Space bends due to gravity. Light continues in a straight line through the now non-linear space, thus appearing to bend.

Clockwise=lockwise

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.

Care to elaborate? Every cloud “solution” I’ve been pitched is just a super expensive way to bottleck everything at the router.

Literally billions of people are. Do you think meat just spontaneously appears in the supermarket?

Quite the opposite. Cannibalism(assuming you obtain consent) would be ethical meat consumption.

Can you provide an example of this? Only time I’ve encountered that behaviour was with a laptop that had a defective lid-switch.

Raid 0 offers no redundancy though. If any of those three disks fail, you lose the entire volume.

For the sake of backups, switching to Raid 5 would be more robust

Fair. No arduino kits though?

If you’re going to the expense of putting a camera on it, why not take it a little further and slap together an arduino-based sensor suite with some logging? See if you can find any correlations in temp/humidity/gas conc that might help with diagnosis.

I’ve never encountered that theory before. As far as my exposure has been, most opposition to 1080 is based around bykill; the effect of the poison on non-target species.

The scientific evidence suggests that the number of natives killed unintentionally by 1080 drops is more than compensated by the increased survival rates of those who now suffer less predation, but walk into any pub and you’ll find half a dozen people throwing out anecdotes about silent forests in the days after 1080 drops.

It is a very popular Single Board Computer, with a lot of community support that allows people to build and program a variety of things for a low price. Think of it like lego, but for things which can be useful as well as fun.

Want to run a weather station? Pi and a couple of off the shelf sensors, done.

Want to control your lights or appliances from your phone without getting out of bed? Pi and a couple of off the shelf relays, done.

Want to build a retro gaming console? Pi, a couple of off the shelf controllers and some pre-made emulators, done.

I would argue that the modern smartphone is different, but by no means better. Between the locked down operating systems and the lack of a physical keyboard they are great for consuming media through approved channels, but basically useless if you want to get any work done with them.

She’s been kidnapped by a wizard holding her is a temporal bubble that is perpetually 30 minutes away from you, regardless of your position or velocity. If you move incredibly slowly you can actually see her.

Name your playlist. ‘X Gon give it to ya’ is definitely on there somewhere.

Haha, ditto. I’ve got the 34inch 4:3 for tasks like cad and image stuff, then next to it the 34inch ultramodern which I use for spreadsheets or multi-pane stuff, then my extra monitor up that lives up at a weird angle is my at-a-glance home for slack, btop, nvtop and any running scripts I want to keep an eye on.

Why does anyone care what time you turn up at the office? People have different sleep preferences and family commtiments. Just schedule any all-hands meetings for a mutually agreeable time and let people live their lives.

I trust my people to spend their time wisely and to self direct if we’re not online at the same time. Shit gets done. Why would I fuck up someone’s sleep in, or put them under unnecessary pressure when they’re trying to prep their kids for school, just to have our clock-ins line up on a spreadsheet I’m never going to look at?
