When I was a kid, I used Dreamweaver and my mother would watch me doing things and she used to say "Oh, my dear there are lots of icons and buttons!!! How do you manage that? How do you know which one is for what purpose? You are really brilliant."
And now I use Atom IDE and she says "This looks very easy. Technology has evolved so much that you don't have to click so many buttons and just write simple lines, just as simple as writing letters and the software does the rest of the things. These softwares have done a brilliant job."
Seriously the technology has changed (and my mother too) !!!13 -
This is not a rant, but I just wanted to share some good news! My brother and I have launched an app called Programmer’s Music. It contains our favourite music tracks and tracks suggested by some of our developer/creative colleagues. It’s for listening to music while coding. We have also integrated Pomodoro time management method in it. It’s ad-free and FREE. :) Please check out the app at https://promusic.tech/2mJrw8A. Feel free to leave an honest feedback.
Please feel free to leave us a message with your favourite tracks and we will add them. Please share it, follow on Twitter and/or like our Facebook page. Thank you so much!
Thank you, everyone.
PS.- Atom editor fans would ❤ it.

Client had a rule that the backup must finish successfully. I saw a bunch of empty backups in the green for the stuff our company was responsible for back then. I saw that the nfs folders got copied over empty as the folders were not mounted. Me: "You ppl do not have your databases backed up." Client :"Sure we do, look at the backup job status. It's all green." Me: "It's also 0MB in size." Client: " Must be good compression."
Me: "That must be it."11 -
I got called for a meeting with a nice lady recruiter.
She goes about saying I'd be working for a top innovative firm in that part of the country.
I call out the name of that firm.
She goes yes, indeed. She thought I got excited for the presented opporunity.
I go "No way, you may keep this gig."
She goes: "But why?"
I tell her how they called my firm to present them with a possible open source solution for their problem only to take it and not involving us in the process. They do this a lot to others aswell when they run out of fresh ideas. Nobody who ever went there before on a meeting ever wants to meet with them again. This is not even the main reason for not wanting to go there.
Then she spills that only the recruiter who gets the cheapest labour gets paid.
I tell her to never call me again and leave.
From that point on I first interview the recruiter that calls me to see if I even want to hear about what they have to say.8 -
Just got off the phone. I've been chatting with another Microsoft HQ representative that was kind enough to call and help me.
She asked if I got a computer.. then to please turn it on.
It booted up, I logged in and followed instructions. Win+R did nothing, so the boss came on to help out.
After trying to make me install teamviewer I told him "enough".
"What is the matter, sir?"
"We can stop now. I'm not letting you in. Besides, I'm a linux user."
"What is wrong with you? I am trying to help you for an hour and now you tell me you're a linux user? What is wrong with you?"
Me: Well you're the one trying to hack me, so...
Him: "Oh, shut up."
The end. 🤷♂️10 -
Intel's new CPUs are faster, so your text editor can be based on a slower version of chrome, with a even slower bloated JavaScript framework. Congratulations!7

Hilariously cool error.
I mean, not everyday your editor tells you to meditate or sing you a bob Dylan’s song, right?
That’s a nice touch atom.

Me and my buddy sysadmin wondered how to get the fastest response from a client that was otherwise slow to respond over email. We needed to test their new email server.
So... we figured, hey... sars is spreading globally, let's use that.
The email went like "Critical warning! Your computer got infected with sars. Contact your sysadmins immediately.'
...
...
...
...
So she did. Success! Email server working fine. Tested in less then 5min, some sort of a record.
ROTFL trying to keep a straight voice over the phone with tears in our eyes.
Priceless experience for all involved. Interestingly, the client was cool enough to accept this as a harmless prank. Thank god for that. -
When you try to learn vim to change from the memory hog Atom and you start to get the hang of it 🙌💯39

Atom please!
Why does it have to be so slow? It's so pretty though. Mesmerizing even and I can never go back to sublime now.
The lag and crashes is killing me slowly, like a hot girlfriend that is somewhat crazy..29 -
I found a new hobby: coding in many text editors (or IDEs) at the same time, because "I want to find out which one is better" (I don't know why I'm actually doing this, but I can't stop)
Wait, it's not a new hobby ... I already did this with C++ with using atom and Visual Studio at the same time, then I installed Clion too and VS and Clion were both running along with atom ...31 -

In other news, I successfully completed the E-Commerce App I was working on, even though that Stripe Verification was a ball ache and the bane of the entire project giving me a stupid bug in jQuery whereby it was infinite looping over adding the token and not actually submitting the card charge. Somehow changing my button from using an id to using a class fixed my problem :/ (# -> .)

