What do you do if you have a horse that dies or has to be put down? You call your neighbor down the road who has an excavator and ask him to dig you a horse sized hole. Then you bury it. If you don’t, you won’t want to leave your house for at least a week.
Film Studios:
“We’ll recycle the same theme’s and franchises over and over until they’re completely worn out AND we’ll paywall the shit out of our media so everyone has to have 27 subscriptions to watch anything remotely interesting. Oh, and you’re going to like it because we said so.”
Also Film Studios:
“Wait, where are you going!? Why aren’t you giving us money??? Come back! You can’t not subscribe!”
Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?
If ISP’s are liable for piracy, so are power utilities.
Completely agree. It’s honestly shameful that a nation of our wealth and status is willing to accept one of the worst healthcare systems in the developed world. You need not look further than rural America to see that a big chunk of the “system” is on the verge of collapse.
I am also incensed that so many people seem to not have insurance. One thing I can say, is that I have never had a problem paying for generic or name brand, because my insurance covers it.
Guilty as charged. Currently at a career crossroads and don’t have insurance. Have to pharmacy shop a lot depending on who has the best price with a Good Rx coupon.
My Psychiatrist that I’ve been seeing for years now is retiring at the end of the year. Good ones are very hard to find and I’m not looking forward to it.
The whole process is a joke in the US as well. Since stimulants are a controlled substance, you have to have a new prescription every month AND you have to wait exactly 30 days to fill it at which point every pharmacy in town will jerk you around for a couple days until you finally find one that:
A.) Actually has your medication. Not says they have it on the phone and then “Oppsie! We lied. We don’t actually have it. We do have the name brand that’s 3 times as expensive.”
B.) Will actually fill it instead of telling you they’ll fill it only to backpedal when you go to pick it up because of some bullshit policy.
C.) Will fill it without whining at you, “cAn YoU pLeAsE sEnD yOuR OtHeR pReScRiPtIoNs hErE toO sO wErE FiLlInG mOrE tHaN jUsT yOuR StImUlAnTs??”
Apparently we somehow still have a shortage of Vyvanse (and the generic)?
Also, Fuck CVS in particular. How they manage to run a pharmacy worse than Walmart and still stay in business is beyond me.
Yep. Split tunneling has been a standard option for a long time.
Wireguard. Wireguard is fairly easy to configure and keeping your setup behind the firewall is much less headache in the long run.
First rule of hosting publicly available services is “Don’t. Unless you absolutely have to.” Second rule is: “If you have to, do it very carefully.”
The benefit of splitting services between VM’s is the same as it always has been: I can break one service without breaking ALL of them. Containers are an improvement over native installs but they do not solve this problem completely.
Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.
Ah Manage Engine. Lots of full featured products that are roughly 75% complete.
The kind of place where “backups” means playing Russian Roulette with one set of old ass tapes, if you’re lucky.
If you’re not spending half your day testing vacuum tubes one at a time, are you even a real engineer?
I know I’ve got a punch card sorter around here somewhere.
Tools. Usually on top of a step ladder. It happens when I’m working on a project and I have to get down for some reason. I think, “I’ll just leave this [hammer, screwdriver, drill, etc.] up here for a second. I’ll totally remember it’s there.”
To the surprise of no one here, I do not remember. Until I go to move the ladder and get clobbered with said tool. I’ve gotten a lot better at just taking everything down with me. 🤷♂️
Forgot “Pasting it into a Word document”.
Bringing back Gnutella.
Definitely easier if you can plan it in advance.
