Take 3-4 days to set everything up and then lose every bit of interest on it.

While I was looking for a wallpaper to use on my laptop, I bumped on this one and nostalgia kicked in!
It only took an instant to save it and set it!!! 😂
Whoever did this, s/he gets my respect!

How to get free dark theme?
1) Set theme to blindingly white
2) Go to settings and turn on invert colours.
3) Profit

My CS college has its portal's login page secured with captcha.

You ever sit down to start working on a project, get all your imports and variables set up, and then just completely lose all motivation to even press a key?

Goddamn I'm retarded to the next level.

Rebooted my phone a few days ago, some stuff didn't work well anymore and I'm looking for a new one which supports custom roms but I shouldn't spend too much right now so I thought I'd let it go for now.

Rebooted again last night and the network time wouldn't set properly so set it manually. Today I suddenly noticed that any app/page loading through a secure connection wasn't loading at all.

This to the goddamn point that my phone was becoming useless.

Started to search for a quick, cheap replacement supporting custom roms while debugging on and on.

I just (now) looked at the date and BAM, it hit me: I set it to one month earlier.

Mother of god I'm stupid. Brain fart to the max.

So my company is hiring only amateur developers, Including me.So that they can save on budget . So we have no one to guide us and ambitious deadlines are set .

I fucking LOVEEEEE that there's atleast 50 different ways to set the mysql root password, depending on what weather, what time and what version you're lucky to fetch from the repos.

First fucking night of being on call again.

Normally I set an alarm at 3 to check if any critical disruptions have been going on.

But why the fuck would I need that if I woke up every fucking hour at night anyways?

I'm fucking tired right now and agitated as hell.

Ok, some @#$#!!@ at my company set the WordPress cache directory to "/" on a Linux server, some other plugin triggered the cache clear and the Apache user was the owner of almost all the WordPress directories of several MU installations, this all happened on a Friday afternoon.

I use the ++ button to set a bookmark on rants with many comments. So when I come back I can start reading from the red ++.

The designer of this keyboard should be shot on sight! A set of keys left of ctrl, shift, tab...except esc of course. Pure evil! I'm changing the volume, every time that I have to use shift... :/

So I thought I will set up a PIN to make logging into the corporate PC easier. Hm... based on these requirements I can probably stick with password.

@dfox You may want to explicitly set the text color on the devRant web app. It's kinda hard to read for those of us who have joined the dark side on Linux (Dark GTK+ theme), at least on Firefox. :)

Just set a cron on a coworkers machine to play "What does the fox say" at max volume at 8 when he's the only one here.

May need to review the security footage in the morning.

Why the FUCK do people keep turning up the brightness on the monitors? Every single time I'm in programming class, some complete fucking idiot set the brightness blindingly high! I want to keep my eyes for a while, anything other than 0 just makes my eyes hurt on this monitor!

I set up Linux on my laptop today and connected to Wi-Fi. It took nine-ish hours.

Linux set up on laptop day 2: can't make the screen lock after resume from suspend, can't connect to my VPN, can't set key bindings in i3wm... But I did successfully set my wallpaper.

My home set up, tower is on the floor but also have a decent few laptops laying around.

Yesterday I had to film something but I was too lazy to set up my LED pannel so I wrote a blank html page and opened it in fullscreen on my projector.

My set up in March, 2003.

On the desk: Titanium PowerBook G4 1Gz
On the floor: custom-built PC running my email and web server on SUSE Linux

me: hey dad i finally installed linux on my laptop
dad: whats that? nvm, what i want u to do is set up a server for emails
me: *slowly backs out*

dad doesnt acknowledge the fact that im diving into linux :(

Not really hacking, but my roommate says otherwise. So we share a router in the apartment and I’m the only one that really knows how to access it, so of course I change the password and tell no one (not like they’ll try to get in anyway).
Occasionally set roommate likes to get blackout and play music very loud at 2am. To be petty, on those occasions I set up an RPi Zero to connect to the WiFi, restart it, and sleep for a minute, and repeat. He’s still convinced we are getting DDOSd, and suspects nothing.

Reason I don’t just set parental controls - he gets more frustrated when the WiFi appears for 10secs, the music is just about to start and shuts off again. So he gives up quicker. Otherwise, he resets the router and I have to set up everything from the start.

