But it caches the online credentials, so it's not like it breaks functionality of the local account. Aside from :tinfoil:, you are purely gaining functionality from the online account.

Status: currently in the latter half of some bug that feels like a really bad hangover for 1.5 days, followed by a really bad hangover plus about 50% for another 1.5 days (or so... I hope...).
And no, it's not a hangover.

Well darn it would have been impressive.

@Tsaukpaetra I have had hangovers that lasted for 2 or 3 days. This definitely isn't one.
Anyway, the nausea pattern is reversed for an actual hangover.

Status: Oh, thanks Edge for allowing me to ask you to stay out of my face. I can foolishly hope it will remain this way, or lie in wait for when it pops up again sometime later...
I keep getting something similar when I dbl-click html files. (ok, not every time, maybe every 3rd or 4th) Yes, dammit, keep fucking using Chrome and stop fucking asking me which app to use. Yes, I fucking clicked the fucking checkbox.

The browser vendors are becoming more and more brazen about shilling their crap. Both Microsoft and Google are guilty of that.
Everything is like that nowadays. Windows shoves Cortana, Bing, Edge and Candy Crush (seriously) in your face. Google uses their ads to tell you to install Chrome and Android to push their movies and music store that I couldn't care less about. iOS doesn't even pretend to care about choice, you'll use iTunes and iCloud and you'll like it.
I thought the age of built-in crapware was almost done, but no, it just moved a level up the chain.

you know which browser doesn't come bundled with crapware like that?
Or should I say, which VERSION of a certain browser....

I've always hated that saying. Not because it's not technically false, but that people usually use it to justify more spending.

Status: I just found my God function. It's called "PostProcessing" and, depending on whether the request was a
GET
,POST
and what particular things were given, it may do one of about four major things, including file retrieval, update, erasure, record updating, record status changing, record listing, and a few other things.I probably could have done it a different way, but at the time I couldn't figure out how to get ASP.Net's MVC router to accept POSTs to different actions properly in the WebAPI controllers (actually, I think it's still a little bit of voodoo).

Status: On today's episode of Who Let the SA Program?
_parsedLine = string.match(/* ugly match code that nets out to (protocol)://(hostip):(port) */) _resource = ko.utils.arrayFirst(_resources,function(curResource){ return curResource.ip == parsedLine[2]; }); if ( !_resource ) { _resource = { ip: parsedLine[2], /* other instantiation */} } /* do other things to populate _resource object with information from this line */ _resources.push(_resource);
Hm, it works fine when I throw it
tcp://1.2.3.4:80 tcp://2.3.4.5:80
But it gives me three duplicate entries when I throw in
tcp://1.2.3.4:* udp://1.2.3.4:* icmp://1.2.3.4:*
Now why would it... oh, hell

Status: Apparently our codebase has over a million LOC. Maybe a million and a half, if you count the things in C# and C++.
I may have managed a way to start getting rid of <redacted>, our proprietary language where that first million or so lines are, by translating it to C#.

Oh shit. I just did a
find . -name '*.cpp' -print | xargs wc
1,316,421 lines. It does include some stuff we don't directly use (or use at all), but still... Add in another 642113 lines of .c files. And I don't want to know about headers...

Only a 'created' line. Pretty sure this company has always had source control. Not always the same one... (yeah, we're git too.)
(I know
wc
is a beyond-sucky way of determining LOC)

find . -name '*.cpp' -print | xargs wc -l
Edit:
One might even argue you missed several arguments.
Did you mean:find . -name '*.cpp' -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l

Status:
So I don't think I mentioned this, but I got sucked into doing carpet installation with my uncle again, back around the start of June. Today I told him I'm quitting and he has two weeks to find a replacement.
I don't have a job to go to next yet. I'm just...not willing to put up with <things> any more, and put my life on hold to help someone who won't do what they're supposed to. Helping him get back on his feet is the entire reason I took this job (first and second time), but despite him going through motions (again and again), I'm no longer convinced he's going to follow through anytime soon. He's started a new cycle of that for the obvious reason, and asked me to give him more time. I told him I'd re-evaluate at the end of two weeks…but I'm pretty sure the answer is still going to be "I quit". And I don't think he's going to be prepared for it, despite the warning. Fun times are ahead /s.
I'm still not properly prepared to get the type of job I want (personal time management is not yet a strength of mine), but I'm closer than I was, and hope I'll get something by the end of the year, hopefully sooner.

Every version of
wc
I can recall seeing will print the count of characters, words and lines when invoked without options, so he could well have gotten the count with the command as written.INB4 a completely different meaning of WC.
-
@HardwareGeek git's version of wc. Since I didn't know xargs arguments (lazy), I actually redirected into a file and then totalled the multiple total lines. The .c files did it in one take.

Status: Wow that was frickin un-obvious. Renewing client certificate for OpenVPN client. Turns out that CA was using a new public CA cert and Intermediate cert. Spent two hours generating keys, requests, and all the rest before discovering this.
If only there was a way to show metadata in a certificate without having to split them into individual files...
Well, at least I won't need to worry about it until 2019. By then I hope someone would have made an auto-renewing client for this service...

Sorry, forgot to put a trolleybus. But still, it wasn't obvious what the problem was because until I looked at the old cert and new cert side-by-side, everything looked perfectly cromulent.
Filed under: Wow, I think that's the first time I used that word correctly
