First day at CERN: done!
Nothing to rant about :) The place and the people are beautiful, lots of support and it's easy to navigate through things even for very young people like me! Couldn't ask for better stuff.
The welcome event in the Globe of Science and Innovation is already an experience on its own :) so many people to meet and share words with! Later on one of my senior colleagues showed me around the surface datacenter of ATLAS, as well as its control room and a (physically) separate computing testing environment to run simulations and software on to later be deployed at Point 1 (ATLAS). I am stunned, humbled and excited to say the least! More to come soon! Post your curiosities below and I'll gladly answer!15 -
Fuck Unity.
Every single time I try to use Unity to develop my well-along-in-development video game, it finds some way of fucking itself up.
Be it from somehow failing to compile a DLL - which is something completely out of my control, the inspector failing to update itself when I select a new object every five minutes, to the engine managing to fail to load its UI layout because it somehow managed to lose a file responsible for containing the layout, the Inspector forgetting to include a scrollbar and as such trying to cram a bunch of components into one area, crashing in a certain area because I tried using reflections, crashing because I tried running the game in a place that always works, all the way to the whole thing closing instantaneously when I try selecting a new layout.
My experience with using this god-forsaken configuration of code and imagery has been one of endless torment; I've spent hours lamenting about the pain this piece of utter horseshit has caused me to those who'd listen.
I don't know what I did to this thing to deserve to be shown the absolute worst of this engine for the year I've been working on my game for. I can't even take a look at its source code to see if I can piece together things I'll pick up from alien code to fix obnoxious bugs myself because you cunts have it under lock-and-key for some dumbass reason.
Even updating my install of this engine is a gamble; I remember clear-as-day updating my project from 2019.3.14 to whichever one was most recent at the time, and everything breaking. This time, I got lucky and managed to update to 2020.1.4 with no issue on the surface, except I inadvertently let in a host of other issues that somehow made the editor worse than the older one.
There's little point in even bothering to report a bug because this shit happens so randomly that I could be just working on auto-pilot and the next thing I know Unity's stupid "crash handler" rears its ugly head yet again, or you people are probably too busy adding support for platforms no sane person uses like fucking Chromebooks.
There've been times where it's crashed upwards of three times in the span of 40 minutes of light use.
How is one expected to cough up hundreds of dollars a year to use a "pro" version of this horrid editor when every session of use yields a 50/50 chance that it'll either work like it's supposed to, or break in one way or another?
It's a miracle I even managed to type all of this out in one go, I expected the website to just stop responding entirely once I got past four lines.
Do what you will with my post, I don't care.6 -
College is worse than cancer.
Worse than tumor.
Worse than any (un)imaginable death or torture.
I feel dull.
I feel DUMBED DOWN.
I FEEL DUMBER AFTER 6 YEARS OF COLLEGE COMPARED TO BEFORE STARTING COLLEGE.
6 fucking years of wrecking my healthy brain in college.
Has now became unhealthy and mentally unstable.
I forgot almost EVERYTHING i knew about coding.
Because in a "COMPUTER SCIENCE" college they teach everything BUT coding.
The professors and assistants have no morals.
They are INHUMANE.
Professors are ready to walk across a fucking corpse.
If your mother gets cancer and you are unable to come to class or study, the professors dont give a FUCK, they will drop you down so you have to study for exams again instead of helping your ill mother.
Professors have NO COMPASSION.
NO DIGNITY.
They are just BRAINLESS robots.
Sentients, agents working for the matrix.
They keep reading the same script every year and call that a successful career.
IF PROFESSORS AND ASSISTANTS AT COLLEGE ACTUALLY KNEW TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL IN LIFE, THEY WOULD NOT BE PROFESSORS AND ASSISTANTS FOR THE MAJORITY (OR WHOLE) OF THEIR LIFE.
I gave my maximum effort.
I SACRIFICED MY LIFE FOR SCHOOL.
Just to end up with school spitting on my face.
I feel DUMBED down.
Robotic.
Procedural minded.
As some brainless retard who has to follow orders as if im a 6 year old who doesn't know what to do.
Like a computer.
Because of college - i have no will to live.
Because of college - i no longer have passion for coding.
Because of college - i no longer know what is my purpose in life.
