In my case, I use a PCI card with an m.2 slot for my OS drive. I lose a PCI slot, but I already had a few to spare.

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.

As mentioned by others, he “retired” a few months ago, but he’s not the only one at fault. Many of the other executives contributed to the terrible decision making that landed the company in its current situation and they need to be cut loose as well.

When I have no choice but to interact with people, I do my best to treat them with respect. However, I would say I’m generally ambivalent toward people overall and do my best to avoid them. I’m just not a social person and I never will be. Being forced into social settings is exceptionally stressful to me.

I can confirm from firsthand experience how miserable that is, having passed multiple kidney stones shaped like that. Doesn’t even need to be larger than a few millimeters in diameter to make you wish you were dead just to escape from hours torturous pain.

Late 30s here and I beat that level for the first time very recently. My mind was blown when I learned that was not the final level of the game.

If anyone demands I implement some feature into one of my open source projects that I either don't have time for or don't want to do, my response is one of the following:

1. I'll get to it when I can (if I actually care to do it)
2. You are welcome to implement it yourself and submit a PR
3. You are welcome to fork the project and do it yourself or convince someone else to do it

But thankfully, my projects don't have a very wide audience, so requests/demands are rare.

Something tells me the batcave does not have OSHA’s stamp of approval.

Wait, are you telling me that business ethics are actually a real thing? I thought somebody made that up as a meme. Every corporate executive I’ve ever worked for has been a borderline, if not full blown, sociopath obsessed with nothing more than getting richer at everyone else’s expense. Maybe they all skipped that class?

I loved Xillia! I keep hoping against all odds they’ll remaster it for modern platforms like Symphonia or Vesperia.

I do see a decent amount of activity on it. Full disclaimer, I am not a security expert. I know just enough to be dangerous. But, I see at least a few connection attempts from different IPs about every day. The top 3 countries of origin are China, Russia, and Brazil (based on the reverse DNS, but it’s possible some are using VPNs to hide their origin). My impression is they’re all bots that just go through a list of IP addresses, attempting to connect to the standard ssh port, then guessing the username and password. What I’ve found is they usually go through a list of likely ssh ports until one of them connects. Having the default port open to only the honeypot means they usually establish the connection, then leave it at that, so my real ssh port never gets hit. I kinda think of it like scambaiting, where I’m just wasting time they might otherwise spend trying to break into someone else’s real ssh server.

I have https open along with a non-standard port for ssh. Just for fun, I have the standard ssh port open, but redirecting to a Raspberry Pi running a honeypot. It’s fun to mess with foreign bots trying to access my network.

Could also have been one of the devs who leaked it. Lots of us keep copies of the source for stuff we work on, so they may have figured it’s been long enough that no one would care if it leaked. However, I haven’t looked at it yet, but I imagine it would be most problematic legally if it contained proprietary 3rd party code. Leaking that could land someone in hot water.

I’m still fucking with the apache configs (I fucking hate apache…). As someone with no docker experience whatsoever, are there any getting started guides you would recommend for someone looking to make the switch?

My main distro for years has been Mint, but I play around with a several others frequently. For me, it comes down to the package managers I feel most comfortable in (I know apt the best, but I know zypper and pacman ok enough to get by) and the window manager integration. Personally, I prefer Cinnamon and I think Mint has the best integration for it. My only complaint with Mint lately is the difficulty of getting nvidia drivers to work properly. It should be as simple as selecting the driver you want in the driver manager, but secureboot complicates things a bit.

Fun fact, MoltenVK enables running Vulkan on macOS. It does so by forwarding Vulkan calls into Metal. There’s a little bit of extra work involved in setting up the Vulkan instance under the hood, but it’s otherwise easy to forget it’s running on top of Metal. Granted, it would have been nice if Apple had just included native support for Vulkan out of the box.
