I’m not mad at it :-) It was written for people who were familiar with the situation and posted in a subject matter specific forum.
24 hours later I feel like a bit of an ass. I thought about how many times I’ve picked up a technical article and wished for a bit less background… it’s kind of nice that we don’t have to talk about the whole history of OSS before getting to the news/subject.
It was struggling harder than I was ;-)
Most likely. My own unfamiliarity with the subject matter plays a part too.
It wasn’t badly written… but it probably could have used a brief introduction.
Anyone else immediately get a migraine trying to read the first 2 paragraphs/sentences of that article?
Worst experience. Fairly new at a dotcom and moving from the satellite office to the big-time (same building as these loosers who were trying to do DVDs by mail, LOL ;-) and getting the shown around and introduced to various department heads.
Met the VP of IT and Sr. Systems admin, joked that it looked like they lived there… found out they had been battling a nasty virus all weekend that had infected most of our desktops and was evading our standard AV package, it was taking several runs of a special cleaner or just a wipe/reinstall.
Got introduced to lots of other folks, learned many more things, almost entirely forgot about the virus. A few hours later I’m waiting for my boss to finish a “quick” meeting I wasn’t invited to and getting bored. But I want to seem like a responsible employee (and I was caught up with /. from earlier in the day) so I decided to log in and check my email.
And the inbox boings start. Don’t even have a functioning desktop yet and I can literally hear the virus spreading across the office. I’d manage to pick an old desktop in the IT area that hadn’t been cleaned yet. Fortunately a lot of computers were still off from the cleanup effort, so my fuckup was limited to a 6-7 systems, but that was still hours of additional work for the small IT team after they had already given up their weekend.
It’s definitely not the worst virus I’ve ever had to deal with with. But it was definitely the most visible/shameful virus related fuckup I’ve ever been responsible for.
Darkweb!
That must be why it stopped working ;-)
Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?
It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.
If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.
I pointed out that you could stab someone in the eye with a pencil making a basic tool of learning into a wildly inappropriate object. It was really rough doing all my work in crayon ;-)
“Students may not bring anything inappropriate to school.”
No idea about OCLP unfortunately. But I got a battery for my mid 2015 macbook off Amazon. Changing it isn’t hard but you’ll need a funky 5 lobed screwdriver. The 2015 and I assume onward memory is soldered to the board, so you’re probably stuck, although an independent repair shop could probably swap boards or something. The keyboard is integrated into the top plate according to apple, it was over $200 for the part last time I checked on eBay.
And don’t even get me started on the SSD :-( They are kind of a pain in the dick… but so sexy inside.
One of my friends mentioned he was downloading pre-patched MacOSs from the internet archive, so that might be worth a look.
Good luck.
Reminds me of a prank that a physics professor pulled on us. He put the trinitie sample in a large/elaborate Giger counter and then slyly kicked it into test mode while recounting what Trinitite was. “Oh… wait, that’s not supposed to be radioactive…”
Yes! A fixture in our garage for like 35+ years :-)
681 down 43.9 up. Not as fast as I pay for by a few hundred Mbps, but it gets the job done ;-)
Yeah… I guess people have tossed chains on other high voltage installations to cause self-destruction. We might be talking ”burned” a bit to literally?
That would avoid the use of fossil fuels :-)
They did say it was a nine-figure electric pole… premium German engineering ;-)
Well… now I’m glad I didn’t bother trying to scrub my data off the site ;-)
Never really bought the notion that they weren’t backing it all up.
But I gotta say thank you for helping to make Reddit great! The only thing I still regret is not trying harder to contribute when I was enjoying the site.
Unfortunately there’s currently no way to prevent it from automatically loading on your Mac ;-)
I’m absolutely going to give this a try. Thanks for posting!
Reddit now openly collects and sells user data.
With Sam Altman as shareholder #4 I think we got sold out long ago. The only real surprise is that Reddit got some compensation…
Everything everyone else said + cuckold porn… that stuff that’s like ordinary boring porn with a description about how cool it is that you’re getting turned on by looking at someone’s imaginary wife.
