Oh no, you!


In 2008, I was fed up with a combination of wage slavery and freelancing, so I started looking around for a proper career. I found a job posting on monster.com for something called “seismic survey technician”. I was severely underqualified and I had no idea what it was, but it involved computery stuff with and emphasis on Linux and other unix systems, in addition to international travel which sounded interesting, so I sent in my application out of curiosity.
I ended up getting the job, turns out dicking around with Slackware and FreeBSD for 10 years was actually useful. Over the years since then I’ve carved out a pretty comfy niche in the industry.

Yes, but in Norwegian. -March.


Same. My old doctor recommended daily vit D supplements in months that end with R. Regular store bought dosage is strong enough to actually do something if taken daily, but weak enough that it won’t harm you if you’re not deficient.

Nordic citizen here. As much as I agree with the sentiment, I’d happily pay more to have an unlubed dildo of consequence hypersonically delivered to the Kremlin.
We can tiptoe around russia, hoping they’ll play nice any day now, or give a slap that won’t be forgotten.
Lesson:
Russia used to do these “mistaken navigation” into Turkish airspace all the time. Until turkey shot down an encroaching aircraft. Suddenly russian pilots got a lot better at navigation.


I never raised any eyebrows at IPs like these in movies and on TV. It’s just internet equivalent of fictitious phone numbers always containing 555.


As soon as it became clear how much russia botched the invasion initially, I’ve thought of vovka as Tsar Nicolas III
Yeah, same. I used a 19" CRT from 1999 to 2009, and just now I almost thought “ah, those were the d…” NO!
The ONLY think I liked about CRTs were that they were durable because of the thick glass, and they didn’t fall over as easily as flat screens. Other than that they were objectively worse in any single way.


Finally a post about EU digital laws that uses an ISO keyboard. It annoys me more than it should to see an ANSI keyboard with an EU flag on it.


Do the buses really need to be separate? Because what I’d do in this case is to join two buses into one so that you can live without that one port. CAN bus can be connected in parallell, just be sure to modify/relocate the line terminators so you get the right amount of resistance on the data pair. Should be 60 Ohms, iirc. Measure one of the working lines to be sure.
Lightning strikes are a PITA to fix. I spent so many hours troubleshooting this radio installation on a ship and once one component was fixed, another broken one was discovered. In the end we just replaced the entire thing.


Mod notice: This post is kinda in the grey area of being in breach of Rule 6, but it’s a good question with decent answers, so it gets to stay.
Stay classy.


I have a literal suitcase full if 4TB SAS drives. Because they were free and pretty much unused.
Fun fact: A pelicase of 37 3.5" drives is the max weight you’re allowed in a single checked piece with common airlines. I had to give three drives to the check in clerk.


It’s amazing how much metalurgy you learn from Dwarf Fortress
Serious question: Is treat yourself day a thing?
Never heard about it before, but I did happen to put in an order for 6 spools of PETG filament and misc electronics for a hobby project on Oct 13th…


North Korea and brutal dictatorship
I interpret it as “Don’t eat biscuits in bed”. Nobody wants to sleep on sticky crunch after you’re both done.
Week days: 0700-0730ish. Gotta get my kids ready for school.
Weekend: At the crack of noon