Playing around with Atom and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Might keep using it and see if it becomes my new favorite code editor :)

Many years ago I brought a new server with latest SLES linux installed to a customer. Back then you needed to write your own X11 configuration. So while writing it for the customer's monitor, one of the PhDs approached me saying "Oh my god! We're in the 21 century, and you just brought in a computer that opens a terminal prompt?! - We used to work like this 20 years ago. Why don't you take it back and bring us something modern to work with?"2

Been using Atom for the longest while and recently switched to VS Code. I was not expecting to say this but I actually love it.2

So i started using atom text editor like a month ago. After finding out i can install packages and going on a spree.... I may have broke it. You know you are in for a pickle if the editor starts with more errors than windows vista.

i noticed recently a post about putting a browser inside the IDE / Editor.
i was against it, it didn't make sense, but holy fuck is it beautiful and productive to have a tab with a browser inside of it.

WHY Atom, when I explicitly select a suggestion do you NOT ACTUALLY AUTOCOMPLETE THE SUGGESTION ?
I have configured so many fucking settings to try to avoid this why is it that I have to explicitly select my option 3 and 4 times before you ACTUALLY auto fill it.
I use you specifically FOR the auto complete function and you FUCK ME OVER ON IT.
I can just not seem to find a text editor or IDE that doesn't annoy the shit out of me one way or the other7 -
I just spent 2 hours customizing Atom and didn't get any work done.
No sleep for me today I guess...2 -
The problem I have with atom, vscode, sublime, and notepad++ is that none are available on the command line over SSH, inside tmux. And that's where I do the vast majority of my text editing.
The first text editor I used on the command line was pico, the technological successor of which is nano. I used it because when I was in college in the late '90s, we used pine for our email, and pico was the default editor for pine.
When I got my first job out of college in 2000, I found out about vi, and very quickly fell in love with it, and its technological successor: vim.
The only reason I've never gotten into emacs is because I've never wanted for more than vi/vim. And also because as a system administrator, I'm logging into dozens, of not hundreds of servers a day. While vi or vim is guaranteed to be on all of them, emacs is not.
So, for me, the use of a desktop text editor like the ones I mentioned at the beginning of this post, just doesn't make sense to me. I almost never edit files that live on the computer where I'm sitting, and I'm not interested in doing a commit/push every single time I want to rerun a script.20 -
Do you think I should give Atom another shot or stick with VSCode?
I've tried it several times but I always found it sluggish, slow in everything and bugged. VSCode is so much smoother and fast.
But damn Atom is so much more good looking, especially with nebula theme.
It's like choosing between the nice, decent-looking guy and the rude but definitely good looking fuckboy chad11 -
I am done explaining myself to incompetent people. If you don't have a clue as to what is affected if I change an ip address of a server vs changing hostname I don't want to speak to you. I gave it a shot explaining it, but then the email gets too long and you loose focus. This is not my problem. I've spent years decoding long explanations and descriptions so I can give a short version to you. If you can't follow a page long email, too bad for you. IDGAF!3

I decided to work with #atom lately, and I made a fresh install on a VM to test some packages outside my real dev machine.
Just occurred to me that "by #GitHub" now means by #microsoft... So MS now really controls the IDE market from any possible angle.

