Thank you, that’s an excellent read! This reminds me of the “expected value of perfect information” - sometimes it is worthwhile to answer a question, and sometimes it isn’t. Every once in a while I find myself in an engineering call discussing a minor problem, and I run the numbers to see if the change we are discussing is even worth talking about. One time the combined salaries of the people on the call had already outpaced the cost savings of the change over the next 10 years. We quickly stopped that discussion lol

Is American Pragmatism a thing? If you explain it to me, will I feel better about myself?

Are you telling me that pop tarts are not in fact ravioli?

lite-xl with LSP gives you most of the features of vscode (they’re both lsp) at a tiny percentage of the system resources

Time to dive into the wide world of VTTYs. I believe you’re writing to pts3’s output buffer - writing to its input buffer is a different virtual device / may be a process descriptor, I’m not sure. Look into the history of vttys and it should start to make sense.

That’s always a tough one!

I don’t mind the wire, but wireless could be very nice. I’m an audio technica fan.

It would be awesome to have headphones with a good microphone, for calls at work. They’ll also have to be comfortable - I like to jam while writing code for multi-hour sessions.

My home computer doesn’t have bluetooth, so I’m probably team wired.

I listed to marina and the diamonds and tool. Maybe they could pitch me better headphones? I am actually in the market for new headphones.

The music streaming service, that I stream music from, knows which music I streamed. I’m shocked.

Your network flow is from your server, to your router, to your android phone, to your router, to your chromecast. If that’s all wifi, then every frame crosses the air 4 times, and you’re doing transcoding on the phone in the middle.

Casting sucks.

The eu is very upset about this opposition, and published a hit piece “fact checking” pdf against it.

I recommend 3.5s - they’ll be a little cheaper and a little more readily available. It’s also worth noting that sata drives can plug into your SAS controller, so you can use any and all 3.5” drives that you can find :)

You’ll want to learn the difference between SAS and SATA connectors. You can very probably use either. 3.5 inch is the “standard” size, while 2.5 inch was more popular for laptops. However, in the interest of density, servers started accepting 2.5 inch drives to fit more drives per rack.

You can get great deals on used sas drives on ebay, but if you don’t know how to monitor s.m.a.r.t. data / rebuild a zfs array, that can be very very risky. You need to be able to survive concurrent disk failures.

Honestly your best bet is brand new western digital or seagate drives. Buy them on amazon, but double check that the seller is legit. That’s it.

It is exceptional, thank you for asking :)

But, dare I say, does that not make a ravioli a sandwich? A poptart? Mayhaps even … Lasagna?

Ah, you proclaim! But those are cooked further!

But so too is a grilled cheese! And a patty melt!

Where will the madness end?
