Been so long since I had my opteron server up. Had it at the old office until they sent us home, and had to move it, but didn't have a suitable rack setup at home. Just finally got the rack up, and network/power run to it. Still so much work to do to get everything moved over to it though, and get everything else up in that rack. A lot of sets of rails to buy for various rack mount cases that are cantilever mounted on the old rack.

@anime If I click on it, it will go through to the image so I can read it.

@stuff @Moon PCs not made by IBM had that plug all the way up to where they switched to ATX cases, for the most part. PS/2 plugs started to appear on ATX motherboards. In fact, the only thing on BabyAT cases that had a dedicated window from the outside of the case to the motherboard was the PC DIN keyboard plug. Everything else was either on a card slot, or a cable up from the motherboard to a plug that screwed into the case.

It was also used for the Atari 8-bit computers, for Monitor (5 pin) and Power (7 pin, even though there was only 1 voltage and a ground, they used the 7 pin to keep you from plugging 5v into the video port.)

@requiem @natecull So, like Redox, Oberon or Haiku? I suppose CollapseOS also isn't written in C.

@avia The costs being both the labor, and the new friction enhancing fluid that the CVT needs to operate.

@avia Yes, though it's still not the camshaft so it's something that I wasn't figuring into the calculations. There's a channel that I follow that used a Subaru CVT valve replacement as an example, and said that you should always replace the entire valve body instead of just the failed valve, because of all the other costs of taking the CVT apart, you don't want to pay those costs twice, so just replace everything that is a potential wear item. IE the entire valve body.

@avia Ahhh, that makes more sense then, I thought just the camshaft would be 12k. But yeah, labor on things like that is a hassle unless you're able to do it yourself.

@avia For just a camshaft? Steep.

@pro I'm on prgmr.com, it's a reasonably cheap host that's in Hurricane Electric's datacenter in San Jose, CA. I'm paying $5 per month for this host, but I am using a very light weight OS for it. They have plans up to 15 gigs of ram, but those are out of my price range. I originally went with them because they had native IPv6 subnets. Usual caveats about tiny companies possibly disappearing apply, but they've been around for 18 years so far.

@deprecated_ii @zaitcev Yeah, I would think that the missile would have to stumble on a side note to see it, rather than it just kind of being visible from the air like old portable sat phones.

@zaitcev @deprecated_ii I wonder if antiradiation missiles could detect starlink, it does beamforming so it should only really have a strong EM node pointing at the satellite, rather than just broadcast upward like sat phones.

@anime @ic3l9 @Moon Also from Japan

@fribbledom Yay, now I'll have to get people to email me instead of talk to me to distinguish bhyve and beehive. :)

@union Are they talking about them using it internationally, or internally? I was thinking that they were referring to them using these internally to their own citizens to justify it.

@union https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kb75e/the-internet-is-debunking-russian-war-propaganda-in-real-time I don't know how much you trust this particular site, but it talks about this incident.

@Cheeseness @Mayana @tulpa With Deb packages at least, a lot of devs make third party repos to add in, so you're not strictly tied to just what is in the Debian or Ubuntu repositories.

@Cheeseness @Mayana @tulpa It also makes some difference as to the availability of packages, but if you're picking Debian or Arch, then they have even more software available than Redhat. It's only the more obscure formats that have worse availability.

@Cheeseness @Mayana @tulpa Makes sense. I'm not sure there's a good option anymore for the redhat package format that isn't in that state with some corporate entity or another.