Because of college - i feel like im floating in cosmos, somewhere far deep into the space, without knowing where im going, what im doing, why im doing what im doing...
I feel void inside me.
I also feel vengeance inside me.
SCHOOL HAS RUINED MY LIFE.
It made me mentally insane.
It made me mentally so sick that i had to watch head decapitation gore videos to calm myself down, so i can imagine the victims being murdered are the professors and assistants from my college.
PROFESSORS AND ASSISTANTS HAVE 0 UNDERSTANDING FOR OTHER HUMAN LIFE.
MILLIONS of people have private problems going on in their lives every day.
What if someone cant pass an exam because of private problems that's going on in their life?
What if the student is abused by a family member?
What if the student has ANY non-self destructive negative event happening to them, which they're not at fault, and can not control?
What if the student got cancer and cant study for exams, is he supposed to fail?
What if the student came home and the police knocked on his door and said "sorry for your loss, your whole family just died in car accident" and student falls into depression and cant study for exams, is he supposed to fail???
There are infinite multitude of random events this damned universe can do to a human life.
BUT PROFESSORS AND ASSISTANTS;
DO
NOT
GIVE
A
FUCK.
I feel soulless.
I feel like i signed a contract with the devil when i started college by selling him my soul.
School (when i say school, i also mean college, because its the same fucking shit under a different name) is supposed to represent "education".
Lets talk about it.
What exactly are we being "EDUCATED" in school?
To memorize pdf slides?
Memorize textbook?
Memorize notes?
Memorize formulas?
Memorize memorize memorize???
First of all, all of what we're "studying" is BULLSHIT, second of all MEMORIZING all of this means you're gonna forget 60% of it tomorrow, 80% in the next 2 days and you'll forget 100% of what you "learned" by the 7th day.
SOCIETY TOLD YOU TO MEMORIZE USELESS BULLSHIT AND TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE BEING EDUCATED THAT WAY. YOU MUST BE FUCKING DUMB TO BELIEVE THAT.
If memorizing == education, then i do NOT want to be a part of this "education".
BEFORE starting college i coded many projects.
I self-learned everything.
6 years of college and it taught me LESS THAN ZERO.
NOT EVEN ZERO.
LESS THAN ZERO because i got dumbed down, below the underground, and had to dig myself up on the surface.
I built software for an american real estate agency and sold it for 5 figures.
I built software for 3 people from New York for another 5 figures.
I even got offers to work in local software companies without having a degree.
At internship i was given a task to finish in 2 weeks. I finished it in 3 days. They were shocked and wanted to hire me for further work.
At another internship there was 4 of us working together as a team. At the end company contacted only ME and told me i showed the best results on their list out of ALL the teams and the team members that were with me.
Ever since i had to study for disgusting college i had to stop working.
Because of college, i have no source of income for MONTHS now.
Because of college, i had several mental breakdowns.
---
To all professors and assistants:
I pray that karma ruins your life with lethal outcome, and your kids die of cancer in pain.9 -
[please read my rant, i want attention lol, i am pretty sure you know me ^v^]
My devRant visits have decreased tremendously due to high amounts of school work, but finally I am doing something productive developer stuff!
There is this app that allows you to watch educational videos offline, but that only works in android, but I don't have an android tablet, and I don't want to watch videos in my S8, so I am trying to boot android from usb, stick in my surface pro 6 which i am gonna order soon, download the app there, and watch videos!
I knew OS stuff was complicated but it is way more..... Yeah, complicated than i thought. All those fuzzy words, grub, partition, format, sectors, qemu, etc...
Uhhh
And I have only windows, which is a plus since i can use easy2boot, a godsend utility to make bootable usb with any iso easily (not an ad) , but the minus is that i have limited testing capabilities, forcing me to install virtualbox eith vmeu or whatever that thing is called...
But what I really want to say in this rant which is completely out of control, I'd like to thank the easy2boot support team who was very helpful for me to understand their utility, and a random guy in phoenix os subreddit who told me where to start.
If you read until here thanks! If you have experience booting from usb wih surface, or any windows machine let me know your experience since i want to know more about it, and if i encounter problems, i can look at your comments, thanks!7 -
I don't like how my company keeps looking for bandage solutions instead of technology solutions.