Atom packages be like, "You can easily access me with a shortcut by holding shift + alt + ctrl + a + b + c while rapidly hitting up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a and b."5

Mfw you try out Atom and it crashes the moment you open anything even slightly big. Then you try to close it out and reopen it but it decides it should start off right where you left it-suspended in time... doing absolutely nothing.
On another note, it looks beautiful, has many extensions, and is highly customizable but it gets bogged down so quickly.9 -
I like talking about linux and about why it matters that stuff stays or sometimes becomes open source.
I find it very important to cradle and nurish the platform that we can all learn from and have a chance to contribute. Some of us make a living just using it on a daily basis.
I also feel very passionate about my belief that it is a suitable and affordable alternative to other desktops for people with lower income. Nobody should be left behind on this road to digitalization. Old people especially. But most generation-gap-bridging organizations I know keep feeding this ms sugar down their throats as if it was gold.
I feel I should in some way act on that.4 -

I recently realized that I've been using 2 text editors and 1 IDE pretty much at the same time for different purposes.
Atom -> Code Beautification (atom-beautify is simply the best)
VSCode -> for actual coding (blazing fast and quite good completions)
Webstorm -> cleanup the code, optimize imports
And that made me thing why is it so hard to have all these things in one application (be it a core feature or a plugin/extension). And then I realized smth, only webstorm more has all the features built in, but I don't need/want full IDE for web development (Angular / React) alas it has great features like component automatic imports etc, but not a deal breaker.
So I am having a dilllema. On one hand, Atom has everything I need (especially atom-beautify, my OCD is at peace) except for proper completions (partially solved with extensions) and terminal integrations. On the other hand, VSCode is very fast, has good code assistance but half-broken import completions and terrible code beautification even with extensions such as jsbeautify that require you to have a separate file for each project instead of it being an editor setting/plugin like in Atom.
/* insert joke here */ When will Atom and VSCode go super Saiyan mode and become "Atomized Visual Code" :P I wanna stop bunny hopping between editors!2 -

!dev Story time.
As a sysasmin I had a client that wanted to skip some license fees and grow its infrastructure from an MS server bundle to standard.
Sales were all too happy to oblige, not giving a thought to what I said. Client said it should work, so client is always right.
Turns out they were running their bundle on a half broken server. Not much life left in there. Backup was made by pulling out a drive from mirror array.
It took hours to prepare for migration to a new server. Once it was all done, it did not work after the first restart. Needless to say that we proved that it was time to pay for the split. However I still needed to put that backup back to production state. Once I plugged in the backup disk it got some weird scsi id number - far away from the others in a 5hdd hot-plug case. As all hdds were the same and the interface did not show serials it was time to gamble. Mind that it was 2am at the time. So I did. My coleague went out to grasp some air. We did not say anything to the local sysadmin at the time. He told us another backup was done previously. Ok.. so I chose the source and the destination based on my logic at the moment. Chose to overwrite and went out for some air.
2hrs passed, time to find out if we killed the comany or not. Turns out I made the right choice.
That was my craziest 24hrs+ to date.1 -
I just uninstalled vscode and im installing atom. Why does it have to be so hard to uninstall stuff!?

Fuck this I need to ventilate.
Thinking about job change because maintaining and extending 3 years old codebase (flask project) is FUCKIN exhausting. It was badly written since start by someone who obviously didn't know much about python. (Going by commit history.)
Examples:
- if var != None / if var == None
- if var is not None / if var is None (well..)
- Returning self-parsed obscure JSONs from dict variable
- Serializing dictionaries into database by str() (both sqlalchemy and mysql support JSON format) - THEY ARE ALMOST UNUSABLE OTHER WAY AROUND (luckily, python can deal even with that)
- celery tasks, the way they are called they BLOCK the whole flask (not bad in itself, but if connection breaks there are no errors, nothing it just hangs)
- obscure generator/yielding that contains return of flask's response in itself
- creating fifteen thousands of variables one by one where they would look so nicely as dict keys, and hey they are then both MANUALLY SERIALIZED into returning dict by "%s" (string formatting) [okey, some of them are objecst like datetime but MATE WTF]
- many, many more, PEP lint shall not pass
I would rather deal with fresh startup owners wanting me to program unicorns in one week then trying to extend and manage zombie-like projects.
Nothing personal against the firm I actually like the place.3 -

There was this annoying prick once at work looong time ago. He always came boasting into our office telling what we should do and how. Not a manager, a sales person.
One day I got that mf back. I ran a script to periodically kill his word and excel processes. That day I got plenty done. He had a bad day of MS Office not working right - no time to come to our office all day long.
Stopped it after that - wouldn't want to get caught.6 -

Today I totally immersed into a challenging bash script I was planning to write. It totally took me in for 3hrs.

