Packing dishes you can also use your clean kitchen towels/dishcloths too.

Can you replace the CMOS battery with a supercapacitor that is kept charged? This should not need to be replaced every 4 years, I think.

Workstations machines get first name type names that are inspired by the brand of the machine. This asus is named adam.

- Comment on Post your Servernames! 6 months ago:
One place I worked we had a rule - do not name a server for any group using it. It seems the groups become territorial when you try to add a different group to “their” server.

T: "Tay" (a mythical creature from Scottish folklore, often described as a small, elf-like being) U: "Ufi" (a legendary creature from Native American folklore, said to resemble a small humanoid figure) V: "Vim" (a mythical creature from Hindu mythology, sometimes depicted as a bird-like being) W: "Wyy" (inspired by the Wyvern, a legendary creature similar to a dragon but with only two legs) X: "Xin" (a mythical creature from Chinese mythology, often depicted as a lion-like beast) Y: "Yen" (a legendary creature from Vietnamese folklore, resembling a large, serpent-like creature) Z: "Ziz" (a mythical creature from Jewish mythology, described as a giant bird)

Not so much servers as removable media. Three letter creature names: ape, bat, cat, dog, elk, fox, gnu, hen, imp, jay, kit, lee (fish), mus, nan (from Inuit folklore), owl, pug, qua, rat, sas (from Slavic folklore) and so on (I need to find my printed list beyond here)
- Comment on Looking for the Perfect USB Flash Drive 7 months ago:
I wonder if you can replace the storage element with something bigger. It might be a data drive or an M.2 drive. You could replace either with a bigger device.

Yep! Thanks! You get the prize for the quickest answer and Steven gets the prize for Most complete. No, there are no actual prizes except getting to claim the title “Sleuth Extraordinaire”

WOW Thank You sooo much!! I tried all kinds of searches and even tried to employ chatgpt to try to guess the word.

That was not it, but I think I was there too.

By the way, does anyone remember “Abort Retry Ignore BBS” a Fidonet node in the 408 area code? That was me!
- Comment on Seeking a name, from the mists of the past 7 months ago:
408 or 415 I think (Being San Jose / Sunnyvale / Santa Clara and San Francisco and Peninsula) it was not a toll call from my home in the 408 area code.

- Comment on 8 bit era but with 3.5" floppy drive? 10 months ago:
All of these are really good - As I said I already have an apple IIC+ so that covers the 6502 side of things I think. I am thinking of something like a Vixen, or Ortrona only with the 3.5" drives- All in one. Or something I could build myself with like 2 of these drives. In that case, I can use my laptop as its screen and keyboard through a USB/Serial adapter. But an SX64 shape is what I am looking for.

Indeed - Meet Exciting New Alloy, playing on tour near you soon!
- Comment on Proper HDD clear process? 11 months ago:
Some SSD drives can do a secure erase via block encryption where the key is stored on the drive itself. There is a command that simply generates a new key - Voilà your drive now contains random bits. I don’t know if newer spinning rust drives have this feature too.

- Comment on Proper HDD clear process? 11 months ago:
Does one have to supply the password at each boot with what you are describing - this sounds like the password is somewhere in the partition table. If so what do I google to learn more?

Since the disks are going to a ‘family member’ any porn at all, even the most tame, might get talked about.
- Comment on Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users 11 months ago:
Indeed - it seems that this tracking is done completely outside of the phone, asking the network where, physically, the push notification was delivered (Tower, time, and date) to locate the phone and ostensibly the owner of the phone.

If it is a hardware raid, would the boot sequence offer a raid setup choice before the OS boots?
