Centered and not too wide.

Free except from the drive to get there. But the drive is a lot cheaper than those racks would cost.

Vent fans at the top and the bottom. But it can be next to my work desk without the hardware getting annoying.

Not working on anything particular, but I’m going on a road trip on Tuesday to this regional airport that is giving away two racks perfect for my use case. Deep enough for my larger machines, sound proofed and 42U tall.

Finally my hardware can have a proper rack instead of being in a stack/pile in this harrypotteresque locker under my stairs.

Sounds like a problem that would solve itself

Not much these days. While it used to be “everything”, now it’s:

• Http/https
• dns
• Wireguard
• Minecraft
• beegfs

Here in Norway, Bernie and AOC would be considered center. Even our conservative party would be considered radical left by Fox News.

In the US, the overton window is so weirdly deformed that it’s not even on a building anymore. It somehow ended up hovering mid-air a short walk away from the nearest wall.

That’d probably rattle some managers’ cages, yes.

Alternatively, a combination of find /, rand, xarg, and rm could also be fun; delete something random, and pray it was just a readme file

It won’t delete anything at all

This is actually safe to run, as --no-preserve-root is missing

A rough estimate tells me that’s their equivalent of us fucking for 40 days straight.

EDIT: Actually, I think it’s closer to a year.

My home servers have generally a lot smaller attack surface, as only a few ports are actually routed to them, so in theoey I could get away with a more relaxed approach. But I’m also a big believer in defense-in-depth, so I follow the same rules of thumb:

• iptables (or equivalent) that drops anything incoming that isn’t wanted. It also rejects anything going out that isn’t planned for.
• any public facing service (except ssh) gets its own user
• disable root login via ssh
• ssh login with key only on any user in sudoers

If I was on my laptop and not my phone I would post a screenshot with a P just for you

Well, there’s a footnote on my end: Me taking the drives home is a bit of a grey area, as the procedures say that the drives are to be mechanically destroyed when no longer needed. It doesn’t specify needed by whom. And I do attack them with my angle grinder, so it’s in accordance with company policy.

And yes, my employer knows and is OK with it. We go through a ridiculous amount of drives due to large storage needs, so pragmatism tends to trump bureaucracy.

I usually scavenge old drives from work. On one hand they’re a bit smaller than I’d like them to be, but on the other hand they’re free except from the minor work and documentation involved in ensuring that no company related data remain.

Thanks for this, as it explains a lot.

Also, wouldn’t Qhadafia be better explained through Rhodesia?

No Pornhub option?

Yup, there’s no kinkshaming here

“Task failed successfully” was actually uttered numerous times earlier this week at work; we were testing this robotics and automation system and trying to detect various failure modes, and this was declared every time we managed to produce a new fault. This was so that we could write procedures on what the operators should do under various circumstances.

He’s missing the wedding ring
