I saw the truck hours ago (and it was the right truck), yet the tracking page insists the packet is going to be delivered half an hour ago. [10:05:51] <Z-Man> The drivers here have the habit of just dropping all parcels at the small corner shop, I suspect that's what he already did. [10:06:23] <Z-Man> But without a delivery notice, I can't go there and fetch it. [10:08:17] <Z-Man> What really drives me up the wall is the tracking page's insistence on displaying information in obvious conflict with reality. [10:11:03] <Z-Man> Ah, I think I get part of the system. When a packet is loaded onto the truck, its tracking goes into the "in delivery" state. [10:11:50] <Z-Man> When the truck comes back to the depot without it, it is considered "delivered". [10:12:57] <Z-Man> I suppose the handheld signature collecting devices can also trigger that change early. [10:13:42] <Z-Man> And at the shop, they skip that step, presumably. [10:54:53] <physkets> Z-Man: what'd you order? [11:37:36] <Z-Man> A nice, fat 2TB SSD. [11:50:45] <physkets> oooh what make/model ? and how much did it cost you? [11:55:50] <Z-Man> A relatively cheap intel 660P for 200 Euros. Its one caveat is the low specified durability of only 400TB total written. [11:56:43] <Z-Man> I checked the one regular hard drive that collects stats that I have, and I wrote about 20TB total to it over several years. So I will probably be fine. [11:58:05] <Z-Man> Especially since the regular old HDs are going to stay and I if a subset of the stuff I do causes to many writes, I can move it there. The main advantage I want from a SSD is fast reads. [12:01:35] <Z-Man> Also, no particular reason I can't keep the smaller SSD (256 GB) installed and use that for high-write stuff. I don't really need it anywhere else, maybe for Z-Girls future computer. [12:03:04] <physkets> ah [12:31:01] <Z-Man> Yep, it was at the shop. Installed it already. 730MB/s read, 200MB/s write. That'll do. [12:32:06] <Z-Man> Now, my weekend is the usual OS reinstallation gauntlet :) [12:41:28] <physkets> ya, SSDs are becoming pretty cheap now, and ther eis a wide variety [12:42:45] <physkets> I recently got a low-end, 256GB Crucial BX500 for ₹2500 [13:29:46] <Z-Man> Nice.

is a site that has tools, maps, and other various items. It orignally only existed as a server control panel, but I slowly began adding stuff such as a homepage and tools.
