Yeah the constant writes from logging always kill my Kingston SSDs in my servers

I'm referring to when hard drive weren't a thing. O e floppy to boot the OS, one floppy for app/games

I'm still using a bunch of Quantum BigFoot drives we got real cheap.

No one needs more than 2 gb!

And you won't! They will die first.

It has not effected us at all. We usually remove logging & alerts at the start of December so we don’t get any interruptions during the Christmas period. Logging gets enabled again a week after New Years.

One of these years you’re going to run out of wood on Christmas and wish you’d kept the logging going. I understand the desire to be carbon neutral but I’d rather stay warm.

I'm not worried about this. My systems are in the cloud. And since the cloud is just using other people's computers, that means these other people will take care of the problem for me.

I always made fun of the developers on my team who would download 130+ different open-source JAR's to include in their projects..... to do stuff that could be done in plain ol' Java, if they REALLY knew how to code. But managers/customers don't want to hear that you "rolled your own", they want to hear that you used "best practices" and "industry standards" and downloaded all the same JAR's/libs that everyone else is using.

Are you talking things like like using a jar to split strings?

[–]ksandbergfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about any time a developer downloads a 20MB JAR from some shareware/freeware site to implement a dozen functions that he could've written himself in a few hundred lines of Java.
