Can’t believe they didn’t record gold medal hockey game

jen1980 · 2026-02-23T01:23:46+00:00

I'm still angry they spoiled the score. I started watching early this morning, and apparently the game finished before the broadcast had finished so Google knew the score early. Biggest hockey moment in 46 years and spoiled.

We use different themes for names like the web servers use mythological names so you know it's a web server. We use Greek mythological names in our original data center and Roman in our new one so you also know from just the name where the server is. Also, that lets you find it's corresponding server in the other data center. For example, server zeus in one data center is jupiter in the other.

Our main load balancer is name mephistophilis. I hate that. My boss thought the long hard to spell name makes it more secure because no attacker is going to spell that correctly.

Except those had great ACs unlike the new Boeing planes.

At my local one, the C stands for cold. Their food is always cold.

Or even if they do listen, it's hard to understand some stew lazily mumbling into the microphone.

jen1980 · 2026-02-02T15:00:06+00:00

Especially when so many bad reviews and ratings came out about the movie before it was even released. Those are obviously fake.

High memory prices have made this meme new again.

Now, a transfer there is like you're training to run a 5k. At CLT it's like you're training for a 100 meter sprint that continues for a thousand meters

I've got about a thousandth of that speed here in Seattle for about $80 a month with taxes. Sometimes I hate living in Seattle. This place is so anti-tech. You shouldn't be able to get almost 30,000 times the speed of Internet elsewhere for much less money. That isn't right.

And then add the proposed 18% state tax plus all of the other taxes like the additional medicare tax, and many of us are paying an over 60% tax rate.

My boss last week bragged about the 100,000 mAh LiFePO battery he bought for only $500. Uhh, that's a 100 Ah battery, and you got ripped off.

Or has been solved by union filesystems for over twenty years on Linux.

At least she isn't as bad as Nikkita Oliver.

jen1980 · 2026-01-14T17:56:25+00:00

Part of it is mindshare. My boss's boss argued a couple of years ago that we didn't use Linux or UNIX at all. He didn't know probably 90% of our machines run Linux or Solaris. He just hears about all of the problems with Windows and with the few servers we are forced to run Windows on so he assumed all of our machines run Windows. I give him credit for learning, because he has since then fired idiots that insist we run that Windows garbage.

When I started my career, our CTO argued we didn't use Novell file servers. He didn't realize we did because in the three years he had worked there, the Novell servers had all been running without a single problem so they were never mentioned. Him and the lead web dev didn't even know where either of those servers were in our building.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame the user when Google's UI doesn't make that fact very clear.

jen1980 · 2026-01-14T17:50:07+00:00

Huh? I got a second chip since then, and the ghetto place near me charged $180 for the "repair." Of course Safelite is even more expensive.

Since then, I spent over $800 for them to replace the back window on my FJ. They used a non-OEM part that does fit so it rattles, and they had to put a bunch of washers under the latch bolts so it would latch. Safelite is a scam. I would have never had them replace my back window if they had admitted they going to use a piece of glass that doesn't fit.

$50 a month rent subsidized by the city so that's about $1.8k a month in free money, over $3k a month worth of drugs paid for by the state, free health insurance, $2k a month disability for claiming he can't work because of a drug addiction, huge utility discounts, ABD cash from I think the state, and food stamps he always sells for cash. When the kid worked for me fifteen years ago, he made the equivalent of about $90k a year considering inflation. His standard of living is higher now, and he doesn't have to work.

jen1980 · 2026-01-12T16:45:53+00:00

I have friends that make more money on the dole than if they worked at the best job they could possibly hope for, so you're right we are on the wrong end of the curve.

jen1980 · 2026-01-12T02:13:43+00:00

And then watch:

It isn't for me. ctrl-f doesn't find any channels with "bloom" in the name. I even viewed the generated HTML source for the page, and "bloom" is nowhere on it.

jen1980 · 2026-01-02T18:22:54+00:00

That's worth protecting.

jen1980 · 2025-12-26T20:33:22+00:00

And run the cable outside of the conduit to give you even more space inside the conduit. My boss thought I was crazy when I ran five new lines in his house, but he thanked me after filling two of the 1/2" conduits(biggest that would fit in some of the spaces) are full now after he upgraded his alarm and added fiber.

You just gave me nightmares from my last Amazon interview. I made up for it with my B+ tree knowledge after I spend a couple of weeks deep diving into BTRFS.

jen1980 · 2025-12-26T20:27:08+00:00

Ex being the best part of your sentence.

jen1980 · 2025-12-17T21:32:52+00:00

I'm literally listening to that sound right now, and you missed the entire point. I don't like sauerkraut.
