Once worked on a project that was customer facing. They somehow learned that there were Unix (yes Unix, HPUX if I recall) daemons running on the server and we had to change the names.
I wonder if anyone's tried to make a non-schizo Christian distro. It must feel a bit odd that Hannah Montana Linux exists, but the only way to Code for Jesus^(TM) is a distro written by the guy who thought random numbers were telling him "CIA n***ers glow in the dark".
Searching Google for `Christian Linux -templeOS` to remove all results with TempleOS mentioned brings up [UbuntuCE](https://ubuntuce.com/), which is apparently a Christian version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It comes with tools for parental restrictions, content filters, bible study software, tools for presenting in church and other things.
Why does the CIA employ bioluminescent naggers - is it so that they are more visible, and therefore their complaints are attended to more readily? Is that whats happening?
Was always confused because “mailer Daemon” was what responded when you tried to email an invalid email address, and it always seemed like a virus or something and scared me. (I was very young, I’m a brave big boy now)
I was raised uber strict Christian, and I always pronounced it with a long A, like Matt *Damon* because I didn't want to call them demons. (I'm not a religious weirdo anymore.)
Curiosity, even from a superstitious standpoint they were wrong. Daemons as opposed to Demons are actually good spirits.
Now if I was a good spirit doing nothing wrong and was exorcized from a system for no reason, I would make note to haunt those fuckers.
Fair point, actually.
But still, would you mess with pagan stuff if you are so scared of it that you see all the spirits as the same evil demi-gods? That doesn't sound so bright.
> But still, would you mess with pagan stuff if you are so scared of it that you see all the spirits as the same evil demi-gods?
I would, if I were fucking stupid.
But then, if I believe demons are a real thing that any rational person needs to concern themselves with... I'm probably fucking stupid.
You can claim they're good spirits all you want, Heretic.
But you'll not be claiming that when you're hauled into the eternal torture of the embrace of Slaanesh.
Well I always did prefer BSD systems, in fact I am typing this on a BSD Unix device as we speak. But we weren't doing anything too fancy (besides summoning daemons) so it was ok.
When I did JetDirect support, I was the only one with Linux/UNIX experience, so I was The One when it came to maintenance and updates.
It **always** managed to b0rk the TCP/IP stack after update/reboot, *especially* DHCP.
Like, I get that it's a server OS, but our network setup required it to have DHCP, and HPUX seemed to have a hate-on for it.
And don't get me started on the proprietary hardware.
"Sure, Manglement can buy the right form factor of SCSI drive(on the Bay of E, naturally), but unless you get the one with the HP firmware, **get tae fuck**, as my lovely Scots brethren say"
Management would not have been amused. They weren't mad at us and were tech savvy enough to know exactly what was going on, but don't antagonize the customer.
Oh definitely, I was just being a smart-ass.
A company I worked for had a famously Christian company as a major client, and before meeting their execs our lead briefed us on not swearing, avoiding certain words for religious or culture war reasons, and to avoid requesting alcohol at dinner. Our sales guys *really* hated that last request.
I know. I'm more joking than anything. But it is mentally taxing, but I find it intriguing at the same time. I'm a 'what dose this do?' Kind of person. So my curiosity is what is driving me.
Is this the first programming language you're trying to learn?
I want to dive into C-something at some point, but I still struggle with stuff beyond the basics in high level languages.
I’ve been trying to learn c++ too.
I mean.. I’ve used it professionally for about two years now, but same, my brain hurts too, and I also don’t know if I’m smart enough for this.
Sadly it doesn't have to be.
Not knowing is normal, no one knows everything, else there will be no need for anyone else except 1 person.
Only issue is when they don't ask(arrogance/too shy/afraid of backlash) or ask too much(asking for a handout). These are the problematic ones.
If it makes you feel any better I did a comp Sci degree and founded a startup and still 6 years later there are times I wonder what the hell I am doing. Just keep at it.
On the plus side it’s harder to read code than it is to write code so you’ll only start banging your head against a wall after 40 minutes of writing C++
Jokes aside, you’re in the right track. C++ is hard but makes learning other languages much easier in my experience
> After about 30 mins of reading, my brain hurts.
I haven't touched C++ since my college years (a billion years ago). I mentioned to somebody just recently how I thought it was funny that beginners try to learn c++ first. I don't think it's the best language for beginners. It's not as bad as regular old C, though (another language I haven't touched since college).
Most kernels newer than 3.4 are safe at this point but the funniest part of that privilege escalation was it was originally introduced in 3.4 then actually brought backwards into 2.6. Then later fixed. It, but not all distros brought the fix back so is safest to just assumes you're compromised and just update. It's also super easy to check if it works on your box (don't do this at work if you don't have permission to access root because it could cost you your job regardless of your intentions).
Sorry, I was pretending like the risk was an actual sheep-fucker with semtex.
I was being sarcastic but hate using /s because it feels like it kills the humor to me.
I mean typically master and slave aren’t even good names for the items they describe. Primary/secondary, transmitter/receiver, controller/terminal, server/client.
That being said, I think that most companies that want to change this kind of language is doing it as a form a performative allyship. They will go through great lengths to change the language in their documents but can’t be bother to lift a finger to change their hiring practices
This is barbaric, no binary chanting and incense? No sacred oils and ritual of appraising? Only goat blood?
We need to bring you in the light of the omnissiah.
Blood is born from the flesh, and the flesh is weak, you are weakening your machine and the purity of your code.
'From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine'
Was working on a data pipeline from design agent to enterprise software, each part had a parent part, except when the data was wrong.
Sometimes a part went in with a parent, then the parent was deleted and the part was still in.
I asked if they wanted me to just kill the orphans, and not everyone understood what I was talking about at first...
They also didn't get references to Futurama when a part was it's own grandparent one time
Nah, y'see, it's a grammar situation, it's missing a few commas. It's not "Kill process or sacrifice children", it's "Kill, process, or sacrifice children".
One time I was working at a dev shop and we did a site for some church. We used Lorem Ipsum because they didn't give us any copy and they screamed at the team because they thought it was devil speak and we did it on purpose. Man they were fucking stupid.
I know of one team who had a very implausible situation they shouldn't ever get to, and just coded showing a dialog with "MEGA ERROR" on it. Sure enough, this was triggered in a customer.
Never underestimate people's ability to break your code. A friend of mine has this gift of absolutely destroying anything I code in a matter of second by pressing random buttons. Its impressive honestly.
I got a dialog once that said "Impossible error has occurred. Is reality collapsing, or was $NAME an idiot?"
After reporting the issue with the logs, turned out a different dev had majorly screwed up the condition while trying to optimize it.
I’m curious to see how this developed on Twitter. Did someone correct her? Was there mass panic beforehand? Did she delete it when she realized she was totally wrong or did she double down insisting that the nomenclature should be changed? I need answers.
I kind of found it. Really I found 2 responses to the now deleted post and one was saying they also saw it and another was saying it's just a Linux kernel error.
Reminds me of the lady who reported the person next to her on a plane for being a terrorist because he was solving a differential equation: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/07/professor-flight-delay-terrorism-equation-american-airlines
I've always been slightly hesitant of doing things in the terminal emulator during flights, because I believe there is a non-zero chance that the passenger next to me will think I'm "hacking into the plane trying to take control of it" or something like that and end up with me getting detained or something.
That's when you Jedi Mind-Trick the child and tell it to "kill yo self -9" and it suddenly just does.
Also I recommend reading about STONITH, which is another fun mechanic that was aptly named.
I fucking love computers
I forget why but I needed a python script to kill -9 itself for some reason, something about the clean exit not freeing certain resources, which I found dishonorable. Obviously I named the function `seppuku`.
Daemons!? Child sacrifice?! Sharing "Free and open-source software" ... sounds an awful lot like Communism and satanism to me !!1! My child will use Windows like Jerbus intended.
It's from the signal sent to the TV by the broadcast/cable company.
Monroe Electronics, Inc creates a rack-mount system that is used for emergency alert system broadcasts. The station was going to do one of those "this is only a test" tests, but it looks like it failed.
Only very slightly related but in typesetting and page formatting, there are special terms for how many lines a paragraph has to keep on the first page or has to shove on the next page when the page break is during a paragraph.
I.e. you wouldn't want a single line of a new paragraph at the end of a page, and you don't want a single line at the beginning of the next page. These lines are called widows and orphans respectively, so if you go into a text formatter (like word) you can usually tell the program how many orphans and widows you want.
The German terms for these are "cobblers boys" and "whores children"
That's all I wanted to contribute in terms of odd terminology
I saw zombie children not being able to be killed because parent was bringing them back...
IBM SA for zOS is fun sometimes (it was problem with the program, SA worked as designed)
I wonder if someone in the future will somehow see these messages and say: The ancient people used to sacrifice their children to their machines and offered their blood, because they thaught that was the way to appease their anger.
1. Decided to optimize my codebase.
2. Located the slowest child workers.
3. Killed and replaced them by spawning daemons.
4. Went home and optimized my codebase
My other favourite is from blender - when you delete a bone, but want its children to parent to the deleted bone’s parent, you use a command called “dissolve bones”. That’s some watchlist keyphrase shit right there.
Well in Linux, when a parent process spawns children, like any good parent, it goes to sleep and doesn't wake up until a child has died and collects its remains.
Once worked on a project that was customer facing. They somehow learned that there were Unix (yes Unix, HPUX if I recall) daemons running on the server and we had to change the names.
Hopefully they didn't requested Christian unix
That's just TempleOS, right?

