it’s no coincidence that linux is full of demons. and systemd, the demon that rules them all, is none other than beelzebub himself

that's what the keyring icon is. it changes as you type so if you see the keyring in my case you're reasonable sure that you typed your pw correctly.

Beowulf cluster rendering pictures of serial killers? You know nothing. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.

I worked for a regional telco that had bought a local telco, fired all the IT, then hired me and a couple other techs to try to make it into a functional area office. They used Lotus Notes for *everything*: asset tracking, ticketing, ERP, even (get this!) email  .Whole thing stank of “when all you have is a hammer all you see are nails” only a hammer can actually be useful at driving nails. Also, there is nothing more desolate and lonely to see than a 85% empty floor with all the remaining cubicles clustered together like a Minnesota prairie town in midwinter as the wolves circle in ever-closer. loving hell, that was a  of a place.E: they also made me go to Evanston Indiana in midsummer.
