I'm a simple man, I read fuck u jira and I reply Fuck Atlassian.

I so feel you here. Or even worse... confluence... like really?

Daaamnnn!! Totally feel you, those are my best hours!

This should be some ITIL best practice or shit like that. This is a nice standard. Thanks.

Take a trip to Cuba.

I'd be happy could be explaining that stuff to my parents. Normally it's how to connect to WiFi 🙃

Fancy some Perl?

@Fast-Nop A while ago I worked remote in Cuba. The best internet you can get there is ADSL 1mbps. Yes. And thank whatever deity you believe in they have that.

I couldn't believe the amount of web services that crashed or didn't worked at all. Because effectively they were designed by people with blazing fast internet connections (and sure.. powerful PCs)

Few people take into account just what you say, latency, LOTS of packet loss (Hello UDP apps), government-proxy-in-the-middle, closed ports (that should be open in any other damn country) and a plethora bullshit happens in a very crappy internet connection.

Don't even mention what happens when that whole shit needs to be encapsulated in VPN packets.

The beach after work was nice tough.

Fun fact: I setup an Iodine server for avoiding some censorship with IPoverDNS... boy.. they even have a limit for subdomains length. Didn't work in everyplace the damn IPoDNS.

If I had a company and wanted a real optimized app I'd send'em to Cuba.

A while ago I was ranting with a person while I was videochatting, the quality was super crappy, lots of frames loss, it was not a conversation at all. I thought...

The first time I did videoconferencing was with Windows Netmeeting (remember that shit?) Over a 56K modem with a real connection of 34K. And I could talk (video and audio) with my Uncle on the other side of the ocean. Yes, 320x240 resolution. But we were having a conversation.

2020 - 200Mb/s symmetrical fibber, damn WiFi. Better networking equipments in general, no noisy copper lines.

And my phone struggled to make video call. It was like 1 frame every 2/3 seconds. Not to mention the audio lagging.

WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG???

I guess what somebody here says... they don't care about the math anymore.

And I couldn't agree more with your post. My laptop has 8 cores and 16GB RAM yet Ubuntu's Gnome 3 can't make be fluid with 9 open windows. Spotify, Brave browser, Slack, and bunch of terminals. Terminals. Freaking terminals. 8 cores. 16GB RAM. Freaking terminals.

@Root Wonderful quote. I hope that such affirmation will keep running our jobs openings 😂

Wisdom here.

@devphobe actually... that commit message instead of "First commit" encourages me to git init first!
You have changed a person today sir!
Gonna start initializing my repos with that super cool message! 👌

@N00bPancakes couldn't agree more with you. Our stuff in GCP is manageable for now. If it was our main cloud... this right now could be a serious setback.

@p100sch WOW!! Didn't know that! We work with BigQuery but our data team has not encountered an issue yet. It seems Big Query is the only thing that really delivers some value in GCP (GKE is and was lit but we have so many offerings right now).

People call it the "hidden cloud gem" or diamond... Or whatever... pricy rock.

@netikras IMHO... Missing tests in some code... The kernel ring didn't spit nothing. But resolvd had a hard time starting.

@SortOfTested Thanks! I was a long time user of Gentoo so Arch seems nice nowadays. But I'll try those three recommendations you gave me.
My hardware is a Lenovo so that's a Plus!

@SortOfTested actually I'm on the verge of ditching Ubuntu, I'm open to distro recommendations...
I just want a stable Desktop.
Maybe some stable Bluetooth audio too.

Update: Gnome can't even correctly send the reboot signal. Had to go to a tty, login and reboot from there. Seriously... what went wrong at some time?

Sometimes I even don't git init until the full project is working. Guess I like living in the edge 🙈

Really nice one!

So lucky you. Since Ubuntu-era my Linux GUI experience has worsen. My +10 years old laptop with 4GB ram and embedded Intel graphics has a smoother experience with any Windows version I install in it.

Yeah, I can have "smooth" experience if I use a basic DE like Mate, XFCE or alike. But damn... is it too hard to have window effects (shadow, some title bar transparency hipster shit...) in Linux without a shitty experience?

If you are trying hard to be a better developer I'm sure you're already a good developer, and if the worse things comes to happen (firing) you'll be able to quickly find a new and BETTER job. Just an stranger that trust everything will be ok for you 🙃

You could also run a free public IP over DNS (e.g. iodine) server/service only for countries with severe sensorship. Many people will thank you.

I second @ScribeOfGoD comment in folding and add folding specifically for Covid-19

europass??

I remember pulling my hairs out while trying to render stuff in 3DSMax3 while listening to Winamp, Windows ME never handled it. A friend of mine let me a CD of some "thing" called Knoppix. I was blown away how much stuff my computer was able to do (besides rendering with Blender and playing music with {don't remember}) at the same time. A couple years later I was using Gentoo with Gnome2 and never been happier with an OS and DE. Then Ubuntu came... yaaaay Linux is more fun.. then Gnome3 came.... "wut is dis?" ... then bye bye Xserver... then pulseaudio.... then X then Y then Z... I started doing linux for a living thanks to that Knoppix CD. But nowadays I can't stand how shitty the DE part has become.

Or maybe is it the current linux kernel 5.x??
I recall having zero hardware problems with linux (56k Conexant modem included), today my browser can't recognize the microphone dual channel and the internal mic is muted. It's just sucking all in linux desktop since many years ago.

@rooter the treadmill or the Vermouth? xD

@A4Abhiraj the device in the bottle is a delicious Vermouth, the device with the red LEDs is the control for a treadmill.

@rooter! Thank you sir! You just reminded me it was about time! Cheers!
