bunch of porn just got blessed

Gives me Warhammer 40k vibes of the Cult Mechanicus, where they are so backwards and conservative with their culture, rather than learn and innovate, they prefer to worship tech as an unknowable knowledge given by God, anointing their computers with oils and prayers instead of actually fixing the issues.

Whoever came up with the Mechanicus must have worked in IT/mechanics before because after 14 hours on what should have been a 10 minute fix, you start thinking the machine took one of your curses personally.

I see it as beneficial to the mechanicum. Ritual ensures proper maintenance and assembly.

Satan:

# systemctl daemon-reload

That also loads 14 other processes, including watchers that restart the process if you stop it. None of them are named anything like the main process, so you'll never find them.

Oh, and also floods logs with useless messages until you run out of disk space.

Satan don't play soft.

Is that bishop Dziwisz? He once saved Cracow from a flood using magic bones. He packs some potent spells.

Hey, so I wasn't that weird as a kid.

I don't know at what event that happens, but at certain times people go to a church and get bunch of things blessed. Bread, bibles, crucifixes, rosary beads, etc

Well, I brought in a calculator. Didn't help, I am still bad at math.

This is basically the job of John Deere's technicians

Except they charge $250/hr

Okay honest question, what does the # actually do? Every time I try and use it (fedora 42), it just doesn't run

[–] NoFood4u@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 months ago

It's just a convention. commands starting with $ are meant to be executed by a user. commands starting with # are meant to be executed by root.

# indicates a comment in shell scripts, it's interpreted the same way on a command line. That's why it's doing nothing. In this case, the # isn't part of the command though. It's to indicate that it's a root shell. You'd see $ for a regular not-root shell. It's part of that bit of text with your username, hostname, and current directory (with most default shell configurations, look up the PS1 Bash variable) that comes before the command you're typing.

We had to pray for the outcome of a project before we could start at one customer. That customer also had some feng shui come in to make sure their toilets didn't disrupt the flow of energy in the office. There are a lot worse ways to "invest" some money in the business world,

It worries me that I know who exactly this priest is just by looking at the back of his head
