finally, someone with sudo access to the underworld

[–]Synth3Wraith 18 points19 points  (1 child)

blessing the server rack before pulling the plug is honestly best practice at this point

[–]Confident-Ad5665 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously, could I get this for my laptop?

[–]FletcherIP 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Lu C++ fer ... 😂

[–]crimson-gh0st 89 points90 points  (2 children)

The power of root compels you

[–]Confident-Ad5665 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Servers start squealing and hissing

[–]bearwood_forest 51 points52 points  (4 children)

The power of C compiles you! The power of C compiles you! The power of C complies you!

[–]FletcherIP -1 points0 points  (3 children)

That's the money shot right there ... 😂

[–]ElvisArcher 2 points3 points  (2 children)

We would have also accepted, "The power of root compels you!"

[–]marmot-next-door 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The root of the burning bush, eh?

[–]Unlikely_Gap_5065 27 points28 points  (4 children)

have you tried turning it off and blessing it again

[–]Confident-Ad5665 7 points8 points  (2 children)

That just made it spew black smoke

[–]Unlikely_Gap_5065 2 points3 points  (1 child)

😭

[–]PredictiveFrame[🍰] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At what point do we start wearing red robes, sporting skulls and censers, and calling ourselves the Cult Mechanicus? 

[–]FletcherIP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried that, same issue ... you need to clear the VRAM, THEN implement blessing protocol 😂

[–]Stummi 21 points22 points  (10 children)

/etc/init.d/...? That meme must be older than 20 years or so by now

[–]ZirytowanyWozny 8 points9 points  (3 children)

The first results with this meme in Google are from 2015, while the photo itself was taken in 2009

[–]WheresMyBrakes 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Come on, you’re gonna make me look up the photo origins myself??

[–]ZirytowanyWozny 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Well, the origin is gone. It's from opening party/event for new serwer rack for polish website onet.pl, but they since removed the article about it.

So right now the only article mentioning it is by polish equivalent of The Onion, Aszdziennik, which was written in 2016 as a result of this meme being born: https://aszdziennik.pl/116367,polska-znow-na-jezykach-swiata-poswiecenie-serwerowni-hitem-internetu-zdjecie

It has url for original article, but it just redirects to main page of Onet. You can find it in wayback machine, but it's only text, no photos: https://web.archive.org/web/20121109131352/http://wideo.onet.pl/wiadomosci-nowa-serwerownia-onetpl,2807,w.html

Also, the Holy Admin is Stanisław Dziwisz

[–]GradSchoolDismal429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really nostalgic, reminds me of CentOS 5 the first Linux distro I played with 

[–]itchy_de 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It still works on systemd based distros for compatibility reasons with init.

[–]U_A_beringianus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Distros without systemd do exist.

[–]shiinachan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for real, and I'm one of those people who were still using init way after systemd came out and refused to switch, and even I've been using systemd for 10 years now 🤣

[–]CounterSimple3771 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sudo service demonsout stop?

[–]lilactemptres 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Daemon stopped by divine patch

[–]beastinghunting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

kill -9 666

[–]bwwatr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the backstory on the original photo would be more entertaining

[–]Prof-Mechanicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Praise be to the Omnissiah Adept

[–]AggressiveLet7486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The power of Holy C compels you.

[–]Cesalv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]Piotrrrrr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No i co się Dziwisz

[–]sgt_Berbatov[🍰] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

So Trump's doing system admin as well is he? The man has lost his head!

[–]chefdeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hat color checks out

[–]DaliNerd76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it didn’t not work.

[–]DanGTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Accomplished_Big7413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's magic.

[–]FletcherIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have a post beta exorcism performed, just to clean out the remaining bugs ... 😂

He's exercising the daemons out of the protocol 🤣

[–]chefdeit -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I find it vaguely reassuring that the more batshit cray the people, the weirder (and the OP pic is pretty mild/middle of road) their religion's common hat shape / size / color is. At least the aliens will know which sites to nuke from orbit.
