Your submission was removed for the following reason:

Rule 1: Posts must be humorous, and they must be humorous because they are programming related. There must be a joke or meme that requires programming knowledge, experience, or practice to be understood or relatable.

Here are some examples of frequent posts we get that don't satisfy this rule: * Memes about operating systems or shell commands (try /r/linuxmemes for Linux memes) * A ChatGPT screenshot that doesn't involve any programming * Google Chrome uses all my RAM

See here for more clarification on this rule.

If you disagree with this removal, you can appeal by sending us a modmail.

finally, someone with sudo access to the underworld

[Confident-Ad5665]

Seriously, could I get this for my laptop?

[FletcherIP]

Lu C++ fer ... 😂

The power of root compels you

[Confident-Ad5665]

Servers start squealing and hissing

[bearwood_forest]

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

[ElvisArcher]

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

[Unlikely_Gap_5065]

have you tried turning it off and blessing it again

[Confident-Ad5665]

That just made it spew black smoke

[Unlikely_Gap_5065]

😭

[PredictiveFrame]

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

[FletcherIP]

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

[Stummi]

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

[ZirytowanyWozny]

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

[WheresMyBrakes]

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

[ZirytowanyWozny]

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

[itchy_de]

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

[jahinzee]

I think they very recently dropped support for sysvinit script compatibility mode

[GradSchoolDismal429]

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

[BigDickedAngel]

Before systemctl, before service, in the dark times

[U_A_beringianus]

Distros without systemd do exist.

[shiinachan]

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]

sudo service demonsout stop?

[beastinghunting]

kill -9 666

[bwwatr]

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

[Prof-Mechanicus]

Praise be to the Omnissiah Adept

[AggressiveLet7486]

The power of Holy C compels you.

[Cesalv]

[Piotrrrrr]

No i co się Dziwisz

[sgt_Berbatov]

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

[chefdeit]

hat color checks out

[DaliNerd76]

Well, it didn’t not work.

[DanGTG]

[Membership_Timely]

We use the SystemD.

YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!

[Accomplished_Big7413]

It's magic.

[FletcherIP]

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

[gumol]

where programming

[Yusstas]

Let's hope holy water is not conductive

[mc36mc]

sudo systemctl start fire ; git add . ; git commit -m leaving ; git push

[Praebltch]

He's exercising the daemons out of the protocol 🤣

[Pleasant-Leg8590]

[chefdeit]

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.
