I am being spammed by five-year-olds

Spam filters have gotten good enough that the only thing that gets through is total nonsense and awful spelling:

rpm crashes / won’t respond

RPM is a little like windows — it’s chaotic, and if it’s disturbed everything blows up and there’s nothing you can do. But, if you find that rpm suddenly stops working and none of the commands work, try doing:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*

and it might just work again. As always, you should have backups.

Getting home

The train that i’m on is the last one of the night. Understandably it’s not taking off right away. It’s the last one of the night and it needs to wait for connecting trains on other lines. But some individuals are getting impatient and deciding to get out and hail a cab. It’s not like the train isn’t going to leave!
