Reducing everything to a single left-right axis is a very americanized view. This is a result of what is effectively a two-party system that somehow ended up being considered left and right, and all their political standpoints are then placed on the same axis.

Sunny side up, if you combine it with something (bacon, bread, shoots, kaviar, for example).

Hard boiled id you’re eating the eggs with nothing else.

They claimed that it was a more eco friendly coin, as it didn’t use GPU (and thereby not much electricity) but instead it caused harddrive prices to jump, due to excessive wear on drives. May for saving electricity, and instead causing a fuckton of e-waste, I guess.

I read up on this recently, and my understanding is that the solider is supposed to presume the order is legal and carry it out(otherwise, a CO should not have given it in the first place). However, they can refuse, but will face consequences in that they better have a buttload of proof.

In effect, they will get in trouble for disobeying an order, but if it is proven that the order was demonstrably illegal to begin with, then they will probably be in the clear.

I specifically referred to Chiacoin, as the topic was harddrives, not blockchain as a whole.

Used/refurb SAS drives aren’t that expensive. Can someone with better memory than I please link to that site for second hand server components?

The reason why SAS drives are usually more expensive isn’t because the tech itself is more expensive (It’s largelt just a different kind of interface), but rather that “enterprise grade” hardware have a few additional Q&A steps, such as running a break-in cycle at the factory to weed out defective units.

While a server such as the one you described is slightly power hungry, it’s not that bad. Plus, if you wanna get into servers long term, it could serve as a useful way to get used to the hardware involved.
Server hardware is at its core not that different from consumer hardware, but it does often come with some nice and useful additions, such as:

• Botswana drive bays (I tried to write “hotswap”, but autocorrect is probably correct.
• IPMI/iDRAC or equivalent for headless management
• Dual PSUs
• Rack mount capability
• Easy maintenance access to most hardware
• A ridiculous amount of sensors with automated warnings.

RAID is entirely optional. I seem to be the only one in here who actually like hardware RAID, as software RAID is more popular in the self hosting community. Using it is entirely optional and depends on your use case, though. If you wanna live without, use JBOD mode, and access each drive normally. Alternatively, pool as many disks as you want into RAID6 and you have one large storage device with built-in redundancy. RAIDs can either be managed from the BIOS, or from the OS using tools such as storcli.

Ex wife, maybe?

A fancy autocomplete is miles more useful than a shitcoin that you can’t even use for buying drugs. The only thing it did was double the price of harddrives and cause a mountain of ewaste.

At least they’re somewhat useful, as opposed to that harddrive-destroying block chain stuff a couple of years back. Chiacoin, or something?

Not a single instance like lemmynsfw, but there are NSFW-communities elsewhere. They’re mostly dormant, as lemmynsfw has filled that role up until recently, but I don’t see a problem with reviving alternatives.

Subbed.

I like the principle, but I think posts from that day would crowd the front page or the top section for too long after the day is over.

Yes, if they delete it you can start a new one with no problem. Also, they only seem to delete unused ones, though.

Whenever you have it set up properly, make a system for you to easily spin up an identical one. Terraform, ansible, etc.

Re N4: IIRC, The Presidents of the USA made a song about them.

Millions of leeches, leeches for me

Growing up in coastal scandinavia, learning to hate seagulls isn’t part of one’s upbringing. It comes naturally after experiencing living nearby them.

And shark jumping.

That pretty much sums up Lost for me. I probably watched longer than I needed to land on that conclusion, but I wanted to quit on a good point to leave the series behind.

I don’t remember exactly when I quit watching, but they managed to contact a ship and they were about to be rescued. My headcanon is that they made it home to live miserably ever after. I’ve since learned that the show got even worse.

Mandarin. It’d be useful for me to learn because of my job, and I’ve been meaning to learn it for quite a while. I just can’t seem to find a decent source for learning that doesn’t focus on the written language; I only need spoken Mandarin.

Two important lessons are opposite aspects of the same thing:

• You’re not entitled to anyone giving a fuck 😞
• Nobody gives a fuck 😀

In other words: You’re responsible for your own happiness. And whatever makes you happy, most people won’t care, and fewer will think any less of you for it. Enjoy what you like, and don’t worry too much about what others think.

I almost hit a whale with a tiny open boat. We were off the coast outside of brazil doing survey work, and one day I was piloting a small workboat for transferring some people and hardware between the two survey ships. After returning to my own ship I slowed down to a crawl while waiting for clearance to approach and the davit to be lowered. Suddenly a mountain surfaces right in front of me before it disappears again. Had I slowed down later than I actually did I would’ve run straight into it.

And 7 years later I almost hit a moose with a wellboat while testing a freshly installed autopilot system.
