The two Linux machines I use at home for testing purposes have outgrown their useful life – they take more power than they’re worth to run, replacement components are only available as refurbished items, and the amount of space occupied in my room is disproportionate to their use.

I went to Las Vegas again – this time trading in the [...]
Those of you who know me or read this site will understand that I have very strong feelings about how financial and credit card transactions are supposed to work.
