  • It's crazy how builders are even allowed to cheap out by building housing with a stove vent hood that only vents indoors. One of the first things I did on my house when I moved in was replace the vent hood with a higher flow one, add a booster fan inline with the duct work, and replace the flex duct with sheet metal ducting. I can't imagine cooking without it and I don't even cook with gas.

  • The number of bugs I've encountered on HPE server hardware that cause full system lockups is insane. They've sent out engineering and collected logs and released new firmwares based on bugs I've found and been able to reliably replicate. Unfortunately, it took years of tickets, and wasted weekends to finally get them to admit it was their issue. Their iLO firmware is pretty buggy and I've had many problems with it over the years. To be fair Dell's iDRAC has bugs too, and their lifecycle controllers leave much to be desired, but thankfully none have been showstoppers like I've experienced with HPE gear.

    HPE's storage systems have been quite problematic for me as well. I ran some of their EVA P6000 arrays back in the day and had too many scary moments keeping those online. I switched to Compellent arrays after that and they were awesome. Unfortunately, Dell retired that line in 2021, so now I'm giving their Powerstore arrays a try and so far the experience has been good.

  • Same here. I used the paid version sync for reddit for years and got my money's worth out of it. When the incident happened I switched to infinity and, while annoyed, I definitely felt I got my worth out of it. When ljdawson released sync for lemmy and added the ad-free upgrade I happily purchased it and I have been very satisfied with the app and all the improvements he is continually making. This is all coming from a hardcore open source 20+ years of Linux on the desktop guy.
