Ordering the same old Windows-crash and Arch-brag memes at the Krusty Krab

Description

Six-panel SpongeBob scene: a teal fish customer faces cashier Squidward behind the Krusty Krab counter. Panel 1 shows the fish saying, “I’ll have a…”. Panel 2 continues with overlaid text: “"Windows blue screen in public" picture,”. Panel 3 the fish adds: “"Updating windows meme"”. In panel 4 Squidward frowns, captioned “How original”. Panel 5 the fish finishes: “and one "I use arch btw"”. Panel 6 Squidward, now smirking, responds, “Daring today, aren’t we”. The meme jokes about the developer community repeatedly recycling three cliché operating-system jokes: photos of public BSODs, Windows-update rage, and Linux users flexing that they use Arch. It highlights OS culture wars, predictable bug humor about crashes, and tired yet enduring dev-community meme formats

After 20 years in tech, you realize the real blue screen of death is watching junior devs discover Docker for the first time and immediately suggesting we containerize the legacy COBOL system that's been running flawlessly since 1987

The real irony here is that by the time you finish explaining why your Arch setup is superior, the Windows machine has already blue-screened twice, auto-updated, rebooted, and is now asking if you want to set up Cortana - while your Arch system is still compiling dependencies for a text editor you installed three hours ago

Public BSOD, forced update, and 'I use Arch, btw' - the CAP theorem of dev memes: choose any two and you still lose originality

BSOD in public, Windows updating mid-demo, and “I use Arch btw” - three punchlines to the same root cause: your CAB is a calendar invite nobody attends

Welcome to linux community, where we laugh at the same 6 jokes
1. @beton_kruglosu_totchno 5y
  
  windows FS performance windows' memory footprint windows' syscalls CPU footprint windows' respect for privacy windows' uptime windows' CPU scheduler
  
  @feskow 5y
  
  I actually have little information on how good is NTFS' performance compared to ext4 or btrfs
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  not easy to compare. Neanderthal Technology File Shredder aka NTFS sucks anyways.
  
  @sashakity 5y
  
  neanderthal technology file shredder lmao
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  I believe it's less about the specific file systems & more about linux just being really fucking good at handling them. Something about nodes and stuff, I'm not really an expert on this topic.
@feskow 5y

what's the seventh?
@feskow 5y

i might forget it because i code when stressed......
@sashakity 5y

inodes
1. @RiedleroD 5y
  
  that
@sashakity 5y

linux filesystems do be having permissions tho
1. @feskow 5y
  
  I think windows has too ?
  
  @sashakity 5y
  
  very primitive
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  isn't it more complicated than linux's one?
  
  @sashakity 5y
  
  my understanding of it is you have to enter in an admin password to access files outside of your user directory
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  it's more than that afaik. It has a similar structure to linux's permissions, except there isn't an owner, but a list of users that can access it, with write-read-execute set per user.
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  don't quote me on that though
  
  @sashakity 5y
  
  ahh i see
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  and windows also has some builtin system protection from the user, so you get warned before deleting system32, and can't delete some other stuff at all (even with administrator rights)
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  actually, files can be owned by either a user or a group.
  
  @beton_kruglosu_totchno 5y
  
  you cannot imagine how wrong you are
  
  @sashakity 5y
  
  jokes on you i can
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  $ /bin/echo 'you are wrong' > /tmp/meh
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  using /bin/ to call a binary is haram
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  it shows you can indeed access files outside your homedir
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  still haram

  /dev/sda "you are wrong"
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  …that doesn't even do anything
  
  Deleted Account 5y
  
  it does if you dd your echo onto your /dev/sda beforehand
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  I believe that's impossible.
  
  Deleted Account 5y
  
  hold on imma try it
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  it is, iff the random data happens to be equal to the contents of your disk
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  I got that part, I just think you can't just write data to disk by writing to /dev/sda
  
  Deleted Account 5y
  
  i'm gonna do it
  
  @RiedleroD 5y
  
  sduo
  
  Deleted Account 5y
  
  nvm
  
  Deleted Account 5y
  
  oh
  
  @sylfn 5y
  
  next step: installing windows
  
  @gDanix 5y
  
  WOW I liked that joke a lot... Of course, that dd command has chances of leaving the disk unmodified, if you're so lucky that dd reads from urandom exactly the same bit string that your disk has written in the surface. Assuming urandom is a perfect random number generator (which is not), then your chances are 0.5 to the power of the number of bits you read and wrote
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  /dev/sda: Permission denied

  look, it works on my machine
  
  @t3alw1re 5y
  
  complicate, yes. wouldn't call it primitive tho. they look more like a NFS4 ACL.
  
  @feskow 5y
  
  Well just checked, files have owners, you can add rights to all admins, system and specified users
@sashakity 5y

on ntfs everything shows up as rwxrwxrwx
@sashakity 5y

its not built in to the filesystem, its just the operating system
@sashakity 5y

unless theres something i dont know about, its not like i use windows actively lol
@sashakity 5y

i wonder why linux always sees files on ntfs filesystems as rwxrwxrwx then...
@sashakity 5y

lol
