Do you (yes you, you personally) read the name as "Shhh, it just works" or "Shit just works".

2, i hadn't even thought of the first one, funny thought, thanks

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Ditto. Nice one.

The former for sure 🤣 my headcannon is that @[email protected] is running this off of a server in a corner that his bosses rarely check.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

it's also dark magic, "b-but it's a microwave, h-how??" "shh, it just works"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I read it as shit just works but I love your take so much that I'm switching.

I'm here because my first thought it was a funny reference to Todd Howard. And while I like your head canon, I hope @[email protected] never disclose it, so it stays unclear just for the lulz

Yeah, let's be honest. We saw the name, laughed, and said that's the place for me!

Shit just works

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When I suggested the subdomain name, I was mostly being a smartass, but I was also referencing secure shell. I never even thought of it as shhh, it just works, that's great.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah someone else pointed out shell and I'm kicking myself for missing it!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

"Shit just works", but that's just because I came here when others were overwhelmed, so...

Definitely this one

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I alternate depending on my mood. Mostly I read it as shhh it just works.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I just have small aneurysms for each dot, sh - it - just ... works?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I still say it as "shit I suck at instance naming"

sh.itjustworks is brilliant

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

shell it just works -but I am slowly transitioning to shit just works

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Tangentially it took me absolute years to start reading smh.com.au as "Sydney Morning Herald.com.au" and not "shaking my head.com.au."

Mainly because the Herald's news always seems to radiate deep Florida-man energy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

First second, then first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I promise it sh-it just works. With a little stop in the middle of shit. But not like shhhhh it just works.

I thought this instance is about saying how IT folks do their job well, but saying it quietly?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

No, it’s about saying IT does nothing but work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I thought the joke was that it was both, but that some of it legitimately stood for something else, in the beginning, but that both nicknames... Just work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's the shit!

Which I think is a good thing unless society has changed it again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I may or may not be a sufferer of self-harm, so I’m used to saying “sh”. So I usually call it, “s-h it just works”
