Mumble!

Yo dude’s so compressed, his checksum is 1! laugh track

Of course. Everyone who’s ever used a DB knows it’s BS. As long as the data is structured - which it a) is because he was able to make assertions about it and b) fucking Excel files are enough - it CAN be imported and SQL’d on. Even Excel has built in support for fuck’s sake, not to mention Python and PowerQuery.

The dude is a self-certified moron - he probably struggles with the concept of PKI, too.

Ah yes, good old TS3 and Mumble times.

Yes, that’s what I’m challenging. Who do people think they are to think their subjective opinion is objective truth?

It usually goes hand in hand with not justifying themselves because “everyone agrees it’s unacceptable”.

I guess. The way it’s formulated purposefully removes them from the statement, though.

It’s always baffling how people can define something as unacceptable. Says who? You? Who are you to just make that decision so unilaterally?

You can have your opinion, but it’s just that.

I’d love that, too. Immich has more fine grained user control on their timeline, though.

Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means “works with computers, but more than Word and Excel” for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to ‘platform engineer’ and ‘application engineer’, which I think is fitting.

All of that is fine, and they mentioned the management perspective, which I get. It was a field test and our original choice of 4001 - which is what other serial to TCP servers like us use, also in their network - was unavailable.

What irks me is the “technical impossibility” of raw TCP and “I must be wrong” when filling out their firewall change form.

They’ve since given us a different port “close to others that we use”, for whatever reason that matters, and based their choice on some list of common protocols outside the reserved range. But not 4001.

That by itself is just one thing and I wouldn’t give it a second thought, but it’s all part of a larger picture of ineptitude. They opened a ticket because an arrow at the border of our UI vanished when they screen shared on Teams. Because of the red border. And they blamed our application for it.

They didn’t set up their PKI correctly and opening our webpage on specific hosts gave the typical “go back” warning. But it was our fault somehow, even though the certificate was the one they supplied us and it was valid.

When trying to request a firewall change IT told me “ports between 1 and 1024 are reserved and can’t be used for anything else” so I couldn’t be using it for a pure TCP connection, and besides, there would have to be a protocol on top of TCP, just TCP as protocol is obviously wrong. I was using port 20 because it was already open…

Yeah but if noobs use it as a dependency, who made the package?

And what projects are noobs working on that trigger 440GB of weekly traffic?

I fear most noobs remain noobs.

Seems to me the only reason for these kind of dependencies to exist in the first place is that people really, really, really, REALLY can’t code.

The R in ARM and RISC is a lie.

Well, do you have dedicated JSON hardware?

You see, because of the stark absence of women, we kinda had to make our own.
