You experience the passage of time as ever increasing in speed, and before long the universe has died, leaving you


immortal and sentient


alone in the cold, dead cosmos, for eternity.

Bonus points: use non-qwerty keyboard for added obfuscation (but keep the qwerty key caps of course).

It is really powerful per watt, and has a built-in UPS. Any homelab type things you could do with that? macOS+homebrew will give you a nice *NIX feel, very familiar if you're a Linux user.

I'm a fan of having a remote homelab computer+disk for off-site storage. This would be a good candidate in that it wouldn't use excessive power at a friend/family's place, but may be overkill (I use a pi3 for that).

I hope I'm wrong! I'd definitely consider buying some


hopefully you can report back with results. If they're slower than advertised but have the actual capacity that'd still be awesome!

Most of the time that leads to them dying.

Well, squishing has a 100% chance of them dying. With a toddler and a baby, having them run loose sadly isn't an option.

We live in a very mild climate, and there's under-deck and fence space around our house, in addition to bushes, trees, and underbrush


fairly suitable for a variety of arachnids. It's not the same as indoors, and survival rate certainly isn't 100%, but it's not the death sentence of going from a climate controlled house to below-freezing outdoors.

This looks like it might be it:

The drive doesn't provide 4TB of storage either, considering the single NAND chip. That means if you were to attempt to write that much data to the SSD, at some point it would either fail or start overwriting existing data.

Because I can trap mine in a jar and take it outside instead.

I think large planes "look" like they can't work because their "relative speed" is really low


that is, their speed relative to their length. We're used to seeing birds cover tens of lengths per second, whereas a large airliner covers ~1ish per second at takeoff.

Or not, but this always seemed like a plausible explanation as to why planes look impossible. (Though given that hovering birds don't look funny, maybe this is a silly observation...).

I'd say it gets a little different with command line utilities


maybe "utility" is the appropriate term here, but I'd call something like grep a program, not an application (again


"utility" also works).

To be sure, grep is extremely powerful, but its scope is limited.

Hah not at all! I need to remind myself to hydrate and fuel constantly if I'm doing any sort of exercise.

If you're exercising and you drink because you're thirsty, you probably waited too long to hydrate.
