I like how the most prominent part of the screenshot is the person explaining the joke in an unfunny way
man finger
touch $it; nice -n 1 cat; fsck; shutdown
No manual entry for finger
unzip, strip, top, less, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, umount, sleep.
… grep?
I’m gonna tie you too the radiator, and grep you in the mouth for decades, and decades, and decades!
Forgot $
I changed the $ in bash to § because fuck capitalism, keep your currency out of my free software
Like sex, an operating system is better when it’s free
And

datePut on the sockets, finger and connect, accept reject.
It’s not, trust me. Now football, that is horny. Tight end, going deep, hand off.
They forgot master/slave in version control systems.
You used to have master and slave processes too until it was changed to parent and child
Look who coined the terms. Like the Silicon Valley stoners/hippies who came up with bit, byte, and nibble.
I prefer the spelling “nybble”
It certainly fits. I’ve only heard the term, never heard it used in practice.
What’s a nibble in this context?
Usually half a byte, 4b, but I think the general definition is half of the word size
Half a byte: 4 bits
Shave and a haircut: 2 bits
Don’t forget all the master/slave terminology
Tbf, we’re trying to get away from that one
Has there been “slave” anywhere for a while? The last time I can think is PATA, which is ancient by now.
It seems like most (all?) uses of “master” these days are in the sense of a “master copy”, which doesn’t really have a “master/slave” dynamic to it.
Yep, gotta work with that on a daily basis because its in the protocol I have to work with.
And I’m so glad, and my boomer coworkers still complain
I don’t see the issue but I find Dom/Sub better anyway.
USB-OTG should just have been named USB Power Bottom. That makes USB-Type-C the embodiment of a switch.
Yeah, I’ve heard. I’ve always associated the terms with dom/sub play, not slavery.
I get the reasoning as to why, but it seems odd to me that the IT terms were fixated on, but not the engineering terms; “master” and “slave” are still the accepted terms in the context of hydraulic systems, for example.
It’s also generally accepted that “retard” and “retarded” are generally acceptable terms when used in an engineering context. If we can accept that some terms are accepted in the a technical context, it seems inconsistent not to apply the same thinking to IT terminology.
Just more stuff to keep us bickering with each other so we don’t look up and realize where all the real problems are coming from, imo.
I use main instead of master on git, but what’s the substitute to slave? Especially in master/slave setups like you have 1 processor controlling a bunch of measuring equipment for example.
Master in git is like master record, nothing to do with slaves
I’ve seen controller/worker which seems pretty descriptive
Manager/wageslave 😁😌😒
It’s not easy.
I think I’ve seen leader/follower too
Or the process terminology: “How to kill parent?” “How to spawn child?” “How to terminate zombie child?” Kinda forked if you ask me.
My worst search was “How to kill orphaned child” I didn’t even think about how it sounded until I saw it typed out in the search box lol
I think the go-to option is an elaborate death trap that will prove to be easily escapable in the next episode.
If the parent was waiting on the child, it is notified of the exit status and the child dies immediately. ~ man exit(3)
I c wut u did there
“Ey gurl, don’t act like you ain’t see my pull request. Lemme deep scan dem packets.”
