I don’t see the problem. But that’s probably because my goto-language is perl.

Must be a continental thing. Here in noggieland we have a simple illuminated green cross.

“Look, 4chan is here!”

Full tank of gas

Same. I get the shits after my 3rd cup in the morning if I haven’t eaten anything.

Xenial, I think it’s called. I was the youngest, and I was born in 1983. My siblings are Def GenX, and I never quite identified with that group.

I never quite identified as a millennial either, I’m somewhere in between.

I only remember the rough outline:
Dual Xeon gold of some sort. The CPUs were upgraded in 2021, so whatever was reasonably top shelf around that time would be a good bet.
256GB RAM
Intel X710 Dual SFP+ 10gig net
Mellanox ConnectX (5, I think, not sure) 100gig net
Some high end NVIDIA card. I don’t remember which, but it replaced a Quadro P5000.
Broadcom 3108 with cache battery
36x Exos 10TB 3.5" SAS drives
2x SSD of some type I do not remember
2x NVMe, don’t remember those either.
Supermicro X11 mainboard.
Supermicro 5U chassis with drive bays in both back and front

Some bits were upgraded, such as network, cpu, ram, and GPU. It’d be substantially less today, but the original setup is from 2017, and I remember seeing an invoice of ~180.000 USD equivalent each. My house is 150.000 USD equivalent.

Each cluster involves four or six of these machines in a modified shipping container along with some other hardware, working as a mobile data cruncher.

I grew up on the coast, and my parents always had this rule to never eat/cook/serve shellfish that weren’t fished (shellfished?) same day or yesterday.

Bloodletting actually has its uses. It’s rare, but a valid treatment. It’s called phlebotomy now, but it’s essentially the same thing.

I don’t remember exactly what the condition was, but I remember my grandfather went through it. Something to do with too much iron.

EDIT:
According to chatgpt, the condition is called hemochromatosis. It matches my grandfather’s description of having high levels of ferritin.

Well, when you walk through the garden, you better watch your back…

Honestly, I don’t. I stopped caring about windows ages ago.

It was.

Serbia - Destiny Potato. Prog metal, and their album “Lun” is among my favorites of all time. They changed name to Sordid Pink and released another pretty cool album.

David Maxim Micic is the guitarist, and he has a pretty great solo discography on his own.

I’m inclined to somewhat agree. As someone who enjoyed snooping around a mostly unencrypted and insecure internet 25 years ago, I can wholeheartedly tell you that most people’s files are pretty boring.

Corporate computers on the other hand…

Handling geophysical data. Very demanding in terms of processing, network and storage, so they’re built accordingly.

Nope, each.

Not sure if you’re referring to alcoholism or assassinations, but I guess you’re right either way.

He should. But he should still do it, and ST6 moves faster than congress.