My worst dev sin was leaving out the 'WHERE' in a SQL update statement on a production database

Set every booking to be owned by the same sales consultant 👀

🔐How can a manufacturer(Netgear) not allow changing username of the admin user???🔥

That effectively lets anyone bruteforce the damn thing like its being grilled on a BBQ!

Yet they implement remote access router management via 8080 and alley you set up VPN server on the incapable thing.

just discovered CTRL+ALT+ESC shortcut to kill a window without opening the Task Manager.

KDE is AWESOME.

on Gnome you can install xkill & set a custom shortcut.

NUKE IT FROM ORBIT. It was when i was doing an assignment with my roommate, i was compiling something on my pi and ran netstat afterwards for no reason. I had an ssh-connection from china (logged in too). The pi was shutdown ASAP, i salvaged everything i needed from the sd and dd'ed raspbian on the disk again.

Turns out you were able to login via root (i thought i disabled it) with the password i set (root...). I learned from this, now external logins are only allowed via private key and i have fail2ban set up

I saw an article about being able to set your phone to silent with your Google Home device. "Wow that's cool. Hey Google! Set my phone to silent."

Forgets about it.

This morning I noticed I was getting messages on Snapchat, but not getting any notifications.

"Snapchat is a piece of fucking garbage." (Still a true statement lol)

Half an hour later, I remember I set DND on and never turned it off.

Just here to say that I am a fucking moron.

I'm Stux and thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Last night I was exploring the feasibility of cracking the WPA2 key of my own router at home. I set out on a late night adventure, set up a couple devices and, knowing the default password convention of the manufacturer, setup a Hashcat instance with the relevant masks on my laptop, created a Crunch wordlist and ran aircrack on my Raspberry Pi 3, and thought "Hey - maybe there's something for Android too."

Hashcat on Android is a cat based social media app. I'm a little scared.

When you set up your first ever personal Apache server built on a raspberry pi and everything works first time, and you feel like a god for this tiny achievement :D

I love it when my clients give me free reign to choose the software.

I'm gonna set up nginx with flask on Ubuntu 16.04 on DigitalOcean.

It's gonna be great :D.

Today,I found this gem:

static function getConfig(){
$cacheKey = 'foobar';

try {
$config = $this->repository->getConfig();

$this->cache->set($cacheKey, $config);
}
catch(Exception $e){
try{
$config = $this->repository->getConfig();

$this->cache->set($cacheKey, $config);
}
catch(Exception $e){}
}
}

I don't want to live on this planet anymore...!

My raspberry Pi finally arrived ☺️! Now i just have to set it up... Any advice on what linux distro i should put on it? (i will use it as a NAS, torrent server and pi hole)

The boss made us to set a shitty background (pattern) to the website we are working on right now but it looks ugly as hell. I tried to change his mind several times but no, he fucking loves that background.

Anyone remembers that in windows XP you coud set any exe as screen saver, and it would run on time, even before you log into any user, as a default system user with administrator privileges?

Gaming on Windows vs Linux:

Windows:
After installing windows, and downloading Minecraft, I was able to run it at a solid 60fps while stretched across 3 monitors

Linux:
After installing, and spending many, many hours trying to set it up to detect more than 1 monitor, I admitted defeat and decided to play on just one. This monitor was also set at a weird resolution, which I briefly fixed, but then broke again immediately. I downloaded Minecraft and after running it, I was able to get a somewhat solid 7fps (10 if I was lucky).

On the bright side, it was able to run a terminal based game just fine on linux.

Set up my server 2 days ago and hackers already on it!! Geeeeze!! 😂😂

How long will it be before clients "get it" the web is a fluid medium it can't and shouldn't be fixed like ink on paper. Unless I do your website as a set of jpegs, you dickhead.

@linuxxx

I have a suggestion for you,

Please set up an Unbound resolver so people does not have to depend on big actors like Google, Cloudflare or quad9.

When some born-in-the-90s chode claims that linux is bullshit because you might sometimes have to use the keyboard on the command line, I set that motherfucker's house on fire.

Wtf Microsoft ?!?

