I work in a datacenter as the system admin and waiting after one drive fails for a second to fail is asking for disaster

looks like SAS to me

you still have to replace failed drives, this design is poor.

I work in a datacenter that has many drive arrays, my main storage space direct array has 900TB with redundancy. I have been pulling old arrays out and even some of the older ones are better then this if they have front loading drives cages.

there is no airflow gaps in that thing… I bet the heat it generates is massive

was it a packaged deal, or did you buy them individually?

packaged deal = understandable (just call it 1 purchase to keep the significant other from being too concerned about you)

individual games = your significant other has legitimate concers…

that array is a POS. Changing failed drives in that would be a major pain in the ass… and the way it doesn’t disapate heat, those drives probably failed pretty regularly.

I remember running into a girl I knew in grade school at a party when we were in our 20s. She was often the butt of jokes back in school because she dressed weird and liked odd stuff. At the party, I took the opportunity to apologize for teasing her, because I was sure I did. But to my amazement, she remembered me as the only nice boy to her She remembered a time that I told her I liked her rain boots. She said that it was the nicest thing she remembered about those years and she was excited to tell me when she recognized me.

Funny how life works like that.

the closest nuclear site to me is Hanford. Yeah, its GREAT

yeah, Lovecraft didn’t hide his racist opinions in his works. makes reading them an awkward experience. and it’s always petty and unnecessary racism too

Mooo over Flipper!

(it rehosted on in my instance, is how I see the image. Looks normal)

wait till that guy hears about radio waves!

I had a coworker that was in IT, and she sore that microwaves were evil and causing cancer and even when I got her to admit that microwaves are everywhere, even if there is not an appliance focusing them in a single spot… but yeah, some people just cannot accept these things

you have to live in a faraday cage if you want to keep these out of your life… but there will always be nutrenos!

and it works. Sadly it really is one of the most powerful forces in motivation of people. The only thing that diminishes it is critical thinking.

DON’T MAKE ME CALL YOUR MANAGER!

I do not see any ducks!! I DEMAND MY RULE BACK!

looks like its back up?

i knew a boy in elementary school and middle grade. We went to a small private school, so we knew each other and our families knew each other. Fast forward 30 years and I’m working at this job, helping this lady with the printer. She asked me if I went to that school. I was shocked, it’s not something just anyone would know of. I couldn’t tell if I knew her from then She asked if I remembered Greg. Oh yeah!

ohh yeah… she was clearly a woman now but the moment I realized who they were, I couldn’t help but see that look I remembered from so long ago

if you see either of those things remember to be loud and if it’s a cougar, make yourself as big as you can and throw shit at it and don’t stop staring at it

same loud and big, throw shit at it for bears but don’t look it in the eyes and don’t turn your back to either of them

same for those older ladies but don’t throw stuff, and offer them a drink

but you can peep under a miniskirk… ok I’ll read your first draft but if it doesn’t work, I’m going back… wait, what kinda underwear we talking?

I’m interested but ditch the underwear idea, I’m thinking you should go just miniskirts

this is why I think my ancestors got it right

that thing that the others call god, we called it the great mystery, Wakan Tanka

you aren’t going to make any more sense of it beyond that so don’t waste your life trying. the grasshopper has as much chance to understand the Internet as we have to understand what life means

that was a good meme
