No of course not!
I'm not sure, don't get cranky. Scheduled outages sometimes can't be avoided.

Finally got myself some coffee.

Back online for now but connection isn't great
Is this a scheduled service interruption?
They don't need to schedule them out there since the unscheduled ones happen so often.

Depends on the miles you drive. I ran the numbers last year when the wife and I were both shopping. It came out that if you're less than 15K (even on a 10K/year lease with extra $$ per mile over) its cheaper. As I'm the farther driver, its was cheaper to lease her SUV and purchase a used car for my day-to-day driving vs buying new or even buying 2 used vehicles. So we bought mine used paid CASH (never take an auto loan, my fathers golden rule for some reason), and lease hers and just put a few extra seat covers and padding to hopefully keep the kids from tearing it apart

Getting Kerberos set up on everything instead of just SSH keys.

I'm the opposite. I always take the loan but hold the cash in case it is needed. Loans, when paid on time, normally cost less overall. One of those life lessons from working in banking. Loans give you more buying leverage because so many people will pay penalties that the banks will happily lose money on the rare people who pay on time.

Plus rates right now are dirt cheap. We got an auto loan for almost nothing down and an extremely low interest rate.

Then you can take the cash that you didn't spend and pop it into a high interest investment, like an index fund and potentially earn 8% or so on the money that you would have paid for the car.

Got back from lunch, first thing I hear is "That box on the wall has been beeping at me for the past hour, it's really annoying." It's the UPS for the time clock system. The entire circuit is dead... extension cable and maintenance summoned.
That's a loss of almost an hour

On a demo call with Comodo One.

Right now Toyota has 0% financing for 60 months... it's crazy..

@coliver @scottalanmiller Good idea, see I never worked in banking so I always looked at it as debt=bad but you're right with as cheap as loans are now so long as you make you're payments take the extra couple % and put away some place

is it really a loss? I'm assuming it's part of your job to troubleshoot, even if you aren't the one to ultimately fix it.

To the company, nope. To me and my project, yes.
