Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I’m not being told about a meeting to take a print.

Well, my local mail service often has less lag than Teams…

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

As long as it’s not a water poodle…

So, you need a unix time value followed by 000?

That first part you can calculate with date +%s -d '2024-07-02 12:00'.

That’s just sloppiness.

The information that familiarity gives you is “WTF does this field means”, and it’s the only thing that’s actually there. How you get a value and how a value is formatted are things no amount of expertise will save you from having to tell the computer, and thus you can’t just forget about.

(And let me guess, the software recommended install is a docker image?)

Did you hear about it when that same software had that same problem on its Linux endpoint system a couple of months ago?

Well, me neither. I can’t tell how much of if is “anybody willing to use something like that will also want a Windows server” (crazy people), or “nobody that wants Linux would accept it”. Those two are not exactly the same, and I don’t know how well the auditors that keep pushing this kind of shit into companies interact with the culture.

You mean like NixOS?

It wouldn’t technically stop anything, it would just make your live Hell on Earth if you tried to add that self-updating ring-0 proprietary software in your servers.

But I guess what you are looking for is immutable infrastructure? That one would stop the problem.

It’s only marginal for running custom code. Every large organization has at least a few of them running important out-of-the-box services.

It is on the sense that Windows admins are the ones that like to buy this kind of shit and use it. It’s not on the sense that Windows was broken somehow.

Well, “don’t have self-upgrading shit on your production environment” also applies.

As in “if you brought something like this, there’s a problem with you”.

Oh, they absolutely should. A “Jarvis” would be great.

But that thing they are pushing has absolutely no relation to a “Jarvis”.

I’m just not sure what the middle guy would be saying

“I hate inheritance! I hate inheritance! I hate inheritance! I hate inheritance!”

But well, inheritance goes brrrrrr.

“Log” is the name of the place you write your tracing information into.

Let me introduce you to syslogd.

But well, it’s probably overkill, and you almost certainly just need to log on a shared volume.

The sheer number of people that do not expect a joke on this community… (Really, if you are trying to learn how to program pay attention to the one without the Humor on the name, not here.)

Well, I guess nobody expects.

That *++ operator from C is indeed confusing.

Reminds me of the goes-to operator: --> that you can use as:

while(i --> 0) {

Hum, no. The last thing I need on the world is a piece of non-working hard to maintain software.

I’d write something before trying Nextcloud again.

Personally, I’d really like if it could have different users on its management interface, with their own file shares.

It’s understandable why they don’t bother, but I would like to share my NAS without running several instances.
