I have one similar and it does work, granted the ambient humidity is less than around 50% I live in the desert in northern nevada and we cool our house with a huge one and I have a small desk size one I use in my room. Most of the time our ambient humidity is in the mid teens here so they work rather well.
I will say ‘I like my coffee like I like my women, black and strong’. My wife is a tiny white girl so I tend to get funny looks when I say it.
Centos in like 2008… idk the version, i had to learn how to set up a basic internal http server with a sql database or something from zero. It was fun.
118F -42F. Both extremes experienced in northern Nevada.
Worked in tech support for a major internet provider. We would constantly have major ouages in various locations due to overtaxed systems going down. Corporate refused to allow us to admit that there were problems on our end and forced the techs to troubleshoot the customer calls, even though we all knew that we could do nothing for the customer. Saw multiple techs releived of their job for telling the truth to the customers. So many hours wasted on both the customer and techs part.
47 here… I suppose im at the tail end of the people who still had a chance. We have a house that is half paid off but that needs a new roof, windows, and flooring that we cannot afford to take care of due to inflation screwing everything up. We have 2 cars but they are both 30+ years old and keeping them on the road is taking up most of what free time I have. When we got the mortgage it felt like we had finally ‘made it’ and that future pay increades would allow us to remodel and modernize our ‘fixer upper’ but the intervening 15 years has been an escalating shitshow that has us barely able to maintain what we have in its current state. It is starting to look tempting to liquidate the house and extraneous posessions and buy an old RV and become modern day nomads for our remaining years. The only thing really preventing this is that our 2 adult children are living with us still because there are no jobs that pay enough for them to move out on their own and we are not going to just dump them on the curb and say ‘figure it out’ like my parents did to me…
