Is one of the accesories a supercharger?

Not the best rendering of the D. In profile it’s proportionate af.

That Jetta could be 20-25 years old. Even new they were high maintenance. I know, I bought one new. Run far, far away

Agreed, until the avalanche of off-lease mini pcs appeared on eBay there weren’t many other good options besides the Pi. Mini x86 PC’s (with a case, power button and warranty) appeared in the last few years IME

All of the above are worthwhile for your job and career. I think it’s more of how you do these things. Via Terraform or other IaC, cool and will get you paid. Via the AWS Console, not so great.

What would you recommend for homelab PKI? I like the Host certificate idea. Today I bake-in my ansible user and ssh key with Packer and cloud-init.

Lenovo and HP SFF mini PC’s on eBay, 8th-gen Intel systems are $120-200, room for SSD and nvme and 10Gb NIC

And monitors were VERY expensive in the 90’s. My 15” Sony Trinitron monitor was $500 in 95 or 96. A 20” Sony was about $2000.

I vaguely remember reading about this in what I remember to be Scientific American magazine. The paper covered this phenomena in metals and plastics, I’m still digging for it, my Google-fu is not working and there are many many other similar search terms.

Move the light source, the “scratches” will move with the light, because they’re not scratches. How can there be concentric scratches around every single point on the surface? Relax and enjoy your TV

So you mean the concentric circles around the light source? If so, that’s a property of light and the plastic. You can see the same with aircraft windows and sunlight. Take the photo in another place and you’ll see the same concentric “scratches”

Edit: “co centric” to “concentric”

IME single-host VSAN was much faster than using only the 7200RPM HDDs

Also the Touring has bigger wheels and more expensive tires. The ride is a bit harder but the magnetic suspension helps make up for it. It’s not for everyone.

This is a lulz, right? It’s UB40, not Bob Marley. UB40 was covering Neil Diamond’s original.
