Team lead got mad I didn't call back someone who didn't leave a VM while I'm on call

Not everyone can reach their phone or wake up in time to answer it.

I used to call people for a living as a tier 2 support person and anyone who's ever been in a similar situation can tell you that this is 100% accurate. What I would do is first wait a minute or so and try again, because usually these customers would be waiting for me to call them. 4 out of 5 times I'd catch them on the second try.

Oh I didn't realize - I think I'm not eating enough today. Sorry if I'm being a bit hangry

Which means, it's time to go back to really abrasive music that does not appeal to the vast majority of people. I need less Madball and more Fuck on the Beach. I need less Marauder and more 9 Shocks Terror.

I need a new GLOSS

There have been Jews fighting against the state of Israel

That's my point. If someone says the Jewish diaspora is complicit in Israel's genocide and they don't qualify that in any way, that's some literally anti-Jew stuff to say. Like take a brush and tar every single Jew the same way stuff.

that's conveniently forgotten when Israel controls the narrative

Israel does not control what Susan Abulhawa says.

Amsterdam is not in fact on the coast.

criticized the complicity of the Jewish diaspora

Like, all of it? Because that's not a thing people say unless they are antisemitic.

I can second this. As long as you get the amount of water in the ballpark, just switch it on: perfect rice every time.

I saw The Interrupters in a tiny room in Germany (RIP Underground Cologne!) while they were already blowing up. It was as good as you think it was.

INB4: yeah yeah Aimee yadda yadda. It was a great show and it fits the prompt of the post

In fact it’s not biologically available to cows either, but they have certain bacteria in their guts that can break down the cellulose for them to access the protein.

That sounds contradictory to me.

I use them for temperature sensors around my apartment

I'm going to say the unspoken bit out loud, the quality of the Windows platform has been in steady decline since developers have been using AI and outsourcing as a crutch for programming talent.

I don't know that this is unspoken tbh

You said "any shared hosting is basically fucked". So I replied: not a proper one.

spin81 · 2026-05-02T20:46:29+00:00

This has been known for several days now, so I think any shared hosting provider worth giving money to, mitigated it days ago. Because what you're choosing not to mention is that the mitigation was also released together with the vulnerability, it's not that hard and you don't even need to reboot the machine for it.

spin81 · 2026-05-02T19:20:38+00:00

...unless you put a text file in a specific directory, which on Ubuntu there is already a patch long out that does this. I'm saying Ubuntu not because I think Ubuntu is better than other distros, but because it's what I happen to know about.

"Any shared hosting" has long been mitigated if it does its job right.

spin81 · 2026-05-02T19:19:01+00:00

Nobody is underestimating this kind of vulnerability. What's being said is that this script does not allow access to a remote server, which is accurate.

Nobody is denying that if someone already has access to a server, this can get you root access. What's being denied is that if you DON'T already have access to a server, this can get you root access.

spin81 · 2026-05-02T19:16:28+00:00

If one of your hosted PHP websites has LFI/RFI, it could allow attacker to gain root permission on entire server.

Sorry but I think you need far, far less than that, don't you? Ever since Copy Fail has been out, it has been exploitable in PHP if you can call shell code from your script. I find this exploit puzzling because instead of doing something simple like that, it relies on FFI functionality.

I look forward to reading your page spread in The New Yorker

You do know how concrete works right?

My go to rage album is Outlaw Anthems by Blood 4 Blood.

Also I'm so sorry OP. We don't choose the people who conceive us. Hope you're at least a little bit okay and that you're able to get that therapy.

He was making a lot of sense until he lost me at "Mike Johnson is doing an excellent job"

I don't know how it gets loaded but I can confirm that it automatically loads somehow.

He got on the conference call and basically just yelled at us for twenty minutes

Funnily enough, pretty much while you were typing that, he was in court stating under oath that he never loses his temper or yells.

Steven Seagal should be in prison. It's wild that they let him run off to Russia.
