  User on both platforms checking in, it’s great!

  It’s the right move.

  I tell you, the first time you’re sat in front of a CEO and an auditor and you have to explain why the big list of servers has a highlighted one called C-NT-PRIK-5 is when the fun stops.

  Explaining that it’s short for ‘customer network tester Mr. Prickles 5’, and is actually a cacti server never really seems to help the situation.

  At least a few of the customers got a laugh out of it being on the reports!

  You had me digging through old hosts files and ssh configs to find some of these.

  I try to name them something that resembles what they do or has something to do with what their purpose is.

  Short is good, and if it can match more than one of the machine’s purpose/os/software/look, the better.

  If it’s some sort of personal machine, it gets a personal name

  Buying 1 tb drives has been my prefered way to to do backup sync and distro hopping for a while now, with a $20 cradle, and a waller of these things, you never have to leave anything behind.

  Amen!

  I was interested to know if that could work, supply wise.

  According to these articles, the series x and the 5 pro aim to draw around 200W in-game.

  USB-PD 3.1 (honestly, fuck the USB naming standard, seriously.) can allow for 240W draw.

  So, kinda yeah?

  Yeah, but how long until it doesn’t come with a power brick, and you have to supply your own?
