructured objects. Each object is stored with unique identifiers and rich metadata, making it highly scalable and flexible for massive amounts of data. This service handles the complexity of storage, providing access to vast repositories of data. Object storage is ideal for use cases like cloud-native applications, big data analytics, content distribution, and large-scale backups thanks to its immense scalability, durability, and cost effectiveness. While object storage is excellent for frequently accessed data in rapidly growing data sets, sometimes data needs to be retained for very long periods but is accessed infrequently. For these scenarios, a specialized low-cost storage tier, known as archive storage, comes into play. 12:02 Lois: And what's that exactly? Orlando: Archive storage is specifically designed for long-term backup and retention of data that you rarely, if ever, access. This includes critical information, like old records, compliance data that needs to be kept for regulatory reasons, or disaster recovery backups. The key characteristics of archive storage are extremely low cost per gigabyte, achieved by optimizing for infrequent access rather than speed. Historically, tape backup systems were the common solution for archiving, where data from a data center is moved to tape. In modern cloud environments, this has evolved into cloud backup solutions. Cloud-based archiving leverages high-cost, effective during cloud storage tiers that are purpose built for long term retention, providing a scalable and often more reliable alternative to physical tapes. 13:05 Lois: Thank you, Orlando, for taking the time to talk to us about the hardware and software layers of cloud data centers. This information will surely help our listeners to make informed decisions about cloud infrastructure to meet their workload needs in terms of performance, scalability, cost, and management.  Nikita: That's right, Lois.

professorjrod@gmail.comA dead PC at the worst moment is a gut punch—unless you have a roadmap. We walk through the exact thinking that turns “no lights, no fans, no display” into a calm, step‑by‑step recovery, starting where every system truly begins: firmware. BIOS and UEFI aren't trivia; they decide how your machine discovers drives, validates bootloaders, and applies security like Secure Boot and TPM. That's why a simple post‑update check of boot order, storage mode, and firmware toggles can rescue a lab full of “no boot device” errors in minutes.From there, we get brutally honest about power. PSUs age, rails sag, and idle tests lie. You'll learn the outside‑in “power ladder,” why a line‑interactive UPS prevents ghost errors, and how unstable XMP profiles masquerade as OS problems. We demystify boot and drive failures—wrong boot entries, NVMe lane conflicts, cloning driver mismatches—and show how SMART data, free space, cooling, and firmware updates revive sluggish SSDs. Then we cut through RAID mythology: 0 for speed, 1 for uptime, 5 for read‑heavy with risk, 6 for double‑parity safety, and 10 for fast resilience. And we repeat the rule that saves careers: RAID is not backup. Verify restores, keep copies offsite or offline, and schedule tests before disaster strikes.Video issues get the practical treatment too. No display? Check inputs and connect to the discrete GPU, not the motherboard. Blurry or artifacting under load? Validate refresh rates, cables, thermals, and PSU capacity. We close with a field checklist and a case study where a quality PSU upgrade stabilized 3D renders instantly—proof that systems thinking beats screen-chasing every time. If you want a technician's mindset—evidence over assumptions, one variable at a time—this guide will sharpen your process and speed your fixes.If this helped you think like a tech, follow the show, share it with a teammate who's on call this week, and leave a quick review so more builders and troubleshooters can find it.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

professorjrod@gmail.comWhat if the real cause of your random reboots isn't the GPU at all—but the power plan behind it? We take you end to end through a stability-first build, starting with the underrated hero of every system: clean, properly sized power. You'll learn how to calculate wattage with 25–30% headroom, navigate 80 Plus efficiency tiers, and safely adopt ATX 3.0 with the 12VHPWR connector—no sharp bends, modular cable sanity, and the UPS/surge stack that prevents nasty surprises when the lights flicker.From there, we shift into storage strategy that balances speed and safety. HDD, SATA SSD, and NVMe each earn their place, and we break down RAID 0/1/5/6/10 in plain language so you can pick the right array for your workload. We underline a hard truth: RAID protects against disk failure, not human error, so versioned offsite backups remain non-negotiable. Real-world stories—including a painful RAID 5 rebuild gone wrong—highlight why RAID 6 and RAID 10 matter for bigger or busier systems.Memory and CPU round out the backbone. We simplify DDR4 vs DDR5, explain how frequency and CAS affect real latency, and show why matched pairs and dual channel deliver the performance you paid for. You'll get quick wins like enabling XMP/EXPO, when ECC is worth it, and how to troubleshoot training hiccups. Then we open the CPU: cores, threads, cache, sockets, chipsets, and why firmware comes before hardware when upgrades fail to post. Cooling decisions—air, AIO, or custom—tie directly to performance ceilings, along with safe overclock/undervolt practices and thermal targets under sustained load.By the end, you'll have a practical checklist to build smarter, troubleshoot faster, and feel ready for the CompTIA A+ exam: power headroom, cable stewardship, airflow planning, RAID with backups, memory matching, BIOS compatibility, and validation testing. If this guide helps you ship a rock-solid PC, share it with a friend, leave a quick review, and hit follow so you never miss the next masterclass.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

