Indeed. I feel like we are the avantgarde with cobbled together IT. Feels like a Gibson novel, and unlike the tech-bros I did not read those scenarios as aspirational.

I just wanted to retire my beowulf cluster (12 old HP Z210 to 240 workstations and a few switches) because the gen7 i7s got a bit long in the tooth. But I may go and update that for a few more years and try to ride out the AI bubble.

I regret having delayed upgrading my old 4x2TB NAS array, because I didn't want to spend that much money on HDDs. Seems like everywhere is limited to 2 drives per account where I am.

May need to get a hotswap enclosure and pick out all my old 0.5TB drives for less frequently used stuff.

So this is how I learned that #signal is using #aws instead of their own hosting.

Since #amazon has shown that they are willing to succumb to government pressure, I am wondering if this may be a problem.
