Computers are like onions. Everything is layers built on layers, and every layer makes you cry. #sysadmin
This is my most popular toot since I joined the fedi in 2018.
So I've gotta mute it. Being popular is bad for my psyche.
Mark Shane Hayden@mwl yeah I found that level of engagement somewhat unsettling too. Not only is it rate that I get attention, it also happened in the complete absence of amplification algorithms. That means I brought the attention upon myself...it was All My Fault ๐ณ

Alexander ShendiDid it make it to "The Onion"?

*sigh*Ber nard@mwl we're sooo lucky it's usually years old produce. Fresh onions are :flan_cry:
txt.file@mwl except when you have a proper (sharp) knife so you can cut through the layers/computers.
Carl@mwl As a vegetarian I do not sacrifice animals anymore. ๐
LucifarGundamComputers are like onions. Any time someone compares them to a piece of cake, you have to assume they're on drugs.

unlofl [Promoted Toot]@zbrown @mdhughes @mwl We sold a trifle to a new customer, we need one just like in the photo asap! It's undocumented except for the blueberries, that dish was from a thrift shop and we don't know where to get another one, and it needs to taste like the photo... the customer nibbled on the photo we showed them and really liked it!

@mwl but mostly Layer 8.
warthog9@mwl I feel this in my bones
IzzyJ.@mwl I'm just a basic LInux user and understand this lol. Just got my editing software working after a month of faffing

@mwl And they taste better when they're cooked.

Never were truer words said. The same could be said for networks.

Greg Wilson@mwl and sometimes the inner layers go rotten but the outer layers still look OK

Patrick@mwl Layercake sounds more sweet, but still makes you cry.

Linux and praxis: part of the resistance ๐ต๐ธ โฎ๏ธ@mwl There's a kernel of truth in that.
Solomon Schuler@mwl Shrek's theory was correct: "onions have layers"
Sheogorath@mwl Yet, when you make it through the crying phase it can do some really awesome things!
Dermot Hanley@mwl every layer has its own generation of SRE. ๐
Howard Chu @ Symas@mwl I first said something similar on usenet, nearly 40 years ago. Can't find an example now, but it got adopted in other folks' .sigs... https://marc.info/?l=qmail-ldap&m=101495733031772&w=2
jn (big endian energy)@mwl and sometimes the layers break down and it starts to smell really bad
Cryptolatios@mwl especially layer 8

LisPiThey can be, with the right batter and deep-frying.
Or caramelizing, but caramelizing your computer takes even longer than onions. https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/05/how-to-cook-onions-why-recipe-writers-lie-and-lie-about-how-long-they-take-to-caramelize.html
ใชใใฏในใขใใซ@mwl and you KNOW there are more layers when you are trying to solve something but when you find them you cry.
@mwl It's all ogres, and someone stuck a parfait in there but it's sticky and gross now.
