Friends, have any of you ever used a key management server with ZFS encryption?

@beamjack dug out my old airbrush. It'll get a Checker Cab inspired livery, just like my old cars. A wink and a nod to being a crazy cab driver doesn't quite mean the same thing in the days of Uber.

I'm getting to the age where you schedule colonoscopies. So it's time for a mid-life crisis purchase. The stereotypical sports car purchase doesn't make sense. I still have the sports car I bought before I could drink. So...race car?

I spent my teens competitively racing R/C cars with my dad. We took our old cars out to the track on his birthday a few years back. It reminded me how much fun it could be.

So, I hiked down to the local R/C track and bought everything I needed to race. Time to go hit the track again and have some fun.

What you're looking at is an Associated Electrics RC10B7D Team Kit. Built to ROAR spec standards. I still have some of the kit to needed to race. Like this red pit mat from the defunct R/C car race motor company Twister.

It does feel weird to be running an RC10. I used to be a Team Losi guy, not Associated Electrics. A very Ford/Chevy vibe there, but Losi seems to have ended their serious race program.

@dntlookbehindu top quality stuff right there!
@Nonya_Bidniss it's true. He's very charismatic with a quick sense of humor and good timing.

If You Rolled Colorado Out Into A Brownie, How Big Would It Be?

Science suggests it would be very, very large. And still, somehow, probably larger than you think.
