@Leucrotta Curiosity re: the herm/transphobe thing. I assume you're referring to people who are specifically transphobic /in addition/? (Wasn't sure if I was reading it right.)

@faynefluff My reasoning was that ES in particular will eat all the RAM and CPU you can give it, and that we'll have a LOT of log files going into it.

@faynefluff My initial spec was a bit shoot-the-moon, but honestly not even outrageous these days.
2x Gold 6254
24x 16GB DIMM (768GB RAM)
2x 240GB SSD
2x 1.6TB NVMe SSD
8x 10TB SATA HDD
1x Dual 100G card

@faynefluff Yes, it did! And since you were asking, I was looking at 3x boxes that'd handle SQL and ES clusters at the same time, as well as a bunch of disk cold storage for log files.

@faynefluff I'm actually punching it into Dell's website at the moment to see what their pricing is. :P

@faynefluff Okay, was wondering. I kinda balked when they quoted me $35k per server. I'm so used to internal pricing that I don't have a reference for what shit should cost.

Random Q for folks, since it's been a long time since I've bought a server from an outside vendor, surprisingly. What's a reasonable cost for a two socket HP/Dell server with non-outrageous 2x CPU, RAM, and drive specs? (Was quoting a server cluster and the prices came back high enough that I choked for a moment.)

Ah, Adobe EPUB DRM, my old nemesis. We meet again.

@makyo@snouts.online Ooh. That looks neat! Thanks!

@makyo@snouts.online What's TAZ?

This is one of the most mindblowing short stories that I've ever read. https://www.tor.com/2019/06/12/skinner-box-carole-johnstone/

@amdusias@snouts.online I know it's hard not to feel like you got nothing done, but you actually did. Self-care is stupidly important, no matter what the world tells you it is.

@leila aaaaaaaaaaaaa :D :D :D :D <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Boarding DUB->SFO. Love you all. <3

Standing in the first security line to race through a terminal to the second security line to get in line for passport control... Kafka would be proud.