Everytime I am developing an API (from scratch, not when extending an old one) I try to return 418 HTTP error code in places that aren't yet developed or mainly when something that shouldn't have happened did actually happened. (example: failed non-essential assert, yes python)
So it's always lighter on lungs seeing people running around with wtf.png faces when their browser says "I AM A TEAPOT".2 -
Prepare for a long one.
There was this time when I worked for a company that made some patented proprietary software along with a device that measures some part of the body. Nevermind what exactly.
Then there was this major new customer. Bitchy and demanding as they want to deploy their own os/licenses onto the embedded computer aboard the device. I've told them that's not the way we do it as there's some proprietary software and technics involved that is of no concern to the client. They insisted, called the CEO, he then told me to make sure the customer is happy.
I go OK. I present the software, scripts to use to run the whole thing.. the works. Customer wants to run its own client software on the side, proposing they buy better embeded machines on their own - they want to use that instead of the desktop /imagine a nurse using an mri machine as her desktop if you will/.
I then call back the CEO and explain what's happening. I ask how far along this nonsense do we go.
After a word with CTO he demands I take back the software and explain why I exposed everything.
I "took" back the software /as if that is possible/ and made it work as it was supposed to, locking their sysadmin out. Then proposed I take the fall as though I did not understand the policy, so the client can save face and we get the deal.
Problem is, someone else should then proceed working with the client. They accuse me /as proposed/ but then have me clean the mess up. Client still bitching about adding devices to ad is their policy. Yeah.. like the fucking Tesla he rides is also joint to AD.
I quit that job soon after. This was not the only situation that blew my fuse there.2 -
My 2020 was great because I've found a good gig for work. I feel very helpful and productive. A little like the pest control of problems on linux systems. Oh, and the office was quieter because of covid19.
My 2020 was awful because it is hard and unfair that I yell "Quiet!" on my kids when I wfh.
Still I feel having "1st world" problems is unimaginable better then searching for drinkable water and food while watching kids starve. I feel grateful, humble and glad for the life I have.

SO: ticks tls1.2 on an email setting.
Me: what good does that do if port 25 still accepts plain text? (I do know how auth works on email server - tls1.2 comes in handy)
SO: we do not accept non-secure emails.
Me: sure we do. It's the standard.
SO: can't be. We use tls1.2.

Me: well, at least we use tls1.2, right. ;-)1 -
What might replace email in the future?
Email is a very old concept based on a legacy technology and rules. It used to be some tech for g33ks, then it became all serious and all business. People who did not uderstand its flaws adopted it as standard and that was just idiotic back then. Now sysadmins are working hard to make it more secure. I don't care bout tls implementation as every email server has those messages stored in clear text, as encryption is not a default. Most people still find it secure. Just dumb.24 -

So after trying to actually work using vim I noticed I am far more productive using atom, so I gave VS Code a chance... Wow, it's like having atom but only consuming 80mbs tops.

Long time ago...
I've been migrating users to new Exchange server along with the whole AD domain and such.
I knew that most of the ppl there were out in the field working. I needed to confirm that email is working after switching MX record. The person who was in the office for sure was kind of reluctant to reply fast to my emails.
So I've written an email that stated:
"Dear user,
Your computer is infected with a <whatever the latest globally spreading threat to humans was back then>. Please contact your admin as soon as possible."
Guess what... I've received a call in record time. I did my best to explain the email to the customer while trying not to burst in tears laughing.

