  • The company commissioned an independent groundwater study to investigate Morris’s concerns. According to the report, its data center operation did “not adversely affect groundwater conditions in the area”.

    I’ve lived with well water. You must filter it and test it regularly because it changes. It can also go dry.

    Edit:

    The article is also claiming humid areas are good for evaporative cooling, which is incorrect.

    Also that above ground runoff is affecting a well is hard to believe. Wells are deep enough that natural filtration removes any sediment.

    The whole article is questionable.












  • Re DAS: no you can’t connect multiple systems to it. iSCSI and NFS on a SAN or NAS support multiple connections but the OS or app needs to support it.

    You should limit your connections to one machine per volume when using iSCSI or nfs. Smb would probably the best for multiple connections.







  • From US and was visiting Singapore when I came down with a sinus infection.

    Took the elevator from the government controlled housing to the ground floor.

    Walked 5 minutes to the attached small community strip mall which consisted of cheap food options, a grocery/convenience store, and a number of essential stores including a small drs office.

    Waited 15 minutes, saw the dr. Explained my condition, allergies and medication I usually take and went through the exam. We had to help look up some of the medication names.

    Paid $35 for the exam. There was some confusion because I expected it to cost more and I asked about. They apologized and said that since I’m foreign I had to pay full price.

    Walked across the mall to the small pharmacy. Waited 5 minutes for the antibiotics prescription. Paid maybe $5?

    Bought some tea from the grocery and was better over a few days.

    People from the US who travel and need healthcare know very well our system is the worst.
