GNU/Matt :fedora: :kde:The hype I am seeing for "refurbished" or "renewed" hard drives for NAS usage seems like false economy to me. These drives need to be a heaps cheaper than they are to be the bargain that youtubers and tech blogs are saying they are. Some of these drives have in excess of 10,000 power on hours. It's been spinning for over a year and you're paying 80% of the original price?!No thanks<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/secondhanddrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#secondhanddrives</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ewaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ewaste</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/falseeconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#falseeconomy</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#server</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/refurbished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#refurbished</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/refurb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#refurb</a>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸A direct flight from Calgary to Barcelona is $800 but a flight adding an additional 1000km from Comox to Calgary then Barcelona is $700.

Ste CookMy workplace - in what I presume is a brilliant attempt at cost-saving - has changed its toilet-roll supplier to a company supplying something so diaphanous that it lacks the tensile strength to actually turn the giant roll in its dispenser. I now have to spend an extra 5 minutes a day finger-banging a bogroll dispenser to climax. I’m fairly sure my wasted time costs more than the pennies they have saved on sanitary products, but what do I know? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FalseEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FalseEconomy</a>
