This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

He’s already started with the rants against the network to create the excuse for him fucking this up. Everything that doesn’t go his way is always someone else’s fault. Most toddlers are more mature and accountable.

They have burned out their own bullshit.

When every single opponent is the most radical left extremist who ever walked the face of the earth, it becomes meaningless ramblings even to their base. Just like crooked Hilary, Obama, Biden, Harris.

He’s not on the unfinished Empire State Building because the finished building is behind him.

Looks like something in midtown. Maybe Rockefeller Building?

All that I can picture is a tug o war where one side is struggling and the other side lets go, and they all fall down. Only in this video you hear pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop as the line lets go.

Wasn’t Gooch Gary Coleman’s bully on Different Strokes?

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.

How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don’t use your spot.

I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.

It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.

TIL that Linux users are a bunch of lucky crabs.

For commodity online services, you are lucky that people even give you their email address. The number of people who provide anything more is extremely low. OP is freaking out that they are emailing. If they called him on the phone, he would lose his shit.

The terms of service explicitly state that any communications and legal notices about the services will be delivered via the email address that must be verified at sign up. It is not unreasonable to ask customers to provide a valid way to send them service related messages.

Google isn’t going to call you or send you old-school paper mail when they discontinue a service. Even if they did, 99% of people would think that it was a scam.

All that being said, we will always scream test things like EOL of a service just to catch anyone who missed the communications.

Not sarcastic. I work for a provider, and we warn people of service changes a bunch of times over a period of months.

Despite this, you will still get a bunch of people complaining that they were never told, we surprised them with it at the last minute, etc.

A change that deletes customer data brings in legal as well. If one of these people tries to sue for losing their data you want to be able to show that you provided plenty of notice and warning.

Companies will often “scream test” a data loss change. Meaning you turn it off, but don’t really delete right away to see who screams that their data is gone. Anyone screaming gets some short time period to recover the data.

Or maybe you don’t install a data mining spy device in the office?
