My tractor thinks she’s sexy

It really turns it on…

You’re forgetting the part where they had an option to disable this fuckery, and then proceeded to move it twice - exposing containers to everyone by default.

I had to clean up compromised services twice because of it.

Your readline config sucks because the default sucks.

Add this to your .inputrc:

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

According to starch cube theory, two pizzas stacked on top of each other is a cake, same as lasagna.

Clearly you didn’t take the axiom of choice. Because otherwise you could have chosen to not make that monstrosity

Google Docs is the worst IDE ever

BGP isnt just Turing complete, It’s Cthulhu complete

real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable

Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I’m never touching C again)

Squirrel vs snail - who wins?

The amount of ink that comes with an inkjet printer is tiny. So a new printer comes with 10mL of ink, and the refills are 35mL or more. You quite literally get what you pay for.

The other reason is that inkjet printers need to be used on a regular basis, or the ink can dry out. But manufacturers have handled this by having the printer drip out tiny bits of ink all the time, so it’s literally using the ink even when you aren’t using it.

For the vast majority of people, a cheap laser printer is the far better option. Unless you want to produce art prints, but at that point you’re looking at spending a ton of money anyways.

I get very far by just keeping a set of folders for each piece of equipment in a git repo.

Pictures, etc, and sometimes the PDF manual if I bother.

The difficult part here is being consistent over time - making sure you mark down when you bought things, serial numbers, etc. a proper website/app will force you to do this, but there is flexibility in having whatever convention you like most

My favorite is from reading through a military analysis of the siege of Gondor, I learned that Tolkien included a reference to the Song of Roland

How very noble

Many cloud providers (the cheap ones in particular) will put patches on top of the base distro, so sometimes root always gets a password. Even for Ubuntu.

There are ways around this, like proper cloud-init support, but not exactly beginner friendly.

Once upon a time, I accidentally created a folder named “~” in my home folder (the company provided scripting framework would inconsistently expand variables, so the folder had a ton of stuff inside it).

I ran “rm -rf ~” and only panicked when I started to wonder why it wasn’t taking too long.

Good news is that it only managed to get halfway through my local checkout of aosp before I stopped it. Bad news was that it nuked most of my dotfiles.

The original article smelled wrong when they claimed to have broken AES. Thankfully, Bruce Schneier is far more authoritative than I ever will be and gives a short and succinct list of links to debunkings of this.
