I've only begun to research this subject, so call me Way Behind The Trend.
I sort of get it, but don't have even the slightest inclination how it
might apply to me, my occasional clients, and the non-profit enterprise
world at large. Can anyone enlighten me or offer links to help me figure
this out?

I am without desire to command big salaries, although a minimal wage is not
to be sneezed at. Was a time when I did want to make lots of money, but
that's gone away. I don't declare this because I'm wealthy and able to own
a house and an estate. In essence, I have nothing more than the vintage
stereo equipment and the extensive First Editions of my writers of interest
-- no real estate, no funds hidden in Switzerland -- nothing, in short, to
provide for my fu politically and emotionally motivated to work for
non-profits. As yet despite my fascination with the theoretical aspects of
this stuff, I cannot see any immediate application to the sphere of my
interest.

Any suggestions?

Here is what I know...

Blockchains are a very interesting subject and there has been a lot of controversy around the tech. The tech drives all money exchange application like Bitcoin. It is not owned by any company or country as its core is open source. Bitcoin's blockchain technology makes it unhackable therefore any amount of digital money can be sent around the world without being interfered with. If the money transfers blockchain is compromised in anyway it is immediately apparent and the transfer fails. 

Many believe it is little more than a way criminals can transfer cash without fear of law enforcement intervention. To that end the state of Florida has banned its use. OTOH, many major companies and countries support Bitcoin and its blockchain core; many banks are starting to use it like Western Union that uses it for money transfers around world and the US postal service. China initially banned its use but now supports a very stable and hack proof Bitcoin banking service. Countries are slowly starting to officially adopt the product...the latest being Japan and India.

If you had bought into Bitcoin about a decade ago (2008 it started), you could have gathered a hundred of so coins for a few dollars each...the current price is around $2,500 and it has been higher. A friend who successfully guessed its potential value bought a house, acreage, on the ocean, up at Haida Gwaii, earlier this year, on the profits.
   
Here is a link to but a cursory look at the blockchain math that has driven Bitcoin and the hundred or so similar products:

http://www.financial-math.org/blog/2016/10/the-mathematics-behind-blockchain/

So there you are and what little I know.

Message-ID: <078901d302f8$478f8790$d6ae96b0$@bchacc.com>

Dear List(s):

 

Per advice from MS on W10 (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Backup and
Restore (Windows 7)) I decided to do the system image and system repair
disk. (Why it says Windows 7 when I am running Windows 10 is another
mystery).  But it seems like having a system image file on an external HD or
DVD would be a good thing in case of a catastrophic failure of the SSD - my
primary C drive.

 

Creating the repair disk went fine, but I got a message from Image:

 

The Backup Failed. There is not enough disk space to create the volume
shadow copy.etc.  (0x80780119)  I checked my backup drive - nope - nearly a
TB available.  So I went to the internets and found this:

 

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/fix-the-0x80780119-error
-when-creating-a-system-image-in-windows-7-and-8/

 

which also shows a suitable for framing picture of my error message. There
follows an explanation that is such a rabbit hole that, in spite of my best
intentions to create a system image) I'm inclined to just keep using Norton
Ghost - which has been very effective and reliable for many years, instead
of trying to figure out how to repartition my SSD.

 

I'm trying to create a system image of the C drive.

 

My Disk 1 (disk 0 is the old rotator which I use for data storage, disk 1 is
the SSD)  partitions are 1) System Reserved 100MB 14% free, 2) Recovery
Partition 449MB 100% free, and C: 223BG NTFD 34% free.

 

Any advice on how to proceed here or an alternate backup system that would
be SIMPLE (legitimate advice includes walk away from the computer and take a
nice long bike ride down by the ocean)?

Hi Rocky,



Try EASEUS.  I haven't tried making an image but for backups on W10 it works well.

I have several versions of SQL Server installed, and have managed to screw

Any suggestions as to how I can do this?

I have an old HP Millenium Edition tower (AMD-64, 5GB RAM, that is near and
dear to me because she's served me well for years and years. But of late
something's gone amiss. It boots up normally but after a while it just
arbitrarily powers down. Even more strangely, occasionally while in that
powered-down state it powers up, all on its own.

I'm guessing that it might be the power supply, but what I know about
hardware wouldn't fill a thimble. I hardly ever use this computer, since my
laptop is way more powerful. I don't want to spend a lot of money fixing
the problem, given current prices for a refurbished computer, but if only
for romantic/historical reasons, I'd like to keep her operational.

Does this symptom sound like a power supply problem? If not, any idea what
might be wrong?

Hi Arthur

It could be a faulty temperature sensor in the power supply or on the motherboard.

There are (free) software tools that will display what the machine thinks about the current condition (heat, voltage, etc.). Can't recall the name, sorry, but that may give you a hint.
