I can't believe we're still having to say this in 2025, but would people *please* scroll back to the top of a website when they're finished reading, so it's ready for the next person. We've even got buttons at the bottom to do it all in one go, it's not 1994 any more.

love the mental image of a dragon putting on a pair of oversized glasses and poring over paper hoard tax forms while kobolds rush back and forth trying to account for everything in the hoard

When the #Stargate establishes a connection, the wormhole forms with a visible water-like surge.

At the SGC, they can close a titanium iris in front of the event horizon, to prevent unauthorised access.

So, what happens to the "surge"? The energy isn't enough melt / annihilate the titanium, so does it reflect off? Or is it just an illusion?

When you claim to be a "Portfolio Analyst" but clearly are not even analysing a Portfolio in the advert? How can anybody trust that?

Chatting to someone who seems to be obsessed with 'boosting' their immune system.
"You can make your immune system work harder by doing this and getting it to 110%"

Sir, if my immune system is working 110% that is called an autoimmune disease

It seems after 10 years of previously serious and respected people saying the cloud is the future and that I’m a dinosaur for telling them it’ll be back on prem before the end of the next decade, I was right.

It WAS more expensive.

It WAS less performant.

It WAS less secure.

It WAS a gateway to increasingly more exploitative pricing models.

A lesson in getting carried away with the hype and not looking at the actual trends. This was always going to happen. Threats increasing, and compute, storage, and bandwidth costs reducing faster than your upgrade cycle.

If you ever think English is not a weird language just remember that read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme.

But read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead.

@futurebird I'm using (relatively) normal hardware, BUT...

The laptop (Panasonic Toughbook) on my desk is just an X-terminal. Firefox is actually running on my server, which is in a Connection Machine cabinet that I'm using as a 19" rack. (The Connection Machine is a legendary supercomputer from the 80s. They only made 30 of them. One is currently at MOMA, one is at the Smithsonian, etc., etc.)

So... normal server, sitting in what is perhaps the coolest 19" rack ever made. (The CM was, sadly, empty when i got it.)
