Upcoming Change: NTLM Removal in Git (libcurl) – Impact to Azure DevOps Server Customers https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/upcoming-change-ntlm-removal-in-git-libcurl-impact-to-azure-devops-server-customers/

x86 must be some social experiment by the alcohol lobby to increase whiskey consumption amongst developers

Regex was made so programmers could plop an 80 character regex in the middle of their code and write a single comment over it containing simply ":3"

who needs parsers when you can just chain grep calls?

[subpost] No don't fav my misery @littlefox (/lh)

[osdev] so uh I asked in a room with people that understand what they're doing and the first response I got was "finally, qemu or CPU bug" ...oops

> Diese globale Option veranlasst den Problemlöser, gehaltene Pakete beim Treffen von Entscheidungen zu ignorieren. > - apt.conf(5)

Why *is* the GCC logo a cracked egg?

Is there even a word for a bug that just started happening randomly, completely bricks the entire program and is present every vcs snapshot (even previous *known good* versions)??

[osdev] `iret` was made to spite me

"You're a commercial user of libcurl who use it for free and you ask a volunteer to fix your problem on his spare time?" Sometimes I need to say it.

[osdev] We are now compiling a two month old version of qemu I had lying around to see if it's an emulator regression.

You can shrink your wyvern down to shoulder sized for convenient carrying

Every path leads to the page fault

[osdev] At this point, emulation bug or x86 weirdness are equally likely

> This instruction throws a page fault when a page fault occurs

swishes my big scaly fucking tail

> Goto statements lead to spaghetti code Nonsense, the spaghettiness of the dragon's code doesn't show any meaningful difference between the control and the goto-group, therefore it must have no effect

Never underestimate the weird hack in the legacy system

escape… the backrooms!!

You know it's a good project when you ask them which architecture they're going to base it off of and they say 'yes'

Isn't it weird that everyone calls it 'DELTARUNE' (uppercase) while the logo is in lowercase? #deltarune

*paws at clock* cmon, go faster! *more pawing*

deltarune...less than a day away...

You know it's a good network when the Terms and Conditions page returns a 404

important census

when you enter a groupchat and it's full of reptiles

I like how the limine template has a function called "hcf" (halt and catch fire) that just does ```c while (true) { } ``` very useful function, can't complain (not even joking)

[osdev] AAAAAAAAAAAA something is spamming IRQ2 and I have no idea what it is

Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing goes out. ​:neofox_3c:​

[osdev, most insightful comment ever] ```c // random intel docs told me this was possible ```

[osdev] at the point where the timer (HPET) produces lots of interrupts...problem is I can't change the frequency

[osdev] Stupid EOI, I always forget that...

Is there a term for a bug that only happens *when you start debugging*?

[osdev] They exclusively made this standard to spite me in particular

furries :3

[osdev] triple fault,,,

Forget test suites being executed in CI/CDs, we should start running them every time the program is started

> This specification specifies a datastream and an associated file format, Portable Network Graphics (PNG, **pronounced "ping"**) ???

[osdev] I wrote a whole driver manager thingy that would allow PS2 keyboards that are not on the standard ports just for my detection logic being wrong and the keyboard ending up on 0x60 (i.e. the standard port) again!

debugging a program compiled with -O3 is like peeking behind the fourth dimension. The simple view gdb provides just breaks down here and you're left with nonsensical jumps through code, disappearing variables and data morphing into other forms of data

[osdev] oh god the dragon is producing so much code that should really be documented but isn't

Ever wanted to know what mathematics would be like if axioms were just randomly violated? Just look at computer science for your answer

If using a debugger is easier than simple print statement, your environment sucks at print statements

LONG WEEKEND ​:areonNAwoo:​
