Now you’re throwing ad hominem around. You don’t need to be toxic to communicate your point, web development did at one point have a lot of growing to do and I can admit that there is still plenty of progress to be made. In 2024 however, ignoring the web ecosystem as any type of developer is purely traditionalist elitism.
I haven’t met an “engineer” who isn’t developing code. This is such a weird distinction. The people asking for a design are the customer, the high level design handled by the product manager, the nitty gritty is handled by the software engineers. Some businesses may make a distinction for payroll purposes but there is no prevailing standard.
I doubt many are looking for 8-bay DAS, anything larger than 4-bay you are probably better off with NAS. Many DAS have limited RAID support, which can make having more drives more risky.
The worse part of xitter is how they broke access to everything if you aren’t a registered user. They even break the chronological order of posts for anonymous users. I don’t feel encouraged to make a xitter account when I can’t even see things without one, it just makes me feel like I’m signing up to be another piece of livestock.
Sometimes I wonder how many advertisements are heavily influenced by AI-generated prompts. How many reels on YouTube are just AI generated scripts? How many posts on Reddit are just rehashed AI nonsense?
This is how we handled camera servers at one of my former jobs, we just setup HP SFF desktops with Windows and the software and turned on the watchdog timer, always did the trick when power outages or system hangups happened.
When I was growing up I was at my grandmother’s house out in the woods, she had land on a hill so the sky was pretty visible and usually very clear at night. The stars were easy to spot. One particular night I was looking down her driveway when I saw the entire sky light up green. It turns out meteorites burning up in the atmosphere can turn the whole sky green suddenly, but I didn’t know that at the time and it freaked me out bad.
The human mind is a weird thing. That second one sounds like a very convincing hallucination to me, even feeling the hand. It could be you were in between that state of awake and asleep, it definitely sounds like the kind of thing someone who has had sleep paralysis experiences.
I eat processed foods, living in the States it’s nearly impossible to avoid. But I also don’t look at Cheerios and think they actually improve heart health, or that they provide any sort of nutritional benefit that any other cereal wouldn’t. It’s much more convenient for people to just believe what a box says instead of comparing the product to any other product on offer, or better yet reconsidering how healthy breakfast cereal is in general.
