Least surprising result ever.

I imagine that an ancient roman would think "Oleum Castorum? It's either oil you get from rendering beavers, or oil you use to lube your beaver..."

Did you know anyone who owned a building that had been tagged?

If it's Oracle Tape, it's proprietary T10000-series 1/2in linear tape and associated drives, that they got when they absorbed Sun (and Sun got when they bought StorageTek). Multiple vendors made tape media for these, but they were not compatible w/ LTO tape nor the IBM 3590-series enterprise tape format.

You could use tape as a backing for Venti arenas; don't know if anyone ever did so. The original Bell Labs fileserver used an MO jukebox for WORM archives, which today LTFS tape is a pretty close approximation of.

Counterpoint: DNS isn't used enough; consider replacing sssd/AD with Hesiod.

Hasenpfeffer is a German dish; per Leviticus rabbits aren't kosher.

huh, ok I was under the impression it was yiddish, obviously a lot of yiddish comes from the German, which is why it made me think hasenpfeffer is yiddish and of course the rest of the song, so I just figured; well I guess that's what happens when you're 11 years old and don't think to double check.

Iran also has a functioning court system w/ both qadi & mufti offering opinions.

Fair enough, I should have said credible.

I'm not enough of an expert in 12er Shia fiqh to say how credible they are-but they are there.

Hot swapping the failed half of a bonded NIC pair on a v880 was a treat…

I come from an era when unplugging the RAM pack could blow every chip on the ZX80's board, so hot-swappable PCIe cards are just absolute fucking black magic to me.

Yeah, I almost had a heart attack the first time I saw someone do a 'cfgadm unconfigure' && 'cfgadm disconnect'; then pop open the side of a prod box, press a button and pull a card out.

"See, oracle's still running!"

Things like that used to be how one distinguished enterprise hw & sw vs. PCs w/ delusions of grandeur.

The move to HLLs created new classes of problems that assembly programmers didn't face; so while the # of problems that necessitated understanding hw didn't shrink, it did relative to the list of things that could now go wrong.
