I’ve got duo; we had to have it at my uni for 2FA for our school emails. As far as I can tell it really isn’t very invasive. That said, I do think it tracks general location but I don’t believe it goes further than that.

Oh, of course. There are negatives to everything for sure. But I think as a whole it’s made life better in a lot of different ways.

Near-infinite access to pretty much any information you can possibly dream of, content, questions, etc, on a little device in your pocket

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”

Shitty k8s cluster/space heater?

…absolutely, positively, super false. I work in a sector where we’re constantly dealing with huge capacity enterprise SSDs - 15 and 30 terabytes at times. Always using RAID. It’s not even a question. Not only can you have controller malfunctions, but even though you’ve got what’s known as “over provisioning” on the SSDs, you still need to watch out for total disk failures!

On the Pentalobe screw front, albeit somewhat random, I do know that all Samsung SATA & SAS 2.5” SSDs use Pentalobe screws to hold them together. Unsure if there are other Samsung products that use them as well but I deal with their drives on a weekly basis.

Amazing, factorio is the greatest

Not sure because I use TestFlight but I believe it’s because they pushed a huge app update today. They pushed it for TestFlight a week or two back and it logged me out then as well.

Quick note - HGST enterprise drives are great but those fuckers are LOUD. I’ve had one in my PC for a number of years and it’s done great, pretty quick too - but I can hear it across the room.

Hmm, well that’s good to hear, about the whole Tailscale thing. I was a bit confused on how that’s actually interacting with the internet. I suppose that even though I can access the stuff from anywhere, I do need the account to actually do so.

To your point about SSH keys - could you elaborate a bit more? I am familiar with SSH in that it exists, but past that, the whole key thing is a bit of a black box (which is part of this whole thing… to learn more about it!)

That’s pretty sweet. Have always wanted one of those terminals; I feel like you could do so many things with them.

You’ve programmed Tek vector terminals, as in, you used to work for Tek? Or just on the side as a hobby or something?

do not

I did the same thing with “thanks much”/“thank ya much” and now it’s my thing… gotta love it

And rabbits. And kudzu. And Asian carp. Etc…

Certainly could be
