#pebkac — Public Fediverse posts

Da ich längere Zeit wieder nichts mit FreeCAD gemacht habe, das aber für viele DIY- / Holzprojekte schon recht genial ist, arbeite ich mich gerade mal wieder ein. Natürlich in die aktuellste Version. Also schaue ich Tutorials und versuche Übungsaufgaben daraus selbstständig zu lösen.

Gestern endete das mal wieder mit vielen bösen Worten über den Computer und natürlich auch über FreeCAD. Heute stelle ich, oh Wunder, fest, kaum macht man's richtig, schon funktioniert's!

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.

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

I learned something about using Python today, and this might influence how I write other parts of my code. I'm also open to ideas on the best way to go about this.

I'm now most of the way through a refactor where I'm switching to Postgres for my database and also using SQLModel over SQLAlchemy. I have all my classes written/rewritten and was running into an issue on the IPAM side of things when creating a new network. See if you can spot the bug as I write it out here.

Each API call in FastAPI will map to one function, with each class having their functions in their own file, for the sake of modularity/organization. I have a subnet.py file and ipRecords.py for those respective classes.

When a new subnet is created, I make the subnet in the database and then populate all of the IP addresses in the IpAddress table before returning to the FastAPI call. This means that one function call is chained to another one. Specifically subnet.createSubnet calls Iprecords.createIpRecord.

Both functions have a Session object coming in like this. Note that Depends comes from SQLModel and getDb() returns a database session, via yield.

myFunction( input1: int, input2, str, db: Session = Depends(getDb))

This means that when a new subnet is added, and then we call iprecords.createIpRecord, that doesn't get the proper result for getDb and we can't talk to the database.

My fix was to pass the db from one function to another so I can keep using it, and not pull it in via getDb on the inner function call.

Now that I'm through that mess, I can carry on with the rest of my refactor and get back to the main branch.

[Перевод] Lenovo: даже опытные пользователи компьютеров могут совершать ошибки или упускать из виду что-то важное

Это перевод статьи из глоссария на сайте Lenovo под названием « Что такое PEBKAC ?». PEBKAC означает «Проблема существует между клавиатурой и стулом» (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair). Это юмористический способ обозначить проблемы, возникающие на компьютере или веб‑сайте, которые на самом деле вызваны ошибкой пользователя». PEBKAC очень распространён! Даже опытные пользователи компьютеров могут ошибаться или упускать что‑то важное, что приводит к ошибкам или сбоям в работе.

Spent hours debugging why JetPack Social Note on my site wasn’t working, only to realise I had a rogue `.htaccess` rule sabotaging it:

`RewriteRule ^sn/?$ – [L]` 🤦‍♂️

Lesson learned: Too many rules + reading too fast = PEBKAC strikes again! 💻😂
At least it’s fixed now, and I’ve earned my “Rogue Rule Wrangler” badge for the day. 🛠️

Just spent the last few weeks listening to and adding ratings to hundreds of my DJ tracks.

One simple misclick and I synced the wrong direction and lost all of that work.

Errare humanum est. But what about everything else?

For our #CyberSecMonth campaign, Simona Venuti @Simo_GARRCERT (GARR) describes how #AI systems are now being exploited to trick humans, while humans are also trying to trick machines, both using #SocialEngineering techniques: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/04/errare-humanum-est-but-what-about-everything-else

@seadev it means we have zero trust of end-users, don't let them on or near computers, and suddenly systems are totally secure.