How do you approach generating "random" unique numbers/strings ? Exactly, when you have to be sure the generated stuff is unique overtime? Eg. as few collisions in future as possible.
Now I don't mean UUIDs but when there is a functionality that needs some length defined, symbol specific and definitely unique data, every time it does it's stuff.
TLDR STORY: Generating 8 digits long numbers so they are (deterministically - wink wink) unique is hard but Format Preserving Encryption saves the day. (for me)
FULL STORY:
I had to deal with both strings and codes today.
One was to generate shortlink word for url, luckily found a library that does exactly this. (Hashids)
BUT generating 8 digits long, somewhat random number was harder then I thought, found out on SO something like "sha256(seed) => bytes => ascii/numbers mangling" but that had a lot of collisions because of how the hash got mangled to actually output numbers and also to fit the length.
After some hours I stumbled upon Format Preserving encryption (pyffx) and man it did what I wanted and it had max 2 collisions in 100k values. Still the solution with this feels hacky af. (encrypting straddled unix timestamp with lots of decimals)6 -
So there is this project of my firm that is comepletly dependant on Facebook api, I've actually told it many times to managers at first but they've just waved their hands over it.
Now what didn't happen. Facebook data leak and the api being taking down ..juust a week before the project going public.
Our app is still not reviewed and not able to access the so vital api and there are actually many similar projects getting published (even Facebook Local greatly rivals to our app, actually killing it because they have native data... And we don't have any. )
I told them again. "Nah we will have this and this feature that makes it soo exceptionall."
And you are sitting here thinking if the salary you have asked for is still good enough to stay or to run away.
(Well, I am still getting some coding experience from this so that's why I stay, and oh yeah I have the backend repo only for myslef because except the frontend dev no managers knows what git is. This is how freedom feels. )2 -
What the fuck is going on with atom in my desktop?!!?!?
Everytime I open it it starts comparing every single file on my pc with my github. It starts using 99% of my memory and fuck is it frustrating. I decided to just learn vim, which is cool, although I still miss managing windows with the mouse, and probably will try VS sometime in the future. I really wanted to like atom but I can't stand how slow it is compared to vim right now, even when the github shit doesn't happen.16 -
Fuck everyone that take their time to go stress out the sysadmin for every fucking time some shitty conference type piece of shit vomits.
Most times it's just the fact that their notebook received 100+ updates and they avoided a reboot each time it was offered.
Fuck you... I am writing a policy to force reboots after you fuckers decline it the third time. You're fucking welcome.6 -
Flask people
so I was given this old flask project, around 3k lines written in py2, the code is simply old and not refactored. So, it's pile of shit. Migrations completely botched as the original author created reference to live data in models.
Very strict line formatting resulting in backslashed ternary conditions.
Even saw manually formatted json responses... _line by line_.
My job is to clean this mess and eventually do as much as possible to freshen the whole project.
Currently just refucktoring the code as it's the only easy thing to do out of everything that could be done (it's still slow process).
Any tricks and tips? currently considering to try upgrading it to py3 but it feels like throwing gunpowder into already burning house.3 -
Parents bought me a computer. It was very expensive. No sw included. No sw ever bought as they did not understand what that is. Later on as I was exchanging stuff with others, they forbid me to give away sw. It's not as if they bought it. Those "piracy" days are long gone. Now I buy what I need. I mostly run linux, as I refuse some half made expensive suit to cause me headache. Oh, my parents are also running linux. We do not want to give or take something, right. Very gratefull for that comp. It ran os/2 (I even bought that one) very well and it hosted my bbs for a few years before the internet came along. A great foundation for becoming a sysadmin.

Best thing about Atom:
Restarting after each plugin update and writing for hundreds of plugins to load every time.2 -
I decided to make some new icons for Atom editor (the launcher/executable ones), because I liked the vscode-icons project.
Made the repo on GitHub and decided to automate making the icons for different OS using Travis CI.
Started writing the Python Script for Travis.
My google queries:
How to generate icons for Linux?
I can use SVG or generate a PNG, many libraries available. 👍👍
How to generate icons for Windows?
Generate PNGs of various sizes and pack in an .ico file. Easy enough
So far so good.
How to generate icons for Mac?
Mac needs a .icns file, a package of PNGs of various sizes. Libraries available but can be done on OSX only. 😫😫
Then I think, what OS does Travis use?
Oh, I can specify macOS in it 😁😁😁
Starts the build 😎😎
Travis doesn't support Python on macOS
😑😑😑😑 -

