ok, confession time

when my boy was younger, he used to love minecraft, so I ran a minecraft server for him off one of my many linux boxen :chord:

so for whatever reason i had to reboot that machine and the kids were playin on it, and there was some guy making like just a ton of melons, idk why, every 5 seconds on the server console it was like "so and so created 10 melons"

so i hollered down at my son that i was gonna play a joke on them and to just go along with the gag, and i said as the server "SON YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT ALL THESE MELONS! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THATS IT, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE SERVER DOWN IF YOU CAN'T STOP WITH THE MELONS"

and there was a silence and then the kid was like "im sorry about the melons sir, i didn't know'

anyway then i rebooted the server and the boy eventually told them it was a joke so no harm done just some lighthearted minecraft shenannigans.

who was that boy? melon musk

his life up until this point has been a careful scheme to get back at you. one day, when you least expect it, he will put his hand on the plug and with a dastardly grin yank the power source to another twitter datacenter, with you none the wiser probably

I'm worried the job market is going to get tight in this field in the future, and it's going to squeeze me out. Which is really frustrating since this is all I have ever wanted to do for a living, and I don't want to end up getting phased out from people who only try to do this for the $.

I have a lot of points to make and I will make them later.
some people have a theory of everything, and some people just have theories about everything. I've always though zizek was in that latter category and wrote him off as a charlatan.

One night I was driving home from the bar. It was 2AM and I'd had too much too drink. I thought it'd be OK given how late it was, I didn't think anyone would be out.

I was just about home when I heard this HUGE thunk. "gently caress gently caress gently caress I'm hosed". I pulled over and stepped out to check the damage, hoping I'd just hit a person or something.

It was bad. Case was all mangled up, wires hanging out everywhere, bits of CPU all over the pavement. Didn't know an IO shied could bend that much. I couldn't even find the PSU.

I didn't stop to see if this thing would post. I just picked up what I could and stuffed it into one of those big IKEA bags I keep in the car, drove down to the river and dumped it.

When I got home i realised i stank of corsair hydro x coolant so i stripped off, chucked my clothes in the washer and hit the showers. Told my wife I bumped the car into a parking meter

i dont really understand 99% of what people say in the bad programming or linux threads

my linux experience is mostly piping in random ascii into cowsay and chuckling

the worst programmingf ive done is accidentally spell time "tiem" and spent 3 days trying to figure out why a program was broken

I mean, you can probably fake it pretty easily, it's not that difficult of a language. Experience is mostly just learning all the weird quirks that crop up here and there. Should use typescript most of the time anyhow.
