Having worked in an office as you describe, only worse than you can imagine, I have this warning for you: watch what you say at all times. Here's why:

Once I was talking to the person right next to me, frankly about some project aspect. Everything about our office seemed normal at the time, and there wasn't anything to be concerned about. Or so I thought.

Everyone in our little office tried to work as quietly and professionally, respectfully as possible. What I didn't realize is someone in our little room was wearing tiny Apple iBuds and was in the middle of a conference call, wasn't speaking, wasn't on mute, and everything I was saying was heard in their conference call. About 20 minutes later I received a call from the person that could hear me via the Apple iBuds and we had what I felt was a very uncomfortable conversation.

...because they also virtualized Mac OS in Linux. https://sick.codes/how-to-install-macos-virtual-machine-on-linux-arch-manjaro-catalina-mojave-or-high-sierra-xcode-working (...as was covered on The Slashdots previously)

That's the source of nightmares, just imagining it near the servers.

Jared Kushner? Yeah, Jared Kushner is my vote.

Relax and wait for the dupe to be posted soon, probably with even greater detail by then.

Just working at home, minding my own business during a thunderstorm, but you know those giant construction cranes used to build large buildings these days? The kind placed where the future elevator shaft is going to be, and the building is built around the crane, then the crane is removed?

Of course the crane towered completely over my house, and of course the crane got struck by lightning and the EMP took out all my home I.T. gear. Some of it just died slowly, which was even worse in hindsight actually. Oh how that instantly sucked.

If one of those massive metal things is near you during a thunderstorm, shutdown the gear and unplug it. Trust me.

I hear you.

For a citation as to potential damage I offer that incident at the AT&T data center in Nashville just last Christmas which took out a surprisingly large chunk of the regional internet for well over a day.

Netflix uses virtual desktops to compile massive amounts of data in the AWS cloud. Here's how they do it: https://netflixtechblog.com/re...

...on a QNAP TS-932PX-4G NAS
FWIW I use free VMware ESXI 6.7 (don't upgrade to 7 or you'll lose backup API support). Disks are configured as iSCSI on the NAS with Intel NUCs supplying the CPUs for the VMs. And this is for free VMware backups.

To backup G-Suite users I use this:

But if you don't have G-Suite accts to backup, this works well for single user Gmail:

...with offsite storage on Hubic (but no new accounts are possible)

Hubic has users grandfathered with 10Tb annually for 50 euros with good API support. If anyone knows of a replacement for Hubic, do tell!

Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?

We're heading towards Universal Basic Income anyway, so this'll become less and less relevant. Have you read Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke? That's where we're going to, without the alien intervention.

Seriously, are the fonts displayed within the user-interface adjustable? I'm spoiled on Ubuntu this way, and frustrated beyond belief with Mac OSX this way. I like my fonts big, what else can I say? Well, on a side note, my idea of a good monitor is a 4k, 43" TV from Wal-Mart.

DC should become a state. The reason it isn't has to do with our country's history of racism, which hasn't stopped because otherwise why can't DC folks vote for Congress or Senate like everyone else?

Move to DC from a State and you'll lose those rights and representation.

I'm glad it works for you, but still it is trending on google https://trends.google.com/tren... Maybe your comment was semantic. There's House, Senate, Congress, etc. We all try our best.
