I need smarter friends. There's no more 'we' there's just me. I feel...disconnected. Why does command-line apt-get not reinstall, but the GUI does? Why does 'purge' leave files? Why is apache2 so much more difficult to manually configure? Why won't php work out of the box on a dedicated LAMP installation? Why will the /<?php phpinfo(); ?>/ properly display but not php pages?
I also need advanced Photoshop help. Who the hell am I supposed to turn to for that? Google is only filled with simple answers to common questions. There's no real knowledge there. Seemingly nothing I want to do can be answered simply. How do I install a non-vPar virtual machine on HP/UX 11vi? None of the hard questions are out there. And when they are, they sit silent; unanswered.
What's the easy replacement for /usr/bin/false ftponly accounts outside of chroot jails? (make the user's shell /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server).
Are they dumbing down the system, or are they dumbing
me down? By automating everything, I've become lazy, and dull. Ergo, when there's a problem with that automation, it takes me longer to fix. I'm no longer sharp. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Making something idiot-proof only creates bigger idiots.
Why is there a corporate edict stating that the
Chrome browser is a security risk then suggest we use IE, the most exploited browser ever invented instead? WHY WILL NO ONE ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS? And for those who do,
why won't you cowards answer them?Placate me.
