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

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

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

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

Ditto. Nice one.

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

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

Shit just works

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

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

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

It's the shit!

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

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] 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

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

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

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.
