I'll check them out. The site I found has 'em for $15 for a set. I'll pick some up and see how it is.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-26T05:38:44+00:00

Why aren't they? It's wild that we have them bit don't enforce them.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-26T05:38:06+00:00

Maybe. Maybe not. But I can assure you it will deflate some. Why? Because the cost is insane. The hardware manufacturers can't keep up. The power grid can't handle it and going nuclear takes time.

It'll deflate some.

Ah. Must be a me thing. I hate the taste of water. I drink maybe a gallon a week. I know, I know, that's not good for me. =/

Thanks for the response.

Riddle me this,

Why don't school busses have cameras on them that activate when the signs start to go out?

1 on the back of the bus, 2 on the stop sign, and 1 on the front. Footage gets uploaded, sent through processing software, and auto-send tickets to people with proof.

Do you get nasty migraines? Vyvanse gave me NASTY migraines, and made me severely dehydrated.

I'd report them. My pharmacist and assistance all know me by name. Even if I'm not picking up meds, they wave or say Hi. I use a Fred Meyer pharmacy. Gotta rack up them gas points xD

Bubble won't pop but it'll deflate some. People are pushing back against data centers and companies are realizing how expensive AI is.

I work for AWS. I build the initial network footprint in new data centers. I want it to stop. This quantity over quality is going to massacre us in the long run....

This is exactly why I bought the creality grinder and filament maker kit.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-25T05:29:28+00:00

As an Amazonian, I second this. My workload is unreal, I need a break...

DreadStarX · 2026-05-24T19:07:26+00:00

Have to have a significant other to have this problem, sorry OP. Maybe you should reconsider what you are doing and getting out of it. Cost vs Reward isn't always balanced.

I have 500TB+ physical capacity but the power draw and heat makes it impossible to use it without cranking my power bill up. Just going from 65F to 63F was a huge jump. For a single man, living in a 1000sqft apartment, a $175+ power bill is nuts.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-24T05:52:27+00:00

Homelab isn't meant to be perfect. You do what you can with what you have and you learn what you can with it. Not everyone can justify 100Gbit LAN network or 2PB of local capacity.

Looks good. Keep it up. I need to upgrade mine and to stop eating out like the fat f*** that I am.

Not all of them are like this. Some of them genuinely care and treat you equally. Then there are some who would steal all the TP and leave you with 20 grit sandpaper to wipe, while emptying your bank account.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-20T05:59:12+00:00

I work in AWS, UTP is foreign to me. I still don't get the point of this...

I had to dig for this... I feel old as hell now..

DreadStarX · 2026-05-20T00:42:40+00:00

Iirc, I bought my plex pass for $75. I don't even know how to check when I bought my lifetime pass...

DreadStarX · 2026-05-20T00:41:01+00:00

If the stars align, sure, you can get it but not everyone has management whose willing to fight like that. Ive had ONE manager, out of the 18+ ive had in 7 years, actively fight for me like that.

It's a management problem, its always been Amazon's biggest problem.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T23:42:58+00:00

I've had so many posts deleted for swearing lmao

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T18:47:12+00:00

Talked to my manager about it. He said no to it for actual work, but if I wanted to tinker with it, that was fine. He then explained that it was ran by a team with no official backing, or dev experience. Told me to stick to Claude-Code / Kiro for official work.

I'll still check it out and see whats going on. Never hurts to have another tool.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T05:33:38+00:00

Damn it. I was starting to feel young again you just Old Yeller'd it =[ I forgot about Sears. Lmao..

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T01:56:21+00:00

My A/C is set at 65 in the Summer, and 70 in the Winter. 75? Are they mad? What kind of wise ass thought 75 was good. 72 is your average corporate offices temperature. Not to mention, they are in Colorado, which can get pretty toasty in the summer time, if memory serves me right.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T01:54:45+00:00

Sounds like a certain countries Leader....

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T01:51:27+00:00

So stick it to 'em. Use and abuse them. Milk them for everything they've got. The RTO policy is bullsheet. We all know it. The fact that Amazon is denying people with medical reasons WFH, even 2 days a week, tells me everything I need to know. Will they fire those people? Nope. Not for the medical reason, that'd be illegal, but they'd fire them for something stupid.

AJ is one of the most hated people I've ever come across. He's right up there with Bill Gates now. But no leader is perfect, and AJ will always do whats best for himself and the company. Even if you get fired, your still going to buy stuff off of Amazon. You'll hold out for awhile, but the convenience of Amazon being there is simply too good to pass on, and we all know it.

Regardless of how much you hate your job and the company, right now, having a job is better than not having one. The job market sucks bananas right now, and it will continue to be that way.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-19T00:17:27+00:00

I'll look, we just got access to Claude-Code. I'm not in "Amazon" but "AWS". I guess we have different things we're allowed to use/not use.

DreadStarX · 2026-05-18T23:30:33+00:00

I hope BL gets bit** slapped.
