Both dhcpd and bind support failover.

If you want to have failover storage you might want to look into beegfs, as storage targets can be mirrored across hosts.

I keep spreading this advice, as so many people seem to not know: Store your superglue in the fridge, and you’ll actually get to finish the bottle. It prevents it from gluing itself shut.

Nrk.no, for the most part. It’s in norwegian, though. You can probably shove it through a translator.

True. I can’t be arsed, but dedicated egg cookers do this for that reason.

For starters, eggs should be put in already boiling water, as opposed to heating up the eggs and the water together. Otherwise the egg sticks to the white. If you have problems with eggs cracking while boiling, use a needle or a knife to poke a hole in the shell in the end that is the least pointy so that the air bubble inside has an escape.

I usually drop it in the table and roll it around just to get the entire shell to Crack. Then it should come off easily.

I’d wonder WTF he was doing in Europe.

Pulse dialing (rotary phones)

Yeah, you should’ve thought of that before you decided to be Asian with your kung-fu and dumplings…

I was in a similar but opposite situation, minus the xenophobia. I don’t remember what started it, but in 6th grade I decided to throw a punch at a 9th grader. Everyone assumed he instigated it. I clearly remember starting it, but I obviously didn’t tell anyone that.

Mint is a noob distro. I’m a linux user for nearly 30 years. I run Mint (on my desktop), because I can’t be arsed fixing something that works.

Anything to distract from the fact that they’re a car company selling fewer and fewer cars.

When I got older and my interests started taking shape, I just said “IT” because I liked computery stuff, and while I didn’t have anything specific in mind, I knew it would probably involve tech. I remember an ad for this tech university, running around this time saying something along the lines of “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. But I know that the occupation doesn’t exist yet”, and I felt drawn to that idea.

Then I started doing software development, nothing big, but I liked it. So for a while in my early 20s that was my plan. I also did a lot of network stuff, but I saw networks mainly as a means to get other stuff up and running.

And then I stumbled into a career of offshore seismic survey. Computers stuff was a big part of it. And then I ended up in a supporting role that is mostly centered around offshore networking and storage clusters. And looking back, my current occupation didn’t really exist 25 years ago.

I’ve been resolving them since the late 90s, no worries.

0. Because I’m old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.

GMDSS has a system and procedure for routing phonecalls over VHF. It’s expensive as hell, and the conversation happens over open frequencies, but it works for those times when there’s an emergency. Works all over the world where there’s maritime VHF comms and the GMDSS convention is in effect.

A coworker of mine got a scare once while we were doing a seismic survey far off the coast of Brazil. A message was passed down from the bridge that he had to come up and phone home ASAP. Cases like these rarely happens unless there’s a family emergency such as death and whatnot.

Well, we were all concerned for him, but when he came out to the backdeck, he was laughing at the entire ordeal. Turned out his dad had come across a really good offer for a quad bike, and needed to know if he should order it for him.

I want to be buried with my treasure, and as a data hoarder I will have to leave instructions for writing it all to tape.
