I see what you did there.
Is there a Doctor in the house?

While I understand the need for things like Bit.ly - have you ever really trusted the URL shortening service?

Nope. That's why I use a link decoder and then feed the results into URLquery.net.
The short URL decoder seems to be a short URL. Ironic really. However, I can't find what the actual domain is.

I still have my X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter game CDs and complete box with original manuals

1984... was probably playing Kings Quest with my cousin he had a computer. But we were only allowed to sit there for like a half hour cause the screen would burn our eyes if we played more than that a day.

Seriously? LOL

AJ, CRTs actually burned your eyeballs. The electrons hitting the back of your eyeball would warm up the receptor surface and potentially cause it to separate from the eyeball itself. LCDs were a really big deal for a reason.

We used to call CRTs "eye-socket-burners".
I remember the warm eyes after spending time in front of them and their high pitch whine

Yeah, really

It was all fun and games until someone started talking about their reputation score. Then it all went downhill.

Yeah Nice one @thanksaj and @RAM lol

I never talked about reputation outside of the fact mine did a mysterious nose-dive. Don't blame me.

Wow, you're old.
I didn't exist then.

Still, those have to cost between 5 and 10K for each drive.

$30K in September.

pfffffffttt, pocket change </sarcasm>

@scottalanmiller said:

The throughput doesn't increase like the drive capacity does so the rebuild / resilver times just get longer and longer.

This is the exact reason that I think parity RAID systems are extremely outdated and dangerous.

If you want new development features, make them directly to the devs, not here. This is a site that runs on NodeBB, it isn't the site that makes NodeBB.

This is.... https://community.nodebb.org/

Yeah, I was trying to be humorous but that fell flat on its face

What brand/model are they?

I just realized, without the upvoting capacity, the notifications system is far more useful now. A lot of background noise has been cleaned up. It is unfortunate that we are not able to use that currently to notify people when an individual post or thread is good or liked, but at least there is an ancillary benefit.

awwwwww, I liked the up and down vote function.

Now I feel obliged to reply to posts with +1 or -1 to show my appreciation (or lack there of) for a particular post.

Let the spamming commence.

EDIT: forgot to add the smilies

@scottalanmiller

Is there going to be a recording of it?

Wonder how hard it would be to stream the #followsam 24/7 with a go pro?

How fast would that chew your battery life and data pack?

Next spiceworld, I request that someone strap a GoPro to @scottalanmiller's head.

lolwut!?
