Just overheard a critical production bug being discussed in an area I recently changed...

"DOH!"
Taken from "How to break software" by James Whittaker

When you forget your password, go to change it and get greeted with:

"Your new password cannot be the same as your current password!"

my play doh creations when I am bored.

Hmmm...maybe when applying for a Java developer role, and then being asked “what would you like to learn at this company?”...I think saying “Java” isn’t the right thing to say 😅

Here I am just realizing the reason the author of a rant isn't shown directly in the feed is probably to avoid influencing votes. That makes sense now.

When your mining rig decides to windows updates

question

Do you pronounce 'sudo' as 'soo-doh' or 'soo-doo'?

I use the former but given it's unabbreviated form, I'm wondering if I should be saying it the other way.

Even better... When your trying to fix something, but the fix was something you thought at the very start but thought "it can't be that".

Mozilla will update the browser to DNS-over-HTTPS security feature to all Firefox users in the U.S. by default in the coming weeks.

According to the report of TechCrunch : Whenever you visit a website ; even if it's HTTPS enabled, the DNS query that converts the web address into an IP address that computers can read is usually unencrypted. DNS-over-HTTPS or DoH encrypts the request so that it can not be intercepted or hijacked in order to send a user to a malicious site. These unencrypted DNS queries can also be used to snoop on which websites a user visits. The feature relies on sending DNS queries to third-party providers such as Cloudflare and NextDNS which will have their DoH offering into Firefox and will process DoH queries. Mozilla also said it plans to expand to other DoH providers and regions.

Time Wasted: 30 Minutes

Problem: Put the .add(myObject) statement OUTSIDE the for loop.

Solution: Today.Quit() || Coffee.Make();

Boss asks if the project will be finished today, I reply ‘yes’ and then realised I’d not pushed my code after working from home the previous day! Doh!

Was going through my rants and started deleting ones that I thought were dumb. There were more than a handful. What I did *not* know was that your +1 status doesn't keep past +1's. If you delete a rant - those +1's go away...lol serves me right for posting sub par rants in the first place, dont you think? 😝

I can’t control my thoughts.

When someone says “wrap your head around” something, I imagine it. It happens every time.

It’s always 50/50. The one times the head of the person inside my head turns into a play-doh kind of sausage that wraps around a random object, usually a cube, and his face looks confused. It’s hard to separate his head from his neck and it terrifies me.

The other times the head appears extremely solid and has an overall round shape, then I subconsciously try to forcefully wrap it around that object but it doesn’t work and that person screams. It terrifies me even more.

Thoughts like this haunt me through my life. I hate it but I also somehow feel like I’ll miss it if they’re gone and at the same time I can’t decide whether it’s like a Stockholm syndrome towards that terrifying thoughts that are somehow both so personal yet so alien, or just my intuition lies to me again. Both of those possible reasons scare me even more.

My intuition is very valuable to me, I value it the same as I value the freedom of thought – above everything else. Those situations compromise both. Intuition is a major decision-making instrument to me, so terrible things will happen if I couldn’t trust it.

I don’t know what exactly I did wrong to become like this and I can’t remember when it all started

Hello there I am back again.

I deleted my account (doh) because I was in a moment where I wanted to eliminate all my accounts and sadly I removed this one too.
So I lost all my points..

By the way I am here again eady for listening new rants.

PS: For the admins even if my devrant profile is deleted google still tracks my old rants.. Can you do something about it?

True story: After making a mistake while writing a check, I literally reached out to an imaginary keyboard and wanted to ctrl+z it... if only life was that simple

Doh! Programming eats away most of my time that I actually should use for school... :D

You know what's worse than being stumped on a very precise development problem? Typing out all the keywords for the problem into a search engine, pressing F5 to "run" your search out of habit then needing to type it all out again when the page finishes reloading...

*looking over an Excel sheet*

Me: now there are 2 rows that represent the same data, with the same description

Them: I'll just 0 out the one, and we'll ignore it.