We are a security company and we have an agent. We aren't allowed to drop binaries in customer environment because compliance.
Okay, fair enough. But we still are running powershell and posix sh scripts like nobody's business.
I suggested using embedded Lua or MicroPython or our own DSL or something. But that idea was shot down because embedding Lua or MicroPython could open up attack surface.
But I feel running PowerShell isn't the best idea either because simply having it enabled isn't the best practice.
And can't do our own DSL because of the engineering overhead. Fair enough, I guess.
So, I suggested running embedded C# in our PowerShell scripts so we could have greater control over the virtual patches we ship. And, it was shot down because compliance. I am not even dropping binary. This C# code will be JIT compiled and executed in memory.
So, I suggested going deep into WMI queries, but this was shot down because WMI queries are another attack vector and may not be enabled on the customer end.
We constantly receive feedback from customer regarding how we can build virtual patches that would bypass their local group policies.
So, I am confused now. Maybe its just skill issue for me or maybe its something else. But I am all out of ideas and I don't know what other innovative solution I can offer.3 -

The ground trembled like a nervous intern on espresso shots. One minute, I was monitoring my geothermal Bitcoin miners, humming in harmony with Iceland's most unpredictable volcano. Next? An eruption painted the sky gray with ash, raining destruction like an out-of-control blockchain fork. Power cables flickered out. Servers turned into abstract-art pieces. And my wallet with $460,000 worth of mining revenue fried faster than a motherboard in a tidal wave of lava. I was knee-deep in volcanic mud, clutching the charred wallet, wondering if the universe had a vendetta against renewable energy. For weeks, I’d played geothermal gambler, harnessing Earth’s anger to mine crypto. Now, Mother Nature had countered with a literal power move. My wallet’s backups? Corrupted by ash-clogged drives. My cold storage? Warmer than a freshly erupted fissure. Even the volcanologists on my team shrugged. “We predict lava, not ledger errors,” one said, handing me a business card signed at the edges. “Try these Cyber Constable Intelligence. They’ve fixed crypto in weird places.” Cyber Constable Intelligence phoned on the first ring. Cyber Constable Intelligence saved not just crypto. They demonstrated that even the fury of nature cannot surpass human tenacity. My operation now operates robustly, excavating coins with Earth's anger and a backup generator sufficient to run a small glacier. The volcano? Still grumbling. My wallet? Locked inside a fireproof safe, as irony bites sharper than an Icelandic winter.
If your crypto somehow gets smothered beneath the pyroclastic ash of life, skip the freak-out. Call the Cybers. They'll dig through lava streams until your cash bubbles up to the surface. Just maybe set up your rigs a few miles closer to the crater next time. If you’re facing a similar problem I highly recommend contacting Cyber Constable Intelligence

CRYPTOCURRENCY FRAUD RECOVERY, HACKER FOR HIRE> CONTACT SALVAGE ASSET RECOVERY
It’s strange how one moment everything can feel completely under control, and the next, you're staring at a computer screen, heart racing, with no idea what just went wrong. That’s exactly how I felt a few weeks ago when I made a simple ETH transfer from Ku coin to my Meta Mask wallet. It seemed like a routine transaction, nothing out of the ordinary. But when I checked my Meta Mask after a few minutes, I couldn’t believe my eyes. My ETH was gone. At first, I thought maybe there was a delay. I refreshed the page, checked again, but still, nothing. Panic started to set in. I immediately turned to Ethers can, where I entered my transaction hash, hoping for some clarity. What I found was far worse than I could have imagined: my ETH wasn’t stuck in limbo; it had already been transferred to an address I didn’t recognize. To make matters worse, the gas fee on this transaction was far higher than it should have been—almost suspiciously high. Something was off. My gut told me this wasn’t a mistake; it felt like I’d been targeted. I didn’t know what to do next. The address was foreign to me, and the transaction seemed completely legitimate on the surface, making it even harder to figure out where things went wrong. Frustrated and desperate, I started looking for solutions. That’s when I came across “Salvage Asset Recovery,” a service that specializes in recovering lost or stolen crypto assets. I was initially doubtful—after all, how could a third party help me with something so personal and irreversible? But I had no other choice. I contacted them, and within a few hours, I was in touch with a professional who walked me through the situation. With their expertise, it became clear that I had likely fallen victim to a phishing attack or exploit, which had tricked me into sending my ETH to a malicious address. They assured me that recovery was possible and began working immediately. In what seemed like a miracle, my ETH was returned. The entire ordeal had been a nightmare, but with the help of Salvage Asset Recovery, I got my funds back. It was a huge relief, but it also served as a wake-up call. I learned the hard way that in the world of crypto, things aren’t always as straightforward as they seem. Now, I triple-check everything before I make any transactions, and I’m much more cautious about where I seek help. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to reach out to Salvage Asset recovery, you might just get your money back, too.

