  1. Trying to make the Mediawiki SMTP settings work by sending password reset emails to myself... and after 30+ minutes of brute forcing the settings, I notice: »Only one password reset email will be sent per valid account every hour« ⚰️

  2. We'll just pretend that didn't happen. But hey, its me. So whateevs. Meh. #ID-10T #PEBCAK

  3. My dears #FreeBSD friends,

    my /tmp weighs 72GB 😱 (even after a reboot), what can I do to empty this out?

  4. Que tu choisisses WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, Symfony, Ruby on Rails, Webflow, Wix, etc… assure-toi juste que tout le monde connaît son sujet et les enjeux communs (notamment budgétaires), et un·e bon·e chef·fe de projet DIGITAL est justement là pour ça ! 😉

    Investir dans la gestion de projet, c’est s’éviter des coûts de non-qualité.

  5. The battery of my daughter's laptop just died the day before the first day of school... 😩

  6. My son screwed the #Win11 disk by forcing the shutdown while it was doing the updates...

    The recovery is impossible he was able to screw up even the #bitlocker key... 🤦

    Now I am the embarassing situation that I don't know how to install #windows11...

    I am only feeling that inner voice that is telling me that: I had better to remove the disk with #Debian before to try the installation.

    What a pain in heck... 😩

  7. Da muss man nicht mit einem #ElonMusk reden: Es ist ein typisches #Fehler40 Problem / #PEBCAK :mastofacepalm:

  8. I hope the whole "sharing national security plans with a journalist over #Signal" story introduces a whole new generation of people to important acronyms like:

    #PEBCAK
    #PICNIC
    And ID-10-T Errors

  9. Socks5 for PKG

    #Fedihelp & #Fediask I need your help! 🙏

    Trying to make socks5 working with with pkg on #FreeBSD 14; documentation says that is feasible, as usual is a #pebcak issue! I don't know how to that, but if you know it please help me! 🙏

  10. No progress today
    Day-job has mostly been clearing up after User Errors*, and waiting around between appointments.

    *including typo-ing their own email address, and then panicking that their whole email system had failed

  12. After almost four weeks trying to resolve a #coding issue, eventually I resolved it!

    I don't have absolutely any idea why it worked out, I understood that I was circling the issue around like an hunting shark, nonetheless after thousand of non-sense attemptes I achieved my goal!

    The compiler (it is not an actual compiler) is still screaming a lot of errors and warnings, but I think that now I can fix those!

    p.s. this post will publish on Gemini too!

  13. A lot of the @shirtforceOrg t-shirt ideas that come to me are ones that I'd genuinely wear...
    ... and then there are some that are as if they'd be made especially for me.

  14. So i found a new feature....

    When you within a folder - like your download folder - search for a file and then rename it - you rename a lot of files.

    Wanna know how i know?