Worked as the hardware QA for a storage company. Some tests took a week to set up and several weeks of scripts to run through for IP-SAN certifications. CEO's little pet came downstairs and asked if I could tear down some of the raid configurations and "make all of the lights on the servers blink a lot". He had some clients he was working pretty hard.

Sure... your blinkin' lights just set this release back almost a month.

FUCK! The fucking previous dev on this project who set up the fucking web service that he knew would be shared among multiple platforms set it up to use an audio format that's only supported on one platform. Now I'm faced with either doing some fucking JS black magic to decode the fucking base64 audio, convert it to another audio format, and then possibly re-encode it or attempting to re-write the fucking web service and already in production app! Fucking hell!

Wrote a bot that would send a request to my phone where tasker would set the alarm, it was planned that my bot would automatically detect things like me turning off my pc and then setting a 9 or 10 hour wake up time incl. falling asleep and getting ready for bed, ended up using it to not open the clock app on my phone to set alarms

finally, after a week of helping my friend to learn the basics of front-end web development, he got the internship at one of my friend's office ( he set up the interview on my request).

It does feel good.

I made some substantial changes to the codebase.
I run all the unit tests, as usual.
A test that has nothing to do with the feature I'm working on breaks.
"Huh that's odd, let me debug that"
I set a breakpoint with the condition set so that it pauses before the test assertion goes red.

I start the debugger and.... all tests pass

Turns out it only happens like 500/10000 times....

This will be fun

I love the mix of people’s setups. There are those with actual monitors set up in a nice curved way, and then there are people with like 10 random laptops set up on their desks like they hoard electronics

Just spent 8 hours debugging an issue that had been sitting in my issue queue for a week. WooCommerce was claiming transactions were failing, but going through in the background anyway.

Can’t share any more specifics here, but the gist of it is that the server the code was developed on was set to PHP version 7.1, while the server the dev site was on was set to version 5.6 (which I didn’t even think was still installed, never mind the default...).

So yeah, fun times over a trivial fix.

There's nothing quite like forgetting to turn on your alarm (or set it to repeat on weekdays)

Someone wrote to me on linkedin for a php job. I had enough time and accepted the interview. We set it for the next day at a time that both me and the recruiter wanted.
I waited for him to even contact me until 5-6 hrs after the time we set, to tell me he was busy with meetings (wtf you wanted 14pm). I gave another chance and we set the interview the next day at the same time.

I waited for 2-3 hrs. This time he wrote me back even later, it was almost midnight to tell me the same excuse.

Is this a red flag for you? Should I even consider working with this guy?

Okey, so the recruiters are getting smarter, I just clicked how well do you know WordPress quiz (I know it's from a recruiter, already entered a php quiz An might win a drone)

So the question is how to solve this issue:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2348617 bytes) in /home4/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line xxx

A set memory limit to 256
B set memory limit to Max
C set memory limit to 256 in htaccess
D restart server

These all seem like bad answers to me.

I vote E don't use the plug-in, or the answer that trumps the rest, F don't use WordPress

Programmer son's ask s his father:
Dad, why do the sun rise on the east and set on the west?

What else can I do that I can't do on PC/normal TV?

Gotta love the IoT.

They set up a new surveillance camera in the company, that can stream live footage over the network and that little shit picked the IP adress of a coworker one day AFTER being set up.
Hurray for static routing. Hurray to the person who didn't disable DHCP on the router (Should probably configure my PC to use a static IP as well lel)

Anyways, this happened outta nowhere when I, the only guy who knows shit about IT and is usually present at yhe office, wasn't there and could not connect remotely.

The other, remote programmer, who set up the network, could guide the coworker to get a new IP but, he was worried that we got ourselves an intruder.

Since nobody told me yet that we (should) have static routing, I thought there was a mastermind at work who could get into a network without a wifi-access point and spoof the coworker in order to access the some documents.

The adrenaline rush was real 😨

Scanning the network with nmap solved the mystery rather quickly but thought me that I need to set up a secure way to get remote access on the network.

I would appreciate some input on the set up I thought of:
A raspberry Pi connected to a vpn that runs ssh with pw auth disabled and the ssh port moved.
Would set up the vpn in a similar fashion.

Home: I am sorry, I can't add calendar events yet.

