The alternative was 5mbit/s VSAT. 4G was a luxury at that time.

I don’t remember how many files, but typically these geophysical recordings clock in at 10-30 GB. What I do remember, though, was the total transfer size: 4TB. It was kind of like a bunch of .segd, and they were stored in this server cluster that was mounted in a shipping container for easy transport and lifting onboard survey ships. Some geophysics processors needed it on the other side of the world. There were nobody physically heading in the same direction as the transfer, so we figured it would just be easier to rsync it over 4G. It took a little over a week to transfer.

Normally when we have transfers of a substantial size going far, we ship it on LTO. For short distance transfers we usually run a fiber, and I have no idea how big the largest transfer job has been that way. Must be in the hundreds of TB. The entire cluster is 1.2PB, bit I can’t recall ever having to transfer everything in one go, as the receiving end usually has a lot less space.

I’m environmentally damaged enough to honestly think that perl should be further left. It’s pretty easy, but I’m the first to admit that perl code looks like ass.

I don’t have a solution for you, but to get you started, run xev and see which keycode event is triggered by the keypresses.

LMDE is considered experimental at this point. It does take away the ubuntry, but not all of those removed components have been given the Mint treatment yet, effectively rawdogging you with debian in certain areas.

I kind of lucked out on my LMDE laptops - I noticed no ill effects.

Also, whose hand is that around the woman in the white dress on the left?

  1. The above are mostly just guidelines. Above else, be chill.
