Need to make a primal scream without gathering footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh facts of Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
@dgerard @Soyweiser I thought we were SREs now. At least, the message for years was āSysadmins are useless shit now because they arenāt software engineers and hell, they donāt even call themselves engineersā.
a euphemism treadmill of ākeeping shit workingā
@dgerard Sometimes I feel like a hospital doctor whoās worked in the clap clinic for decades and has had a series of name badges starting with āVenereal Diseaseā and passing through āSpecial Clinicā on the way to āSexual Health Clinicā. Same thankless job, just different labels.
Same basic lessons, tooā¦ āconsider the risks of giving root privileges to people you just metā, etc.
I donāt feel like any great shakes as a sysadmin, then I encounter someone with the same job title who has clearly never used a command line before
