A co-worker got me to post next to another workers *thing* making it look like I was destroying the entire *thing*. This was meant to go to the co-worker. It went on reddit. I found it today. Not sure if I should murder him first and get the mods to take it down or get him to take it down, then murder him.

E: Got the mods to take it down and told him that if he does that again he's getting fired, because my bosses had already seen it. loving newbies man.

Sorry I was still in mad hate mode.

A co-worker lied to me and told me that it'd be funny if a co-worker thought i was breaking a thing they'd given me to fix (personal, rather than work related). He took a picture and said he'd send it over to them. Turns out he never sent it to them, he posted the picture on reddit, posted a quote that never happened making me look like a dumb rear end in a top hat and you could quite clearly identify me in the picture.

I'm not a massive fan of dumb poo poo that I do appearing online for a variety of reasons, so i've had to yell at him for being an idiot.

Well I apparently never looked at the sort man page to know it had a -h option, and using du -h messes up the sorting.

So I just looked at the bottom of the results and did a rough conversion in my head. :v:

'sort' now has -h which will sort the files by the human readable file size:

No it doesn't. du -sh calculates the total for the current directory, and shows a single line item, du -sh * would be much closer, but still is still way uglier.

Your command seems to miss "hidden" files that 'du -sh *' catches. I might have my globbing set to see hidden files and that might not be default, though.

Or just use du -sh * since that unusual situation is one time that would be superior.

I hate the Monday morning meetings here. 90% of them could be an email, and they feel like I'm back in junior high.

Actually, anything that involves interacting with my department head makes me hate this job. Imagine the stereotypical HR lady. That's her. She talks all about the company's mission statement and cultural values and polices peoples' language to a ridiculous extent. The money is great, but I don't know if I would stay here even if they offered me a permanent position.

just spent my morning dealing with one of the head-scratchiest e-mail chains.
Here is the synopsis:
"Hey I was messing with the build server and I can't send jobs to Jenkins anymore did you change anything?"
"No"
"I think you broke it"
"No" repeat 3 times
"I changed the IP back to the one it had originally and it works thanks!"

This guy was asking me to update security groups in AWS and check network routes and getting huffy I wouldn't do it. I'm glad they figured it out after they CC'd in my big boss and their big boss and I kept telling them I didn't break it.... I even sent him to the change management page I keep for our Jenkins that has all the tickets for recent changes to the system.

# ? Nov 7, 2016 17:24

MC Fruit Stripe: Nov 26, 2002; around and around we go

Well to be fair, anything that broke it wouldn't have been in a ticket because it would have been a "oh come on, this couldn't break anything, let's slot this one in" change.

Speaking though of changing IPs, I am shocked by how often someone in our environment changes an IP, often to another subnet entirely, and is then confused why the server stopped working. Everything is blocked unless we have an ACL for it, so you can't just change an IP and expect it to work unless you've been parsing an ASA config, yet once a month a server drops off the map and we have to explain why their application broke.
