@mavica_again This bites me way too often on FreeBSD, too. I end up having to search for binaries and manpages post-install.
freebsd$ pkg info -l techbrotool-by-techbro-tool | grep -w -e bin -e sbin -e man
debian$ dpkg -L techbrotool-by-techbro-tool | grep -w -e bin -e sbin -e man

Just read an article detailing how Microsoft executives are confused and upset that people don't appreciate their AI features and don't like people giving them shit about them on Twitter. "How are people not impressed with this stuff?"
Fellas, have you used the internet lately? It's fucked. Have you used Windows? Fucked. It's shit. People are sick of it being shit, because it didn't used to be as shit as this. You've gone and fucked everything, that's why people aren't happy with you.

@mavica_again IKR. I love how the recommended action is also the ethically correct one.
@mavica_again There's this one in the Debian Wiki, also about as old, but for IRC specifically: https://wiki.debian.org/GettingHelpOnIrc
@mavica_again The only one I know of is the one written by the toxic ESR stream in '01 and revised until '14. His website gives me a hilarious SSL error, so here's a random GitHub fork of it instead: https://github.com/selfteaching/How-To-Ask-Questions-The-Smart-Way
@dangoodin As I.T. professionals, we have been training users to not click random shit since the internet became accessible to everyone.
Microsoft training copilot: CLICK ALL THE THINGS
Critics scoff after Microsoft warns AI feature can infect machines and pilfer data
I have a friend who prefers to stay anonymous who gives this amazing talk in non US (but allied) countries about how long their internet will -really- function if they lose all comms with American data centers and it’s… phew. It’s a thing. Some resilient ones will last a few weeks before certificates expire. But CF is a wrench.
You circular reference. You denormalized database. You sparse-ass matrix. You fragmented fucking disk. You absolute BUBBLE sort. I can keep going because, you see, I actually have a real computer science degree
I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.
Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation
* 28 days ago, AWS went down for 15 hours, taking 32% of the cloud with it.
* 20 days ago, Azure went down for 8 hours, taking 23% of the cloud with it.
* 0 days ago, Cloudflare went down for 6 hours, taking 20% of the cloud with it.
75% of the cloud, owned by 3 huge corporations with redundant global infrastructure, has a 30-day availability of two-nines or worse.
It really was a mistake for us to put 3/4 of the entire World Wide Web on exactly three of somebody else's computers.
I first ran into Cloudflare's "policy" about passing through abuse reports to the entity performing the abuse using their service when I tried to report a booter service to Cloudflare, some years ago.
I did not enjoy receiving death threats from LizardSquad for having reported them, and was very glad I had obscured my information when I did the reporting.
Cloudflare's pretense to neutrality is - and always has been - horseshit, and demonstrates the catastrophic weakness of centralized infrastructure generally.
Fun factor, if you google booter services (DDoS services), almost every major one is a Cloudflare customer. So currently, by anti-DDoS provider Cloudflare being offline, the world is a safer place.
