A few jobs ago, we had a fleet (2K+) of mobile inkjet and Zebra printers that we were responsible for for some ungodly reason.

The Big Blue Sledgehammer from Lowe's was the official method of decommissioning them per the IT disposal policy. That I wrote.

That's the only thing I miss about that job.

But first, can you fix my printer?

"I need it to print off the marketing flyers for the app."

I think that this line of reasoning becomes less and less tenable when things like Swagger exist.

I just wished the Lemmy API docs were better lol.

Finnegans Wake makes more sense than Lemmy API docs. Even calling it "documentation" is a stretch.

I literally had to clone the Lemmy git repo and read the source code to find the implementation of an API endpoint and see how it worked for a script that I was writing.

👍

Fantastic list, thanks.

Is this really that useful though?

It's very useful if you don't use a password manager and/or reuse passwords.

The most useful part about it to me is the API. You can tie it in to Active Directory to blacklist all hashes that appear in any breach, plus expire/force a password change if any user on your domain uses a password that has been in a breach. It completely eliminates that vector from threat actors immediately.

So yeah, I would call this intensely useful.

I've been using nothing but Linux at home and work for 20 years and it's news to me that these words are not equal synonyms.

The only people that get upset over it are those whose entire personality are based on superficial bullshit like this because they don't have a personality, or just want to feel superior to someone else, or both.

I've been using Linux professionally for a couple of decades, and using it period since it was hard to install and Slackware came in the mail on ~50 floppy disks. There is not enough "Get off my lawn" in the world for those people.

I'll call the path container whatever I damned well please.

You wouldn't download a folder

The fuck I wouldn't! I'm gonna do it now out of spite!

This is art.

I still haven't found a replacement for it.

Oh man, this takes me back...