And the list goes on. WTF google. Why my phones Google assistant can do all of the above and a home assistant cannot even though they are the same thing...

Guess who is browsing actions api to implement missing functionality that should be in a freaking core...

Talking about buying voice controlled music box...

Me writing articles: …so think of Brodal-Okasaki heap as a set of endofunctors mapping the N-dimensional Hilbert continuum, simple as that
Me talking on stage: how is babby formed

Wouldn't it figure that a crap update like Gutenberg would be set to arrive on my ex's birthday?

Boss is obsessed with using wordpress, need to move away from wordpress and make more use of my skill set. Any tips on (indirectly) telling him we could be doing much more?

Im not sure if im a good or bad person by allowing my users to set a weak password.

They get to use almost whatever they want, but it may be bruteforced easily.
I let users decide their own security on that point.

So i was commenting on a rant by some user where we had this conversation about IDEs and editors...
Point: Intellij has an option to set a background to the whole ide which gives coding a unique experience instead of the pale dull solid color background.

Go to Settings > Appearance > Background image is in the main appearance tab click and set the image, position, transparency ... And voila u have a background image on your editor.

Alternative way just go to settings and search for background image

My father in law uses a mac. He once asked me to fix something there for him. So I turned it on and I thought my eyes where bleeding. He had the contrast on the highest level. It was so bad you couldn't even recognize the buttons on the screen. So I changed the contrast to a degree that I could recognize something except for white on the screen. After fixing his problem I asked him why his contrast was set so high. He said that the colors on the screen were only right when the contrast is set high and that I should change it back.

What are people's thoughts on having a personal website/portfolio?

I've set one up on GitHub pages with my custom URL, mainly to host SQL tutorials etc that I make, but do employers look at them?

My reasons for going to work on this Monday:
-weather really nice
-I'll be able to spend $$$ on boba and other nice foods
-commuting will naturally block away time to work on my reading list
-there's supposed to be a new PC waiting to be set up

I want to do actual work....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Why on Earth would a Performance Testing application such as JMeter have such a low Java heap space by default.. i mean wouldnt it make sence to set this as high as possible for a Performance Testing tool ? 😞

I don't know what side of the argument I'm on for tabs vs spaces. I use tab but set it to be 4 spaces.

Am I the only person who didn't know you could set java script as bookmarks to run functions on select tabs my life is so much easier now will be even easier when I master java script

Power adaptor down, will get replacement, but having to set up a small Dev environment on the wife's laptop...

Could be worse, I suppose...

Going to broaden my skill set by learning Java. I come from a Python (also working on the front-end mandatories: JavaScript, CSS, ect...) background and I'm already cringing from the extra work in syntax with Java.

My group set up a Linux Dev server. We got hacked by Chinese hackers. We set it up again but even more secure with only people inside the uni can access it. We got hacked again.Turns out one of the modules in a container was using an outdated CentOS version. P.S The malicious file on the server was called kk.love.

I hate fucking SteamVR stuff so much. I don't know why, but Valve has not set up the plugins in a way that makes any sense. I have so many workarounds in the project I'm working on it makes me sick.

Set the AI to run a while loop until it has finished watching/playing every video on YouTube from start to finish;

How do you guys use the "extra" buttons on the mouse? Mine are currently set to back/forward, but I don't see myself using it that often while coding, so I'm looking for some ideas on how to better take advantage of them.

I find goals for developers to be pure busy work and almost impossible set meaningful ones.

You can't set ticket based goals, because one ticket may take a week or an hour. You can't really set learning goals, because how do you measure 'learning Svelte'? And if that was your goal, what'd be the point of the outcome?

You can set goals like, ensure all tickets have at least one unit test... but then you get tickets that need to get out yesterday and you get people knocking on your door while you're trying to create meaningful tests.

But we often have a meeting to teach everyone how to set goals, then we have to sit and invent goals that satisfy someone in the org, then twist our usual daily work into some BS about how we're working towards the goals in 1:1s and then the whole thing is forgotten by H2, if not sooner. Just to be resurrected in Jan/Feb of next year.

I love having just a solid set of programming/tech books and a plan on when and what order to go through those books to posses the knowledge they’re bestowing to me.

