  • A lot of other people who took the test got largely the same result as when they joined the company — my results had worsened (by the HR Manager’s standards) — she later told me that I was anti-authoritarian and more likely to do what I thought was right rather than what I had been instructed to do. […]

    She mentioned that my chances of securing the job upon re-interviewing at the company were slim due to my psychometric profile.

    What a nice thing to say to one of your senior employees. HR people really are something else. They could’ve easily lost him that day because of some random bullshit.

    Maybe you could install a local mail client like Thunderbird and connect it to your Gmail via POP3? POP will download the mails and delete them from the server. Then you’ll just have to figure out how to export the mails from Thunderbird/your client of choice.

    EDIT: This article contains relevant information.

    EDIT 2: Alternativly you could just use IMAP instead of POP to download everything and then delete the mails from the server manually.


  • First offense, 72 hour unpaid leave. And better hope there’s no complaints because not wearing it is reasonable suspicion.

    Second offense? Goodbye.

    That’s the key. You can do a lot with technology, but many problems are not solvable with technology alone.

    It does not matter how safe or reliable bodycams work if there are no repercussions for not wearing or disabling them. But since american cops are not even held accountable if they straight up murder people, nobody should be surprised that bodycams “don’t work” in a system like this.

    I recently upgraded three of my proxmox hosts with SSDs to make use of ceph. While researching I faced the same question - everyone said you need an enterprise SSD, or ceph would eat it alive. The feature that apparently matters the most in my case is Power Loss Protection (PLP). It’s not even primarily needed to protect from an possible outage, but it forces sync writes instead of relying on a cache for performance.

    There are some SSDs marketed for usage in data centers, these are generally enterprisey. Often they are classified for “Mixed Use” (read and write) or “Read Intensive”. Other interesting metrics are the Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) and obviously TBW and IOPS.

    At the end I went with used Samsung PM883.

    But before you fall into this rabbit hole, you might check if you really need an enterprise SSD. If all you’re doing is running a few vms in a homelab, I would expect consumer SSDs to work just fine.
