You know the feeling when you hate someone you never met because of the boneheaded decisions they made? Not because they didnt know better at the time but because they wanted to implemented something "cool" instead of something that would be maintainable.

I hate the guy who "invented" this horseshit. I hate him with a passion.

Finally on the way home after a release that went up in flames.
The software that was responsible is a pile of steaming shit where automated tests are not feasable. For 5 years i told everyone that this thing will fuck us up time and again. Nobody listens, as always.
Now other people are finally on my pain level and are seriously pushing for change. I hope it helps

@Archimage moar coffee :)

@wxcafe at least it is not max 8 characters

so i just flashed my vape with arcticfox custom firmware. it's absolutely unnecessary for my needs but still kinda cool.

woa, guess im gonna play the new poe league. looks awesome

new path of exile league is called betrayal rofl

@lilo like others said, in practice this won't work and users will use the reset password feature on every login - at least that's my experience.

When this happens, the password is completely useless and you simplify to a one time login link sent per email

@adz its xfce and the network-manager gui is pretty straight forward. so i assume i simply configured it the wrong way

@adz pptp or sstp, not sure which internal documentation is up to date right now.

could not get pptp to work, so maybe it's sstp, gonna try that today.

and yeah, pptp should not be very hard to get set up, all the tuts on that are actually pretty short.

@adz just a windows vpn server. But because of you asking i checked again and maybe i just tried to use the wrong vpn type. gonna try fixing it in the evening - thx

the good news is my qubes environment is shaping up nicely.

only thing i got to get working now is vpn (i'm too stupid to get a windows style vpn running on a linux client it seems)

this starts like a typical monday. o boy

@cyberpunklibrarian yeah most of the time sql server thinks things should be uselessly hard. I am most astonished how inconsistent it can be.

@thorthenorseman thor is a pretty damn bad ass name though

@cyberpunklibrarian sql server is just wonky

My place in the steelstick64 queue has been reached! :D

Gotta buy this baby, can't wait for it

@lain i think i will ask them to give a number first next time. Why should they not have the problem of guessing properly

@lain true. if they agree to your proposed salary instantly you sold yourself short.

@icanswiftabit true, have fun with your project :)
