If it makes you feel any better... nobody *actually* knows how to use Git. We all just memorize a few shell commands and hope nothing implodes. πŸ˜‰

@nixCraft sheesh everyone knows 0.333 is not 0.333...

@nixCraft but if you cut up 2 cakes into 3 pieces you get 0.667 cakes...
Times 3 is 2.001...
Is that the way to clean your knife?

@nixCraft sounds like they were trying to split up a pound of weed three ways.

Just smoke the remainder together folks.

No NAT November is an annual event that encourages Linux sysadmins, developers, and network engineers to go thirty days without setting up NAT. Who is up for some challenge?

argv minus one

@nixCraft I wish I could. NAT belongs in the history books as a cautionary tale of network engineering gone horribly, horribly wrong.

@nixCraft I forgot I wrote Ruby code for a while. It was good enough.

Stefan Scholl

@nixCraft because nobody understood how to make a real alternative to PHP and why people are using it.

It's very frustrating.PHP should really be dead. It was from a newbie for newbies. But somehow it was kept alive.

If you want to barf: Read the source code for PHP/FI 2.0

@nixCraft You know you could prevent this if you just bought and additional copy of Windows Server and set it up for WSUS. :')

@nixCraft I prefer running Linux as a Virtual Box VM under Windows but auto updates mean you can't run a 24/7 server.

For those asking, I logged into my YouTube premium for ad-free access, yet I'm getting 10-20% of ads blocked and another time popup asking to turn off the Ad blocker. LOL. I don't know why Google thinks it is necessary to show Ads in paid options. Tracking never stops. Original thread: mastodon.social/@nixCraft/1112 This is why I have trust issues with Google, Microsoft, Apple, and other companies. Their constant display of ads or tracking your every movement is beyond greedy.

@nixCraft it's a good reminder that even if you pay to not see ads on YouTube, Google still needs to surveil you constantly to add value to the targeted ads they show you on every other site on the internet.

@nixCraft A rule of thumb: no for-profit corporation will take an action that raises costs or reduces revenues without a court order demanding it.

As a programmer - what does a manager do?

@nixCraft A manager sells people things you havent written yet then tells you later

Merospit

@nixCraft Tell clients your product already does things they just thought about after they started their sentence.

@nixCraft Takes all the stress, and keeps it away from the programmer. Always there when the programmer has questions.

(As I saw other comments, I realize I had bad experiences too in the past, but I won't mention them, because why would someone want to settle down for a shitty work environment, right?)

@nixCraft with my employer (Siemens) they saw the light quickly during the pandemic. In a few months time all employee contracts have been switched to have work from home as a standard offering if you are an office worker. At my office, many employees do hybrid (like me), some at the office every day, some fully remote.

So numerous brands are giving up on Threads by Instagram, allegedly due to lack of engagement πŸ˜‚ BBC Gives Up On Threads (By Instagram), Sticks With Mastodon darnell.day/bbc-gives-up-on-th Instead of simply adding a link option to Instagram, Meta decided to create a new app that collects user data. This move by BBC tells you how good Mastodon is right now.

DELETED

@nixCraft I'm not sure much can be drawn from this. DW News is the opposite, engagement on Threads and zero engagement on Mastodon.

> BBC prefers to control its social narrative

BBC prefers to control EVERY narrative. "How cool is that?" Not very; a little bit fascist, even. Be very very wary of them being in the Fediverse, please.

Just another day in tech-bro failure. So glad they are in charge of leading humanity to its future.

Add OpenAI, Google, and Common Crawl to your robots.txt to block generative AI from stealing content and profiting from it. See cyberciti.biz/web-developer/bl for more info and a firewall to block those and other AI bots, too. #AI

Christian Kruse

@nixCraft not block from, but politely ask not to use your content…

Roadskater, Ph.D.

@nixCraft And if one has control of the server, look into installing a port-blocking tool such as fail2ban that kicks in if it spots unwanted activity. I've seen too many bots that ignore the robots.txt file

I hope this email doesn't find you. I hope you've escaped, that you're free.

@nixCraft Never! Unless you have brought your sleeping bag with you. Also don't forget clean 🩲 🩲 for the weekend at the office. LOL

Thomas Koeppen

@nixCraft @janriemer A majority of companies cannot push to production on Friday as they are far away from CI/CD/DevOps for the majority of their IT and still think in Day1/Day2.

Seven-day-long battery life? Better security and privacy? Who needs that? It has an action button and USB C port that was invented ten years ago. That is the iPhone 15 in a nutshell. The whole thing (event) could have been an email newsletter. πŸ€‘πŸ˜‚

nixCraft 🐧

There are likely physics limitations to creating a longer-lasting battery, but I am not an expert in this area. It might be theoretically possible for modem phones, but I just don't know.

Do you like it when browsers share any function of your browsing history with every random website you visit to target Ads? Well, get ready, Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history theregister.com/2023/09/06/goo #privacy #security

Canadian Curmudgeon

@nixCraft Not surprising, and I expect most browsers do (or will do) the same. But I don't use Chrome since Google's digital gangster attack on Canadian sovereignty and won't use them until they stop the extortion. Ditto with Meta (FB and Threads).

@nixCraft You can avoid paying for cats, by adopting a stray cat. I'd recommend that instead of going to a pet shop as you'll also help a bit by keeping care of the animals around you, instead of bringing ones which are strangers to your place.

@nixCraft I had it in college and it was hands-down the best and most effective way to really screw something up…until I leaned C which allowed me to screw lots of things up at the same time.
It’ll teach you how a computer works though.
