Huh, looks like my days of having absolutely zero interest in going to Dubai are coming to a middle

You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.

This is what I fight against every goddamn day, and I get yelled at for fighting against it, but I’m not going to stop. I want to build shit that I can largely forget about (because, you know, it’s reliable and logically extensible and maintainable) after it gets to a mature state, and I’m not shy about making that known. This has led to more than a few significant conflicts over the course of my career. It has also led to me saying “I fucking told you so” more than a few times.

If there’s a real world screen showing a real world ad to you, you’ve got to be really careful not to lean against the screen with a broken spark plug or some other sort of ceramic shard, because you could easily shatter the screen and make it really hard for you and other people to be advertised to 👉👈🥺

That is some big dick energy ngl

I don’t fucking care.

They’re gonna have the day they voted for. I am completely out of any fucking sympathy for idiots who vote against their own interests and well being. Entirely fucking done.

No it’s not.

Still got an old Panasonic plasma from 2010 and it’s going strong.

But I am aware of the “wonders” of post-purchase monetization, which is how they’re printing out so many of these cutting edge OLED big screens for surprisingly low initial purchase prices

Some loops of copper and a LOT of current

Says someone who’s never melted a hard drive :D

It’s honestly easier to just disassemble them and then hack the platters up, if you’re really that paranoid. Or just melt it down with an inductive heater.

Now that’s a username I can trust.

Specifically? Who knows, but the concept has already been tested by someone, and afaik, they have still not figured out who did it.

Mmmm I am a childless man, and I live by myself, and I am 100% cool with that, and feel fine. But to be fair, I’ve got a pretty good circle of friends, and a really strong core friend group.

They’re slow, but they’re WAY more robust than most SSDs - and in terms of $/TB, it’s not even close. Especially if you’re comparing to SLC enterprise-grade.

I mean personally, for long term data hoarding, I dislike running anything below raidz2, and imo anything less than 5 disks in that setup is just silly and inefficient in terms of cost/benefit. So I currently have 5x16TB in raidz2. The 60% capacity efficiency kinda blows, but also I didn’t want to spend any more on rust than I did at the time, and the array is still working great, so whatever. For me, that was a reasonable balance between power draw, disk count, cost, and capacity.

Gotta remove that French locale cruft. And don’t forget to get rid of the stale baguettes too.

Ok, I’m sorry, but… HOW??? How is it possibly two hundred fucking gigabytes??? What the fuck is taking up so much space???

Imagine how long it’ll take to rebuild your raid array after one fails lol

If I found out I was being interviewed by an LLM, I would hang up the phone.
