If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.

It’s called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.

I don’t know if you’re from the states but if you are purchasing mega millions or Powerball tickets, they stop sales at about 6:45 p.m. Pacific time and then do the drawing sometime after 7:00 of the same day.

I interpreted it as you would repeat the exact same day 365 times, not that you would repeat the exact same year over and over again.

I would take the +3 charm and groundhog Day for a year. It would be really awesome to have 3 charm instead of 0, and if I could repeat Tuesday for an entire year then I could learn skills and practice things and read a bunch of books and memorize and establish a plan to purchase a winning lottery ticket, not excessive but maybe like the mega millions I don’t know, and come out of the year into Wednesday with nine figures in my bank account and a clear plan of action.

One of the features of hell is that it plainly shows you how it can get worse but never shows you how it could get better.

What did you say? Why does this look like hieroglyphics?

Probably bandwidth. You download a game or five and then you’re good for a few weeks, whereas if you are streaming media you could run through several gigabytes a day of data per customer in perpetuity.

Obviously, with streaming media there is a continuously refreshing pool of money to cover those costs as compared to games being a one-time purchase, but even with that it would still take quite a while to expend the entire revenue of the purchased game in download expenses and storage overhead.

My problem with Pop OS is that on the two different machines I’ve installed it on it was very slow.

One of them made sense because it was an older mini Lenovo box, but the second machine I installed it on was a 10th gen Intel core i7 laptop with a Nvidia 2060 and 32 gigs of RAM and a decent one terabyte nvme SSD, and there would still be a massive pause with every click, somewhere between half a second and a second before anything would respond, and when updating or launching Firefox or anything it would always spin for a while and then pop up the sign saying this app is taking too long to respond.

Both of the devices were Lenovo devices, maybe there’s some sort of fundamental incompatibility or missing driver or something but I couldn’t cope with the lagginess of the OS.

Fedora worked swimmingly on both of them, for comparison.

I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.

The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they’re never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn’t actually mean that you are a competent IT person.

Yeah I only learned about that in the comments down below. I was just going off what they taught me when I took my network+ what 3 years ago?

Ethernet being reconditioned to Auto negotiate crossover connections was not covered or if it was it was a blurb and I forgot it in the meantime.

I was not aware of this!

You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.

Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.

Did you get your hypercube new in the store?

Lucky! I found mine on the side of the road and I had to stuff all the strings back into it. Took me ages!

Then I got like this dinosaur infestation I had to wipe them out with a fucking meteorite, and now I’m pretty sure I’ve got humans and I don’t know what to do anymore.

You could also put on one man bukkake shows

My guess is that if you’re going to start a MSP you can do that with Foss and probably have a lot of success as long as you’ve got the sales chops to get the contracts.

Then you can funnel some of your customers money to foss well also increasing awareness and adoption of the better free and open source software programs

Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.

Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you’re using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.

I don’t care if you’re on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

There’s something incredibly invigorating about using a blend of Listerine and hot sauce as lube

I mean wasn’t season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn’t enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

I think it was Confucius that said that society is best when the laws are simple and people understand the laws.

I mean what do we need with 5,000-year-old Chinese mysticism when we’ve got Elon musk shoving metal pellets into your medulla oblongata that can play ads at you in your dreams?
