It's a hot one today.
Rhel/Centos removed quite a bit of storage support in version 8. Unusual that a garden variety PERC got dropped, it's barely a decade old.
I'm having one of those days when I came into work specifically to do some jobs and nothing. not one thing is going right.
'89 Ferrari 643 being punted around Spa. First semi-automatic gearbox in F1, 31 years ago.

I left extremely strict instructions not to reboot a server which had been very susceptible to kernel panics on restart. Does anyone want to guess what the researcher did next?
The idiot that burnt out a police car (on camera, the twat) is of course some rich kid from Shaler. I am shocked. SHOCKED I tell you https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/06/01/pittsburgh-protests-brian-bartels/

VIEWS FROM SPACE: Just 2 minutes before liftoff, @Space_Station astronaut Chris Cassidy took this photo of @NASAKennedy from nearly 250 miles up, showing the @spacex Falcon 9 rocket on the pad. #LaunchAmerica

Traveling to Mars this summer aboard @NASAPersevere:
SHERLOC = an instrument to search for sand-grain size clues
WATSON = a camera to capture close-up images

RT @Commercial_Crew
The countdown to #LaunchAmerica continues! On Saturday, May 30, @nasa's @spacex Crew Dragon launches to the @Space_Station, marking the first time we’ve launched American astronauts from U.S. soil since 2011.
Weather is currently 40% "go" for launch. https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2020/05/28/nasas-spacex-demo-2-nasa-television-coverage-weather-update/
I firmly believe that people enjoy the abyss of Twitter much more than their complaints suggest.
The president goes to war with twitter and people still pretend that a perfectly viable alternative isn't *right here*. This persion even had a .social account. You get the social network you deserve.
I find gas turbines and mechanical things fascinating, I really like this channel:

1st and I suspect not the only sortie to the office completed to troubleshoot a server that would not come back up. It's an odd feeling being in a place you're so used to seeing full of life.
I really enjoy these things. Modern manufacturing is a marvel.

Throwback to heading out to Las Vegas, I snapped this picture of Denver using PIxel 2's night mode. Pretty nifty. https://flic.kr/p/2aBajK1

So glad I got to see this on the day. Pavel Vlasov demos the MiG-29M OVT thrust-vectoring demonstrator, lots of somersaults and free-falling aerobatics.