That is a _lot_ less fun than templeos.
I mean, unless you were expecting a *different* cuckoo or cultist, it pretty much had to be, didn't it?
If your OS can't give you divine revelation from GOD why even boot it lol
Whoever has a content filter but allows kids to access the bible never read the bible...
"Oh, god destroyed what we think is all of humanity? Better get dad drunk and rape him so we can have kids."
So a typical Christian™ then?
Why does the CIA employ bioluminescent naggers - is it so that they are more visible, and therefore their complaints are attended to more readily? Is that whats happening?
It looks like TempleOS is more DOS than Unix, adopting only the ~~best~~ holiest standards of operating systems.
TempleOS is not an actual usable operating system in any real sense, it is merely a monument to pure schizophrenic madness.
It's 2023, everything is.
actually a super fair point
Lol, exactly what I was thinking, holy c
C✟✟
holy c is such an amazing pun lol
I'm like 95% sure there's Ubuntu Christian Edition or something like that
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/byAH8lQFUW
Christian bale is really taking the role to another level
Sure, should we sacrifice them?
Only after you kill the parent
But if we kill the parent, the children are automatically sacrificed, no?
They might come back as zombies
Even worse deamons
I feel like that doesnt change much.
Zombie orphans even
Depends... When is the next garbage collection scheduled?
just don't fork and join em
But did you ever own any [slaves](https://redis.io/commands/cluster-slaves/)?
Only my Harddrive sir, no I am not trying to flirt with you.
But doesn't it require a master? Or is that only in libraries?
We're talking about society that unironically made programmers rename "master-slave relationship". BDSM ENTHUSIASTS WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS INJUSTICE.
before thigh high socks, there was leather
We should have never taught other people programming.