Mold Removal Atlanta: Professional Mold Remediation by Water Damage Restoration Atlanta
Mold can pose serious health risks and cause extensive damage to your property if left unchecked. Whether it’s the result of lingering moisture from water damage, high humidity, or poor ventilation, mold growth can quickly spread and compromise the safety of your home or business. That’s where Water Damage Restoration Atlanta comes in. We provide expert mold removal in Atlanta, ensuring your property is clean, safe, and free from harmful mold.
Why is Mold Removal Important?
Mold thrives in damp, warm environments and can grow on virtually any surface, including walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and personal belongings. If not addressed promptly, mold can cause:
Health Issues: Mold exposure can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, headaches, skin irritation, and, in severe cases, more serious health conditions, especially for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems.
Structural Damage: Mold can weaken building materials, such as drywall and wood, leading to costly structural repairs.
Unpleasant Odors: Mold produces a musty smell that can linger and affect indoor air quality.
Decreased Property Value: Mold issues can deter potential buyers and lower the value of your property.
Our team at Water Damage Restoration Atlanta understands the urgency of mold removal. We offer fast and efficient mold remediation services to restore your property to a safe and healthy state.
Our Comprehensive Mold Removal Process
At Water Damage Restoration Atlanta, we follow a thorough, step-by-step approach to ensure complete mold remediation:
1. Inspection and Assessment
Our certified technicians begin by conducting a detailed inspection of your property to identify the source and extent of the mold problem. Using advanced detection tools, we assess moisture levels and locate hidden mold growth in hard-to-reach areas.
2. Containment
To prevent mold from spreading to other areas of your property, we create a containment zone using physical barriers and negative air pressure. This ensures that spores are not dispersed during the remediation process.
3. Mold Removal and Cleaning
Our team uses specialized cleaning agents and advanced techniques to remove mold from affected surfaces. For non-porous materials, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the surfaces. In cases where mold has deeply penetrated porous materials like drywall or carpeting, we safely remove and dispose of those materials.
4. Air Filtration
To improve indoor air quality, we use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration systems to remove airborne mold spores. This step is crucial in preventing further mold growth and ensuring a healthy environment.
5. Drying and Moisture Control
Since mold thrives in moist conditions, we use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry out the affected areas completely. Controlling moisture levels is key to preventing mold from returning.
6. Restoration
After successful mold removal, we offer repair and restoration services to return your property to its original condition. This includes repairing drywall, repainting, and reinstalling flooring if necessary.
Why Choose Water Damage Restoration Atlanta for Mold Removal?
At Water Damage Restoration Atlanta, we take pride in delivering high-quality mold remediation services to the residents and businesses of Atlanta. Here’s what sets us apart:
Experienced Team: Our highly trained and certified technicians have years of experience in mold removal and water damage restoration.

Comprehensive Services: From mold removal to water damage restoration and structural repairs, we handle every aspect of the remediation process.
Insurance Assistance: We work with your insurance provider to help you navigate the claims process, ensuring that you get the coverage you deserve.
Common Causes of Mold Growth in Atlanta
Understanding the common causes of mold can help you prevent future infestations. In Atlanta, the most frequent causes of mold include:
High Humidity Levels: Atlanta’s humid climate provides ideal conditions for mold growth, especially in poorly ventilated areas.
Water Damage: Leaking pipes, roof leaks, or flooding can introduce excess moisture, leading to mold problems if not properly addressed.
Poor Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements can create moisture buildup, encouraging mold growth.
HVAC Issues: Faulty HVAC systems can trap moisture inside ducts, allowing mold to develop and spread through the air.4
