Lettuce not panic. Romaine calm. This is just the tip of the iceberg. It's a problem that needs a dressing.

I'd butter not tell you my secret, cuz if my boss finds out I've been loafing around, I'd be toast!

Although as they say, no pain, no grain, so maybe he would at yeast excuse the bread puns.

The subatomic particle was speeding along the highway, and got pulled over by a cop.

"Do you know how fast you were going?" demanded the cop.

"No, but I do know my position!"

How do you make a cuttlefish laugh?  Give it ten tickles.

A soldier is bragging about his wartime experiences. He has survived both mustard gas and pepper spray. I guess he's a seasoned veteran!

My best friend was charged with stealing my dictionary.  I have no words.

Why is the doctor always so calm?  Because he has a lot of patients.

Why is the pediatrician so short-tempered?  Because he has little patients.

If it were up to me, I'd just migrate from bookworm to Devuan chimaera instead of trying to reinstall the vps. And possibly upgrade to daedalus afterwards.

Patient: Doctor, doctor, please help! I'm hurting everywhere!  See, when I touch here, and here, and here... Ouch! it hurts!
Doctor: (does full body checkup)
Patient: Well? What is it?
Doctor: You have a broken finger.

Patient: Well, then let's do it twice!

"Why is that?"

"His name was Sir Render."

Airport security found a suspicious-looking unattended suitcase.

After efforts to find the owner failed, they decided to force it open.  And lo and behold, it contained nothing but a single German sausage.

"Oh no," said the chief inspector. "This is the wurst case scenario!"

Europun Trip

Had a Danish for breakfast,
But I'm still Hungary.
Went with France to a Turkey lunch,
Paid the Czech and climbed the tower in Paris:
Eiffel and now I'm in Seine.
Saw repairman on a Poland said:
Lift me outta here, Ukraine!

The student was dozing off in English class. The teacher noticed, and snapped:

"Name two pronouns!"

The student replied groggily, "Who, me?"

Math teacher: Why are you handing in a blank sheet of paper for your assignment?

Student: Because all my answers are imaginary numbers.

"On the contrary, it was through the roof!"

Dependencies are inherently evil.  Did you know that versioned dependencies are an NP-complete problem?  As in, if you have a graph of projects that have versioned dependencies on each other, resolving these dependencies potentially require an exponential-time (or exponential-space) algorithm.  Dependency hell indeed!

In my own code projects, I prefer having no dependencies at all.  Of course, this isn't always possible; so the next best thing is shallow dependencies: those that only require 1 level of dependencies. Actually, before I even get to dependencies, my preference is single-file modules that I can just copy into my source directory and use as-is, without declaring any dependencies.  Not many things can be used this way, but when such exist, I prefer it.  Only if I have no choice, I'll go with a shallow dependency.  And of course, the fewer dependencies the better.  Recursive dependencies I try to avoid like the plague unless there's absolutely no way around it.  And I absolutely would not touch an automatic dependency system that will automatically download 500 packages in response to a single dependency on some package that's promiscuous in its recursive dependencies.  Those things are pure evil.

See also this link that describes a lot of the issues that come with dependencies, that people have been ignoring for far too long: https://research.swtch.com/deps

If OSes were cars...

Windows user: I'll install this new filter and it should run for another 2 years.

Mac user: Oh no, something in there is broken, time to buy a new car all over again!

Linux user: (stares at floor full off isolated car parts and wonders how long it will take to recompile the entire car.)

The couch potato finally found a job at the stadium that suited him. He became a common-tator.

#23 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] libhcrypto.so.4 in Devuan Daedalus? » 2024-04-05 19:14:11

That sounds dangerous. If the executable is linked against version 4 of the .so, substituting version 5 may introduce subtle errors or crashes due to ABI incompatibilities. If at all possible I'd recommend getting a new version of the executable that's linked against version 5 of the library, or compile it yourself against the right -dev package.

Sorry was too lazy to do it. Will do that next time.  My bad!

#25 Re: Other Issues » backdoor targeting deb and rpm via systemd? » 2024-04-05 18:01:21

I almost always run apt-get with --no-install-recommends, because a lot of "recommended" packages are really needless bloat that I have no need of.

After this fiasco I'm almost ready to switch to a source-only distro, which I'd configure by hand to contain the absolute minimum options I need to do what I need to do, and nothing else.  Even after getting rid of systemd too many Debian packages still come with too many things enabled by default. Mostly useless things that I never actually use.