professorjrod@gmail.comThe digital world seems like magic to many, but behind every functioning computer is a complex system of hardware components and methodical troubleshooting approaches. In this comprehensive episode, we pull back the curtain on what makes IT specialists effective problem-solvers and explore the physical heart of computing systems.We begin by examining the role of IT specialists as workplace heroes who tackle everything from simple password resets to complex network outages. Through real-world stories and practical examples, we highlight how the best tech professionals combine technical knowledge with crucial soft skills like communication and organization. You'll discover why explaining complex concepts in plain language is just as important as understanding those concepts in the first place.At the core of effective IT work lies a structured troubleshooting methodology. We break down CompTIA's six-step approach: identifying problems through careful information gathering, establishing theories of probable cause, testing those theories systematically, implementing solutions, verifying full functionality, and documenting everything for future reference. This methodology isn't just exam material—it's a framework that professionals rely on daily to solve real-world tech problems efficiently.The episode then ventures into hardware territory, exploring the motherboard as the computer's central nervous system. We discuss different form factors, installation procedures, and potential pitfalls like electrostatic discharge. Our journey continues through the evolution of connection standards—from early USB and display technologies to modern Thunderbolt and USB-C implementations—and the expansion cards that enhance computer functionality.Whether you're studying for CompTIA certification, working in IT, or simply curious about what happens when you call tech support, this episode provides valuable insights into the methodical thinking and technical knowledge that powers our digital world.

Austin McChord, co-founder and chairman of Slide, discusses the launch of his new BCDR startup, which aims to serve managed service providers (MSPs) with a fresh approach. Drawing from his experience at Datto, McChord emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong culture and alignment with MSPs, which he feels has eroded in recent years. He addresses comparisons between Slide and Datto, explaining that while there are similarities in vision, Slide is built on a completely different technological foundation, utilizing NVMe flash storage to enhance performance and user experience.McChord expresses a commitment to ensuring Slide remains an independent company, learning from the challenges faced during Datto's journey, including its acquisition and the subsequent cultural shifts. He highlights the importance of setting clear values and operational controls to prevent a repeat of past experiences. The conversation delves into the lessons learned from building Datto, particularly regarding business operations and the unpredictability of public markets, which can lead to unwanted outcomes for company culture and employee satisfaction.The discussion also touches on the impact of AI in the tech landscape, with McChord noting that while AI can enhance efficiency, it currently struggles with tasks that require deep expertise. He believes that AI's potential lies in automating mundane tasks and improving configurations, but warns against rushing to implement AI solutions that may not yet be fully developed. McChord emphasizes the need for MSPs to understand the limitations of AI and to focus on building strong relationships with new small businesses that are emerging in the tech space.Finally, McChord shares his philanthropic endeavors, including transforming an abandoned power plant into a public park. He expresses excitement about projects that prioritize social returns over economic ones, and how these initiatives allow him to apply business principles to create positive change. His passion for building and creating, whether in business or philanthropy, drives his current pursuits and future aspirations.

As we all know by now, the US, under President Trump's leadership, attacked Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. This is not merely a bad decision - it is among the craziest, most risky, and most stupid decisions ever taken by any world leader. In the latest episode of Didactic Mind, I explain why Trump has now ensured the total failure of his second term, by handing over control of his foreign policy decisions to the neoclowns, and to the Iranians. I give background and context around the wars in Ukraine and Iran, and point out that, even though Ornj Boi did not start these wars, he was given an explicit mandate by the American people to end them. He decided not to do so, and instead walked straight into not one, but TWO, very obvious and very clear traps, laid out for him by the neoclowns. Because of this, and because of Trump's brinkmanship, the world is now far more dangerous, and the American Empire is one step closer to total collapse. I explain why this is the case toward the end of the podcast, and how that could happen. I also provide my own thoughts about why Drumpf appears to be so willing to bend to the will of the neoclowns - and those thoughts are dark and troubling indeed. Whatever happens next, I think we have passed a threshold, and there is no going back. Trump is now officially a failed President, who has gutted whatever credibility the FUSA once had on the global stage. No one is ever going to take the US at its word again. Its economic collapse is now totally assured. And all that remains, is for Small-Hands Donny to serve out whatever is left of his term, before he is impeached, or unalived. His legacy is, by his own hand, destroyed. Support the War College If you like what I do, and you would like to express your appreciation, please feel free to do so here via my Buy Me a Coffee page.

