Maybe you can use it to decompress some files and assess how much disk space you can save using deduplication at filesystem level.
If it's worth the effort (1 mean, going from 1TiB to 100-200 Gib) I would consider coding the reassembly part. It can be done by a "script" fist, then can be "promoted" to a FUSE filesystem if needed.
Some teachers in Ibiza fly daily from Majorca because rental is too expensive.
Of course it works because flights between the isles are subsidized by the goverment, but stuff like this happens.
* Moving Dolly / transporte roller - Just four wheels attached to a wood board for moving stuff from/to the cellar. Best money ever spent.
* Lamy Safari fountain pen - I got tired of plastic pens and wanted to try fountain pens with a converter. Turns out an inkpot lasts more than 1 year. Probably 2.
* Pentel pocket brushpen. Addictive to use. Made me draw again.
Telcos fell in love with OpenStack some years ago and went all in.
Biggest problem with OpenStack was you needed a lot of hardware to learn how to use it and the talent pool was quite small.
A 500Eur/quarter budget for books or any cultural stuff (museums, etc) for me or my family.
My son was already an avid reader before that; but the moment you have to quickly spend your budget with 20+ books from amazon is priceless.
Former company had an unlimited PTO policy.
It was a mess.
Apart for the hidden threshold other people mention, I had several direct reports in different countries.
Each country had a legal vacation policy... and out 'unlimited' PTO didn't took that into account.
When I joined the company one developer had no vacation for more than eight months. She was Russian and was relocated to a country where she had no relationship... si she just worked. That was a huge liability until she took one week off to interview and left then company one month later.
