I am always having this problem when chromium updates itself in the background. Or rather, when snap updates it in the background, because I am using the Ubuntu version. So that screen usually just means it's time to restart chromium to me.

Looks like it needs at least one more.

And 31 pull requests. Also, thanks to looking at that project TIL Python has static types now.

Python has static types now
I am not sure it deserves to be called that. Because documentation says:
Note: The Python runtime does not enforce function and variable type annotations. They can be used by third party tools such as type checkers, IDEs, linters, etc.

>>> def TakeFiveAndReturnHelloWorld(the_number_five: 5) -> 'Hello, world!': return [the_number_five, 'to', 'sender'] >>> TakeFiveAndReturnHelloWorld('bemusement') ['bemusement', 'to', 'sender']

Amazing. The shiny, modern SPA website. The developer praise. Three pricing tiers.
I’m not convinced this isn’t real.Oh, oh, oh… I completely forgot to mention the “WHERE’S YOUR GOD NOW, @KAZITOR” color scheme.
Several identical colors that somehow have different RGB values? How did you even notice?
I can only see like 5 colors.

@Bulb Well, it has them. It doesn't use them, but it has them.

Yes, I'm sure that's the correct e-mail address...

In VSCode, the default shortcut for "toggle Git annotations" is Ctrl+Shift+G B. Two consecutive letters, yes. That's not the WTF part, many advanced, not-that-oft-used features in many IDEs have consecutive letters shortcuts.
The WTF is how this particular one is defined. You see, Ctrl+Shift only applies to the first letter. So in order to execute it, you have to hold modifier keys, press G, release modifier keys, and then press B. On a scale from 1 to 10, this scores negative 5 in usability. It's like they didn't think anyone will actually bother using it so it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's something - although I don't quite get why it had to be something if nobody would use it. And no, there's no conflict with another feature - Ctrl+Shift+G Ctrl+Shift+B is unassigned.

I was too far away from the remote for a second when YouTube advertisement started, so I caught a glimpse of it before I could skip / mute it. That glimpse was enough to make me go WTF is this, so I actually watched two fucking minutes of advertisement.
Seriously, what the absolute fuck, all of this is CGI sci-fi bullshit and lies. Nothing in this is not completely made up!Oh, and YouTube bonus wtf: when I went to YouTube to search that specific ad again to post it here, of course YouTube made me watch a different forced ad first before I could watch the voluntary ad.

@topspin Is this Theranos?

@Gribnit’s rambling actually just made me really understand @Applied-Mediocrity’s post.

@topspin TRWTF are the comments. The top one is the classic misinterpretation of the classic Benjamin Franklin quote about liberty and safety, which isn't even relevant in either interpretation.

It’s certainly dystopic that sci-fi fantasy gets served as product ads, but at least their fantasy seems better than our reality.

Had to factory reset a couple of Ubiquiti switches since they got lost in an attempted migration to a new IP scheme and we couldn't get them to reconnect to the old controller or respond to the SSH password we thought they were configured for.
Trying to find the documentation was a nightmare.
- Tons of Ubiquiti forums threads of "how do I reset" "press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds" "no that didn't work" "oh wait I got it now" with no follow up of what actually worked for them.
- Found a more comprehensively written blog that purported to explain the process better, they called out "it won't reset if it's powering stuff POE, unplug everything first, then do the button thing"
- Found another one that basically said to do a 15-15-15 reset (15 seconds holding the button, unplug it while still holding the button, leave it unplugged for 15 seconds, then keep holding the button and plug it back, release button after 15 seconds).
Turned out most of the problem I was having with it "not resetting" was that I misread the configuration of the upstream switch and the trunk port wasn't allowing the switch to communicate on the management network, so it had probably reset correctly the first time with just the plain 5 second push. OK, so hard part's over, right?
NOOOOOOOOOOPE.
These switches aren't really direct manageable, you have to adopt them into a web controller to do anything with them. But now we have the full up Ubiquiti Cloud Key appliance for the new controller, it'll be easier. Well, except it's not, because when you press the "Adopt" button, the controller looks at the firmware on the switch and says "eeeeew, that's out of date", and tells the switch to update. But then when the switch updates and reboots, the controller goes "hey wtf where did you go why u no talk to me" and then shrugs and says, "Adoption Failed, bitch, guess you can't manage that switch". At which point you have to factory reset the switch AAAAGAIN in order to start the whole damn process over again.
At least the second switch went smoothly after I burned an hour on the first. Yeesh. Give me a Cisco switch's password recovery process any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Fuckin' hate that aspect.

At least the factory reset didn't flush the firmware update, right?

@izzion: next time your network hardware gives you trouble, tell it "behave, or I'm calling @Tsaukpaetra. And his resets won't be as gentle as mine".

I haven't seen a TheyTube ad in years. uBlock Origin is pretty good at killing them with extreme prejudice.

Unfortunately, while “smart” TVs have to get software updates every 12 hours like a Windows machine, they don’t allow you to install ad blockers. And router based blocking doesn’t work well on YouTube afaik.
-
@topspin also IME the ads on the YouTube TV app are way less annoying than YouTube on desktop or mobile.
If the ads on desktop were more like the ads on the TV app, I wouldn't have them blocked on desktop.
-
@topspin That's why I don't use the smart of the TV but instead connect the notebook to it and use the TV as a monitor – even for actual TV since I've got the IPTV service with the internet.
-
@Bulb that has a lot of barrier to keep plugging in a notebook every time I use it.
-
@topspin Get something to keep plugged in instead. For me it's more to test the Pi, because that notebook is lying next to the TV almost all the time anyway.

All Linux updating operations should automatically execute under screen. I just hosed a machine that runs a client's digital signage because I had SSH'd into it yesterday to run updates and this morning the apt process was still running which means that it was probably wanting something confirmed in the abandoned session. Rebooting hosed everything and now someone has to go there and restore from backup.
Yes, I know I should always use screen for stuff like that but far too often I think:

For a long time I hadn't seen any at all, but recently I've been having the odd pre-roll ad show up before a video every once in a while. At least so far they haven't auto-played, and the "Skip ad" button comes up every time.

@hungrier At one time, in the lead-up to an election (2012?), ABP was blocking normal ads, but some political ads were getting through. How?

@HardwareGeek All of them, or just one party?
