That was the joke 😅

But here it is (I think?): https://xkcd.com/979/

rsync to an rsync.net account, serves me well

The site: https://thestopbits.net/

My colleague uses it to generate rambling code, often pointlessly rewriting existing logic to solve all kinds of hallucinated problems, which he doesn't understand a bit, then dumps it on me and acts offended when asked to explain any of it.

Chaotic neutral here

I cycle wallpapers from different OSes, but never the one running. Work W11 laptop has the Debian wallpaper now, OpenBSD laptop the Windows 10 backlit glass one, etc

(I do the same with game character names)

Thanks for reminding me of that comic! Took me some time to find it though

 perl

    
# We check if the server is on by asking the ALU to perform an operation,
$result = 1 + 1;

if ($result == 2) {
    print "Server is ON.\n";
} else {
    print "Server is OFF.\n";
    print "Power on the system before attempting to run any programs!\n";
}

  

Brilliant

"Never again" is stronger than I'd put it but we probably won't be vacationing in France again because god forbid a guy doesn't want to eat animals.

Edit: for some positivity, I loved every trip to Germany and also Austria, the latter so much in fact that we went to live in Vienna for a short time. If not for my partner I'd move right back.

Even when you get to the actual website results you now have to wade through the AI slop sites

Portable handhelds, I mean form factors like the PSP and Nintendo DS. The downside of the console/handheld convergence is that the handhelds need pretty big screens.

I still occasionally play it on my PS Vita, tough but satisfying game

Three oliebollen, what a delightful start to a depressing day at the office!

man, but preferably BSD ones. They're terrific. It pays to get comfortable with the pager (man less), but for web rendering, https://man.openbsd.org/ is great. I don't know why these other man sites use monospace fonts, the language man pages are written in was literally made for quality typesetting!

Games and YouTube!

In my 'office' room, I have an Xbox 360, Xbox One X, PlayStation 3, 4 and Wii U hooked up to an HDMI switch to one of my monitors. When not working I'll play games on that monitor, preferably something a little mindless or grindy like a racing game, platformer or Diablo, while half watching YouTube videos on the other. Digital Foundry, Practical Engineering, documentaries, that sort of stuff.

That's for now at least, some other time I'll be into a programming project or something else.

There are airplane and bus spotters too. I don't think it weird though, people geek out about all kind of things. Trains are cooler than cars anyway ^_
