I can’t give more approval for this woman, she handled everything so well.

The backstory is that Cloudflare overhired and wanted to reduce headcount, rightsize, whatever terrible HR wording you choose. Instead of admitting that this was a layoff, which would grant her things like severance and unemployment - they tried to tell her that her performance was lacking.

And for most of us (myself included) we would angrily accept it and trash the company online. Not her, she goes directly against them. It of course doesn’t go anywhere because HR is a bunch of robots with no emotions that just parrot what papa company tells them to, but she still says what all of us wish we did.

(Warning, if you've ever been laid off this is a bit enraging and can bring up some feelings)

I know right? Old piece of hardware getting retired? It gets new life if I have something for it to do. I'm looking at my Brother HL-5170DN from 2006 that got tossed because the 2nd tray kept jamming. Guess who doesn't need a 2nd tray and loves this printer?

My first home server was a decommissioned small business server. Was a file server for a long time until the hard drives started to go.

Yuuuuuuuuuup. I always try to repurpose first instead of tossing. Even tossing for tech is a donation first if I can.

Only thing I don't love is a case I've had forever is an old enough ATX design that I can't easily fit all the new things in it. I'd love to repurpose it for a desktop for her but I don't think I'm going to love building things in it if I do.
