Current mood: running and hiding from our IT admin.
I know he wants me to install Nod32 on my workstation! A Linux workstation!17 -
Tried deploying a new nginx server today, wrote the site config manually.
"Alright, done! Let's restart the service and look in the browser how it looks"
# systemctl restart nginx
> Process exited with error code.
"Fuuuuck..."
# nginx
> Unexpected } on line 13.
# vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/thatconfig.conf
"Wait wtf.. there's nothing wrong with the curly braces.. they're all opening and closing as they should..."
*takes another closer look*
Line 12, missed a fucking semicolon 😑
Append semicolon, :wq, # systemctl restart nginx
Works like a charm 🙄 all because of a stupid semicolon.
Until now I thought that the semicolon jokes were just lame.. but damn you semicolon, you are indeed the superior hide and seek player 😅9 -
Today I played hide and seek at work, this time it was not find the missing semicolon but instead find the unknown. After 30 minutes it turned out the request URL had a capital 'i' instead of a small 'L'
==> l = I almost the same but guess my eyes are not functioning as they should
It was a fun game11 -
Bought a new android phone and spent an hour:
* uninstalling apps
* disabling automatic updates
* disabling recommendations
* disabling sending anonymous usage data
* disabling notifications
It's like playing hide and seek but without fun4 -
Ok, this is my first post here...and I came here to rant - I had heard about this place, but I guess I just hadn't had a bad enough day...until today...the day I found my ec2 instance was playing hide and seek with me. I just found out that my aws billing dashboard is going to swoosh 2000rs (30$) out of my wallet. Imagine ranting about this to a layperson... ok anyway, I had taken a t2-medium (my first one ever) for a hackathon and I was just playing with the regions I guess and it somehow ended up in the ohio region. I had given IAM access to some of my teammates and they were using it. We were supposed to shutdown the instance after 1 day. The next day I check the dashboard (for N.Virginia - which is the default) and I see no running instances. I thought ok my teammates must've turned it off and I left it at that. A month after the hackathon, I login today and I have this jaw-dropping moment. I now have to pay 30$ for nothing!

For the last 20 years, there's one thing I've not been able to do reliably:
Share a folder on a windows computer.
Why the fuck can I write /etc/smb.conf from scratch with a blindfold on and make it securely work from all client devices including auth & acl, but when I rightclick and share on windows it's either playing hide and seek on the network (is it hiding behind //hostname/share? No? Maybe in the bushes behind the IP addresses?), or it's protected by mysterious logins requiring you to sacrifice two kittens a day.
Yes, finally it works! One windows update later... aaaand it's gone.
JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING CONF AND A MAN PAGE, MICROSOFT. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE ORALLY PLEASING ALL THESE MALWARE RIDDEN GUISLUTS ON THE SIDE, JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING TEXT FILE TO STORE AND EDIT.4 -
If point-and-click game made in PowerPoint, that my grandma actively played because of boredom, is "creative hacky solution", then there you have it.
First game is "The Adventures of Sayid", second "Hide and Seek" with creepy pasta sound and graphic assets from Shrek: Activity Center.
Well, that's my childhood without Internet, what I can say!3 -
You always announce semicolon is the hide and seek champion.
But you never tell me who win the second place and the third place.4 -

Did any body ever applied to a job at SO jobs? The conditions looks really good but it looks like they are only for senior dev or sharp profile on some extinct technologie.. did it ever work for any of you guys?5

"Courier tracking websites - the thrill of refreshing for 'real-time' updates, deciphering error messages, and navigating through a UI designed by a caffeine-fueled coder on a psychedelic trip. It's like playing hide-and-seek with my package! Can we please simplify and speed up this tracking game, dear coding wizards?"2

FUUUUUUCK
Spent 3 days trying to find out what I'm doing wrong and why the server cannot send emails in an obsolete project (https://devrant.com/rants/1806850). I started debugging the PHPMailer SMTP library (v2.0.3 since it is the only one that works with PHP4) and found out THIS SHIT.
WHO THE FUCK confuses = for ==

Took three days off during an insanely busy period because had to take care of some shit back in the country I'm from. Didn't know what state I'd be in after this so despite having the flight now (in the evening), took the next day off as well in case I would be completely exhausted. Now, at the airport, who do I see? The CEO... Commence hide-and-seek :)

I spent a god damn hour trying to set up my damn graphic tablet, playing hide and seek with files, and struggling with Vim
Fuck the tablet I'm going in with mouse boi -

So if you like among us or not, that new hide and seek mode has an absolute banger of a soundtrack. Especially the third part.1

So I often wonder.
if they do one thing that pretty much fucks a person for awhile because they pretend it should, while using my country as some boarded stage under which they hide bodies and shit, and simultaenously also rollback individual progress in other avenues or expect people to endlessly recreate but not share the accumulated information, what is their expectation ? especially when shooting them seems pointless because they just breed ? kind of curious how we got here.. again. I just want to settle down with my fucking money and let all these new retards continue to walk off the cliff like in the game lemmings if left unattended. maybe even to the song.
https://youtu.be/Xi-koI7mvq0/...
I think this level best describes my expectations.
anyway.
I said this before and I'm kind of sick of asking, would someone enlighten a very healthy old man as to why everyone is so fucking stupid and why he is sitting in the same place writing about the same thing to what probably comprises an entirely new group of people or if they even exist at all anymore, a single operator sitting trying to determine if a new query has been posted ?
I mean this is mean.
I wouldn't have shot any of you people at all in my lifetime if you'd leave time alone and stop trying to screw me up in life so little ingrates and awful little shits can realize life isn't what they wished it was and seek to do dumb things like jump off jacobs ladder for example.
i mean its just not worth it.
i would much rather have continuous happiness and/or normal boredom and friendships and the occasonal high class escort in my bed than running around watching soon to be dead idiots pretend I never made any money saying the same things as how many assholes before them and blaming me for things they did.
which i know especially they did.
because they did it all before.
i'm tired of robots am I alone ?
and I'm tired of the same years.
and i'm especially tired of retards saying 'hahahaah look at the AI, he has limited things he can do, why doesn't he just sell his soul/ass/baby/life like we did ? STUPID" -

Alright, fellow DevRanters, gather 'round for a tale of woe and frustration. 🙄
I was knee-deep in my code, chasing down a bug that had me stumped for hours. I thought I was on the verge of a breakthrough, but then it happened—the code disappeared! Poof! Vanished into the digital abyss without a trace. 😱
I mean, it's one thing to wrestle with bugs and errors, but it's a whole new level of insanity when your code decides to pull a disappearing act on you. I scoured my directories, I even questioned my own sanity. But nope, my code was just playing hide and seek.
So, here I am, feeling like a detective in a coding noir thriller. 🕵️♂️ The hunt for the vanishing code continues, but I'm not giving up. This bug won't escape me! 💪
Has anyone else had their code pull a vanishing act when you needed it the most? Share your tales of coding mystery and mayhem below! 🕵️♀️👇5
