This cannot be an coincidence. I may actually finished something this time.

It happened to me when I was configuring IP geoblocking: Only whitelist IP ranges are allowed. That was fetched from a trusted URL. If the DNS provider just happened to not be on that list, the whitelist would become empty, blocking all IPs. Literally 100% proof firewall; not even a ping gets a pass.

I clicked the link with SUS knob set to 900% and the other hand on the main breaker. It did not disappoint.

That’s because people are now aware of all of this shit happening, and some discreet day, just flip off the power from the house, doing indescribable things, and listens to the voices in their heads. And nobody will know.

Technical debt means how much work it takes to update legacy solution to a modern solution. E.g. each time a new C++ standard is used, all code written with the old standard should be checked. The work time needed to do this is paying up the technical dept.

Now, if you are lazy, and didn’t clean up the code, used the easy and sloppy solution, next time you have twice the work to be done. So the dept gets worse, if you do nothing.

I touched a piece code that was +10 years old, according to git. Should I be scared? Will my change it survive??

I had a similar debacle, when I managed to corrupt a btrfs file system to point it wouldn’t mount again…

I was preparing it to have as my main system on bare hardware. I had accidentally mounted the same block device simultaneously in the host and guest: kablamo silent corruption and all 5 hours of progress lost.^* :(

*shred the guest VM, host was ok.

On arch, UEFI boot vars are mounted at /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. It’s unwise to rm -rf them…

I’m considering to replace the TIM (repasting) + thermal pads at some point… The card is now ~5 years old, and if the paste goes bad that would be end of it. The dust that all boards accumulate overtime is also a risk factor of how long components last.

Radeon RX 580 until the VRAM dies to the idle @50°C temps or the support is removed from the kernel…

More likely a group of neurons, and they fight the rest of the network to try get more basil. And within single cell that shit is hard-coded into the genome.

The video link 100% cognitohazard. DO NOT CLICK.

The video link was surprisingly SFW. My expectation was piercing a nail through my skull make me UwU.

Me:

• Need to debug a program
• Debugger doesn’t work
• Need to debug the debugger
• …
• Look at a hardware bug in the CPU that breaks ptrace syscall /s
• Go find a bucket of sand.

Now, without looking at google, try put that in a longer English sentence without sounding like yoda …

“Sen jälkeen monimutkaisimmatkaan sanat eivät ole lopulta vaikeita.”

I barely passed with my rally english in upper secondary school. When your native language’s single word gets split into an entire goddamn sentence in English, I can’t help it.

Try translate: “monimutkaisimmatkaan” from Finnish into English. Result is 5 words long.

It gets more cursed the more you look at it:

• you have to convert the coordinate axes (swap z,x,y)
• then you find out the right/left handed is flipped
• now your brain melts if you even try think how to solve this with transformation/rotation, what ever.
