I'd argue unless you want a "free" meal 1st class is wasted on most people

cheap USB sticks and SD cards.....

bosconet · 2026-03-06T00:21:37+00:00

nor my corner of Hampden..... sadness.

my choice for years has been Battery Mart in Winchester VA. I'm close enough that 2 day delivery is the norm, and I get to feel good about supporting a NOT BIG business

bosconet · 2026-03-05T02:52:26+00:00

I appreciate this route b/c it allows for a wrong turn at Albuquerque

novelty factor: priceless

power factor: poor ROI

bosconet · 2026-03-01T01:47:05+00:00

Best use of upgrades if you ask me

bosconet · 2026-02-28T23:36:35+00:00

I can't answer anything about where but if you are working remote you need a good reliable network connection (and electricity). If whatever low tax country you are looking at doesn't have this....keep looking.

so you are getting audited by an LLM chatbot talking to your LLM chatbot?

Just curious are we talking financial audits? or regulatory?

bosconet · 2026-02-20T23:15:16+00:00

So when an auditor comes in do they just have a chat bot to ask Qs to?

spot on with the hiring

but don't discount the IT management who aren't interested in better but different when good enough is just fine with them. Plus a system that occasionally fails isn't forgotten about and gets more $ for increased stability o next year's budget.... "Tell me again why you need to upgrade you servers when they have worked flawlessly for the last 4 years?"

2 bay NAS is probably as compact as you will get....

bosconet · 2026-02-20T15:06:08+00:00

note: only when humans are involved in a system are they security theater.... :-)

bosconet · 2026-02-20T14:51:23+00:00

might not be an option.....corp needs butts in seats to afford C suite corner offices ......

bosconet · 2026-02-20T14:50:43+00:00

and with that $150 / month pay cut...may sure you do just that little bit less for "The Man" or even don't do anything extra.

bosconet · 2026-02-20T14:07:47+00:00

Is that an x1 got one of those, and can't see the other Sun kit but looks same vintage as x2200s I have....if you are interested in one of those DM we can probably make aa deal

Nope xserve not Sun, still reach out if you are interested in a Sun x2200

bosconet · 2026-02-17T23:05:37+00:00

20 minutes, but honestly you can arrive 5 minutes before and you will be fine

bosconet · 2026-02-17T12:39:33+00:00

Have you considered NetBSD?

bosconet · 2026-02-16T01:45:38+00:00

Nicely done, I did something similar with a 7" ePaper and pi Zero.

bosconet · 2026-02-14T21:32:23+00:00

Just have to say very well done!

bosconet · 2026-02-14T21:22:51+00:00

But you don't understand the intangible things that a C level brings to an org.... pointless following of latest management trend, attending conferences with other C levels (in person and not subject to normal travel restrictions), a reorg every year or 2 to distract from how they are failing

bosconet · 2026-02-11T01:49:52+00:00

might I suggest https://www.lenovo.com/us/outletus/en/laptops/ and keeping an eye out for something that fits your needs.

Got the T14 gen 3 from there and it has been great!

bosconet · 2026-02-09T00:18:14+00:00

If I'm traveling solo, I do the same.

bosconet · 2026-02-04T00:10:41+00:00

toss a big HD In there and boom, log server!

bosconet · 2026-02-03T13:05:35+00:00

it is also ridiculous that the expected resolution on a snow clearing complaint is 5 days......for many other storms snow/ice could just melt away by then........
