I like retro computers. I can code. I do Google Tag Manager for a living. I make high traffic websites respect user consent and I get to do some interesting things with Google Cloud Platform.
Views are my own and not that of my employer.

Freebie from recent Zzap! event in Kenilworth, Warwickshire UK.
We own a yoghurt maker. We also own one of those ice-cream making things that is a ball you roll around.
Neither of those is as useless as what I got sent today.
Fuck
"Reported Uncorrect" is the drive telling me it screwed up writing or reading some data at some point.
I also didn't realise my drives (this is my UnRAID NAS, there are 4 drives) are 5+ years old.
Four Intel 2TB 670p NVMe SSD's ordered.
Also this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B21QGDCJ?psc=1&smid=A1IT2UFMVZEG5L
In theory, I will be able to load all 4 SSD's into my UnRAID server, transfer all existing data off the four 2TB hard drives and I will have a nice, quiet server.
Also in theory I can retire the 10+ years old 256GB SATA SSD currntly being used as a cache drive in the same server.
Things that unduly annoy me:
1. Upgrading to one of the fastest CPU's for gaming (5800X3D) and the #Minecraft Launcher taking multiple seconds to launch, presumably because "must login to an account, which takes ages".
2. Clicking "PLAY" in the Minecraft Launcher only to be "WAITING ON INSTALL" for a while despite that Minecraft is, in fact, already sodding installed.
New mouse day.
Logitech Pro X Superlight
It’s even lighter than the lighter I thought it would be.
Why they thought micro USB was still an acceptable charging / wired interface in 2023 is anyone’s guess.
Replaces my venerable G305
As half-promised yesterday, please bask in the almost limitless screen real-estate afforded to Amiga Workbench 3.1 on a modern 3840x2560 display.
