where there's desire there's gonna be a flame, where there's a flame someone's bound to get burnt, but just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die you gotta get up and try try tryyyyyyy tryyyy try tryyyy { toForget(); } catch (Exception e) { new cupOfWine(); throw ComputerOutOfWindowException(); }

Out of here. @runfrodorun, @GodHatesMe, it's been a pleasure to meet you both. I sincerely hope you do well. But I feel like I'm mostly reading poorly written support tickets mixed with occasional very lame attempts to hit on girls and some very bad memes.

FP/Math guy here. Just opened Ionic docs because... anyways. Why am I getting an unusual amount of red flag raising here? Even scared to go on.

When you over-engineer so much your error throwing library that it ends up as an OS and you decide to call it Windows.2

So basically a friend was tasked with doing some syadmin on a propietary system running on top of GNU/Linux (they distribute the software as a distro).
Called me about an hour ago because there was some odd stuff happening so I log into the system and start figuring out what the actual fuck is up.
Just now we discovered that for a certain critical feature you just need to trust that there will be no eavesdroppers, meaning you send system credentials in cleartext over the network, and it won't work if it's not so.
Of course, some tunnels and routing later (which by the way, is "manual" configuration which is highly discouraged by the creators of this piece of crap) we kind of managed to overcome this obvious fail.
Now then, can you please explain me again how is it that these companies grab open source, make useless layers that limit it in every way possible and still profit? I mean, for fucks sake, you should at least let people manage shit with standard, well understood tools instead of "improving system administration", "easing it for...", for whom?
I'm so happy to log into our production server and be welcomed by beastie. -
I miss IRC violence every now and then. Nowadays the internet is just way too supportive and condescending. I mean, what has become of RTFMs :'(. We're ourselves spoiling the next-gen of idiotic programmers, re-filling the rant machinery.3

Half asleep here, I was doing a large manual backup to a mounted directory... fast forward an hour and here I am issuing umount just to find out I forgot to mount that directory. Fuck me.

What the actual fucking fuck? I've spent almost two days debugging this motherfucking piece of shit.
So.
YOUR BIOS HAS A WINDOW WITH A DROP SHADOW SO VERY COOL OF YOU IBM, BUT YOU CAN'T GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER WHEN IT COMES TO BOOTING.
I mean, what's the fucking logic? I don't fucking need a nice interface to my BIOS. No one fucking does when it comes to server hardware.
This is it for me. Fuck IBM. Fuck it hard. I really hope Oracle buys you.3 -
And here I am, staring at a piece of code shared by a friend. I've never seen mutable state being pushed so far, nor a darker night than the one approaching the poor soul that will have to deal with it.
