Second nickname obscured for privacy reasons. Oh, and if you have to ask because you don't get it, it'd be better if you didn't.


<Olli> hey, is a buffet a redundant array of independent dishes? :D
<obscurednickname> i.. only if they have a lot of the same thing?
<Olli> hehe :D
<Olli> I don't know.
<Olli> is the vegetarion option a parity dish, then?
<obscurednickname> perhaps it's more like JBOD
<obscurednickname> Just a bunch of dishes.
<Olli> yeah, probably.
<Olli> but then: you still can fill up even if you don't take something of all the dishes...
<Olli> and that's why I became an IT guy, not a cook.
<obscurednickname> having a RAID buffet would be kinda boring.
<Olli> well, it wouldn't have to be mirrored.
<obscurednickname> "oh look, another serving of scrambled eggs..."
<Olli> could be a RAID 5 dinner with a hotpare soup.
<Olli> or even a stripeset.
<Olli> I just hope I wont ever go to a buffet with only 2.5" dishes.
<Olli> though it hardly matters, at 10 or 15000 calories, who cares?
<obscurednickname> 15,000 Calories would certainly keep things spinning
<Olli> if you had enough of those, you'd start building up one hell of a cache
<obscurednickname> indeed.
<obscurednickname> is that where Code Bloat comes from then?
<Olli> dunno, but you might burst your drive enclosure.
* obscurednickname glances down at her 'enclosures'
<obscurednickname> i could use a little extra capacity. ):
* Olli refrains from saying something about 19" racks
