1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Dropped the truck off at the mechanic down the street to get the AC fixed. The forecast next week is creeping up towards 110*

 

That's a bit toasty, Taco has some of the best AC I've felt in an old truck. I think the system is delightfully oversized.

 

Happy Friday

 

ay ayyyyyyy

 

something broke in my brain and now all I crave is diet pepsi . gallons of it.

 

Tour de France done by AI will break it even more

 

You're late

 

Same one for the 4runner I'm sure but way less volume to fill.

 

That's just all wrong, broken on two fronts

 

hahahahaha that's how it feels to ride a bike in a dream

Honestly that's larger than I would have guessed... but I haven't done an XP install in a decade or so.

Have you done anything with modern headless Windows Server? Windows Server Core and Nano Server.

 

All of my headless stuff is various CLI Linux distros. I'd consider doing headless windows if server resources were taxed here but they just aren't, I ask for equipment I get equipment, and thankfully my predecessor way overspecced our hyper v server

 

does that include the xp service pack updates? I thought the whole thing fit on a CDROM, unpacked

 

It's with SP3, I've never tried running it off a CD without removing features

 

One of the big selling points of headless windows is that you can run it in containers. It's a neat option to have, but yeah--I see how it's not relevant to what you're doing.

Most of the stuff I work on runs in managed cloud environments (Azure), and even there I'll pick Linux over Windows when it's an option. Linux is usually lighter weight and cheaper to run.

 

Looking at putting in a new (used) transmission into my brz because of some synchro issues, found one that looks like its been sitting outside for maybe a year, should I be worried about that?
Its cheap, but I have no desire to take anything apart to clean or inspect, just want to throw it right in

 

Have the openings been covered? The AZ dust and occasional rain would be bad for it.

 

how are you liking Azure?
