Hey it's free, so I'm not complaining
  • Been using racknerd to host my tiny stupid websites for a couple years, it's great value for money and a fantastic way to learn sysadmin stuff. I also appreciate that they give a lot of heads up for auto-renewal and don't escalate pricing on renewal.

    Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • This is going to be a Big Deal for a whole lot of people. I don't know all the companies and industries that use Crowdstrike but I might guess it will result in airline delays, banking outages, and hospital computer systems failing. Hopefully nobody gets hurt because of it.

  • Not my site, though I've bought from him before. The Corne PCBs are pretty popular and can be bought lots of places. I think the username is because he's active on reddit and answers tech support style questions there.

  • IAEA patch is a nice touch! To lean into the nuclear theme I'd recommended a respirator around her neck, those disposable plastic boot covers, and a dosimeter flapping on a lanyard

    Employed lemmings, how did you get hired?
  • Nuclear engineer. Went to school for dual degrees in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, got decent grades and had two relevant internships. Interviewed at a college job fair, had some follow-up interviews, and likely stood out because I was computer literate.

    Lawmakers Make Their Fortunes Investing Bribe Money in Insider Trading
  • I think you can do it via Quiver Quantatative, but there's some sort of fee structure. https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading

    Theoretically, there are reporting requirements and the trades are public knowledge. Don't know where that information lives though.

    Any suggestions for a good buy it for life backpack?
  • My first year in high school (US) I bought a used "German Mountain Rucksack" from a military surplus catalog. Heavy canvas, rubberized top and bottom, triple stitching, buckles and drawstrings instead of zippers.

    I used it all through HS and college, and I've taken it on dozens of flights across the country and overseas. I'll frequently load it up with 40lb of groceries and bike home from the store. It looked like it had gone through a warzone when I got it (and in all probability it has) but even after 20+ years of rough use it's still going strong - so that's my vote.
