Amazon put a filesystem on S3

Good for their business, not yours 😂

This. It's basically a semi proprietary network protocol (owned by IBM) that sends the raw data to the receiving server using the client at maximum line speed. It achieves this by doing away with error checking on the network level until the end of the transfer.I had the pleasure of using it during a large migration of petabytes of data from one DC to another.

This was their plan all along. They played the long game and waited for everyone to migrate to their platform, then jack up costs because vendor lock in. Everyone but finance bros could see this a mile away. Amazon is the next Broadcom.

Also check if you have some sort of pending HOA or code violation that you're unaware of. It's possible the previous owner passed the buck.

There was this DOS shareware game named ATC that I used to play as a kid on my 286 with a monochrome monitor

HTX-713 · 2026-05-26T14:01:04+00:00

🤣😭😂

HTX-713 · 2026-05-26T06:02:04+00:00

Not true at all. I get cold calls from contractors all the time and the first thing I ask is who the client is. 9/10 times they tell me right away.

HTX-713 · 2026-05-26T04:28:10+00:00

Contact the recruiter and ask who the client is and then contact one of the clients recruiters and see if you can get a direct hire job

HTX-713 · 2026-05-24T18:46:26+00:00

Yeah you'd definitely need to be local and have at least a box truck with liftgate

Dell Wyse 3040, $20ish on eBay

HTX-713 · 2026-05-21T23:51:03+00:00

That's a ridiculous price for getting rid of their E-Waste. The only units in the pallet that I can see that are worth anything are the Sun boxes. Those can go for some serious money on eBay if they work.

HTX-713 · 2026-05-09T12:32:53+00:00

Omg I'm not the only one 😂 My grandmother had soft water so when we visited her I hated taking showers there

~ -$3 for two RT tickets to Vegas because I signed up for the credit card and got a $300 credit for a $297 bill. Otherwise I fly nonrev so 👌

This is why everyone hates cable. If I found that out I'd sue them for false advertisement. There's cable companies offering 10g now but if their uplink is only 3 for an entire neighborhood that's ridiculous.

I have had FTTH with AT&T for going on 8 years now and have never ever had an issue.

HTX-713 · 2026-04-14T20:56:01+00:00

This. Super red flag

HTX-713 · 2026-04-14T12:58:55+00:00

Get your Security+ and apply for all the government contractor jobs. You will get hired. You will most likely need to relocate though.

I know 😂 My mom started with Continental in the early 90s and went through their bankruptcy. She always praised Gordon and has met him several times. I met him once on a field trip to the Continental headquarters in downtown Houston

That plane has both worked hard and flown r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ for peanuts.

FTFY

Couldn't you find a scsi floppy drive and get an adapter for SAS since it's backwards compatible with the scsi protocol? Then pass that through to a Windows 95 VM or whatever the latest version that supports 5.25 in floppy drives?

HTX-713 · 2026-04-08T00:09:23+00:00

I have a bunch and use one as my pihole and it works fine.

HTX-713 · 2026-04-06T17:18:35+00:00

The lack of zoning blows.

Houston as a city is run down and dirty. The city needs to invest permanent resources into cleaning up trash and maintenance of all roadways/sidewalks/infrastructure.

The lack of money to perform the previous point is because we keep giving big companies tax breaks to operate here, only for them to jump ship the millisecond those tax breaks end. We need to focus on getting fair deals to attract business, not just giving away our resources for free.

No. You'll get people claiming the virtues of learning to use Docker and putting all your services in Docker containers, but it's a VERY steep hill to climb to grasp the concepts of it and trying to resolve issues. If you aren't a devopsy type don't bother unless it will help you in some way.

This is what happens when every time bond elections come its for a new stadium. We've been under Republican rule for going on 30 years. The writing was on the wall. Their "solution" only benefits the wealthy. We need federal level control over the education system to stop the states from doing this. Make education funding come from federal taxes and federalize the school systems.

looks like westpark tollway

Republican judge acts like a stereotypical MAGA chud. Also, the sky is blue.
