They have and that is why I don't do them any more. Happened a few months ago in fact. Updated one of the Debian servers for one of webapps we have running (a black box piece of shit VM that's stuck in 2010 I think)... suddenly, the app in the VM doesn't work. The VM does start, but the app doesn't work, just throws a 404. Why? Beats me, don't have time to troubleshoot. Roll back a snapshot, everything works again. Conclusion, don't update that.

See, around here, you don't keep your job by messing around with things that already work. They work, period, why did even feel the need to mess with that 🤨. If that's management's view on security, fine, so be it 🤷.

I still file reports on things not being up to date, just so that if shit hits the fan, I'm not the one taking the fall for it.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
