One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

“This is the last straw” 😆

Yay, top-fwz1.mail.ru was already in my default pihole blocklist

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveries

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.

Yea, we’re going for the combo.
I should have said “one of” our generation’s asbestos

This is probably our generation’s asbestos.

You can use an adapter just fine.
Or use a 5.5" drive caddy, that’s just a little drawer that slides in and out.
Real question is it you have enough SATA connectors available.

An LLM is like taking to a rubber duck on drugs while also being on drugs.

It’s kinda lemmy lore I guess.
Beans was a wave of shitposts from about 16 months ago where poeple kept posting a bunch of beans in various forms and the whole feed was mostly beans.

You’ll also stumble upon the “3 days no poop” thing where someone asked a question in asklemmy I think about how to avoid shitting for 3 days.
I think they later deleted their account, but they were very mysterious about why and people genuinely came with ideas for them and it snowballed into its own thing.

Unrelated, but similar to the poop knife, if only in the inside joke / lore kinda thing.

Grab some beans, make yourself at home.

Might as well just do 9000% tariffs already.

Yea I wasn’t thinking of Germany so much as… anywhere else than the US in general.

If you can attract researchers by doing absolutely nothing, someone else fucked up.
The US is at war with education and academia in general, anywhere that isn’t is gonna be attractive to researchers.
I almost expect USA refugees in Canada. Certainly, non-WASP, non-cis people could claim being in danger at home.

Warrantied drives still fail, they just happen to ship you a replacement.

Commercial drive trashing solutions are basically a smaller, fancier version of the mechanism in a log splitter.
You could probably rig a sketchy drive wedge/bending thing with a pump jack rather easily.
Wear PPE.

The odds of someone taking a failed drive and transplanting the platters to a working drive is pretty low to begin with.

Me? I don’t have tons of drives to destroy, so I just unscrew the thing, get the platters out and smash those.
