I was honestly mostly thinking out loud. I can't remember when I last saw him in a video, and I don't know how long it takes for a Canadian work visa to translate into citizenship so I was really just guessing based on no evidence.

And I'm talking about 10+ year old videos that may or may not still be up for when he wasn't a citizen yet, because that was when they were teasing him for not owning anything yet because he just moved to the country

It's called Player Pro made by BlastOn SA. I purchased it about a decade ago because it had an equalizer that would let me balance my audio or make it mono as I kept having earbuds break lose one ear, but they keep updating it and it's got nice Android Auto integration among other useful features

While reading the Democratic Party's official platform I noticed it has a couple of extra blank pages that were almost certainly inserted by Word formatting errors

ProTip: when editing large documents (especially useful for ones with images!) inserting page breaks at the end of sections of the document (shift-enter by memory) can help prevent formatting issues from cascading out of the current section of the document

it was racist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic jokes

I feel like the world grew up and accepted that these jokes aren't funny, but the small subset of people who are actually bigoted ignored the memo. But there is definitely a growing up element to it as well

Before instance blocking was a thing I blocked individual trolls wheb I saw them and after about the fifth block I didn't see a lot of hexbear, so it they have a few very loud individuals but instance blocking hexbear really made my browsing a lot more chill

I think they do new aggregation rather than original reporting? Idk I haven't really looked at yahoo in about 20 years

Vans are more fuel efficient, smaller and lighter than trucks while generally performing most/all of the same duties just as well if not better

You underestimate the rate of deficit spending some men in the country engage in for their gender affirming vehicles...

Honestly when they first launched Channel Super Fun while at the Langley house they really were acting more like a fraternity than like employees at a company sponsored event (and I've been to some interesting company-sponsored events with virtually unlimited free alcoholic drinks and none have concerned me as much for the company culture as LTT's early channel super fun videos)

They also really harassed Dennis a lot, to the point where he, not yet a citizen of the country he's on a work visa in, looked close to tears and seemed to not be enjoying it. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in any videos for quite a while, so I wonder if he bounced as soon as he got Canadian citizenship...

 

I placed a low bid on an auction for 25 Elitedesk 800 G1s on a government auction and unexpectedly won (ultimately paying less than $20 per computer)

In the long run I plan on selling 15 or so of them to friends and family for cheap, and I'll probably have 4 with Proxmox, 3 for a lab cluster and 1 for the always-on home server and keep a few for spares and random desktops around the house where I could use one.

But while I have all 25 of them what crazy clustering software/configurations should I run? Any fun benchmarks I should know about that I could run for the lolz?

Edit to add:

Specs based on the auction listing and looking computer models:

  • 4th gen i5s (probably i5-4560s or similar)
  • 8GB of DDR3 RAM
  • 256GB SSDs
  • Windows 10 Pro (no mention of licenses, so that remains to be seen)
  • Looks like 3 PCIe Slots (2 1x and 2 16x physically, presumably half-height)

Possible projects I plan on doing:

  • Proxmox cluster
  • Baremetal Kubernetes cluster
  • Harvester HCI cluster (which has the benefit of also being a Rancher cluster)
  • Automated Windows Image creation, deployment and testing
  • Pentesting lab
  • Multi-site enterprise network setup and maintenance
  • Linpack benchmark then compare to previous TOP500 lists
 

I'm currently decluttering and reducing to get a handle on my home, and I've come to a conundrum of how many plates/bowls/cups/etc do I actually need? I have 2 young kids that we'd prefer not to have to run to the store at 8pm to buy more plates because someone ruined a plate, but very limited cupboard space (small 120-something year old house with a kitchen that was built in the 50s)

I'm just going to be vulnerable for a minute here. I met the first person in real life who had similar server-y linux-y obsessions to me and we'd send eBay links of systems to drool over to eachother. They ended up being a terrible person but hid it from me pretty well until they couldn't anymore and now I no longer have someone to chat with about those things.

So um, I guess I'm open for applications for the position of "nerdy friend who I nerd too hard with about network infrastructure and Linux packages" now
