And despite security recommendations, too many IT depts still force password resets every 90 days…

It could be for contractual or for insurance reasons. We have some contracts with government agencies that require it, and our cyberinsurance also does. Even though NIST has been recommending for years to do long passphrase + MFA and no reset unless you suspect compromise.

So yeah, the reason behind this might not be just plain incompetence.

This is why I got all of our devs to start building with the target of a Docker container in mind.

And for the ones who still won’t or can’t wrap their brains around Docker, I run their shit through a Github Actions workflow that spits out their ugly baby as a Docker container. In the end, I don’t give a shit what it is, your Rube-Goldberg piece of shit is getting stuffed into a Docker container.

“It works on my machine!” Yeah, well, your machine is now everyone’s machine thanks to the magic of containers. Now fix your broken shit so PagerDuty doesn’t call me at 3am again. Fuck.

Never going to happen, same for Excel.

Whatever future iteration of ChatGPT that eventually enslaves the human race will be using Outlook and Excel to keep track of the genocide.

I’ve been doing -fr like forever. Don’t know why

BURN THE HERETIC

It’s so rare for me to have to use the modulo operator I’m actually excited when I come across a situation where I can.

Man, this comment made me feel a little embarrassed at myself. I saw the shortcuts and thought about how I have a tradition of going to the top of the file when I’m done editing and about to save/quit. I always hit the shortcut for it and think “gg boys! Good game” and then quit out of vim.

Stop judging me.

That’s exactly why we need to give them the boot.

Hard disagree. If you’re running something business-critical, the support that you get with a RHEL license {or any other vendor, for that matter) is worth its weight in gold.

If you can’t fix something, you don’t want to be looking for solutions by sifting through forum posts directed at home users when the business is losing thousands of dollars per hour. That’s what the license is for, and that’s what you pay for.

docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)

…until you have a single extra space character hiding 20 lines into your compose file and the whole thing falls over the next time you try to bring the containers up.

Lint your code and configs every time!

Why can’t it be both?

The existence of Javascript and Groovy is strong evidence that God has abandoned his creation.
