Can’t be late if you celebrate pride every month
I take my shitposts very seriously.

You must be running Debian because goddamn, this joke is stale and outdated.
No, actually, that’s where the dinglebop comes from. Dongfish used to be selectively bred for dinglebop-rich dillsacks, farmed in inhumane conditions, and killed with most of the fish going to waste. Modern farming methods use a small incision on the scungle to attach a catheter to the rumpleflap (not shown on the picture) where excess dinglebop would be excreted anyway.
If it’s going to be your problem no matter what, start making offline backups of your email account, and print out the email conversation where the bossmang rejected the fix. Make sure your HR rep is present on every meeting, even especially if it makes the people uncomfortable.
(this assumes that you live in a place where employee protection laws exist, i.e. it might not work in America)
True zen is achieved when you realize it’s not your problem. Even better when the thing eventually breaks and you can be smug about it.
Some required network services were located off-site. It could’ve been done in a secure way, but don’t expect such considerations from the company described above. It’s still better than the many XP and Win2000 production machines with the same internet access.
I can’t say a lot because of confidentiality, but if you had seen the factory around the time I quit, having a Win10 computer with internet access would’ve been the least of your concerns. If we had OSHA here, that building would’ve kept them busy for a week.
don’t you dare restarting that computer
We had two desktop PCs on the factory floor doing server stuff for a lot of assembly machines. We couldn’t move them to proper hardware or virtualize them because the GUI and the server were built as one monolithic application (I still don’t trust any Japanese company’s developers as a result), so one computer was made the primary server for one half of the factory and the fallback for the other half, and vice versa, to solve the reliability issues stemming from the software’s dogshit design.
What it couldn’t solve was Windows’ dogshit design. One early Monday morning, when we switched on the factory, Windows decided to force-update itself, then failed and bricked both computers. We spent half the shift with our thumbs up our asses periodically checking if tech support bothered to show up yet.
My previous work used two mission-critical software for continuous operation.
One was some guy’s university project written in Object Pascal and PHP and largely untouched since 2006. I tried offering fixes (I also knew Pascal), but I was rejected every time because the cumulative downtime caused by software issues was not enough to justify the downtime caused by the update (obviously this was determined by a Middle Manager (derogatory)).
The other was (I shit you not) an Excel spreadsheet with 15000 lines and 500 columns. I tried making a copy and cleaning it up, but Excel couldn’t handle the amount of data and ran out of memory.
From Divinity Original Sin 2 co-op. Not my campaign, but I was wheezing for five minutes from this:
“So are we the bad guys?”
“I don’t know, but I’m about to kill her with her own dad.”
All fun and games until Officer Fulton calls in a skyhook
“Honey, the children are fighting again! Can you bring their pacifiers?”
4D chess move: you can’t have an edge case if every case is an edge case
mononoki but only because the Doom Emacs config I followed when I switched to Linux used it.
If the hunters and gatherers don’t want to die, why are they made of fertilizer?
NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for staying more than ONE VERSION behind
Joke’s on you, my servers are largely unaffected by regreSSHion because they’re too outdated.
Altyn Tuu. Technically they’re located in Russia, but belong to the Altai ethnic group, so I’m counting them.
Regicide.
Just… don’t install the update?
…oh right, you don’t actually own your computer under Windows.
Evil for evil’s sake is boring and lame
