Fortigate, stop hijacking my get request for react!!!

I regret persuing Software Engineering as a career.

I am not sure how to grow. I graduated in 2020, been doing mobile(Android) development for last 5 years and after 2 switches, am stuck in a typical micromanaging toxic company with an average package and this is sucking the life out of me.

I don't feel excited about my domain. Earlier I had this twinkle in my eyes everyday I wake up, wanting to tackle the next big challange, explore the next unexplored area in tech. But now am in crisis

Firstly My domain(Android) itself is challenging. continuously evolving and people wanting to move to shiny stuff instead of what works. Wasn't technology the tool to fix problems? Why is it inventing problems?

2ndly when and where is one supposed to "live life"? i wake up at 6.30, leave for office at 7.30, reach office at 9.30, leave from office at 6 and reach home at 8.30 .

take 1 hour of dinner 1 hour of freshen up, and 6 hrs of sleep and poof! almost whole day is gone! why am i spending 20+ hours in a routine that isn't giving me any happiness?

I can't go to gym , I can't goto park to walk, I can't read a book, I can't make some side business/hobby, I can't play some ps game or go hang out with friends/family. is this normal?

Either am at an illusion that :
1. there are some companies that allow one to achieve all this with their remote work or
2. there are professions/business which allow this or
3. there are government job employees who love like this.

or everyone is doomed like me and we are all looking to die at early 50s. I sometimes think even a farmer is not that in pressure as us.

Lastly the work pressure to proof oneself every damn minute and the office politics. I just want to get out of this rat race

I FINALLY GOT A FUCKING MAIL SERVER GOING

DMARC, SPF, MX, WHATEVER

My zonefile is full of crap generated by Stalwart Mail that I don't understand but I DON"T CARE. I've been trying to do this since high school. I sank WEEKS into it. I can finally die in peace.

Also, I'm now able to self-host shit like GitLab that relies on a mailer for correct operation.

God. FUCKING Damn.

Naturally, now that it's done I've no idea what took so long, and the only problems I appreciate are the ones I solved in the last weeks.

In 2027, Trump will amend the constitution to allow himself to be re-elected again in 2028.

In 2031, sex offender registry will be shut down. Every pedophile will be pardoned. Trump administration will establish "Pedo Pride WorldWide" event, which will have overwhelming success. Then, Trump will introduce the Pedo Medal of Honor that will look just like the regular Medal of Honor, with brown band instead of blue, with the outline of the Epstein island instead of stars, and the golden profile of Donald Trump instead of the medal. After one year of daily awarding, the US of A will run out of gold.

Then, Victor Orban and Olaf Scholz will migrate to the US of A using the new Pedo Green Card, talking all their friends with them.

Then, trump will re-elect himself (sic) again and lower the age of consent to twelve for girls and ten for boys.

Crypto bots, please do us a favor and choke on my dick.

Today, my wife switched from an Android smartphone to a Nokia 5228 she took from my phone collection. It runs Symbian, so it's as good as a dumb phone now. Yesterday she told me that her phone and the magnetizing power of infinitely scrollable feeds were sucking the life out of her. Let's see how it goes.

util: YOU CANT PASS VERSION IN THAT FORMAT IT MUST BE A VERSION OBJECT FROM THE VERSION MODULE IN THE VERSION CINEMATIC UNIVERSE BLAHBLAHB LAHBLAH BLAHBLAH (...) CANT COMPILE THOUGH EVERYTHING ELSE IS CORRECT.

me: fuck you, it's just a string. i'll pass it however the fuck i want, using whichever format i feel like, and your standards will suck my dick day and night.

util: NOOOOO!!! I WAS PROGRAMMED TO THROW AND DIE AND BURN ON THIS VERY SPECIFIC AND INFINITELY STUPID CONDITION THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO!!

me: well you're a build tool so i guess i could just replace you with inhouse, right? i mean https://github.com/Liebranca/... im just the kinda guy to do it.

util: WHAT?!! NO PLEASE I DIDN'T MEAN T- **FUCKING DIES**

me: get uninstalled bitch.

The latest and greatest bullshit at the workplace: when you're asked to be an 'ambassador'. This really just translates to: 'take on more work for free'.

Whenever management approaches you with 'honorable extra role', immediately ask how it's compensated and definitely don't do it for no extra benefits (a raise should be default).

Don't fall into the trap.

Phone broke, screen fell off 😣 Now I can't download devRant on my new phone 😅 There's a community Android client, right? What's the name and where do I find it?

How is the weekend going?

Question: What do you think about office affairs?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/18827105

Something, somewhere went horribly wrong if we need to present these kinds of 'warnings' to people.
WTF?

This is AMOLED display at 250x zoom.

Who else is sick of generative AI being pushed into everything and techbros gloating about replacing software engineers? It's like they are excited about people losing their livelihoods and it's disgusting.

JoyRant build 40

* Added spam detection!
* Fixed weird black background in encountered users view
* Fixed aspect ratio of placeholder user image

Spam is detected using a spam score system.
Specific words and patterns increase the score and once a threshold is reached, the rant is considered spam.

In the feed spam rants will be less visible (max 3 lines of text, smaller and half transparent text and no images) but you can still open the rant (maybe to check the full rant to see if it is really spam) and downvote.

This can be disabled in Settings but is enabled by default.

It’s phase 1 of the spam related feature.
I will approach phase 2 later since it‘s low priority for me.

Feel free to contribute to the spam detection config file via PR:

"Bitcrack Recovery Experts"
How I imagine their logo to look:

Corporates want us to work 10 hours, why not 20 or 24 hours, evolved monkeys on a tiny dot thinking about profits

I should really close snek.molodetz.nl tab when I'm on call with a client.

This codebase had 50+ main() functions and 80+ Material App. 5 of them are nested MaterialApp

Redundant widgets, security leaks, and print Sensitive information from the server to console without using (kDebugMode), therefore in prod, the data are leaked.

I refactored until I screamed.

So I left a gift inside.

I didn’t know my dad was alive, let alone writing the rules of dating me!

There was one more plane in WTC attacks that struck a skyscraper in Newark. It didn't collapse all the way, but instead collapsed halfway while tilting sideways. It stood like this with power still on when Kim Dotcom bought it. He named it The Darthmaker. Because it was winter, he made it an extreme snowboarding course.

Many people perished there, losing their balance and falling into the rebar pit. Also, still working Commodore terminals were littered around, with their tape data storage cabinets transformed into washing machines that washed corpses.

Experiencing The Darthmaker made most of its visitors insane. This is why in 2006 it was leveled for good. A dilapidated yellow Commodore chiclet keyboard from one of the terminals is still on display in the museum in the United Paper Island.

The MDN docs for gradients in SVG include the word "hideous".

Cool, cool.

I wish dev work was about the tech, the logic, the architecture

but annoyingly it's always about people

Every damn time I visit the server rooms for tunnel infra, I feel like I just entered the backrooms. Endless winding stairs, rooms that appear out of nowhere, doors galore, labels in ancient hiroglyphs and time travel are very common.

Mhmmmm nothing better than a döner with extra sauce

actual gift from god😋

💩 Behold the true power of AI! 💩
💩💩 ChatGPT is just a shitpost enabler. 💩💩

mandatory cashier competitions organized by walmart where cashiers can win unpaid time off

Bad UI on purpose = makes people try harder = increase engagement and brand loyalty ... until eventually a disruptive competitor will offer a smoother user experience and suddenly you'll lose them all.

Can't wait for the time when Instagram, the undead dinosaur of antisocial media, will be history at last.

Dotty, I’m sorry. Will never say a single bad thing to you.
