That’s ok, with how much more they’re paid than everyone else I’m sure they’re all far too clever to be fooled - corporations are the epitome of a meritocracy don’t you know?

Very funny that Brazil is basically the only country so far with the balls to have stood up to this loser

It’s the perfect combo of cozy but not zero challenge - this would be my pick in op’s shoes

I know it’s not totally relevant but I once convinced a company to run their log aggregators with 75 servers and 15 disks in raid0 each.

We relied on the app layer to make sure there was at least 3 copies of the data and if a node’s array shat the bed the rest of the cluster would heal and replicate what was lost. Once the DC people swapped the disk we had automation to rebuild the disks and add the host back into the cluster.

It was glorious - 75 servers each splitting the read/write operations 1/75th and then each server splitting that further between 15 disks. Each query had the potential to have ~1100 disks respond in concert, each with a tiny slice of the data you asked for. It was SO fast.

Lol dammit this got me.

Seriously though, can I come if I’m fleeing there with my trans parter? I’m legit scared of what this government will do, hopefully somewhere in BC will be safer than living under this government that seems to want us erased.

Sorry Canadian bros, I technically have citizenship though I’ve been down here my entire life, probably moving back and doing the spousal sponsorship thing.

Best part? This past year it was a huge deal and a big step for her - we finally waded through the mountain of red tape to get her markers and name on her drivers and passport updated to match her appearance. It was a big step in her being able to buy booze without being misgendered. The consequence it’s that any of the shady fucks they’ll install in the state department can probably run a search and find out where we fucking live. Fucking fantastic.

Honestly if anyone has advice for a tech worker trying to move, I’d really appreciate it.

If it makes you feel better, I bet you can guess how we’ll vote.

I have to say I’ve also been enjoying my synology - going on almost 7 years since this thing was released and I get security updates regularly still. Will buy again once this thing dies.

If any of us did something like this we’d get years.

This is the weirdest cyberpunk future.

On one hand, we have surgeons performing surgery with literal augmented reality,

On the other hand, if you’re poor you’ll never have an iota of a chance of seeing that doctor.

I heard they cause 5G

The absolutely terrifying thing is that we have no real idea what the health effects will be. Hope it’s not cancer!

Plastic is going to be the next leaded gasoline

I will be loudly knocking on wood after posting this, but I set up my NAS with RAID5 and have had 1 drive die on me but I hot-swapped one in and recovered the entire volume.

No regrets, highly recommend raid5
