Laughs in Penguin

Tell everyone you’re using Linux.

There’s no polite way to say this, so I’ll say it like this:

This is fucking pathetic.

Pickpockets.

🤜💥🤛

He’s just a dad.

This episode of Our Solar System is brought to you by Sac Dep Spa.

Literally the only way to do this is fire the first 3 or 4 levels of upper management.

I looked at the repo but I still don’t know what this is. Is it a game? Is it something else?

Probably a simple way without looking at ANY code is to just look at a few key points on GitHub (or GitLab or other):

Stars This is the number of people who have favourited the package. In general, if a package has more stars (500+, 1000+) it is probably good and has had a lot of people looking at it and using it. Beware packages with only a few stars (fewer than 20, but context matters.)

Forks Also look at the number forks the repo has. In general, the more forks it has, the more people in the community have contributed to it, fixing bugs, tightening security, etc. Again, the more eyes the package has on it, the higher the chance that key vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed.

Number of Contributors same reason as forks.

When last the files in the repo were updated Occasionally you’ll find a package that meets the above heuristics very well, but was only last updated 5 to 10 years ago. Avoid these as they aren’t up to date and therefore have vulnerabilities.

All these points are just rough heuristics and there will be exceptions but can generally point even experienced developers in the right direction.

Reminds me of that Michael Scott quote:

When I retire, I- I don’t want to just disappear to an island somewhere. I wanna be the guy who gives everything back. I want it to be, like “Hey, who donated that hospital wing that is saving so many lives?” “Um, well, I don’t know. It was anonymous.” “Well, guess what.” That was Michael Scott." “But it was anonymous. How do you know?” “Because I’m him.”

I don’t know. The Donald Trump Home for the Mentally Insane has a nice ring to it.

Whoa whoa whoa. Let’s not be unreasonable. That’s a god given right, that is.

I see Heretic. I upvote. I see Linux. I upvote. How to upvote twice?

What about a MAGAzine?

I bet he named the Daddy Long Legs too.

Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.

But Emily ain’t no snitch.

Life.

Veritasium.
