  • It was something around 40 TB X2 . We were doing a terrain analysis of the entire Earth. Every morning for 25 days I would install two fresh drives in the cluster doing the data crunching and migrate the filled drives to our file server rack.

    The drives were about 80% full and our primary server was mirrored to two other 50 drive servers. At the end of the month the two servers were then shipped to customer locations.






  • The Intel CEO had always come from engineering fab. This kept the high level decisions made by somebody who understood the product and how it was made.

    Then CEO and the head of fab was caught sexually harassing employees. They were both shown the door. So no CEO and the guy who was next in line were gone. They needed the number 2 in fab to take over fab to keep production up.

    So the board decided to make the CFO the new CEO. A guy who had a MBA was running a chip company that had only been run by engines.

    Profits went up for a while but then Intel struggled to maintain innovation and properly upgraded fab and chip design. Add the increasing skill of rivals and a increase in importance in chips other then server and desktop. which were the only areas Intel was king. It’s a recipe for failure.





  • I do use wireguard. Mostly because the proton app for linux is so bad.

    Look into how they have you setup port forwarding on linux using the official app. They want you to open a terminal and keep a looped script running as long as you are using it.

    Not only that but when I was testing it the script would start erroring out after about 5 min requiring a restart.
