there are ways to see out which indexes get used and which are not. It's surprising to find out table scans or incorrect indexes getting used.

Just earlier this year I pad 35$ for 64gb lrdimm stick (420$ total for 12).

Now each stick is over 180$.

You can selectively bypass many roll out procedures in a properly designed system.

If there is a proper rollout procedure that would've caught this, and they bypass it for routine WAF configuration changes, they might as well not have one.

At the cost of power consumption. My small homelab is already at 600Ws which is around 290$/mo in california.

I prefer to just not think about it and blame charging my car. Also in Cali.

I don't know if I'd buy any of the servers or older computers but the internal components are pretty dang good. Stuff like hard drives, network cards, hbas, that's the real money saver right there.

For sure.

I upgraded my home rack to use cx3 cards, and I sport a ds4246 that has a single 18tb sas hard drive in it lol.

Kind of cool I have 56gbps network between them, tho I can only get 30gbps at max in iperf3 lol (due to some pcie bw limit)

I think that’s off by a factor of 10.

What direction

Is there a particular reason you're in California?

Work.

Wow. I had no idea. Last time I used windows was probably 13 years ago...

Renewing non-REAL ID driver's license is online. Getting a REAL ID requires a trip to DMV, and this is why I am avoiding it. Essentially for this reason, i am just choosing to renew my regular ID instead of getting a REALID one.

The good thing is I have many ids that can be used in lieu of REAL ID: - Passport card - Passport - Global entry card

So I will probably never get a REAL ID until California does away with non-REAL ID ids.

>Getting a REAL ID requires a trip to DMV

Getting a real id requires you to bring in paperwork that doesn't exist for me anymore. They want a utility bill? I do everything paperless. I am unable to get a real id because of their ridiculous "proof" requirements.

It's not about identifying people. I have a passport and can show that to them. I have a global entry card. Both qualify as a substitute for a real id. But I cannot use the global entry card as a form of proof of identity. No, please bring a landline telephone bill to us.

It's just another humiliation ritual.

They accept PDF printouts. The documentation burden is not a lot, but the timing can be inconvenient especially when you already have alternatives you can rely on.

I do expect that a lot of the proofs of state residency are things that people increasingly don't have any more--especially given strict proof requirements. And this is of course even truer of people who don't even really have a permanent address even though that's perfectly legal in the US.

> They want a utility bill? I do everything paperless. I

They accept printed pdfs over even a pdf on your phone.

Haha, funny. I was told specifcally no, your phone doesn't work. It needs to be a postmarked envelope with my address on it from a utility.

A landline lol are they living in the 90s?

I paid 12x64GB samsung lrdimm total $420 just this January or something. $35 each.

Now cheapest single stick is $195

Now looking to migrate bits and pieces to pg_lake from hydra/citus columnar.

Congrats! This is amazing!

At least there was a "thank you".

Some go on to sue such researchers.

Yup, they said thank you and took action only because this was a US-based researcher. Had any Indian dared to do this they'd be in for a world of pain. Not through a lawsuit, but criminal charges.
