  • This, and, I think the “AI” investigations the companies are doing is revealing a lot of “what is it you say you do here?” moments. (An Office Space quote, which is required viewing for anyone commenting on corporate jobs)

    I think a lot of companies are finding that a lot of jobs are expendable. Now, before you all accuse me of siding with corporations, I feel they aren’t going to just keep the workers who have been pulling their weight this whole time, they’re gonna slash randomly or by popularity and just say “work harder or leave.”

    The next 10 years is gonna a clusterfuck.












  • Uhmmm so, yeah. It’s… a significant investment. Let’s say, I look for HDD sales constantly and I’m eating less these days to feed my habit.

    For the curious, I run on Synology hardware. Most of the drives are 20-24TB each.

    I have their 12 bay sever with two 12 expansions (36 total) and then another 8 bay server with two 5 expansions.

    I started with the 8, and when I quickly hit 18 total drives with redundancy… I realized this was going to be a lot more than I had initially planned for.

    These are also direct disc rips. No downloads. That’s actual discs in hand, ripping, saving, typing. It’s mostly from my amazing city library, the local video store, borrowing, and then the rest are purchases.

    And I’ll answer the next question, dual income no kids… and my partner shares my interest (or at least benefits!). They always know what to get me for a present.
