@jamesog given I live at LCY basically, mostly the pain of getting there when various stuff does not work (Liz was not running at 5 on a Sunday, various stuff was sad, etc) but you can never know that until the week you fly etc...

@nicoduck and if you are lucky (depending on situation) you enter a lottery for a £300 payout if they fuck up!

I had a flatmate who did this so much (also flew every 2 weeks) that I think he ended up cash positive flying the airline

@eval press button to drown

@javierg it is surprisingly easy to drop packaging into hot pans

@russss @erikk @nicoduck I've also have my eyes on https://www.qotom.net/product/NasPC_Q30912DSS14.html , similar setup, likewise no IPMI (but the HP Gen10 dont either)

@nicoduck @erikk it sucks so bad there is not a good+modern version of the HP Gen 8 Microserver, I am keeping my Gen8 (vs your Gen7) alive, but I really really want something not DDR3, it's the only DDR3 thing left in my entire computer estate

@wrmsr hah, yes :P

@MissAemilia Intel being burned over many generations of mistakes on making mobile CPUs finally settled on a part of the mobile market that is seemingly viable with Atom/etc

@Gaelan It's quite load bearing when biz contracts are going back and forward with edits, and you want to make sure nothing (either maliciously or accidentally) else changed between versions

@Edent I misread my own logs. I actually manage 5µs per row with LOAD FILE

@Edent mmmm. I bet that's doing raw inserts. At bgptools when I need to import a lot of stuff at once I generate a CSV on the fly and provide it to the MySQL as a LOAD FILE, I tend to average 90 microseconds per row

@Edent you doing inserts or LOADs?

@mikechislett the hardware afterlife shall wait another day :P

@petersanchez yeah https://github.com/benjojo/honk-benjojo/commit/97ba018769e9e806425f7194f0766da0156f874c

@jamesog Sadly I use GAE because I can trust it (after great annoyance to deploy) actually run the code, I've mopped up (and heard friends) fly.io horror stories to the point where I would never trust anything of value on fly

@Gaelan Would be nice tbh, Like the days before bLE beacons got abused to the point where all of the cool features got de-implemented

@mikechislett which one of the many gtt descendants owns it though :p

@marcoslater I'm gonna need a bigger computer to make that viable! I did a back of the envelope guess at what the kW output of my mums underfloor heating loop was and "holy shit"

@andynormancx I'd rather it warm my feet in a more direct way than trying to warm up a reasonably large bedroom/home office

@erincandescent FWIW, bgp.tools used raw SCTP for quite a while for data backhual over the internet from IXs (and first gen customer agents) and had 0 issues with firewalls that the common internet stuff would claim you would have, I think the nuance is that if you are going to have issues connecting to a non "normal" (IE 443/22/80 etc) port then you are going to have issues with SCTP too, otherwise, it was totally fine.

These days bgp.tools's agent/IX backhaul uses a userspace SCTP stack for different reasons, but I still have a raw SCTP transport up my sleeve if I ever need it

@edward it might already be happening tbh

@0x47df Yeah with how Juniper is going at the moment, I wonder how long until people just view Juniper switches as unreliably/buggy crap as a stereotype too, the current status quo does not look good

@fanf delicious delicious iron water

@0x47df Some of the Netgear switches are impressively bomb proof on the control plane, especially if you are doing just boring L2+VLANs.

On the extreme end, actually building your own mini switch with a non insane control plane seems very possible these days: https://blog.brixit.nl/making-a-linux-managed-network-switch/

@fanf Yeah it's more and more common these days, I dont think they are ever plumbed directly in, since the outlet water is rarely hot enough, I would _assume_ the heat loop is exchanged and then pumped into the input of a heat pump for way better efficiency

@nick_ hell yeah

@kwf I was told by one of the pluggable vendors that it was because getting everything into 5W or whatever it is was extremely hard until now. ZR+ could "cheat" by having the jumbo power ports

DZ: new honknet tos

@tedu boots

@clarfonthey if it helps reassure that is exactly what came to my mind when I saw the image as well

@apropos I am extremely not nostalgic about CRTs or VHS/Cassette

@the_turtle and the LED ones (that are more broad spectrum) dont do this?

@benjamineskola yeah there is a strong memory of car rides after sunset and these lights, cosy times

@Oskar456 I don't think I've ever knowingly been around them, I do like the idea of at least non zero CRI though, so likely not for the best

@f2k1de lol.

@f2k1de kick out?