Has it ever happened to you that you got stuck with a task or a project nobody wants. You know its doable but you hate working on it. Then you do it, even excell doing it and while you still hate it, it just sticks. Nothing has changed - nobody else wants it and you are the expert now. From then on you hate your job, but you're great at it.
What do you do.3 -

I've used os/2 back in the day and it had program categories where all the software was neatly put into menus.
Unix used the same and if I am not mistaken, Mac too. And so does linux.
How come Windows doesn't categorize that programs list? Is there at least some well known app that does it for you?
I sometimes forget who the vendor of a program is or what it's called. I would find it much quicker if it was inside a specific category menu entry.
Am I the only one who finds this unsettling?8 -
i cant understand some people
Why use atom for python development while we have pycharm?
is it about price?
community edition is free and 100 times better than atom.

Used to work for a company that offered outsourcing services to clients. One time a sales person passed me a description of what is to be done as: "copy some data from old to these two new servers". He charged pocket change for that task. Told me what servers to bring along.
When I get there, the IT person in charge told me to migrate two separate Active Directory servers to new machines.
Generally it's all just moving some data around. Though AD migration is a pretty easy task once you know how to do, I still take it as undermining the value of skills required to do it. -
Legend says there is an Atom installation where the "Open empty editor at start" option actually works.
I don't know why but it never worked for me. First the editor always opened a specific file I hadn't edited for days, now it always restores the previous session and opens TWO fucking tabs with the welcome page.
Back to Vim.7 -
For me, programming is translating and transforming a human expectation of how a computer can help, into a code. I am no coder per say, but I can "tell" a computer what to do far more successfully then I can a fellow human.8

I always type the "" together on my phone before putting text into it. Because all the text editors make two of them first and then you put a string into it.2

In continuation to my previous rant, after resetting BIOS, windows server installed successfully. However, it was running extremely slow, Hmph, turns out I had forgotten what a nas server was: an1.3Ghz intel atom - wait for it - single core cpu. I'm upgrading when I get the chance.

Dear Atom,
I'm sorry, but it's time. I know that we had many great times together, but I will be switching to Visual Studio soon. It's not your fault, you can blame Microsoft if you want. It's just that Visual Studio will have better git integration. And the fact that you will probably be cancelled. I hope you the best. Make the best out of the little time you still have.
Sincerely,
TomW1 -

Hey, javascript people, got a question.
Is there any way to disable sites binding the mousewheel (scrolling) event ? Like for example rebinding it to scroll down at the end of window load ? (tamper/greasemonkey)
I am getting furious with all these sites where they will block the whole site to make you agree cookies & gdpr shit.
Removing the foreground/blocking element is sometimes enough but often the remaining site can't be scrolled.
EDIT: Found out you can add links of script that does this to AdBlock:) For example movieinsider has it's "gdpr, cookies & shit" script at the top of head element. Add it and voilá.6 -

I quite enjoy finding some documentation from folks who have been working here before me. I hate searching for it though.
Found some in onenote, some scattered and quadrupled over several files across many shares. It's like the norm, right.
Today I found a bunch of documentation inside keepass entries. What the fuck comes next? I swear I'll start putting documentation inside dns txt records if I find any more sick places that people put valid documentation into.3 -

Just dropping some current experience here.
Content security policies are big mess in both chrome and firefox.
Chrome has some 4 years old "bug" where you can't add hash of JS file to 'style-src' policy to permit inline-styles THAT would be set by this script (jQuery actually).
Firefox is beautifully unhelpful, it just pops of error "blocked ..something..", not even saying what it was.
EDIT:
And I am missing a pair of some steel balls to ask about this on SO because there is this much of very similar questions, nonetheless -if I did read them right- every one of them is talking about enabling style attribute, and that's something different.
EDIT2: Chrome currently generates 138 errors "jquery-3.4.0.min.js:2 Refused to apply inline style..." , this ain't hitting production.10 -
Spent 4 hours debugging a script. Running the commands manually in cli worked fine but not when run as a web service. I've done similar things before so I was confident it should work. I tried literary everything I was going crazy. Turns out that Atom added some garbage characters only visible in other editors.. And this was not the first time! Fml..

