Die 30 schlechtesten IT-Witze

Früher war IT noch lustig, heute hat Humor ausgedient. Die ollen Kamellen zeigen, wer vor Jahrzehnten in der IT den Takt vorgegeben hat: schlechte Software, dumme Anwender und Experten, die stolz auf ihre Arbeit waren.

I’m curious.

There are a lot of Linux users here, but how nerdy are you really?

Do you mostly use the graphical desktop with mouse and menus, or do you live in the terminal and do almost everything with the keyboard?

My evening “required reading for the ears”:

please tell me i am not the only one who knows that 😄
Other people fall asleep to rain sounds, meditation, or cozy audiobooks.

I listen to BOfH and call it IT self-care.

Somewhere between Unix basement therapy and advanced user tolerance training. XD

My little OS roll call has officially escalated.

I expected a few Linux users.
I did not expect a full Unix archaeology department, several BSD wizards, people running obscure systems I have never heard of, and someone casually mentioning a C64.

Mastodon is not social media.
Mastodon is a nerd tavern with federation.

And honestly? I love it here.

Ach, mensch, @thomas ! Musstest du mich auf Zed aufmerksam machen? Jetzt habe ich schon wieder Bock auf neue Projekte, für die ich gar keine Zeit habe.😁

In other news, I still hate Oracle. I inherited dozens of ETL packages that read like a Byzantine wet dream. And every tech support article reads like a master class of condescension. Our "common data environment" or "CDE" (had to look up THAT acronym yesterday) is slow as molasses.

But yes, tell me more about how it's the "gold standard" or some other bullshit.

(Will any of my colleagues see this before it auto deletes? We'll find out!)

Finalmente mergulhei no universo de Stranger Things: Tales from '85. A nostalgia é bem clichêzinha, e a estética... bem, é quase alquimia pura pros olhos. ✨
​Meu refúgio aqui no quarto já tá no clima total. Alguém mais embarcou nessa jornada por Hawkins? O que vocês têm assistido que tá valendo cada minuto? Mandem as recomendações, adoraria trocar figurinhas com vocês! 🎮📺 #strangerthings #Geek #GamingSetup #RetroVibes #Netflix #Streaming #Cottagecore #NerdLife

Are you someone who is intensely curious about the universe? This design is for the lifelong learners, the science nerds, and the stargazers who find beauty in the details of a neuron, the vastness of a galaxy, and the precision of a telescope.

Whether you are obsessed with astronomy, biology, or the deep mysteries of philosophy, this hand-lettered illustration captures that "need to know" energy. It’s perfect for STEM students, teachers, or anyone with a dark academia aesthetic who loves vintage scientific sketches and space exploration. From rocket ships to anatomical skulls, every icon represents a different path of intellectual discovery. Stay curious, stay bold, and keep exploring the unknown. 🚀✨

That was definitely one of the coolest experiments I’ve ever done!

Just before Christmas 2024, a VRAM block on my GTX 780 in my old PC (Core i5-650 / 8 GB RAM) gave out. You could see it in the typical screen artifacts, and GPU-Z also showed a broken reading. (Image 2)

I ran MATS on the card and managed to identify the defective memory (unfortunately no photo). During my research, I discovered that Nvidia uses six memory banks of 512 MB each. I also came across the tool Old NVIDIA artifacts, which is designed for Kepler GPUs. With it, I was able to modify the BIOS to disable the defective memory bank.

After flashing with NV-Flash, I ran MATS again, and the test completed successfully (Image 3). On the desktop, no artifacts were visible anymore, and GPU-Z was back to normal, except the card now shows 2.5 GB instead of 3 GB of VRAM (Image 4).

Since support for the 470 driver is ending, the card no longer initializes properly without boot parameters, and it was heavily damaged anyway, I replaced it with a used RX 570 with 4 GB VRAM for 40 €. The GTX 780 is now peacefully sleeping in its box, and maybe one day it will be awakened again (Image 1).
