Once SF can drink we really need to put together an IRL party...

Send out the search party!

Party? We can have a IRL scavenger hunt to find Merc. :rofl:

Maybe more than you have.
Has anybody received an email or PM from Merc? Can't believe he has had no access to a computer the last 3 months?!?
I'm sure it is. I have a very slow connection by modern standards. I don't play the games, though.

Pronto. He's been missing too long. I've respected his privacy till now, but will email him soon if he doesn't show up. Where are YOU, Nitsirk? Update please?
I'll be happy to attend if y'all send me a ticket

I've flown Air India, it's pretty cheap.

Are you referring to the quality of service or the price of the ticket?

On January 10th I did get a reply from her via PM that merc is okay. It still would be good to hear from him directly.

Mubs lives in India. If people meet, Mubs would need to board a plane to do so most likely.

:idea: Maybe he's too busy protesting these days to have time to post.

Yeah, I have a bad feeling about Merc being missing this long. Feels to me almost like when we found out about P5-133XL. Here's hoping it doesn't turn out like that.
In other news my music collection has grown to the point that I need a 128GB microSD card to hold it all. I don't know if I should be scared or proud.

Unless he is in an ICU or homeless there are few good reasons to be absent.
Please ignore password. I'm not sure how that happens.

Thanks for letting us know it's one of your passwords. Would you like to also tell us what for it's for?
Why does it matter? Maybe someone could please delete it.

I removed it. You should probably change the password wherever you use that.

You mean physically, in person? I thought it was a video game.

I never have (Singapore, Malaysian, Cathay, etc.) and probably never will. Besides didn't ask for airline suggestions

It was kind of a joke. It was one of the worst flights I have taken.

That's pretty impressive. 5 different attempts at adding some redundancy / backing up and none actually work. :bomb:

It's almost 2.5 years later and I still haven't used even half of my block. Too bad I can't do the same thing with my cell phone. Buy a block of minutes up front that don't expire and ditch the monthly bill. Of course Verizon wouldn't make any money from me, but I'd be okay with that.

I must have really bad luck with uSDXC cards. I get a 128GB EVO+ Samsung today and it passes the fakeflashtest check, but its write speeds are highly erratic.
A 406MB copy of data:
A fair portion of the data copy was under 1MB/sec and it's large FLAC files.

Because I wasn't looking to pay several times as much money. I've done multiple CDM benchmark runs on this card, and I'm not sure what to conclude. Reads are consistent, but writes are not. Some runs were slow, some were as expected. Here are 4 CDM runs in order. The first was the slowest. The last two were the fastest. It almost seems like the card is doing some sort of garbage collection or internal trim operation after the fakeflashtest run (which writes small amounts of data all over the entire card, but leaves lots of holes). And this internal "consolidation" operation some time to complete before the performance recovers.
What is even scarier is that they were one backup away from losing everything. They had one copy of their entire database left. If that person hadn't done the right thing at the final moment, they may have been going out of business. We use Gitlab at work but we host our own and back it up with the product we make.
Github sounds like a group of gits getting together. :lol:

It's a microSDXC card, so it's not on a SATA controller. It was in a USB 3.0 reader. The latter two CDM runs are where the card should be performing. I did several more runs this morning and they were all like the last 2 I posted. :scratch:
