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

Ditto. Nice one.

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!

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.

The former for sure 🤣 my headcannon is that @TheDude@sh.itjust.works is running this off of a server in a corner that his bosses rarely check.

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

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year 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 @thedude@sh.itjust.works 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!

[–] LlamaSutra@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Shit just works

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