Isn't it awesome when someone's "bugfix" causes new bugs which prompt "bugfixes" for the bugfixes in the same merge request?5

Urgh, I can't get going on Mondays. Even in a calm environment and with a really nice project I can't get focused on my task.
What's wrong with me?11 -
New Job new me.
Looks like it's pure chaos. Randomly turning on aws features until things work. Lots of money down the drain.
Oh well. It's a job.9 -
I just bought some new device that has AA bateries included, already inserted, and obviously, already leaking.

I decided to buy a rack + PC case and a new HDD. Since I wasn't expecting to need to change the HDD for years, I put it on the mount that has the screws in an annoying place. Guess which drive is dead on arrival -_- I'll have to remove the whole box from the rack I think to get to it
I'm happy with the new setup when it's running, but the constant issues are annoying (mainly pains of fresh linux setup or having to wait on parts and things to arrive on time)5 -
Ths is a rant:
My client codebase is a mess:
- Node version is not set, but it is "told to set it up at X version". They don't want to set it fixed because, and I quote, "it is too much of a nuisance.
- Backend has not a single fucking log, beside the mandatory error in the catch of each controller, and it states "error": error.
- Backend again: why the fuck you want typescript if all the fucking codebase uses 'any'. But the orm is sequelized and it is typed... by zod classes that are only there to check the body on the endpoints.
- Frontend is a gargantuan piece of shit with one.big state with all fucking stucl there cause someone started to do that and they just keep the snowball... touching one of the utterly big and bloated compoments its in itself an act of faith. The thing is so clusterfuck that we have some api calls duplicated like 3 or 5 times...
I feel like my dev brain is being rotten each day a bit more...3 -

Do any of you here have a relation to Firefox?
I posted a rant like 9 months ago about a VERY small specific bug in Firefox.
And since the last update, it's fixed lol.
The bug was:
When in Firefox and pressing WIN + F11, Firefox went into full-screen mode (probably just checked F11 without the WIN modifier).
Now it does not lol. Well, win for me, win for Firefox, and feels great.
(I have a custom global shortcut for WIN + F11.)4 -
An other week without a backend, an other week closer to the deadline... Less than 2 months to go (excl 2 weeks of PTO :D)2

Updates on my current resignation situation: 55 days are over, 35 days remaining. i haven't got a single interview call(yes not even an hr call!?!) since I put open to work on linkedin. I am thinking of rescinding my resignation
Here are some points about my current org, help me decide:
1. Physical
+ 3days wfo, 34km away from home (the next silicon valley area is around 500km far, in another state)
- 2hrs of commute from home, no energy left after work time is over
2. Tech
+ We are using very latest tech in softwares, the leaders are pushing for us to learn AI as well.
- there aren't much people with in depth knowledge, its like enough monkeys with typewriters will produce a shakespeare somehow
3. People and culture:
+ People are very energetic, vocal and fast paced
+ Work is done under ever "improving"(changing) ruleset, with discipline and in a process oriented manner
+ I have been here for almost 3 years, so have a decent professional relationship with team
- rules are made and applied according to convenience. People playing good games seems to work around these rules
- unrealistic deadlines and over work
- Too much pressure to "outshine" and "go over and above" to even expect a basic appreciation
- non respctful, shouting culture, people are not really friends but rather playing the "survival of the fittest, loudest and most aggresive" game
4. Brand
+ Company's name is reputable, its known for rarely ever doing layoffs and people have a sense of security
+ My salary is decent, marketworthy for the role that I am in (SE1)
- with 5+ yoe, both my role and salary is not as per market standards (should be atleast SE2)5 -
@ostream see DM's on Snek, I delivered. Enable Snek notification system! It's almost not annoying!5

Paying for youtube premium and then almost every author these days has his own freaking ads in their videos. What the fuck is this for shit. Fuck off. Greedy fuckers. Degenerates.
It's also always for products that they don't use for sure while many times claiming they do. Talking about sophisticated shit and then "Here's incogni". Wraaaahh. You know it won't help fucker. You know it you know it you know it.16 -

Soo.. I bought a Transcend SSD and I wanted to make a backup of my _current_ backup ssd.
Bought it, plugged it up and fired up rsync. Although Transcend declares the SSD seq writes are up to >1G/s, it was at least x10 slower than that. Eventually all was copied. Wat surprised me was the disk usage.
Here are both the filesystems: the source and the destination (Transcend)
P.S. damn, imags are down.. attaching plaintext
```
