ITT: Tales of tech laziness

Made virtual soundcard and streamed audio from PC to laptop using RTP instead of enduring the journey of 2 paces to my right to pick up and unpackage a $2 USB DAC.

I once botched an update to the point where I couldn't run any binaries except busybox and managed to fix the whole thing in 2 days so I would have to setup my stuff again.

I once uninstalled Wicd by accident and decided to reinstall the OS because I didn't want to download the binaries of Wicd and its dependencies on my laptop, copy them into a pendrive and then onto my regular PC.

I wonder if it's "possible" to have a home server in the countries where everyone lives in flats instead of freedom private houses.

why, most LCDs have PWM which is a flicker barely higher than your average high quality CRT running 100Hz anyway (for example LCDs will flicker at 200Hz, but a CRT flickers in a raster scan pattern instead of blanking the entire display, so I wouldn't be surprised if a CRT at 100Hz causes less eye strain than a 80Hz PWM LCD). CRT flicker is only claiemd to cause eye strain at very low refresh rates like 60Hz

but what about stray x-rays

I live in an apartment in burgerland, I have a server it the bedroom. I had to modify it so it didn't sound like an airplane taking off but otherwise it makes a good nightstand

How'd you modify it? I've got a DL180G6 that's very difficult to sleep around.

There's a brand of fans called Noiseblocker that are dead fucking silent. I bought 4 of those and modified the connector because HP uses a proprietary one. The only issues are that they don't move as much air and the BIOS thinks there's an error with the fans so the error light is on. But otherwise it works and the hard drives are louder then the fans

A shot of Aristocrat vodka and some burnt chicken tenders, daily, will sort out the majority of mankind's radiation woes in the modern era.