GDPR:
My Pokemon Go account, wired to my gmail got banned. (My fault, I am programmer and lazy person, my inner nature is to automate things. )
So if I go by GDPR I can tell them to delete my account and register with same mail again?
In this example I'll obviously lose the progress but the account can be reused and with some services this could lead to more interesting outcomes.3 -

So I just got an email from Github, saying they created a new package for Atom called Teletype.
I quote: "Teletype (beta) for Atom lets developers share their workspace with team members and collaborate on code in real time."
Wondering what the devRant community thinks about this new feature!
https://teletype.atom.io/1 -
Hearing a lot about Microsoft trying to acquire Github here on devRant.
Made me think, if this happens what will happen to atom?
Development will likely continue but then you would have two electron based, open source code editors both by Microsoft and Github. Probably not that much different from now, but still feels awkward...
Any thoughts? I love both editors and use them near daily. I just hope Atom was more performant and as actively developed as vscode.10 -

Avoid burnouts, stay curious.
All is fine when you push yourself to the limit when you're starting out. You don't feel it comming. It hits like a train. As if there's a switch that makes you phisicaly hate the job from various angles. Mind keeps thinking of new aspects of dislike.
Avoid this and you're a winner. -
I just woke up from a nightmare. It was a typo:

I see people working with Atom. I assume none of them are dealing with even moderately large files. Codepen has better performance.6
-
So I'd like to see some opinions on different editors and IDEs.
I personally use Atom, and I really dig all the functionality and packages it has available. What do you use and why? Hear a lot of suggestions for VSCode and the like... and it looks cool but does it do anything Atom can't? They all seem fairly similar to me in the long run if you take the time to set them up the way you like.14 -
Well this changes with time and types of projects but for now my favourite is atom especially with Babel for writing JSX for React

How does one secure data-in-transit when using NFS. Even v4 does not support data encryption per say. TLS is used almost everywhere else. I refuse to use samba. There's sshfs, glusterfs, but that's not quite the same. I could use wireguard, but this seems like an overcomplication. How come this function got left behind?
Is there some great alternative that I've missed? Don't go stunnel on me.3 -
You know how you get hired to solve some serious issue and solve it in time, but then get blamed for every fucking thing that is wrong and stuff not even related to the project?
Fucking kill yourself if a thought regarding busting my balls so you get free advice/solution to your problem crosses your mind.
I have helped a lot free of charge. Sometimes I check some new thing out to form an opinion/get experience. But I won't do it anymore for ppl that clearly want to manipulate me and/or are not nice while doing so. It used to work when I was a noob, frightened of my own shadow thinking I might have caused problems while solving something else. Not anymore.3 -
Have you heard of the Sysadmin from hell?
I am now convinced that dictatorship based on merit is the only way to achieve stability. One learns to say no or to just ignore stupid ideas.

So I'm currently having a love/hate relationship with Atom... I love that it only has what I want and nothing more, but I hate that it lacks a lot of basic features like automatically adding the closing tags to my html, and the only beautifying package I can find defaults to two spaces instead of my usual 4 and I can't find how to change it.
Does anyone know how to change the spacing on the beautify package? And does anyone know a package that will auto close my html tags?7 -
Not a rant, just wondering.
What's your favorite editor (not IDE) out there?
- Atom
- Sublime Text
- Visual Studio Code
- Notepad++
...
- nano
- Other (name it)
I'm trying Atom Editor, I've been a fan of Sublime Text for a couple of years. Tried VS Code, not a chance. Any suggestions?27 -
That moment when you save a file in atom and ie starts up with console open, a paused atom screenshot and an error message :/

So I just changed from SublimeText to Atom and so far it's pretty neat. What do you guys think about Atom?23

I actually like my job. Lately I get annoyed by various automated notifications and alerts beeing sent to multiple distribution groups. Nobody wants to listen and set up mailboxes that one can be subscribed to. Nooo.. let's not be effective and spend 1h a day sorting out useless crap. Most of it could easily just be kept in log files. I am realy sick of it. We are all complaining about it too. It's just crazy ridiculous.2

Samba has proven to be a dance on linux aswell as in real life.
Recommended AD authentication for samba goes like winbind, winbind, winbind, sssd, sssd, winbind,...

