@nixCraft General definition - see 'humility'

@nixCraft aren't we connected 24/7 for the memes? 🫣

@nixCraft
Saying 'I don't know, let me research it' is something I say weekly at work, no shame in that. Much worse is my coworkers that say they know, but it's wrong. My other favorite are 'no' and the 'Decline Meeting' button.

@nixCraft I've been a happy Labrador since a stack of SLS floppy disks in 1992. Ubuntu since 2005.

But I do hate Windows.

@nixCraft We were taught at school (a long time ago) that there are no other systems except Windows. The office is only from
Microsoft, proprietary is the best. After that, I got angry

@nixCraft you're going to offend some chihuahua's today

@nixCraft For people who watch mostly educational/non-fiction content I'd recommend seeing if Nebula meets their needs. It's a creator owned platform and during sales can be as cheap as USD 30 a year.

@nixCraft the adblockers move was so bad, now adblocks starts the ad and scrolls it to the end with a yellow screen

@nixCraft@mastodon.social
Why do people even do that anyway?

@nixCraft

Yesterday, I went to a site where "copy" was disabled in the menu....

(but ctrl-c worked just fine...)

@nixCraft

Absolute Enable Right Click is brilliant, once you realize that you have to enable it for each site you want to override

@nixCraft

A classic, always repostable.

@nixCraft another thing that's very broken today.

Is there a Bugzilla for world problems? How can we submit this as a bug report for printer makers globally?

So strange that inkjet printers are still so popular in some parts of the world.

@nixCraft I used to manage a Performance Lab at a VOIP company. Most of the company's labs looked like this, but not our's. The one exception was when we let some engineers install an ethernet switch on their own, which they installed UPSIDE DOWN and they ran most of the cables through the middle of the rack. :eyeroll: 😆

@nixCraft is the fibre splicer included?

@nixCraft *flashbacks of the CCIE exams*

@nixCraft driving with a dog is not hard.

Cleaning the mess, the mud and the hair is the hard part.

@nixCraft The guy on the right may be an average employee of a large German electronics store.

PS: I am not of the opinion that the majority of employees are like that. It depends on the market and the particular employee who gives this impression.

@nixCraft That’s why I call it harddisk. 😉😁

@nixCraft I started with 4.0 in 1991. First IDE ever, kinda sprang fully-formed in a world of CLI. Love at first sight.

@nixCraft
When I worked in a used bookstore people would bring in boxes of books for sale. Often found other things in there...

@nixCraft@mastodon.social
The only bright memory from school years ​:blobcathearthug:​

@nixCraft neither will I. Thanks for this

@nixCraft ..that everybody just uses private IPv4 and NAT because "IpV6 iS DiFfiCuLt!!"

@nixCraft LOL

@nixCraft ipv6 is a lie!

@nixCraft Or as I call it, the TRUE devil number 🐧

@nixCraft Searching code without being logged was also not possible around a year ago. I don’t think that this is a new thing.

Still awful, just not new awful.

@nixCraft The steady march of enshittification continues.

@nixCraft but they still gonna sell Copilot

@nixCraft Chase still only lets you do two factor auth with SMS.

@nixCraft

When you're remote and the IT support needs to troubleshoot something and they look at your internet connection and you're connected to "hey why don't you go fuck yourself" and you realize aw geez. Didn't think that one through the whole way did ya K.

@nixCraft as someone noted: 3 wrong attempts and you lost.
This reminds me of a sysadmin who asks users to set long email passwords in order to avoid brute force attacks. Wondering whether his server is configured to ban after failing attempts.

@nixCraft just leave mouse cursor on last pixel.

@nixCraft still do (more for loading screens these days though)

@nixCraft and you can reload nginx with no downtime with `nginx -s reload`

@nixCraft But to whom?! (And no, I don't want a picture of Santa doing bice/naughty lists...)

@nixCraft

$ export LC_ALL="C"; sudo
bash: sudo: command not found

Checkmate

@nixCraft@mastodon.social su -c 'open your eyes'?

@nixCraft might as well ditch chrome now

@nixCraft They were winning too hard :kekw:

@nixCraft where is this quote from?

@nixCraft for Minecraft, I'd mention the Uncensored Library

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/uncensored-library

@nixCraft I feel seen today.

@nixCraft
Plot twist, some code above broke in addition

@nixCraft@mastodon.social relatable asf

@nixCraft At least they tell you in advance.

Few things compare to hearing "we're so happy to have you onboard, we've been looking for someone like you for almost 2 years" at the same meeting they tell you the salary range and you're supposed to sign the contract.

@nixCraft In California, it's a law to that employers and recruiters must disclose a salary range in a job listing. When I point this out to recruiters, I don't hear from them again. It's a great way to screen out job requirement emails from random recruiters.

I have no idea where this is located nor is there mention of remote vs. hybrid vs. on-site f2f. That role is less than a cage monkey in a datacenter. I hope the recruiter that has the role has 200 just like it and is struggling to fill them.

@nixCraft
I guarantee this role has minimal automation and this position is just kicking off scans and doing audits and working tickets.
