Linux distributions.

You’re a fucking demon if you don’t include a README.md.

Thanks you for reading my GitHub complaint.

So yesterday our team got a new toy. A big ass 4k screen to display some graphs on. Took a while to assemble the stand, hang the TV on that stand, but we got there.

So our site admin gets us a new HDMI cable. Coleague told us his lappy supports huge screens as he used to plug his home TV in his work lappy while WFHing. He grabs that HDMI, plugs one end into the screen, another - into his lappy and

.. nothing...
Windows does not recognize any new devices connected. The screen does not show any signs of any changes. Oh well..

Site IT admin installs all the updates, all the new drivers, upgrades BIOS and gives another try.

Nothing.

So naturally the cable is to blame. The port is working for him at home, so it's sure not port's fault. Also he uses his 2-monitor setup at work, so the port is 100% working!

I'm curious. What if..... While they are busy looking for another cable, I take that first one, plug it into my Linux (pretty much stock LinuxMint installation w/ X) lappy,

3.. 2.. 1..

and my desktop is now on the big ass 4k fat screen.

Folks. Enough bitching about Linux being picky about the hardware and Windows being more user friendly, having PnP and so. I'm not talking about esoteric devices. I'm talking about BAU devices that most of home users are using. A monitor, a printer, a TV screen, a scanner, wireless/usb speaker/mouse/keyboard/etc...
Linux just works. Face it

P.S. today they are still trying to make his lappy work with that TV screen. No luck yet.

Oops, i bought a new one - I dont really know what i wanna do with it - but it was on sale so 😅

The way we've been waiting for Slack's dark mode, it better be lit! 🔥

Nerd problems... I just sneezed so hard my glasses fell off

Recently took a screenshot in a game called Firewatch and out of curiosity tried it out as a wallpaper for my phone. It looks amazing 😍

Damn hackers! Within the course of a week, the internet of my country has been DDOS-attacked three times! Last week the attacks came from Russia or China". Yesterday they came from Russia and Ukraina. Is this a part of the Russian military exercises Zapad 17? Well, when an important part of the infrastructure is down and thousands of civilians are affected, it's for real and not an exercise.

First new job impression;
Me: you use Ubuntu as well? Nearly everyone does Linux here I see!
Co-worker: yup!
Me: So no windows?
CW: nahh, we want stuff that's fixable if it gets fucked. *mentions some things about windows*
Other co-worker: (obviously referring to windows) hey no swearing in here!

😄😅😆

I like it there!

So I been telling Cox no to upgrading my modem for the past 2 months, my modem works fine, so now last night the modem just stops working, the internet is out and I call support, I tell them the problem and they without even thinking ask what version of modem I have, I tell then gen 2,they then offered a upgrade for free and the old gen 2 ones were not working lately, I reluctantly agreed to swap them for free, so after I got off the phone I was curious, I decided to packet sniff and find all my data is being sent just fine, but once it reaches the Cox main gateway it just drops the packet, I even pinged the DNS and it responded fine, turns out they just shut my connection off and basically forced me to upgrade to their gen 3 enhanced Wi-Fi bullshit

So I just had an interview a couple weeks ago at one of the largest employers of software engineers in the country. After multiple stages of group interviews it came to the 2 on 1 individual interview with some project leads (picture devs using a MacBook with Github stickers - lads). Among the questions they asked me we both had a laugh at 2 of them:

Q: Explain how deadlocks work?
A: Hire me and I will explain how they work.

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A: Celebrating 22s 22m 22h 22/12/2022.

Strangely enough they hired me 😎

!devs
Wow
Such dino
That moment when you realize that it also works on mobile lol

Finally my stickers arrived! Again! xD And they're getting more and more!

Maybe devRant should check their awesome-sticker-sending-process.

But until then, I ain't complainin' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesn't it feel just awesome when your project is going on smoothly since the beginning...I've completed around 80 percent and haven't been stuck in anything major yet for more than half a day. It's not much I know but for me it is and right now I feel like the queen of coding ^_^

Hey bb are you a buffer?

cause you're the over to my flow

I'll see myself out

I have so much work to do...

And here I am, watching Top 10 building demolitions on YouTube.

I don't have a #RubberDuck for debugging!! So a rubber #shark does the job for me!! 😁

Have to share some pillow talk with the wife last night - somehow got onto the subject of washing machines. Mentioned that most washing machines run on something like Java, she disagreed and said they run on buttons. BUTTONS!!

Told her I would be putting this on devrant.

Won a raspberry pi playing the Google dino run game... what would I use it for?

I just hate wordpress. Whenever I have to touch it, makes me nervous.

This time I just have to put some html/css. I was thinking it's piece of cake.
Couldn't be more wrong. This fucker is adding extra tags to my code fucking up what made...

Saturday mornings are the best. I've got my coffee. I've got my music. And I've got hours of free time to work on my own projects.

=>console.log('hi!')
=>I have a boyfriend!

Finished setting up my little war machine at the new desk. Posting picture as proof that this table was indeed tidy at some point in time.
