Ive never heard kiloliter, at that point I say a thousand liters, or a cubic meter.

Hungary itself is leaning quite heavily into an authoritarian vibe these days. If one were to go this route, I’d recommend taking advantage of your new EU-citizen status and find permanent residence in a country with stronger democratic traditions.

It didn’t stop with the camera either. In the early days, wrangling the files and setting up a functional workflow was a nightmare as well.

4K raw video before hardware acceleration was no joke!

Haven’t seen Philosophy Tube on here yet.

High quality and engaging deep dives on various philosophy-related topics. Abigail, the face of the channel is an actor and playwright (and an academic) and that very much shines through.

I second Angela, informative, chill and kinda funny

If you like jazz piano, Keith Jarret’s köln concert is a masterpiece.

There were a bunch of issues with the venue and he ended up playing the whole thing on a broken piano.

This video sums up how the peice happened.

And this is recording

Edit: I like to think it’s a story of stacked disasters and a master artist somehow making the whole mess gorgeous.

Stream of consciousness from train of thought and dance of eternity from meteropolis pt. 2 are really good, long-ish instrumentals that kind of tell a story.

And to answer OP: Metropolis pt.2 by dream theater is a great concept album that has an interesting story to follow.

I had forgotten about maggot brain, such a great song! Thanks for reminding me.

A greedy crow is what they told me

Thats actually a cool idea, I’m learning rust these days, and building a personal news feed feels like a doable project with a ton of useful lessons built in. Thanks!

Why should I willingly expose myself to a firehose of increasingly terrifying news that I can do absolutely nothing about? The only possible outcome of consuming that media is increased anxiety and stress on a personal level, so I want to limit my exposure.

I’m sure if anything important happens, I’ll pick it up through osmosis anyway.

Thanks, I’ll look into what the Firefox extension community has. For now I figure I’ll go down to the pub, have a pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

Thanks, I’m using voyager and am filtering some keywords already. While it helps a good bit on here, I guess I’m more looking for an ad block extension for Firefox, but for trump and trump adjacent content. Ideally something that includes what his business partners and associates in the government are up to.

I’m not with that company anymore, but given the right audience, ‘that time the server room blew up’ is a big hit.

It could have gone way worse. A stressful lesson and a good story is best case scenario outcome when stuff hits the fan.

Years ago I worked for a large-ish post production company. They had recently moved into a swanky new location and everything there was tailored to spec, including the server room. In norwegian we sometimes call a server room a ‘machine room’, this is relevant.

As a part of the server room spec, a dry fire suppression system was among the requirements.

The summer of the incident was particularly hot, and we experienced some trouble with our cooling, so a cooling technician was called to have a look. While he was working on the unit inside the server room, he made a mistake that caused all the cooling gas to dump into the room, triggering the fire extinguishers.

A dry fire system works by releasing an inert gas into a space to displace any oxygen, effectively choking any fire. I imagine this is usually done by some solenoids opening some canisters of gas and the room quickly, but gradually becomes oxygen free. Luckily, my boss at the time was present and he quickly got both himself and the tech to safety.

All good right? No. The contractor who constructed the new location had ordered and installed a system meant for maritime machine rooms, not the computer ‘machine room’ we had. In an environment filled with fuel and grease, you optimize towards filling the room with an inert gas as quickly as possible, and it turns out they use explosives to complete the task. In this room there were three canisters in the ceiling with fire shooting out of them, burning pellets to generate the inert gas. The gas and smoke from the canisters combined with the leaked cooling gas, and started condensing.

Into hydrochloric acid.

While all this was going on, all of the servers and workstations were happily humming along, sucking the now extremely corrosive atmosphere into themselves, making sure that every nook and cranny inside and outside got covered in a thin greasy film of acid.

The aftermath: Mine and two colleagues’s summer break was cut short, as we were called in to do damage control. Ripping out and wiping hard drives clean was what we did all summer. With external help we managed to recover all of the data. One feature film was delayed a few weeks. The insurance payout actually made the company a bit ahead financially. As far as I know there’s still burn marks in the floor of the server room, from when flames shot out of the fire extinguishers. Everyone involved now knows what a proper dry fire suppression system for a server room looks like.

The kicker is, the cooling was messed up because a fabric awning on the building had fallen down and was covering the air intake. If anyone had thought to check the roof this whole thing would have been avoided, and that server room would probably still have bombs attached to its ceiling.

Slightly toast two slices of whole grain bread in a buttered pan, between them, you put butter fried chanterelle mushrooms, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Bonus points if you found the the chanterelles yourself.