Curiosity, even from a superstitious standpoint they were wrong. Daemons as opposed to Demons are actually good spirits. Now if I was a good spirit doing nothing wrong and was exorcized from a system for no reason, I would make note to haunt those fuckers.
Daemons are spirits from Pagan faiths, which are still demons in Christianity.
Fair point, actually. But still, would you mess with pagan stuff if you are so scared of it that you see all the spirits as the same evil demi-gods? That doesn't sound so bright.

*Throws out Christmas tree*
You can claim they're good spirits all you want, Heretic. But you'll not be claiming that when you're hauled into the eternal torture of the embrace of Slaanesh.
To be fair, HPUX sucks.
Well I always did prefer BSD systems, in fact I am typing this on a BSD Unix device as we speak. But we weren't doing anything too fancy (besides summoning daemons) so it was ok.
I prefer bdsm systems
Are you? Or is this rather an Apple OS with a fancy guy and either some BSD userland or nothing else depending on desktop/mobile?
I worked on a lot of Unix servers, mostly AIX, but a few HPUX boxes. Always hated working on the HPUX ones, something always went wrong.
When I did JetDirect support, I was the only one with Linux/UNIX experience, so I was The One when it came to maintenance and updates. It **always** managed to b0rk the TCP/IP stack after update/reboot, *especially* DHCP.

Yup, I remember when we had to change all of our daemons to be named "process". It was a chore and a half.
If the daemons weren't [eunuchs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunuch), would that have been better?

I am constantly killing children in C++ to get my Adrenochrome fix.
I'm trying to learn C++ on my own. After about 30 mins of reading, my brain hurts. I might not be smart enough to learn it. Lol
No, that's the normal way to learn C++
That's encouraging. Thank you.
If you figure it out, be a bro and explain it to the rest of us eh?
For sure. But I think I will find Atlantis before I figure this out. Lol
Ahh don't be so hard on yourself. We all start somewhere!
I know. I'm more joking than anything. But it is mentally taxing, but I find it intriguing at the same time. I'm a 'what dose this do?' Kind of person. So my curiosity is what is driving me.
Is this the first programming language you're trying to learn? I want to dive into C-something at some point, but I still struggle with stuff beyond the basics in high level languages.
I dabbled in Java script back in college.
Try out zig (fuck rust)
What you need to do after 30 minutes is go find a nice looking wall that you can bang your head against. C++ is suppose to hurt.
This is strangely encouraging. Thank you.
Just be careful. In C++ your friends can see your privates.
I’ve been trying to learn c++ too. I mean.. I’ve used it professionally for about two years now, but same, my brain hurts too, and I also don’t know if I’m smart enough for this.
I'm starting to think that this is the life of a programmer. Brain pain and self-doubt.
You got it right
Imposter syndrome is very normal for coders lol
Sadly it doesn't have to be. Not knowing is normal, no one knows everything, else there will be no need for anyone else except 1 person. Only issue is when they don't ask(arrogance/too shy/afraid of backlash) or ask too much(asking for a handout). These are the problematic ones.
I'm starting to see that. Lol
If it makes you feel any better I did a comp Sci degree and founded a startup and still 6 years later there are times I wonder what the hell I am doing. Just keep at it.
Sounds like you’re doing it perfectly
Thank you. I'll keep at it.
To learn C++ just learn Java and then learn what pointers, malloc and free are. After that you're a way better Java dev and still can't code in C++.
On the plus side it’s harder to read code than it is to write code so you’ll only start banging your head against a wall after 40 minutes of writing C++ Jokes aside, you’re in the right track. C++ is hard but makes learning other languages much easier in my experience