We are back, at long last, after a lengthy break, with a new Domain Query podcast. Once again, we are answering a question from LRFotS Randale6, who draws an intriguing parallel between the current, parlous, state of the FUSA, and the old Byzantine Empire. Our friend argues that, like the Byzantines, the descendants of the Americans may find themselves one day surrounded by foreigners, speaking the languages of those foreigners, treating the English language (and the inheritance given to them by their English and European ancestors) as barbarous relics: As the west declines and dies I am struck by an eerie parallel between the USA and Byzantium. If I remember correctly it was the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos who said words to the effect of "Latin is the language of barbarians". America I think is heading for the same fate, like the Eastern Romans we are increasingly finding ourselves surrounded by another group (for them it was the native Greeks). This group being primarily Latin American, typical on the mestizo side of the racial scale. Eventually I suspect the outcome will be the same, as the Eastern Romans became the Byzantines (Latin overtaken by Greek) we will become the Neo-Byzantines. We may "live on" as a polity, but we will not be the same. I am personally not sure what to make of this, it certainly seems preferable to collapse but... Will our descendants eventually mutter the words (in Spanish), "English is a foreigner's tongue"? Will this transfigured nation continue descending into decadence or will it give rise to renewal (with a distinctly Latin tinge)? As the USA before this change was the second coming of Northern Europe will this future USA be the New Southern Europe? Will we inherit the same toxic politics and power struggles from the former USA (much as Byzantium inherited the Roman Empire's political intrigues)? Your thoughts on this Didact? I went through this at some length, first by looking at the history behind the (supposed) statement of Michael VIII Palaiologos. (I'm not saying he didn't say it, I just cannot confirm it, as I am not historian enough to do so.) Then, I looked at the way the FUSA is likely to devolve and split apart, and I argued that Amerikhastan will break up into multiple nations – at least one of which will be a majority-White, majority-Christian, English-speaking country, in which aberrations and psychoses like Mohammedanism and the LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT degeneracy, will be outlawed on pain of death. This is not merely something spawned out of my fevered brain. My own reading into and around the coming breakup of the FUSA, have led me to think that the future of the FUSA will NOT be quite as dire as what our friend predicts. It will likely be much more like what we saw in South Africa under apartheid – which is NOT a justification of that system – or Rhodesia, in which White Christians find a way to build and maintain a beacon of civilisation, in the midst of savagery and darkness around them, by rediscovering their core and roots. Note that I recorded this yesterday, before I saw how badly the riots in Clownipornia had spun out of control, and before I learned about the activation of the National Guard and the US Marines to go stomp on the rioters. Subsequent events lend, in my view, a certain authenticity and validity to the things I have described in this podcast. Reading List Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War by William S.

This episode was first broadcast on 22 March 2024.As technological innovations happen, it can be easy to forget that even the most complex systems rely on large networks of basic infrastructure to operate. At the most fundamental level, all tech products rely on effective data storage But this is easier said than done. Each byte of data has to be stored somewhere, on a rack, disk, tape, or flash device. As the world embraces hardware and software that creates data at an even faster rate, businesses will be forced to push the frontiers of data storage and evaluate their data management strategies.In this episode, Jane and Rory speak to Tom Coughlin, president and CEO of the IEEE, to learn more about how data storage will continue to evolve and what organizations can do to keep up with innovation in the space.Read more:​​​​Best SSDs 2023: The top NVMe and SATA drives around10 things to consider when buying an external hard disk-based storage deviceWhat is machine learning and why is it important?What is generative artificial intelligence (AI)?Who owns the data used to train AI?How to choose the right storage medium for your organization's backup strategyThree keys to successful data managementStructured vs unstructured data management5 things to consider when selecting your next online storage providerHow close is glass data storage to scaled enterprise use?

LRFotS JohnC911 had an interesting open-ended question about Scripture, starting with Genesis 3, particularly focused on the nature and role of the serpent that tempted Eve: Hey Didactic, I have a question for you? Since you believe in Jesus Christ is the Son of God What are your thoughts on Genesis 3? Even if you don't believe it, the enemies do believe this story though they think eating the fruit was the right thing. The fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil they say free the Human mind. Though as Christian I could not disagree with them more. Such knowledge is not needed when you are present of God and given enteral life. Also it has corrupt us. Interesting The very 1st question asked in the Bible, is asked by the serpent. Questioning and lying about God words Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? – Genesis 3:1 KJV The second part of what the Serpent said next is an another 2 lies. Gensis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. KJV It is a good set of questions that deserves some serious unpacking, particularly with respect to the implications of Genesis 3 for literally the entire history of Creation. So I tackle it as such, in a new episode of Domain Query, that tackles multiple subjects related to what the Scripture says - both at the surface level, and at a much deeper and more profound one.

Twas the week before Christmas when Elliot and Dan sat down to unwrap a pre-holiday bundle of hacks. We kicked things off in a seasonally appropriate way with a PCB Christmas card that harvests power from your microwave or WiFi router, plus has the potential to be a spy tool. We learned how to grow big, beautiful crystals quickly, just in case you need some baubles for the tree or a nice pair of earrings. Speaking of last-minute gifts, perhaps you could build a packable dipole antenna, a very durable PCB motor, or a ridiculously bright Fibonacci simple add-on for your latest conference badge. We also looked into taking a shortcut to homebrew semiconductors via scanning electron microscopes, solved the mystery of early CD caddies, and discussed the sad state of table saw safety and the lamentable loss of fingers, or fractions thereof.
