Technical Debt:
-
Current company is running one of its main databases on Oracle 13 because they refuse to pay Uncle Larry a dime, but also cannot migrate it (Oracle eBusiness Suite EBS).
-
Last company made copies of all customer servers hard drives and kept them in a cold vault. So, they had to maintain systems dating back to the 1980s to current in order to recover data from drives in cold storage. The local data recovery company loved them too as drives freeze up and don't spin after a while. They went under during Covid citing operational issues.
Was fun having a sun 2 pizzabox, a Sun Ultrasparc 10, an SGI Orion and a series of x86 systems on my desk all the time though.
- A power company whose name I cannot share insisted on having 5 access and control rooms per power plant (most usually have 2-3 per plant) for redundancy. It drove them to near bankruptcy in the 2010s because of their tech debt trying to keep them all in sync world wide. Coolest part: I setup 20 x 70" Plasma TVs as a single C&C panel for their HQ back in 2007 using 3 Matrox video cards.
Welcome to the dark side for good and yes, it is better... overall. I've been on Lemmy now since the first mass exodus when I deleted my reddit account of 15+ years.
While Lemmy is now my 'home', I do occasionally visit 3 reddit subs that have no equivalent elsewhere. It just happens and I see nothing wrong with the occasional view. It's not like /u/Spez can monitize my VPN anonymous visit. So don't feel bad if you end up doing the same, Lemmy just doesn't have the same volume.
COTEditor and BBEdit are probably the best Mac alternatives that will fit most needs.
Sounds like a return to the 1970s oil crisis that resulted in shortages, long lines and expensive fuel prices.
I thought my memories of those days were long gone. The way this article describes what will happen next however leads me to believe this is going to suck just as bad as back then.
If I were forced to pick, I'd say it was caused by an inexperienced programmer using AI that caused this.
True, but downvoted posts get even less views.
I'm down voting because even a common HVAC tech could discredit this author into obscurity. This entire article is laced with assumptions probably as a result of improper AI use.
Edit: As a datacenter solutions architect I also can tell you this article is garbage as everything comes down to BTUs. The higher the electrical use, the higher the heat output resulting in the equivalent tons of cooling needed to negate it. Go look up 'BTU calculator' if you think I'm full of shit.
One thing I am noticing in all of these videos: Russian soldiers keep getting older. Not one 20 year old in all these faces of death; they all look 40-60 years old.
GPOs already suck and MS is forcing admins to adopt program rules out of Intune to get the same effect. See CoPilot GPO failures for further depth.
Psst.. Soy de Mexico, but thanks for playing.
