I’ll be willing to compromise on Super Fetch Intelligence

I scavenge old hardware from work. My rack is now complete (hardware wise, at least), as I powered up the JBOD cabinet today, consisting of a bunch of harddrives left over from disk upgrades at work. It’s a bunch of 10TB and 3TB SAS drive. That server used to be an automation controller, now it’s my storage server. I had 160G of DDR3 RAM laying around from a machine I retired a while back, which is nice to have with ZFS.

My VPN concentrator was a datalogger for two industry robots.

My web crawler was supposed to be a test-server for the software department, but they needed to upgrade.

The only new hardware is my game server, and RAM was over half the price. It’s a fairly standard AMD build, except I gave it a rackmount case.

My networking hardware is also from work, as I detest consumer grade networking hardware. I replaced my shitbox ISP router with a Fortigate 101E, for example.

EDIT: Oh, and the UPS was bought dirt cheap at a bankruptcy auction (coincidentally, the bankrupt entity was a competitor of my employer).

The rack itself was given away at a regional airport who was getting rid of some old and unused stuff. It’s soundproofed and costs a fortune new. By far my luckiest score.

Trump says a lot of vile shit. Adding adverbs doesn’t make it more newsworthy. Stop giving this buffoon media space.

I do not, but I did pull that picture off an ad for the exact type of plates my cats eat from

For the wet food, yes. And it just so happens that it’s not a bowl either: My cats happen to eat from these fancy desert plates we have but never use:

They’re low enough for them to easily access the food, they’re perfectly sized for the amount they eat, and they clean up nicely in the dishwasher at the end of the day.

The dry food bowl, on the other hand, is a basic metal bowl. They clean it well themselves.

My previous employer had it, but changed to a receipt based system instead. My guess is that they’re gambling on some not bothering with handing in miniscule amounts worth of paperwork.

I got poached by my current employer. I was looking for excuse to turn them down, so I responded with a list of demands, and they said yes to everything. The demands were mostly reasonable, with a couple of hilights. Off the top of my head:

• 40% pay increase
• Any flight over 4 hours will be business class if available
• I don’t hand in meal receipts for travel days. Flat sum per day no matter what. Cuts down on the paperwork.

Dåre is used in Norwegian too, but not by anyone under 70, I think. Only time I remember encountering that word was through ancient litteraturen in school some time in the previous century

That was the closest english-ish translation I could come up with for what we actually call it in this Norwegian household: Pasta la Dusta.

And dust is also an old slang for dumbass. Full circle.

Depends a lot how you interpret “great”. My personal favorites are, without picking a winner:
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Edinburgh, Brno

Been there. It’s hard to pick a “greatest” city, but Singapore is definitely up there. Amazing place.
