Fortunately I Don't Have A Reason To Scan My Face

When Discord announces they're adding facial recognition for... reasons... and suddenly everyone's migrating to the next trendy platform. Meanwhile you're just sitting there with your non-programmer friends trying to explain why this matters, but they're too busy sending TikToks to care about digital privacy.

The real kicker? Half the people rage-quitting Discord are probably still using Facebook Messenger and letting Google read their emails. But sure, *this* is where we draw the line. The cycle repeats every few years - remember when everyone was leaving WhatsApp? Yeah, they're all still there.

At least you tried to warn them. Now back to your terminal where the only thing watching you is htop.

November 18th 2025: A Developer Story

Ah, the classic "fix Cloudflare by pushing to GitHub" scenario. Because nothing says "I understand how infrastructure works" like pushing code changes to fix a third-party CDN outage. It's like trying to fix a power outage by changing the lightbulb. Somewhere, a DevOps engineer is silently screaming while a junior dev proudly announces they've "solved the problem" right before the entire internet magically comes back online on its own.

I Am The Admin, Therefore I Am The Problem

Ah, the existential crisis of being the sole IT deity in your organization. That moment when your own system tells you to contact yourself for help is peak tech absurdity. It's like getting a fortune cookie that says "Google it" when you work at Google. The panicked dog face perfectly captures that mental blue screen of death when you realize there's no higher power to escalate to—just you, staring into the void of your own technical limitations. The universe is basically saying "you're on your own, buddy" while you contemplate whether to open a support ticket addressed to your future, hopefully smarter self.

What Really Makes A Programmer Insecure?

Someone asked r/AskReddit "What screams 'I'm insecure'?" and the top answer is just "http://" — because nothing says emotional vulnerability quite like transmitting data in plaintext over an unencrypted connection. While everyone else is sharing deep psychological insights about human behavior, this programmer saw their moment and went straight for the jugular. The joke hits different when you realize we're all silently judging every website still running HTTP in 2024. That little padlock icon isn't just about security anymore; it's about self-respect.

Security? We Store That In Local Storage Too

When your SaaS business is running on a shoestring budget, but security is just a suggestion! Nothing says "enterprise-grade" like storing your entire user authentication data in the browser's local storage where anyone with F12 and 3 brain cells can access it. Firebase auth tokens just chilling in plain sight like they're sunbathing on a public beach. Password security? More like "password suggestion." Who needs proper backend authentication when you can just hope nobody knows how to open dev tools? This is what happens when "move fast and break things" meets "I learned coding from a $12.99 Udemy course that was 80% off."

The New IPv5 Addresses With A Fifth Octet

Ah, the mythical IPv5 has finally arrived, complete with a fifth octet. For those not in the know, IPv4 addresses have 4 octets (like 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 has 8 hexadecimal groups. This security camera boldly displaying "90.87.14.01.01" is basically the networking equivalent of finding a unicorn. Someone clearly skipped the entire IETF standardization process and went straight to production. Next up: TCP packets delivered via carrier pigeon.

DevOps Hate When You Use This One Trick

Everyone's having a normal day until that one developer casually SSH's into production as root. Nothing says "I choose chaos" quite like bypassing all security protocols and jumping straight into prod with admin privileges. Meanwhile, the kid who's probably responsible for this disaster is just sitting there with a smug grin, holding his juice box while the entire office has a collective heart attack. Security best practices? Never heard of 'em.
