- Comment on What's going on with PHP? 2 days ago:
To be fair, it’s quite a biggie.
I remember a day when we had 4 major ssh Vulnerabilities in the same day. We were on advance notice because #OSVendor so we got them as they came in and went nuts.
And each one that came in spawned another new effort of research, patch, test, roll, systest, releng, ship. It was all day, all-hands, every group, panic.
Wait. Now I can’t decide whether it was 2002 or 2003, because there were 2 days where that fucking happened.
With openssh.
Keep your pants on, right?

Don’t change. Theyshould change: they’re the ones who didn’t spell it right and then didn’t proof it or fix it.
- Comment on ‘People sell their best stuff on Vinted’ – how charity shops became a dumping ground for unsellable clothes 1 week ago:
Good donations show up on eBay, not the racks. They did it before their donors did, apparently.
- Comment on I am a data hoarder of knowledge, movies, music, books, programs, games, interesting posts, and so on. Is there a place where it can let me download/torrent till my hearts content? 1 week ago:
- It’s "to my heart’s content"
- It would be 'til otherwise
- Comment on How much I judge videos by their thumbnails unsettles me 2 weeks ago:
Don’t worry. You don’t need to use vim.
Vim is mid-late 1900s software with colors added, essentially propped up by momentum and clique ritual, supported by efficiency tropes tired already in the '90s. Its only value is dopamine from the daily coping with its interface and a feeling of belonging to the elitist therapy group of similar survivors. It’s doomer prepper but in editor form.
- Comment on Anthropic asks users to stop being mean to Claude 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been mandated to use an LLM - but not too much because token$, but efficiently, and whatever - and I get frustrated often. I will write things like ANSWER MY QUESTION and tell it it has a word budget of 10 words. I know I’m gonna trip some criteria and be locked out.
It’ll be awesome.

Potential Vulnerabilities.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Maybe for the apostrophe abuse? It’d be “ginned” in English.
- Comment on I wonder why people treat it like an Ancient Egyptian cat? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, you do wonder. Glad I could answer that for you.
- Comment on Why is Christa Pike from TN being kept alive after two failed execution attempts? 2 weeks ago:
For the same reason enemy combatants move from hated enemy to protected prisoner the moment they surrender. The same reason cops must move from violence to first-aid the moment the situation goes safe (YMMV in America, though).
- Comment on These "warnings" that some people think mean anything 3 weeks ago:
Theyre just trying to minimize the damage to your car in case a human secured the load and it’s got the slightest chance of coming loose.
It’s not always just to thumb their nose at you in court.
- Comment on It started on monday, worked thru tuesday, and hasn't moved since. 4 weeks ago:
I agree, but only because I’m jealous they’ve discovered prosperity without it being a labour death-march.
- Comment on ChatGPT Helped Tumbler Ridge Shooter Focus on Guns, Tactics, and Terror 4 weeks ago:
Phew. Glad to hear it wasn’t a glitch in parenting, policing, school support, gun safety or negligence. Everyone can rest easy now, and also not consider fixing anything. Let’s sue like Americans and move on.
- Comment on Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking" as workers spend 12-hour days pressing enter 4 weeks ago:
They made us use ansible at work. Then they made us use an LLM .
Onencanceks out the other, IMHO. None of the things I wanted to do are represented here, forced to slop some yaml together instead of building and maintaining actual software. Ai use kills any recall, expertise, or enjoyment.
But here’s the thing. I never want to think about how to affect a change via a bad listing grammar. I never want to recall the decisions I made while doing so. I never want to learn how to make better ansible. I never want to show my friends that code either.
I’m absolutely tickled to give it to the slop machine and let it accomplish the goals with very little investment from me. Fuck Ai, but also fuck ansible.

We need to report the error. Daily.
- Comment on Is there a difference between "comfortable space" and a "safespace"? 4 weeks ago:
“safespace” is, ironically, missing a space of its own.

Well. They’d get volunteers, anyway.
Lots of em.
- Comment on Garbage Trucks Now Have AI Cameras To Score Your House and Clock Code Violations 5 weeks ago:
Garbage trucks have had cameras for a while now; just not fed into Ai for the nickels and the dimes.
Garbage trucks get run into or brake-checked aggressively, and they need the dashcam to show the entrapment. I dunno about you, but I was stunned to hear that people specifically target rubbish trucks.

Yes: “advice”, like “help”, never gets an S.
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 1 month ago:
I’ve had SMS messages read to me by a third party, not a cop. I’ve had transcripts of ‘private’ cell calls read back to me by a third party, not a cop.
I survived the entire lifetime of skype without having the same, and I guess I hope the same happens with whatsapp.
- Comment on My bank is starting to discontinue web-based online banking in favor of an app. 1 month ago:
Remember: if you leave your bank for this reason, make it known to them and to your friend circle. Encourage them to move to wherever you end up, and tell the bank why. Let’s make a pointless stink about it as we get our friends to safety.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 1 month ago:
“an overregulated economy, high energy costs, high labour costs, high taxes and a declining level of education and qualifications.”
Yeah. Because self-regulation and no taxes certainly worked for, for example, America’s skills and education level.
- Comment on If I wrote a script for a movie and sent it off to a studio or whatever. What prevents the person who recieved it from claiming it as their own? 1 month ago:

People who proclaim others are Grammar Nazis generally may need to focus more on spelling and less on cheesy melodrama.
- Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments? 1 month ago:
Without context? Yeah.
I downvote for lazy spelling, and there’s no way to indicate that. I’ll accept if I downvote a positive idea and in doing so make it seem like I disagree with the positive message instead of just the broken medium, but I’d rather not.
