Before his cinema career, Pagano was a stevedore who worked at the port of Genoa. There, he was discovered and selected to play the role of Maciste, a muscular slave, in the silent movie classic Cabiria in 1914. As the originator of this role, he went on to play the character for the next 14 years in a series of sequels. Pagano became an international star, and legally changed his name to Maciste. The actor retired from films in 1926 to marry and raise a family in his home town of Genoa. He died there, aged 68, and is buried on the family estate in Italy.

gollark: 5V1A is *probably* not enough for it to run itself + a HDD at high load.
gollark: Turns out I don't actually have a USB power supply for it around for some reason. No idea how that happened.
gollark: I have a Pi, USB/SATA bridge and 1TB laptop disk lying around, so I was going to use that as a somewhat physically separated backup for my server.
gollark: People have done smaller ones to learn more about parallel computing things, but 26 seems excessive for that.
