Let me present you a new term: Boomersoftware

Definition: As long as it has an exorbitant licensing cost it is good software. Whether its used at home or by IT in the office does not matter. Specifically when a foss alternative exists.

Examples:
Microsoft Windows (Especially server or embedded)
Most types of antivirus software
Software
VM-Ware/Hyper-V
Allen-Bradley Studio 5000
Most WYSIWYG document editors

Reading google revies of hospitals is one of my pet peeves. Like it is certainly not an indication to the hospitals quality. As there are mostly people reviewing who had a bad experience. Also a lot of hysterical people who are like: "Walked into the ER with minor headache. Was appalled at the wait time and left. Never going back there again. Worst service everrrr" or "The service woman at the front desk could neither give me a precise diagnosis nor where I had to go to get my second lobotomy."

God, i fucking HATE tech that involves running it through legal!

Today I almost had an engineering orgasm. I'm designing a Eurocard PCB for a Subrack. All components already came with a 3D model within the EDA software. I could therefor export the entire PCB to an STL and print it out for a fitment check. Also the Subrack Vendor has an online designer for the front. You guessed it! It can be exported to CAD and Printed. Man I LOVE the current state of electrical and mechanical engineering. This is such a fucking game changer! I really hope the electrical side checks out thou as prototype manufacturing is expensive! Like 4k can go down the drain for just 5 boards.

It is over now, Devrant!

I am officially lifting platform certified!!!

Someone should make a PewDiePie distro called Pewnix

Yocto definetly goes brrrrrrrrrrr on a 7950X!!!!

Just spent 5h figuring out why sending a serial command wont trigger in U-Boot. Was literally soldering wires to the boad, decoded the entire line with a scope, used several adapters, downloaded the firmware again and again over serial and USB-dfu and a looking for alternative boards online just to find out cutecom was set to send no LF after a command so U-Boot thought i was still typing something. This is literally the semicolon joke you see splattered over normie coding memes.

Bogged down the entire office network because I mirrored Ubuntu Universe to my PC. Apparantly the downlink wasn't rate limited...

How can you know which one is the left or the right twix? Since the packaging is horizontal, there only exists a upper and a lower one. 🤔

Fucking Bureaucracy

So apparantly Cyberpunk 2077 runs on the Switch 2. What fuckery did Nvidia do to make that happen?!??!

What is your longest remote desktop chain. Mine is currently at five!

Yesterday I left an open bag of fried chicken flavourd chips in the office. This morning the entire office smelled like Colonel Sanders had paid a visit.

As interesting as embedded linux is, if you ever try to do something with GPU acceleration. Stop! Go organize a spot with a psychiatrist first. You will need it!

.gitignore contains .gitignore

!dev
Guess who burnt their ENTIRE face today while skiing? Thats right I'm a tomato now!

It fucking grinds my gear to a cylinder that people just cant seem to make calendar invites in Outlook and just email me 5 times with additional info that i then have to copy-paste to the event!

Forticlient remote access is fucking slow. It takes forver to log in and for it to finalize the connection. Also kinda feels like they just gave openvpn a fresh coat of paint in order to siphon more money for licenses out of their customers.

19" penguin

What shall it be today?
- AoK returning
- retoor shilling python
- kiki posting about her diet
- Me shitposting about devrants people once more

Microsoft thats not a terminal, that five dotnet's in a powershell trenchcoat!

We hAvE THaT beHinD a FiuRRWall sO it CAn be InSEcUre!

Motherfucker, I would bitchslap you to the moon for such a retarded opinion! Why would you ever want a single point of failure!

Google Maps: Hey you are at restaurant XYZ! You wanna see the menu?
Me: Yeah, why would I want to see the worse edition of the menu on maps! If only I could just move my eyeballs slightly...

Arrays should be indexable by a float!!!!!

Using RDP to remote into an edge server just to press the restart button feels like just one step over actually walking there and pressing the physical button.
Yes I currently have to do that alot because so many fucking systems are flaky as shit!

Todays fuckery: The IP-Camera's manual shows you how to attach it with a public IP to a DSL Modem.

Raspberry Pi havin their own software as the second/third stage bootloader sure sure is kinda well documented and works kinda well. But oh god is it a faff to get to do something non standard. Just let me modify the u-boot environment and save it to disk/tftp 🥺

Also whoever thought that NFS rootfs should only work with proto=tcp, FUCK YOU for not documenting it! Wasted literally two day on this!

You know shits fucked when the sysadmin whips out the serial adapter!

At my new job I'm allowed to goof around more while at the same time less. Im no longer limited to tech and can just choose the best tool for the job and fuck around trying out new interesting stuff that might work. But at the same time IF I FUCK UP, you will definetly read about it in the news!
