🔧✨ Ah, the modern marvel: streaming games from your PC to any device with #Moonshine, because who needs reliability when you can have a headache? 🤯 Written in the ever-popular-for-bugs #Rust, it’s like a 'choose your own adventure' where every path leads to a #PEBKAC error. 🎮🛠️

Security Experts: We implemented these checks to prevent bots from hackers and spammers from accessing our system.

Corporate Executives Everywhere: Can we remove those checks so my “artificial intelligence” agent can access the system?

🤷🏼‍♂️

@carnage4life I had to give several gentle reminders during yesterday’s sessions for rules that were in CLAUDE.md. Better results when the workflow was already codified. I’m gna take it a bit slower today to guard against classic #PEBKAC.

Kein bluetooth adapter gefunden. Nervte mich schon etwas länger, war aber erstmal egal. Hmm, das x12 hat ne intel av201 oder so, die hat doch bt.. archwiki durchgeguckt, n paar Pakete installiert, immer noch nix. mh egal, Kabel mouse dran. Irgendwie lässt das einem ja doch keine Ruhe, weiter gestöbert, nix gefunden. Heute mal ins uefi geguckt - bluetooth (und ein paar andere Sachen) deaktiviert. 🤦‍♂️ ja gut.. reboot, plasma zeigt bt dinge an.. #pebkac #linux #dau :)

oh dear.... I put the files on my nextcloud and gave them a share link. Even tested it from my mobile phone to be 100% sure they can get the files.

'it doesn't work'

#PEBKAC

Il y a quelques temps, des bots bouffaient toute la bande passante de mon serveur, alors j'ai bloqué sans vergogne des blocs d'adresses IP entiers, dont 116.0.0.0/8.

Sauf qu'il y a aussi des serveurs Mastodon en 116.x.y.z (dont au moins lire.im), et je me demandais pourquoi je ne recevais plus rien des personnes sur ce serveur.

#PEBKAC

Awaaaa

I've been trying to enable PocketID for Dawarich and I couldn't make it work, always getting a "Record not found" error...

Turns out, it was a PEBKAC, I had copied the base64 of the client id wrong, so it had extra chars... Oh well, at least now it works !

Well... my SSD problem turned out to be me trying to enter DFU mode in a way that wasn't The Right Way™.

I thought simply power button held until the orange light started blinking was The Right Way™.

The way that ended up working was to have the power button held down at the time I was plugging in the power cable.

The drive was not DOA, after all. I recant.

#PEBKAC strikes again.

That said... there was a LOT of misinformation, and differing sets of instructions around this, which didn't help matters any.

The math is mathing right... 2.7 + 1.3

I really love #zedEditor for most of my work. I use it for programming and to update markdown work journals. Remote folders are great. However, I ran into an annoying default setting today. Default keymaps for the project pane allow you to delete a file with just a `shift-D`. There is a `"skip_prompt":false"` argument set so it should prompt before deleting. Either it didn't or I accidentally dismissed it. Lost 6 hours of work. Deleted those keymaps.

@scuttlebutt #pebkac anyway.

Good news, it wasnt deleted, it was moved!

@jloc0 It's been awhile since I've seen that #PEBKAC .
This is something to repeat to myself as well, every now and then 😂

I have learnt from end users twice in the last month that they don't use the address bar in their browsers. If they cant get to a search engine from their home tab, apparently their browser is useless to them. WTF

After walking away and sleeping for the night, I awoke with a fresh mind and had absolutely no trouble connecting and fixing it. Apparently a total #pebkac issue

We’re back to making our own cocktails after 2 weeks of holidays. The resort we stayed at had pink and white plumeria flowers all over the place, so I designed some new 3D printed cocktail toppers to remember our stay in Thailand. I used Blender for the design to print in Bambu Studio, so after a few weeks off, both needed updates, which I applied. Then I tried to print the design and was having weird issues, so I reinstalled the older versions. Odd. Same issue. Turns out, I just forgot some details about how to export from Blender to import into Bambu Studio while I was on holiday. 🤣🤪 #VacationBrain #pebkac

Your reminder that even Great Security Posture still has a meatware risk. #PEBKAC

🎵 When the sun hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's:

* User Error
* As designed
* No change required
* Closing ticket
