  • Why would you seek somebody’s advice if you’re not willing to take it?

    People are dumb as hell. Between working retail and working first line IT support, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had someone ask me a question and then immediately disregard the advice. I got to just expect idiocy when I was asked a technical question at work.

    Thankfully I’m in a much better gig where people value my opinion.

    It has nothing to do with modern hardware since you’re still limited by the read speed of your disks. Given we’re talking about spinning rust, that will take tens of minutes to complete a couple hundred gig, and even more so if you’re transferring tons of small files.

    I could easily see it taking over an hour for a 200+gb install. Even going at the theoretical max, you’re looking at 20min just in data. Tacking on added latency from opening and closing many small files and any kind of fragmentation/disk location, that’s going to add significant time to the transfer.












  • Just because the Republicans have yet to bring another fascist that has the charisma that Trump has, doesn’t mean they won’t have a fascist with the amount of charism of trump had.

    Trump wasn’t an aberration, he’s the new normal for Republicans. It’s just a matter of time before the next person who knows how to jingle their keys in front of the idiot masses and they find a new ‘god emperor’ to obsess over. And with our luck, they won’t be nearly as stupid and incompetent as trump is.



  • I have a tailored suit in my closet, but there’s no way in fuck I’m showing up to work in that suit or any other suit.

    For one, I work from home and I want to actually be comfortable. For two, if I was going into the office, I would ruin it at some point crawling under desks and behind racks and shit.
