If you checked for truths then you probably didn’t find much.

By “artificial problem” you mean the problem that they created… Right?

… Right?

I’m going to claim this one wasn’t entirely my fault and should have been coded better… But I ran it.

I ran a script that expected to run from a bin directory, cd/chdir to a input file directory, then do a sed on every file to replace windows line endings to UNIX/Linux line endings. After that it would start loading and processing them.

The problem was, if the directory it tried to change to didn’t exist, it silently continued and ran it on the current directory… You know, the bin directory… With all the compiled C binaries.

So at about 16:30 on a Friday, 30 min before we started our huge weekend builds, I nuked about 70% of the binaries by randomly replacing all bytes that looked like crlf with lf. Turns out binaries didn’t like that.

Good times.

I’ve got 30+ years of fuck ups under my belt so I know to avoid those and create brand new, innovative, fuck ups… You can’t just teach that.

Yes

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

… Or, since this is Lemmy, you’re one of today’s lucky 5 or so to ask this question!

It’s a Lemmy rite of passage, congrats.

If cotton is involved in any way, you know it’s some shitty shit. It’s just a rule… Proven by history.

I’ve never known anyone who said Harley’s were good for anything besides"style"

… This includes several people who owned Harley’s.

Never had one myself so I can’t speak from personal experience.

Built in foot warmer - labeling as a feature, not a bug.

I’m old but it entertains me to see people saying 7% is outrageous when I remember the rates in the early 1980s.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s crazy, it’s just less than half of what rates were there for awhile. One of those “back in my day we walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways” type things.

Blew my fucking mind when we got a 4% back around 2010 (year guesstimate, too lazy to look it up)

Every time Firefox groups my tabs on desktop I get pissed off and say I’m going to disable it… Then immediately forget because I was in the middle of something.

They can take the tab groups from me and give them to you, no charge.

Because fuck that tree in particular.

Tell the cows I said hi.

I always thought ABS stood for Antilock Braking System.

This takes me back

It’ll take a lot for me to move from silverbullet.md but I’m always up for checking out alternatives : D

I’ll give this a spin tonight

Yep. A few months ago the 1TB “King fast” m.2 that came in a $150 refurb tinyQ died. Replacement drive was… I want to say $160? (Locally, needed it ASAP)

I should’ve opened the case up when I got the PC and noticed the obvious knock off/garbage SSD but I can’t honestly say I’m surprised.

These are the traditional american values I support.

Life Stupidity, uh, finds a way.

The Hotlines are great
