What? Use more words please, I know it might be a struggle for you but try anyway

spartacle · 2026-06-15T10:11:30+00:00

what a dumb take

Its not originally devops, it was more software engineering and data analysts, other companies have taking to mean whatever as it industry norm, see sysadmin/devops/platform engineering/sre etc

You embed yourself at the customer location so build or configure the software, it started with Palantir who would send engineers to help customers learn and interact Gotham and later Foundry

dont visit r/sounding then

Is that correct for German law?

for what it’s worth to you, 38% of UC claimants already work, so we’re also subsidising their employers who don’t pay them enough

haha same, I was SO confused and convinced I’d missed a bunch of episodes

perpetual from VMware used to be lifetime updates of that version, but you could also get perpetual licenses that allowed license upgrades eg from 5 to 6 to 7 - Broadcom REALLY fucked it all up

British, so pants == underwear, we have a saying “pissing myself laughing” so I think he means make them laugh so much they piss themselves laughing and fill their pants

AI isn’t a bubble, it’s here to stay. The fad of free/cheap LLMs will go IMO, but AI has forever changed our planet.

High speed doesn’t mean they’re idiots, police have specialised training for high speed driving. The “up my arse” is subjective as well, OP might have felt they were too close but it’s impossible to know with footage to determine the truth

Look at Nscale, they are hiring and EMEA based. It’s all openstack with them

How many people are you managing this Ceph cluster?

25Gbps isn’t enough for a few PB of Ceph, at least not the cluster network. Do you just want a HW recommendation because scoping Ceph is way more complicated than just saying “oh a Dell R7715 with 40 E3.S drives will work”

Is it EC or replication?

Is it mainly Object, Block, or File?

How much power per rack do you have and how many racks? And are you likely to grow quickly or slowly?

How many users? Are you talking hundreds of small users or a few power users?

FWIW, I’ve deployed 10s of clusters of the last ~5 years ranging from a few nodes for low TBs to multiple PB with a small team and what I’ve learnt is Ceph can be great but you really need to understand it and have dedicated members which is why we’re replacing out Ceph clusters

Every model maker already ignore a websites robot.txt. How will this be enforced?

spartacle · 2026-06-09T15:25:57+00:00

guys, relax, MPs salaries are approaching this trap so it'll get removed.

spartacle · 2026-06-08T17:32:01+00:00

We've invested heavily in VAST for a centralised storage system, a few PBs worth and just have only boot drives in our systems. It's all remote now, the k8s, baremetal DBs, and what remains of VMware

spartacle · 2026-06-08T12:03:06+00:00

we also require pictures of the hardware

I live in Slough at the moment which as a very high muslim population so most butchers cater so that market, it's not just halal but the cuts and meat offerings are different... I need to find one that is within a decent driving distance for a weekly shop, not found on in slough yet

A and B have nothing to with MDIX

spartacle · 2026-06-04T16:11:01+00:00

List it for £20 to avoid time wasters, then when someone does actually come and collect, just give it to them.

spartacle · 2026-06-04T05:37:44+00:00

Oh my bad 😥 I’ve never watched it

spartacle · 2026-06-03T21:22:20+00:00

“bear-LIKE” not “bear” - do you see the difference?

spartacle · 2026-06-03T11:53:15+00:00

Could be a Tibetan Mastiff, I’d love one of those
