Which is great. Disposal of the radioactive ones is hard. Wish the city came around and collected them.

People used to mine Bitcointhis was. Only in winter.

Everyone appears to be hitting the "shut up, no one cares".

There is also the "stop worrying, no one cares." This is meant to be reassuring. It may be literal.

The thing is.... The upgrade path degrades. Once one is 3 or more major versions behind, upgrading becomes technically challenging. (I have done this a few times....) It is better to just reinstall.

That said, a Debian system that works won't just stop working. My Raspberry Pi 2 has no issues since the initial install.

Professionally, it is better to have a fast recovery path. PXE boot, Debian preseed, a config management system (Ansible, Puppet, etc) and local caches and you can be set in 10 minutes. (After years of setting all of that up.)

Equal.

Assuming they consider the company evil, tbey both have a moral imperative to find another company.

And height. And speed. Maybe easier if there are zero planes, but not easy.

Figure out funding first.

HPC? Fuck we can't change shit in HPC. We tried a few times... Some sites appear manage it, but tend to forget a few dozen systems.

Nice!

I am currently setting up a FreeBSD ZFS file server. Software installs are so fast I thought they failed. (OS installer needs quality of life improvemens.)

Yes, normal. It is good for you and it is good for Linux.

Distros try different things, and it is good to be exposed to many of those. It helps to discover the most functional ideas and cross pollinate.

Wait until you try non-linux FOSS OSes...

Easier to distro hope if your data is safe elsewhere.

"Family Size" has no meaning anymore

Never did.

I tend to buy two at a time. Some are months old, others three years old.

Professionally, I have seen drives over 10 years always on at low utilization without issue. (The data was easily replaceable.)

crammed in to my case in a hideous way

Heat is a killer. Check them regularly.

After reading your replies, I am on edge.

Please consider the following questions.

What is the power dynamic?
Are there good reasons to stonewall you?

What happened to the first few teams you worked with? Did the engineers involved advance in their careers? Do they talk with you still? What about their prior interactions with your team and department? Do those engineers still work at the company?

If you are confident you are there to help then just speaking to them like people. Don't bullshit them. Push them up in their careers when you can. Get them what resources you can. Support them in their goals. Do a good job and you won't get them to shut up.

I don't think the "natural properties" of a career or industry will be enough to be lowest. I think an industry or career with high oversight from many individuals and regulators. Likely something that has fucked up before, and massively.

Slot machine programmer.

• regulated industry
• work can be checked many times
• customers (casinos) don't want to be fucked
• gamblers don't want to be fucked
• loads of money to be made doing things well
• lots of scary people willing to drop you in a hole

Remember we gotta open the pages we want more news like.

98SE was peak.

Better Ohio than Indiana....

I am afraid you are misunderstanding me.

There is no way to control who you are attracted to. You control do fully control what you act on.

You could avoid looking at "supermodels". Maybe that will help.

If you want to date supermodels, then improve yourself enough they want to date you. If that is not possible, then consider getting professional psychiatric help for this "supermodel" thing.

Regular people should improve themselves. That is all they can do.

Stop focusing on your looks. Become someone who: likes themselves, is funny, is caring, is growing their career, is good fixing things, is strong, is a leader, helps others, can sing well, or something else.

Unexpectedly, showing progress is nearly as important than the end state. Someone growing their career and becoming funny, gets most of the points for having a good career and being funny (note actual progress, not day dreaming).

My advice is to pursue whatever you guess will help you like yourself, but that is not necessary.

Improve yourself.
