    Funny enough I package software for installation on an enterprise network.

    So I just do it legally now.

    DevOps engineer for a SaaS company.

    There are far more non-nerds in comments than I would have expected.

    What the fuck did you just fucking ask about me, you little script kiddie? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in my community college helpdesk program, and I’ve been involved in numerous Vim vs Emacs debates on Reddit, and I have over 300 active torrents. I am trained in gorilla pentesting and I’m the top hacker in my entire IT department. You are nothing to me but just another end user. I will wipe your NAS device the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with asking that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of system admins across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your file system. You’re fucking pwned, kid. I can RDP anywhere, anytime, and I can hack you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my Nintendo Power Glove. Not only am I extensively trained in naked Dance Dance Revolution, but I have access to the entire arsenal of my IT department’s T430 Thinkpads and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your miserable computer off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” question was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn normie. I will DDOS all over your network card and you will drown in packets. You’re fucking pwned, kiddo.
