What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?
I had to use unity game engine for one of my assignments for school, but unity wouldn't generate files needed for the language server unless I set the code editor to vscode. I fixed this by creating a bash script with the path /usr/bin/code that opens neovim in konsole.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
konsole -e "nvim $@"

April Fools Day is the dumbest holiday in existence
For me, the thing i find most annoying about april fools are the days afterwards. I don't know if a piece of recently uploaded media is actually real or satire until I check the date its uploaded.

NASA leveled by Trump
I seriously don't understand why he is doing this. Isn't trump friends with eslong musk? The way i'm seeing this is cutting the budget for nasa would only go against elon. If he wanted to save money, then he should have just cut military spending.

Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
Reply in thread
heres the entire article
Latest Crowdstrike Update Issue: Many Windows users are experiencing Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors due to a recent CrowdStrike update. The issue affects various sensor versions, and CrowdStrike has acknowledged the problem and is investigating the cause, as stated in a pinned message on the company's forum.
Who Have Been Affected
Australian banks, airlines, and TV broadcasters first reported the issue, which quickly spread to Europe as businesses began their workday. UK broadcaster Sky News couldn't air its morning news bulletins, while Ryanair experienced IT issues affecting flight departures. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all Delta, United, and American Airlines flights due to communication problems, and Berlin airport warned of travel delays from technical issues.
In India too, numerous IT organisations were reporting in issues with company-wide. Akasa Airlines and Spicejet experienced technical issues affecting online services. Akasa Airlines' booking and check-in systems were down at Mumbai and Delhi airports due to service provider infrastructure issues, prompting manual check-in and boarding. Passengers were advised to arrive early, and the airline assured swift resolution. Spicejet also faced problems updating flight disruptions, actively working to fix the issue. Both airlines apologized for the inconvenience caused and promised updates as soon as the problems were resolved.
Crowdstrike's Response
CrowdStrike acknowledged the problem, linked to their Falcon sensor, and reverted the faulty update. However, affected machines still require manual intervention. IT admins are resorting to booting into safe mode and deleting specific system files, a cumbersome process for cloud-based servers and remote laptops. Reports from IT professionals on Reddit highlight the severity, with entire companies offline and many devices stuck in boot loops. The outage underscores the vulnerability of interconnected systems and the critical need for robust cybersecurity solutions. IT teams worldwide face a long and challenging day to resolve the issues and restore normal operations.
What to Expect:
-A Technical Alert (TA) detailing the problem and potential workarounds is expected to be published shortly by CrowdStrike.
-The forum thread will remain pinned to provide users with easy access to updates and information.
What Users Should Do:
-Hold off on troubleshooting: Avoid attempting to fix the issue yourself until the official Technical Alert is released.
-Monitor the pinned thread: This thread will be updated with the latest information, including the TA and any temporary solutions.
-Be patient: Resolving software conflicts can take time. CrowdStrike is working on a solution, and updates will be posted as soon as they become available.
In an automated reply from Crowdstrike, the company had stated:
CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor. Symptoms include hosts experiencing a blue screen error related to the Falcon Sensor. The course of current action will be - our Engineering teams are actively working to resolve this issue and there is no need to open a support ticket. Status updates will be posted as we have more information to share, including when the issue is resolved.
For Users Experiencing BSODs:
If you're encountering BSOD errors after a recent CrowdStrike update, you're not alone. This appears to be a widespread issue. The upcoming Technical Alert will likely provide specific details on affected CrowdStrike sensor versions and potential workarounds while a permanent fix is developed.
If you have urgent questions or concerns, consider contacting CrowdStrike support directly.

its because the meme sneakily saying more holes (volume) = more holes (percentage), then using transitivity of equality. This equality isn't allowed since the units doesn't match.

types in C are pretty weird
int *a can be read as
*a is a inta is a pointer to intint *a, b is read as
*a and b are inta is a pointer to int and b is a intbool getofmylawn(Lawn lawn)
getoffmylawn(Lawn lawn) is a boolgetoffmylawn is a function that takes a Lawn and returns a boolAnd then you have function pointers
bool (*foo(int a))(float b)
(*foo(int a))(float b) is a bool*foo(int a) is a function from float to boolfoo(int a) is a function pointer from float to boolfoo is a function that takes a int and returns a function pointer from float to boolreally weird in my opinion.
