@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.

@nixCraft Does rm -rf count as a git command?

@nixCraft I only use 4 Git commands:

git pull
git commit
git push
git reset --hard

@nixCraft It is known.

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

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

Just smoke the remainder together folks.

@nixCraft I did not setup any new nats

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

@nixCraft Wordpress.

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

@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 No Linux kernel, ergo not Linux

@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.

@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.

@nixCraft #BoycottGoogle

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

@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.

@nixcraft yes
@Smootnyclown

@nixCraft I don't 'do' cameras so luckily none of them.. voice only.

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

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

> BBC prefers to control its social narrative

@nixCraft

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

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

@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

@nixCraft the known OC:
"I HOPE THIS E-MAIL DOES NOT FIND YOU

I HOPE YOUR CHAIR HAS GROWN OVER WITH MOSS

I HOPE A PLEASANT BUT UNOBSERVED BEAM OF LIGHT HITS YOUR DESK PERFECTLY THROUGH THE COLLAPSED CEILING

I HOPE THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING"

@nixCraft Stanley Parable core

@nixcraft why??

@nixCraft Well...

@nixCraft I’d try for $10-20K

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

@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.

@nixCraft

Ha ha, yes.

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.

@nixCraft The camera is why I will buy it.

@nixCraft "ah sorry sir. Could you keep your internal monologue internal please"

@nixCraft @Selena Read that and smiled …and then I realized I am this person minus the two parts that could make me healthy :-/

@nixCraft
I use arch btw

@nixCraft oh

@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 been using vivaldi for about a year now.

@nixCraft
Satan got burned. 😂

@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.
