Think they are joking? A Cat Explains DNS

Probably never had a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster or ducked and turned to defeat a Somebody Else’s Problem Field either.

And there’s your problem. You’re echoing using double quotes which will interpret characters. Don’t do that. That’s a bug. cat or cp the file to the destination; printf if the contents are all in that variable.

Here’s what I’m reading:

startup-script line 27 threw the error.

I’m reading this and interpreting that line 27 of that script is

sudo echo "# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"

I am confused why there is no trailing double quote, the last 3 chars should be \"" so perhaps this is a bad assumption but the best I can do with the available information.

So the fix here is to change startup-script line 27 so that you’re not echoing things that might contain characters that might be interpreted by echo or your shell.

Now if startup-script is provided by your distro, there may be a reason that it’s using echo, but I will tell you now whatever dipshit reason they provide they’re fucking wrong because EXHIBIT A: # " fucks the script and rule 0 of linux is “don’t break userspace”.

Everything else allows any printable char after the # in a comment, that script is not special, comments are not to be interpreted by the program. That is a show-stopping bug in startup-script and must be fixed.

EOF

i think the real error was that you started the echo with a double quote and ended with a single quote. had you properly wrapped it with single quotes it would have worked. even if you had escaped the double quote, there still would have been an error because you’d have a multi-line string with no ending " (the 2nd double quote was properly escaped so that would not have terminated your string)

Also, you didn’t escape your slashes.

Either it should have looked like this:

echo '# FYI quotes(") must be escaped with \ like \"'

or this:

echo "# FYI quotes(\") must be escaped with \\ like \\\""

If only there were a special path like, oh I don’t know, /dev for device handles.

The internet rando that caused me to make this meme

I think I speak for everyone when I say

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

In the US, discussing salary with coworkers is protected speech. It helps people find out if they are being underpaid or unfairly discriminated against. I always share my salary information when asked and I think it’s important to do so.

My salary is not indicative of my net worth. I could have a 7 figure salary and be drowning in debt, or make 75K and be doing fairly well because of responsible choices.

I dislike the stigma of discussing salaries, and believe that it’s propagated by companies to dissuade workers from getting fair salaries.

Bill Clinton ordered the GPS system to be available for civilian use in 2000. The GPS system has replaced mechanical navigators on almost all boats and ships.

Who is it? Just rando or some reference?
