    Where I grew up there was a russeknute for driving around the roundabout (there was only one) 20 times. Traffic was reasonably heavy during normal rush hours, but every May evening the obstructed traffic was other drives waiting for their turn to do their 20 laps.

    As far as I know, nobody were ticketed.



  • Anything that does the job is good enough. At its core a server is just a regular PC with a dedicated purpose and software. Sure, there are specialized hardware better suitable and purpose built, but it’s not a requirement.

    I for one prefer 19" rackmount stuff with disk bays in the front, but that’s more of a convenience than anything.

    UPS is nice, but it’ll work without it.

    I’ve had to deal with the Brazilian computer market and how it’s ridiculously overpriced due to import fees, so in your situation I’d just get any hand-me-down computer. Servers generally don’t require much unless you’re doing something special or intensive.

    Get your hands on whatever you can find for free or dirt cheap (laptop or desktop doesn’tmatter), install linux, and you have a basic setup that you can work with. If your use case requires more, then that’s something you can accommodate in the next iteration of your server.



  • War Economies are weird. The only reason why the numbers are that high is because of all the military spending. Transitioning to peace time will cause russian economic collapse.

    War economies usually crash when trying to return to normalcy. That’s why Putin doesn’t want peace at reasonable terms: Because if he doesn’t have a total and complete victory, it’s going to be hard to distract from the complete and total collapse. The longer this goes on, the worse the fall will be, but he doesn’t have much of a choice.

    This is (one of the reasons) why I hope sanctions remain in place even after a peace deal - Because there will be one obvious person that can be thrown under the bus, and I’m sure most russians secretly want to see the main defenestrator defenestrated.
