If you’re interested, let me tell you a story of a weird bug that I encountered, that we just cannot figure out how it happened.
I recently created a new test account to our system. Set the password and went through the intro flow, login seems to work fine.
Today I try to login using Bitwarden—as that’s where I saved the login credentials—and noticed that the system now says the password is incorrect. Ok, no big deal. I’ll just reset the password.
But after reset, same thing happens. I autofill password from Bitwarden (and made sure even that it’s the correct password by inspecting the input field value) but the password is still incorrect.
So to make sure I’m actually using the correct password, I paste it manually. Now the login works.
Stunned I thought it has to be Bitwarden issue then, but nope: LastPass does the exact same thing.
And to make things even more weird, all the other accounts work when using LastPass or Bitwarden just fine.
There are a few things that make the broken account a bit different from others and I’m trying to replicate it by checking those, but those are all things that should affect our end, which shows the account fine and the login does actually work so it’s not that either.
None of us have any idea what might be the cause. It seems impossible thing to even happen but here we are. I bet it’s cursed.

- customer asks “Ein Bier bitte.”
- the bar has not been initiatlized
- two customers walk into the bar in quick succession. Then four thousand customers walk into the bar all at once.
- a blind customer literally walks into the bar and bangs their knee; asks what beers are on tap because the color scheme for the menu has insufficient contrast

@michael_w_busch@mastodon.online oy. we truly cannot have nice things. (but also, Boom's test flight showed it's possible to go supersonic and not produce an audible boom at ground level; actual scientific and engineering progress is involved here beneath all the misinformed hype generation of the administration. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_XB-1#Testing )

I bought the tool secondhand somewhere in #Edmonton, #Alberta sometime shortly after the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic, as one of many quasi-random #tools and #materials I would end up testing and using to create my own masks that would be safe for me to wear for long periods and provide the best degree of homemade #PPE protection I could manage whilst also avoiding problems with #allergies (such as metal on nose-fittings).

Just a dude having fun working on the #Jellyfin #Roku client. After 15 years of #webdesign I switched over to #programming. Because of this, I think of most programming problems in website terms. #horror #punk #guitar #music #movies #skateboarding #Foss #OSS #technology #opensource #fedi22 "Punk and skating may have damaged your brain..." - deathsheadpress

@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social It's very much a thing. In fact, it's how we test our builds when working on the client.

“In relative peacetime of no major outbreaks, no major pandemics, it’ll be fine,” said Jill Taylor, who directed the Wadsworth Center, New York State’s public health laboratory, until October 2020.
But, she said, “If we have an emergency all of a sudden, God help us.”
