Some code is so bad it deserves to be buried thousands of feet underground with a sign above reading: "nothing valued is here, what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us"

Also, to save yourself from nasty surprises, verify the hostname of the system you're on when you start a screen/tmux session. This tip doesn't work if you do it on your local machine instead of the remote.
Good morning, folks. Have a sysadmin tip:
When you ssh to a remote system, make it a habit to run either `screen` or `tmux` first. Always. Even for just a quick little command.
That way, when your crap ISP monopoly drops your connection for no reason whatsoever, your remote command won't be SIGHUP'd, & you can resume with `screen -r` or `tmux attach` when they decide your connection can be restored.

Apple rant: handheld computers edition
Did you know Safari on iPhone won't load a page over HTTP if even 1 subdomain of that site is HTTPS?
It gets better!
1. Instead of showing a message, it loads a completely different page & shows that to the user, leaving the user baffled.
2. It hits all the proper URLs anyway, making a liar out of the user to the website operators.
I'd have blamed the user, too, if I didn't watch it live from both ends.