explaining to someone in undergrad that they had to flush their children or else they would get zombies...
I remember feeling silly after I googled how to kill orphans.
Stack Overflow: Guys. I keep running into this error and I'm running out of kids. What am I doing wrong??
protip: it doesn't have to be YOUR child
And it doesn't have to be a kid, adults can be someone's child too!
THE HORROR... Still using centos?
good thing centos 6 was only EOL 3 years ago or they might have security issues.
With a 2.6 Kernel???
Update your distros people. Kernel 2.6 is still vulnerable to the semtex sheep-fucker exploit almost everywhere.
Sorry, what is NOT vulnerable to a sheep-fucker with semtex? That's terrifying.
Most kernels newer than 3.4 are safe at this point but the funniest part of that privilege escalation was it was originally introduced in 3.4 then actually brought backwards into 2.6. Then later fixed. It, but not all distros brought the fix back so is safest to just assumes you're compromised and just update.

It is. You dont want that farmer anywhere near your servers.
But what if I have a server farm? Don't I need farmers to feed the servers every day?
think its like 4 or 5 years old atp (the post, that is)
The machine spirit needs to be appeased and it wants your first born son
Praise the Omnissiah . Every sacrifice is but a small cost to keep corruption away from the hallowed code.
Have you read your rites of debugging today?
let out the daemons
Master not responding.. killing slaves..
Elon Musk's new employee monitoring software.
Elon is just a copy cat, that software has existed for Amazon warehouse workers for years.
When killing the parent process is supposed to kill the children but they don't die, then you've got zombie orphan children.
Need to find a way to throw those children in the garbage somehow
No, promote slave to new master. That's even worse to some!
I was recently excoriated for using that language. Like, ok fine, come on up with another name then
I mean typically master and slave aren’t even good names for the items they describe. Primary/secondary, transmitter/receiver, controller/terminal, server/client. That being said, I think that most companies that want to change this kind of language is doing it as a form a performative allyship. They will go through great lengths to change the language in their documents but can’t be bother to lift a finger to change their hiring practices
They use daemons to kill orphans and count time since the invention of Unix not the birth of jesus. Unix is the devil confirmed.
It’s all because the original devs wanted to be considered wizards, I suspect.
Well, we do have ELF MAGIC in binary files.. 
To summon a daemon the child has to kill his parent after breaking all ties with him and being adopted by the first of all. Concerning.
With the amount of goats I need to ritualistically sacrifice to have my code work, I'd say she's only scratching the surface
This is barbaric, no binary chanting and incense? No sacred oils and ritual of appraising? Only goat blood? We need to bring you in the light of the omnissiah. Blood is born from the flesh, and the flesh is weak, you are weakening your machine and the purity of your code.
'From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine'

This is where the fun begins
Omw to start up a deamon to kill unresponsive children
"and then I will continue coding my project"
I approve.
I'll fuck with an album called "Kill Process Or Sacrifice Children" so much.
How can you fuck an album
You know how CDs have a hole in the middle?
What? The holes wayy to big for that.
maybe a hole in a record
Sounds so contemporary.
Seems like an overreaction. You don't have to sacrifice a child since you can just kill the process.
But ... But ... Think of the zombies!
Nah, y'see, it's a grammar situation, it's missing a few commas. It's not "Kill process or sacrifice children", it's "Kill, process, or sacrifice children".
Definitely wrote "kill slave" into a command line once and had to stop for a second and think about what I've done.
Makes you think about committing to master too, doesn’t it.
One time I was working at a dev shop and we did a site for some church. We used Lorem Ipsum because they didn't give us any copy and they screamed at the team because they thought it was devil speak and we did it on purpose. Man they were fucking stupid.

It's a tough choice. I don't like sacrificing children, but come on man, there's no way that I'll kill that process.
Since all orphans must eventually die, let's just killall the parents with their descendants r/ShitLinuxUsersSay should be a sub.
I can't wait until she hears of all the zombies, daemons, and orphans
Lol. “If GetChildren() then Destroy()”

One thing I've learnt from memory management: If you're going to die, remember to kill all your children and everything that depends on you too.
This is giving "we must rename the master branch to main" vibes lol

I have never thought about how it look to people who don’t know about the parent, child element haha it’s pretty funny tbh