Got a new server that is mainly going to be used for development tools: Gitlab, Docker, and others. Anyone here have any suggestions on how to set it up? Should we virtualize it or use Docker on top of a light OS light Core OS?

Have bought a set of white board pens to scribble on my windows. Have been writting some stuff down on them for a uni project for the past half hour. It's almost 4am. Damn it

Last night i sat down at 6pm to free up some disk space on /boot, because i didnt properly size it months ago on first installation.

5:20am i close my laptop with a fresh install, and no more WinBlows.

Didnt set out to do it, but Im not mad that it happened.

Just set dvorak as keymap on my phone... Its much better than the german layout

Taps on shoulder.

Seriously, there's a reason I am wearing this big ass headphones, set status to do not disturb and put a sticky saying I'm busy.

Two co-workers came late to our team-event because the POI on GMaps wasn't set accurately to the parking lot of the location.
We became dependent...

Did you guys know that on Android studio, if you set the keymap of completing the current statement to ' ; ', every time you hit ' ; ' after you finish your line, it will auto indent it for you.

You're welcome.

MediaWiki is a great revision tool,

I set one up and me and a few friends are adding notes on there, sometimes it's good to be a developer :)

Hey guys, I just discovered that an instance of internet explorer is actually set to open on startup on Windows.

Try going into your task manager and look for "explorer.exe".

If you want to kill it without finding it, you can also just use the BATCH command `kill /I explorer.exe`

A whole day yo set up an ethereum node on a raspberry pi zero... No mining. No wallet. I'm loosing it, people.

Want to expand skill set. But all my time is taken up working on projects that use just my old skills.

Just found a file where they had needed to write in a way to assign a discount to an order based on a code redeem. They did it by manually checking “if SESSION.DISCOUNT_CODE is set, discount = hardcoded_integer”…. Over 100 times.

Peers: Set bit 0 to 1 (((W key for movement)))
Host: Gets Bit 0; 0=1; sends signal back to peer for moving peer 1 pixel up
Peers: (Location remains the same?)

Any suggestions on what i'm doing wrong here?

Sure, you *could* set up identical VMs on your server and just have one config file for your java application. But why not just set up lots of users on the server, keep various configs in source control, and have a manual task to change the config you're pointing to when you build?

Idiots.

Y'all ever heard of the Clingo language for Answer Set Programming? Fucking concept is blowing my mind. Taking a class on KRR(my graduate degree is all about A.I) and this shit is beyond interesting man.

When I first, at school, set up a program to check how many devices there were on the network using nmap. Then I graphed it over a day and it made me feel real awesome checking out a network and getting info on it, however primitive my methods were

On Tuesday, I meet with a PM to go through priorities and set up a Trello list with task-specific cards (we live and die by Trello, it's not new to him). We determine that work on that list will begin first thing Thursday. PM calls me mid-morning Thursday and says, "just calling to see what you're working on."

Started working on the game I want to make. Decided to go through the android publishing and it took like an hour to get it all set up. CI/CD not easy with game engines either.

What's in your opinion the best way to back up/clone video files from an sd card on to 3 external usb harddisks, simultaneously?

I have to assist in a video shoot and I don't see doing this back up work manually.

I'm halfway through reviewing the code for that one dev on the team who should know better but still ignores every standard we set. It's going to be a rough code review... for him

I want to set aside *at least* an extra hour a week to learn something new. So something on an online course or something like that.

can anyone recommend a nice c++ ide on linux?
I've tried eclipse, but it's a bit bulky and I don't like it's makefile set up.

I do like geany, but I would like autocomplete on it :P

Blue light toxicity is real. Please use blue light filters fellow dev. Especially at night when no other light is on. You only have one set of eyes.

Expanding a batch system on production

Set reservation to block the new nodes

Apply changes and restarted scheduler

Client called because jobs start to fail on new nodes…

Gahhhhhhh!!!!!!

So... I need to implement something from a spec based on a set of standards that use another set of standards based on IETF RFC.

Decide to use a library that implements the original specs. Nothing works.

Read through all of the specs, researched the standards they used, read the RFCs.

Turns out the library doesn't implement the specs properly. Looks like I'll still have to implement my own.
