Wait that’s what you would do if you had nothing to lose? Why wouldn’t you just do that now?

FYI many credit cards will allow you to make virtual numbers which you can then use for individual purchases or groups of purchases. They were originally meant to help combat fraud but I use them for subscription services so that if they give me a hard time about quitting I can simply cancel the card number and file a dispute (which in my few experiences has always gotten me my “overage” fees back)

Goddamnit. I was sad and still laughed.

The safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.

And it was powered by Linus Torvalds!

I don’t think the Mediaworkstations a-X2P ever came out of “limited production”, but with an EPYC processor, desktop GPU and 6 screens it still meets the mark IMO.

[Edit]: Sorry, a pair of EPYC processors. And it’s a shipping product.

He probably would have figured it out had he had time to evolve into Megahertz.

It’s hard to imagine how an LLM would figure out gate-level performance improvements but I could definitely see a GAN doing that with enough time and effort.

I like to imagine there’s a Church of GPLv3 in this universe where the fundamentalist copyleft zealots pray to a warhammer-style forever-preserved skeleton of RMS.

A couple prices that went up also have come down, but not by as much as they went up.

I wish there was a good way to track this, because you know a bunch of corps are going to be trying to pass the buck (while also keeping it)
