they don't avoid it cause the hostility , they avoid it case we live in this high level era , where nobody knows where code runs or how it runs.

I love slack , but they gotta get their game together , this year I have personally seen around 4 or 5 outages, what annoys me the most is the way the app fails, it simply greys out text that you just sent , images take forever to upload (if they ever upload) , i think if you gonna have this many outages maybe build something into the UI

I've contributed to a number of things during my time working with computers , unfortunately it has always been commits that fix things that stop me moving forward. nothing major.

I worked in a big bank in the UK using monorepo "cuz Google uses it", error number 1, your not Google. The clones were gigantic, Jenkins would timeout cloning the whole project when all it needed was a bunch of files. Merge conflicts all over the place, but the best part, we had scripts on our pipeline literally removing folders after cloning the repo to avoid automatic inclusions of libs etc. In my opinion separation of boundaries is one of those things that should t be mess with.

Monorepos with Git don't play together nicely. Perforce is key if you have lots of devs on a monorepo.

I met him around 2002 , he was nuts already . He says shit he would've gotten away in the early days of the internet but he doesn't now . He hasn't change much to be fair it's just now what he says gets echoed in social networks.

privacy aside , how about internal hosted zones and stuff that isn't resolvable by TLDS or CCTLDS?

Remember when Linux was hard to install and run as desktop ( multiple screens , acpi , sound , winmodems ) ?? We all have had this colleague that gets frustrated and installs windows after 10 minutes , And spends the rest of his life saying that Linux is of fanatics , geeks etc . Well this post it's literally the same .

xeyes isn't obscure , how else do you test that ssh x forwarding works otherwise :)

Exactly! though I used xclock. A former co-worker used to always have xeyes open on his desktop to easily find his cursor. Maybe I'm getting old...

xeyes is also a great way to tell if you're in a Wayland session. If it tracks your mouse always, it's X. If it only tracks in its own window, it's Wayland.

Glad to know I’m not the only one! That and glxgears.

Exactly. Glxgears was (at least traditionally) how you tested whether your video driver was using any of the 3D acceleration!

I use xlogo for that and similar purposes; it’s even more minimalistic in its functionality than xeyes.

Ha! Yes! I used to call xeyes a network testing tool.

When my kids were infants, they loved xeyes.

launch an xterm, smh, kids ^^) /s

Nah, big brother must keep watching ;).

dont you dare!
