What wasn’t included is that neither of the suggestions actually do anything, of course

Why is the person on the left of the picture colored blue lmao

An HBA (host bus adapter) is a SAS controller (or rather, has a SAS controller chip on it). You mostly just want to make sure that your host (the server) has enough physical PCIe lanes to use the whole card, otherwise you’ll get bottlenecked there. You also want to check whether you’ve got 6G SAS or 12G SAS capability. If your drives only support 6 gig, for example, there’s zero point in buying a 12G SAS card, which is actually nice because 6G cards are a lot cheaper. You do want to make sure you actually need an HBA and not a RAID controller though - they’re easily confused. Not sure if I actually answered anything there but I write SAS firmware and use HBAs all the time, so feel free to ask me more and I’ll try to piece together a coherent answer.

Interesting… I went to an Austrian bank and now I’m suddenly seeing double!

For those who are dumb, like me, and don’t know how to read… they changed the Mozilla logo, and not the Firefox logo.

No, don’t water it for a while - if you do, it may rot! It’s got enough nutrients left in the leaves and stem to subsist for quite a while while it roots.

Oof, I imagine that could’ve gone south - glad you’re still with us. Most scope CRTs tend to use voltages around 2-3kV (Tek scopes usually use 1.8kV accelerators). I’ve even got a scope that uses a specialized CRT that uses a 9kV tube (Tek 317) - definitely something scary to mess around with!

I’ve got half a dozen of similar Tek scopes myself, along with a number of much older scopes from the 60s and a handful of others as well - they’re very pretty. Easy to work on, too, long as you stay careful around HV parts. You definitely should keep it around and consider restoring it as opposed to putting a PC inside of it, cool as that may sound. But either way, I’m glad it found a better home than a dumpster!

That’s like… a month. Can it take an indefinite break instead?

I use an older stereo Leica GZ6T I fixed up. Definitely worth it - would recommend picking up a used microscope on eBay though. You can generally get them <$100 or so if you look enough. I don’t have a ton of space either but I really just shove it under my desk when I’m not using the thing.

Y’all are actually into specific teas! I just like anything fruity, lol. Usually decaf, because my body despises caffeine.

“No”

…yes

Lmao, do it… would love to see what that entails

I mean, why wouldn’t they? It clearly worked for the other platforms. It’s all about money these days :/

Why does that remind me of Jerma

Edited for today’s events: first panel says “Yay, a nazi tree, let’s relax under that”, and the guy’s hat is red. Comic ends. Bonus panel is them carving in a 2nd swastika.

This is the only thing that made me crack a smile today. It’s nice to know that some people still have brains.

What you also forgot to mention is just how much trash we generate… that would be a massive limiting factor as well. It’s hard enough to get a few tons of stuff on a rocket going to space. I couldn’t get an exact figure on a quick google search but humanity generates somewhere on the order of tens of thousands of metric tons of trash per day