Me: I'm never letting you near any of my databases.

When People try to name drop html5 - when you are explaining what you do for a Living

I just spent 2 hours tearing apart an express app to figure out what was wrong... turned out I hadn't started the mongo server. Doh!

Doh! What's going on Google 🤔

When you have a sendSync that doesn't return...doh!

So on my computer I have 3 drives. I had two m.2 ssds and one sata ssd. I thought I had misc data on my sata. Turns out I had it on the second m.2. So I have been running my game installs off of the slower sata... I found out because I am updating my m.2 drives to 2TB from 1TB. What is funny is the data on the second m.2 is just temp storage. So I pulled it and put my new second m.2 2T drive to clone from the sata. It was failing to clone over usb for some reason. Not sure if software or something with drive. Cloning in process so will find out soon. The funny part is this makes it easier to update because I was using drives wrong. DOH!

It will be nice going from 3TB to 5TB. Woot!

I was busy with making an end assignment, and one part just didnt work, it wasnt showing properties or gearslots of the first ninja
Then I checked the database and realised that the only entry that is not correct is the first one.
Doh

Why the F is my console.log not printing to the console!?!?!?!......level left as "Errors only" #doh

I woke up to find my internet connection failed overnight. Thanks for nothing BT.

Before the brain engaged and whilst waiting for the router to restart, I thought to myself let's check devRant... DOH!

However, doing that allowed me to discover that the devRant's app, at least on iOS, doesn't display an error in this case. I've attached what it currently looks like to me but think we can come up with a better solution together.

Typing a quick terminal command. Didn't work. Type it again. Didn't work. Look at your IDE. Goddammit!

What’s your pronunciation for “adobe”?

In today's episode of "Am I paranoid already?" - Caching Bind resolver forwarding queries to a DoH client connecting to Cloudflare

A fun little thing to configure, and now, anytime I am on my VPN, all my DNS traffic should be completely untrackable.

Does that make me paranoid? Maybe a little... But, the knowledge that noone - not even my ISP, can see what I am doing on the internet, is kinda... Heartarming.

Now, all that's left, is for eSNI to roll out and get implemented by all major web browsers, and most snooping will be completely done for...

I decided to re-write some old CSS in Stylus. 2 hours later something happened with the connection to the server I'm being forced to work off of. DOH! I'm pretty impressed with Transmit's ability to mount things and for me to be able to preprocess, but I have to use codeKit instead of broccoli or something, and clearly something in the chain is not OK.

I always see complaints of missing semicolons. But personally I always forget the parentheses for my void functions doh;

Day 3 of getting this stupid DNS Wireformat to parse properly --'

When you realize after an hour of waiting that the script was running on only one of eight cores... but I did get that hour off to read livestream from Apple Event....

So I just tried to restart my dns caching service while conversing with someone. I typed 'sudo shutdown -r now'. 🙊

Why does BigDecimal have to be so annoying to work with! Trying to trace my brackets from an excel sum over to Java... Got the sum working now greeted with dodgy rounding! Doh!

I really admire and respect devs here in our country that are helping to build useful apps to combat covid-19 pandemic but please, if the National Government already has this kind of applications or in their pipeline (covid contact tracing, qrcode checkpoint, assistance, etc..) please do not try to hijack by creating similar app and market it. Instead of helping it creates confusion on which info to follow (ie DOH tracking) and which to use. #random

!rant

Working on a (mostly) off-grid LAN.
Basically just a real-life meetup in or around Arnhem (eg. somewhere in a park) where we have some banter and some offline IT (or non-IT, whatever people attending want) fun.
Of course, taking the covid-19 shit in mind.

wrote an entire custom DNS server (using DoH only atm) for it, added a Matrix server (along with Element so people have a start) and a wiki for it :)
Still need to add a Gitea server (or similar, any suggestions?) to it tho.
Gonna see to have some trial-runs by myself (or maybe with 1 or 2 people) soon.

Soooo exited o see two months worth of planning and development start coming together :3
