That’s not Charlie Kirk, is it ?

Ur Fav[e]

None of these look like everyday Sumerians as one would see in Ur.

Every time I see flatpaks, the former OS security dev in me cringes.

JHTerpstra taught me so much in the 00s, and his lessons haven’t stopped being relevant.

Redhat 35 years ago

… Was 3 years before it was created.

30, right?

Started with slackware, moved to RHL, worked on OL while suffering SuSE for UL and moved to RHEL.

The only intersect between me and 33 years of Linux is the darkest times groveling through the over-engineered frailty of SuSE while working on UL.

None of the rest even have a mention here

Nice chart?.~

Nah. I’m over 12. Use words?

In NJ it would be called a jughandle

That’s not a jug-handle. That’s a clover. A jug-handle is like the i80 on-ramp near Kennedy and Jackson in Hackensack.

And, if you’re up near Paramus, you only know that exit had a ‘U’-turn because of a sign as you pass UNDER the exit in question. It’s why NJ drivers are so angry.

But I disagree that the left-exit is better than the jug-handle. Slow-movers in the passing lane is always dumb on a freeway – it’s like someone on a 10-speed in the left lane. Unless it’s a highway and the left lane is a controlled turning lane, the left exit is the best way to a stressful day for everyone.

Don’t let that stop these guys from cherry-picking worst-case scenarios.

Dude, that’s vanilla bash.

You’re gonna love once you start

1. tagging your ffmpeg commands like do a thing # dothingname

2. Just !?dothingname later to recall it and run it.

Its a little easier to NOT accidentally !?alt and discover halt is matched first.

It was publicized as part of readline, I think.

…in like 1989.

IDE master/slave jumpers. Wow am I glad we ditched that.

4Mb Ram sharing 1mb with the ghetto cirrus video card, and somehow you need to run winsock and Netscape Communicator on it.

The whole time I’m configuring a customer’s machine and grinding my teeth, they’re saying how great the salesman was who sold this boat-anchor. I’m proud of holding my tongue for the 90 min it took to complete the courtesy job and go back to the shop.

I may need to start drinking.

funnier because, in America, it can be a traffic accident that IS the medical emergency!

It’s the very reason I left the US, abandoning the PR effort in 2k4 within my H1Bs, and came home.

I’m not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem

I spent 25 years without remembering that, you sonuvabitch! :-D. Sorry, the PTSD takes over sometimes. Goddamned supra winmodems and hot-glued ISA cards in overpriced junk RadioShack/FutureShop computers…

Locked down, sure.

But compared to generations before where a calculator* was rare? It’s fine. Interested nerd will still consume knowledge on the good bits and the cycle will continue.

*“You can’t count on always having a calculator”, the teacher said, obviously not clairvoyant.

Sauce? I just make stuff and opine freely. I think none of that is bullshit, but I’ll debate it on a case-by-case.

When I joined the company maintaining Unix, I was one of the younger ones. It’s older X who knows how it’s all built; because they did it.

So many supply chain sploits. Opaque dockers, toxic crates, curl/sh victims; the list is endless.

And ./autoconf.sh? What’ about autoconf.sh? Doesn’t anyone think of autoconf.sh anymore?

Just the pros.

But they’ll be the ones delivering real, sound, packages, that install cleanly and upgrade perfectly. Anything less is unprofessional.

Are we pluralizing “slang” wrong for a reason?
