(found on the internet)

So Alfa Romeo race drivers put a cloverleaf on their cars for good luck. I think this needed a 21st century upgrade.

After 10 years of lease cars I am thrilled to actually OWN a car where I can slap stickers on or drill holes into it because… its MINE and no one can stop me ^ ^ (besides maybe the RDW)

I got my nands on an old Fujitsu MX microserver and decided to give proxmox a spin. Some notes:

4 x HDD from old laptops perform well without sync… use with caution and have backups.

root@proxmox:~# pveperf /XXX-raid/

root@proxmox:~# zfs set sync=disabled XXX-raid

adding two SSDs in front of two slow harddisks have the same effect. (add them as ZIL for IOPS, add them as LOG to mitigate write delays / latency)

benchmark with pveperf first, then with fio

Mind your ashift. 12 == 4k, 9 == 512b

fastest way to zap disks to use them:
gdisk /dev/sda
'x' for extra commands
'z' for zap

some days are just more sucky than others.. usually right after those awesome days.

nice example what some IKEA and a couple of days can make of a sad balcony

this year’s birthday project has been successfully executed.

the glowy stones are solar powered and are as useless as they are cool

I don’t feel a thing
And I stopped remembering
The days are just like moments turned to hours
Mother used to say
If you want, you’ll find a way
But mother never danced through fire showers

I walk in the rain
Is it right or is it wrong
And is it here that I belong

I don’t hear a sound
Silent faces in the ground
The quiet screams, but I refuse to listen
If there is a hell
I’m sure this is how it smells
Wish this were a dream, but no, it isn’t

I walk in the rain
Why do I feel so alone
For some reason I think of home

The Seatbelts

The voice of Mai Yamane adds 20% more blue to this already sad piece. <3

Also: Pretty much my base emotion from November till March. Every year…

I immediately ordered a bunch.. that is almost as golden as the “Inshallah” stamp of a fellow consultant/project manager.

“if it works, it’s not stupid” is the greatest shit the professional world has never needed and I am sick of it. This is not professional, it is maybe funny but it doesn’t belong in a business network. I can laugh about this on twitter but not on linkedin.

seriously, just go back to facebook or reddit or twitter. But pleaes keep this shit off linkedin.

I will block and unfollow all people who support, share or like this kind of crap from now on, zero tolerance.

Also: fuck you.
