If it’s a backup server why not build a system around an CPU with an integrated GPU? Some of the APUs from AMD aren’t half bad.

Particularly if it’s just your backup… and you can live without games/video/acceleration while you repair your primary?

I’ve been using self-hosted Ghost for a bit and it’s a pretty well designed piece of software.

That it requires mailgun to really function well was a bit of a nuisance. But that’s a very minor nitpick that will likely change if adoption increases.

We really can vote with our dollars. The issue is that we don’t (I’m point right at myself here).

Don’t buy the things, we probably don’t need em.

If you like sweet BBQ sauces, Blues Hog original is wonderful.

My family thinks I have a secret rib recipe and it’s just a thin coat of Blues Hog original near the end of the cook.

I only found the sauce because a local BBQ place was selling it and I thought I’d try something new.

I second this.

It’s going to be hard. If the recruiter/TA Specialist is good at their job they’ll try to get you to give a “ballpark.” They’ll do anything to try to figure out the lowest offer they can make.

Do not give in.

Hold firm and ask what their offer is and go from there.

In one case their offer was double what I was expecting. It changed my life.

In other, their offer was just slightly under what I was expecting and I got what I hoped for with little effort and only a single back and forth.

There is one exception here: if they really want you and you are ABSOLUTELY sure you’re out of their salary band for the position, you can wield your salary demands like a sword. I recently used my expected salary (which I knew the company wouldn’t match) to negotiate a 4-day work week at their full time pay, with an extra week of vacation tacked on for good measure. Win win.

It’s smokeless. We had lots of mosquito-filled nights before the fan made its appearance.

This is real.

We setup a largish fan outside near our fire pit, attached to an inverter powered by a power tool battery.

It dramatically reduced the mosquitos. A few will still make but for the most past it solved the issue.

The name instantly conjures the flute melody.

A wonderful piece of science fiction.