But this samba rythm goes more like cha-cha-cha.1 -
Is it wrong to think that having 9 sets of clustered application servers is an overkill. And what is up with mssql dba requesting 100+ ips for multiple instances of mssql standard clustered databases (all ips to be used on 2 virtual servers). No, not talking about docker instances here... these are no microservices. Monitoring is on the nice to have list. No space left for backups. I am properly scared.1

So one of my first rants was about me unable to setup Debian with (lightdm) Cinnamon to be working with optimus laptop and to make the damn hdmi port work, where the port is attached to the nvidia gpu (vga passthrough?)
I have to try it with another distro because the dual-booted Windows greatly feeds my procrastination. (Like ... Factorio, Stellaris, Rimworld and etc. type of procrastination, it's getting somewhat severe. )
So what would you people of devrant recommend me to try? I am thinking a lot about Arch but I am afraid there will be a lot more problems with the lenovo drivers for various things.
The next one is classical Ubuntu, at the end this distro looks like it's at least trying to work amongst other distro's.
Also thought about Fedora because yum and RedHat. ( ..lol )
Thx ppl.3 -
Nix vs. Win
Dual boot vs. virtualization (VirtBox vs Xen)
(TLDR at the end)
- gaming laptop ("when you student but gamer")
- "Nix nono like gaming laptops"
- currently dual boot Win10/Debian
- Debian almost breaking apart
- only xfce because nVidia
- intel-virtual-output^2
- Atheros drivers sometimes freeze whole sys
- MiXeD SoUrCeS
- **Stretch Buster Kali enters the chat**
As you can see after 2 years I have come to the point of redoing everything, wanted to ask any tips on how to setup win and any nix enviroment, win just to play some games and sometimes to reverse win specific CTFs.
Main plan was to have my lovely debian as the only system and run win10 in virtualbox - problem: windows don't like virtuals(?) and it's probably going to be unusable for games.
Also running Kali as separate virtual (why the hell I didn't do that in first place ?)
Xen is the other interesting way but I am not experienced with hypervisors.
TLDR: Would running Win10 as virtual in or alongside(hypervisor) Debian be better/same as having them separated - dual booting?12 -

If someone tries using "multipart/form-data" as only content type for their PUBLIC API ENDPOINTS again I am going to find them and choke them to death.

JSON apis should be standard.

What I hate is dealing with software made for windows, later reimagined on linux/bsd/etc. Now I have a client software that only accepts interactive input. It supports no parameters, takes no variables. Now deploy to 100+ guests.

3rd fucking time in as many years I'm trying to figure out how to set up fucking rubymine yet I can't find shit in those settings menus. I'll be fucked with a spacex rocket if they don't have 19374580123457 options yet I can't find two simple basic fucking things:
1) edit code over SSH on my LAN dev machine
2) run all shit there, rake, specs, migrations, not on my fucking local machine
And It could even get away with just #1 because I don't mind keeping a terminal open, its what I do anyway
I don't give a flying fuck about anything else. I just want the autocomplete because atom's autocomplete sucks ass.
i swear it has every fucking thing you can think of. If you want to have your left ball sucked by a six legged midget while working then this fucking thing must have it. Somewhere buried in some motherfucking menus of options of submenus of plugins of features of sections of main menus.
But right now FUCK YOU once again for making me waste time trying to figure a couple basic features required for working remotely.
I even set up ccleaner just for you, so I can get rid of every fucking trace this shit leaves behind1 -
I'll make an exception today and rant on samba instead of windows.
Fuck you samba for sticking to netbios format while joining AD. And fuck you for trunkating the hostname instead of failing as that trunkated computer object does nothing for making kerberos work.
