  • Weak one. Let’s ideate on a better version

    STOP DOING DOCKER

    • Virtualization was supposed to reduce the overhead, not create entire DevOps departments.

    • Years of containerization yet no real use over make clean; make build

    • Wanted to deploy your app in the “cloud” anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for it, it’s called rsync

    • Let’s run a virtual container in --privileged mode, so we can manage system resources from it – Statements dreamt up by utterly Deranged

    Look at what tech interviews have been demanding your Respect for all these years. (These are real documentation examples for how a simple virtualization supposedly works)

    Hello, I would like to put 20 Terabytes of “images” into my /var/lib/, please!

    They played us for absolute fools!



  • You’re like 20y late with this joke. MS runs their servers on linux nowdays.

    They already have WSL and their own Linux distro.

    Give them another 5 years and they’ll have rewritten their core to sit on top of unix and will have become a simple commercial linux distro. When buying a windows laptop you will be able to click through 5 yes/no promts, unlock the terminal and yum -S gnome-desktop to break free. No dual boot needed.

    You know what’s the worst part? M$ will be the biggest contributor to the kernel. And that’s how linux will die.








  • Would you rather spend 40h a week in a dull environment exchanging your time and mental focus for money or spend 50h in a fun and relaxed environment working on something interesting, but also having great nutrition available and with a laundry, so no more household chores for you?

    To me #1 seems like you’re stuck exchanging the best of yourself for some paycheck. #2 sounds more like fun, but also gets you your paycheck.

    If you’re at a point in your life where all you want from your job, office and colleagues is to see as little as possible of that and get as much money as you could, you need to make some serious changes.


  • I don’t think we need transformers and flying in doom tbh, but it looks like we’ll have to deal with it now.

    Otherwise this joke on a hexen reboot is the ultimate meme of the reboot. And is much more intriguing than doing “doom eternal plutonia experiment”.

    The ancient holy wars part of the lore that you read in sentinel prime is the most intriguing part of the doom guy’s story. Links back to seraphim too. Walking through sentinel prime and reading all those things I really felt like I’d like to have seen those days. Oh boy, here we come!



  • I also travel everywhere, speak English to random people in restaurants and services and expect them to understand it. Cuz they can’t possibly expect every visitor to their country to speak their language somehow?

    I always hear about obnoxious Americans traveling, speaking English to locals and being upset when they’re not understood. I’ve never really seen much of it. Usually it’s a polite “excuses me <insert phrase>”. Yes, said in English to a someone in a country where English is not the main language. Yet, what else do you expect them to do?


  • In a call center language is your main working tool. It has to be near-perfect. My experience communicating with a such “offshore call-center” was always less than subpar. And I’m not a native speaker either.

    And yet you have a foreign web developer who’d be better at waving hands than speaking English, and somehow nobody bats an eye. The web page looks great, so here’s a round of applause for our jorgi, who can’t even phrase a “thank you” back.

    Oh, and to bring the point back. Nowhere in Europe will you have non-native speakers working in a call center. Rare, very rare exceptions. And those all will speak their target language borderline perfect.
