I'm pretty sure that's how it works. My mother gave me the "mother curse".

"IF YOU HAVE ANY KIDS I HOPE THEY'RE JUST LIKE YOU!!!"

but picture a 5'3" Irish woman who could put the fear of gobble into anyone. Plus, please help me if my kids are anything like I was. I don't know how my mother didn't murder me.

That X5680 setup is my virtualization cluster. Plex is a dual E5-2650v2 and storage is a dual E5-2620v2. Yes, I run virtualization on procs 2 generations older because I could get four nodes shipped for about $200

HA! Good old xserve....

my i7 server is running proxmox with a 24tb zfs array, 12gb ram (yes I now, I should have 32gb at least). Desktop will get replaced with either a ryzen or threadripper build running BARE MINIMUM 64GB of ram. Then the dual xeon box will be migrated to proxmox for virtualization, and the current proxmox build will get something like truenas. Then I'll virtualize all my media needs, and transition the n40l to an automated backup server.

Yay nerds!!

I'm going to replace it soon. Probably with an M1 Mac Mini. All it does is run a file server and plex.

I just got back from Colorado Springs. I’m the first Xterra to roll out with the new Hefty front bumper design. I’m psyched! And can’t believe I’m trying to work the rest of the day instead of going down to Bullhide to peruse recovery gear.

Honestly, most of my rendering these days is almost entirely GPU based. Which means I'd benefit from something like a crypto mining rig more than a quad node far with multiple cpu's per rig.

But I digress. It's mostly just for fun more than anything else.

Who the hell can replace hugh jackman as wolverine???

I'm serious. He killed it. Same with Jon Berenthal for Punisher. No one else can do it and do it as well.

Jackman is obviously too old now and the torch needs passed. I don't even know who else could do it. Looks wise. Maybe Clint Eastwoods kid?

As far as punisher, Jon Berenthal can play that role for years. He better not get recast.

Could you imagine if Legion wasn't borderline psychotic and had split personalities? Whether he was good or turned evil, absolutely no one could stop him.

You know who is seriously an underrated comic book character? Nightcrawler. Dude is a beast and is the son of Azazel whose line traces back to biblical times and connected to freaking angels. So underrated and rarely used.

You know, I swear I heard Cavil has been talked about playing Captain Britian, maybe that means a start to Excalibur which could mean Nightcrawler
