We'll never have anything like the DVD screensaver ever again
(files.catbox.moe)
The DVD screensaver was perfect: unobtrusive and did what it was supposed to do: prevent your CRT screen from burning-in an image. On top of that, it gave you something to look forward to when it would perfectly hit a corner (which some people thought was a myth; sadly the GIF version does not).
Now, any screen in your home is fair game for intrusive ads. Why make something simple, elegant, functional, and unobtrusive when that otherwise idle (or even in-use!) screen can be crammed with ads.

Name a better way to control your music remotely. I dare you. (This is really how I play my music when I'm in my workshop 😆)

In case you thought I was joking...
mplayer handles filesystem wildcards beautifully. This is playing anything by STP in any subfolder of my main "Music" directory. I use wildcards between words because it's lazier than escaping the spaces.

When I receive a PR that's "co-authored" by Claude...

From "Star Trek Picard: Firewall"
Still on TrekLit and out of my re-watch schedule, so trying to make some jokes from that.
Edit: Added alt text.
Because if we don't build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will
For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I've had to venture out into Go (I can't stand working in Python).
Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.
I work with several people who would think this is a good idea.
When they push it to prod, and our WAF goes 403 on every request, then suddenly it's my problem to "fix".
The only thing worse than that is emailing them a simple boolean question and then your phone rings.
I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a ~~little~~ lot inside when I learned that.
No/Low-Code: Letting people who don't know what they're doing half-ass things poorly without understanding the first thing about it and leaving them completely incapable of fixing it when something goes wrong and then pissing off actual developers when they have to go into the Playskool interface to fix it.
Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn't require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).
Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.
Assuming you mean SSH for file transfer? Material Files supports SFTP, and I use it to connect via SSH to my machines to transfer files.
As long as Lennart Poettering isn't anywhere near the line of succession lol.
Can't forget its pseudo-predecessor America's Funniest Home Videos and all of the guys recording themselves getting kicked/hit in the groin to try to win $10,000.
