My dad's GP didn't know about this, and despite my dad saying "it's fine, I'm taking creatine", sent him for a kidney check-up. Then they found an unrelated tumor on the ultrasound. Seems to be benign and hopef

Ok this might be weird but I've moved everyone in my 4 person team to our team plan and costs seem to have sky rocketed compared to the individual plans. Where before most people spent 20-100 USD, now the total bill is more like 1k USD

From the title I was hoping for this being hacky on the server application side, like how it aborts and clears the memory for a running query. Still an interesting read. Just wondering, why can't the TCP connection of the query not be

Hah, indeed, the story could have happened yesterday. Except maybe thinkpad prices in europe have normalized a bit ;) What I didn't write is that my feelings towards the USA were 95% positive back then. A bit less after the chase and t

Oh this brings back memories. Back in 2007 my dad needed a new Thinkpad which was like 2.5k EUR in NL vs 1k USD in the USA. He also wanted to push his kids to do something adventurous. So he bought me (19) and little brother (16) tickets to

I'm using OVH Cloud for a customer. There's a bit of uncertainty about the CLOUD Act. As OVH has a US subsidiary, they are still doing business in the US and I have seen claims that this makes also their EU offering susceptible to
