Apple Personal Modem 300/1200 on my Apple IIgs.

I bought an ADC CD-100X player and listen through a Technics SA-80.

I know it's true and I've willingly purchased such things, but I can't believe that $2500 was the acceptable price point for that level of performance.

The Brocade documentation is pretty good. Which switches do you have? You can use the web gui to do a lot of the administration. If you have older ones, you may have to install an older version of Java Web Start or Open WebStart.

You could probably pick up an old Brocade 300 for cheap.

My problem with FC switches is that you mostly set it and forget it, but then something happens and you have to re-remember the syntax; usually because something broke.

What iffing a possible scenario: Meta positions itself as an instance host, like how WordPress hosts blogs. "We'll take the headache out of setting up an instance, but you control everything else!" Free? Low cost? Removing the technical hurdles of hosting your own instance could entice a lot of would be admins to go this route.

It gives the illusion of control, but Meta still back channel collects all data.

Given the prevalence of social media platforms where you post videos of yourself, it seems pretty easy to get enough voice sampling to generate a convincing clone. Depending on how much personal info she and her family members put out on social media, it's trivial to connect all the dots to concoct a plausible scenario to scam someone.

Now whether or not it was "just a prank, bro" from family or whomever, I don't know.

Agree about large dual sports. I've been eyeballin' the Honda XR150L pretty hard as of late. Someone nearby also had a 2019 G310GS for sale for below $4k which got my wallet quivering a little.

Road-going two-strokes like your TS are rare to see anymore. The last two-stroke I touched was a YSR50.

Motorcycles You Have Known (self.motorcycles)

What did you used to ride? What are you riding now? Which one did you love the most? What's laying in a torn apart pile in your garage? Any stories behind them?

My first squidbike. Rode this thing EVERYWHERE, but then I busted the 2nd/6th gear dogs. Successfully replaced them, but it leaked oil from then on from splitting the cases.

My second less squiddy bike; I really loved the SV. Great handler after the RT prog springs and Penske rear shock were put on.

Number 3. I could never get the hang of riding this correctly. It wanted to go very fast and I didn't.

Number 3.5 (basketcase). Rode it, like, twice. Intended to restore it, but ended up giving it away for free. It was super dangerous to ride (i.e. brakes? what are brakes?).

Current (old man bike):

For systems creation, provisioning and config management Hashicorp's terraform and packer, and RedHat's ansible are indispensable.

govc for managing guests in vCenter.

jq for parsing json.

I like tmux better than screen, but use both.

Not really a tool, per se, but Netbox is a great DCIM/IPAM application for managing your infrastructure.

Just learned about it and am currently learning, but Apache JMeter looks like a useful tool for running automated load testing against different kinds of services.

Oh man, I saw Macross: Do You Remember Love in a Daiei store in Hawaii, like in 1985? It was playing in some store display for electronics. I probably stood there watching the entire thing. I wrote the store the next day asking "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?", and they forwarded it to the guy who owned it. He was super nice and wrote back. He was from Japan and did business with the store, back and forth between Hawaii and Japan, and had picked it up in Tokyo. Anyway, that really galvanized the whole anime thing for me.

But watched a lot of Tranzor Z (Manzinger Z), StarBlazers, and the two (wildly) different Voltron series beforehand. And of course, Robotech.

I had this happen and remembered I had a reserve setting on the petcock. Just enough to make it to the next gas station.
