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

[–] jlj 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.

[–] god 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] RoquetteQueen 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

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.

[–] JohnnyCanuck 4 points 2 years ago

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

Definitely this one

[–] Catpocalypse 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [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

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

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

[–] Qwertzwerq 4 points 2 years ago

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

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.

First second, then first

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

[–] Frz 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Beastie 2 points 2 years ago

It's the shit!

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

[–] MrScottyTay 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.

[–] 220andLess 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Fidgetiegurl 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] 1 points 2 years ago
[–] miathecatgirl 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”

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