3 Uhr morgens, ich starre auf ein Bash-Script, das gestern noch funktioniert hat. Nichts wurde geändert. Niemand hat es angefasst. Es funktioniert einfach nicht mehr.

Das ist der Moment, in dem man versteht, warum frühe Informatiker an Geister geglaubt haben. 👻

`set -x` ist mein Beichtvater geworden.

Every dev has said it at least once:

"It works on my machine."

Production disagrees. 👀

Debugging lost messages in my message passing algorithm 🥲

I have this issue sometimes with my Linux laptop. Things I've done to fix it:

• Restart Chrome

• Turn the volume off then on again

• Change my audio output to something else and then back to where it was (sometimes I think the audio stack just gets lost or confused)

• Log out and log in again

• Restart machine

Experiencing an intersectional #horror of "it works on my machine" and getting my gen-x father to remotely debug something for me. 💀

Managed to cobble a provisionally workable workspace. Had to. #UbuntuStudio 23.04 upgrade bricks the Main Machine on boot, only accessible by ssh from an hp with broken keys who upgraded without incident.

It was raining today anyway
