I'm referring to the sh.itjustworks instance. Which one would be it? Because I'm kind of confused..

Shi Tju - STW orks

It’s pronounced like it was something named in the universe of Dune: Zhid-Ghuwerst. You have to raise your eyebrows while you say it, as that’s part of the expression.

sh. it's plausible deniability 🤫

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 2 days ago

I've always read it as "shit just works". Why would the "sh" be there if we weren't supposed to read it?

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago

No, it's a comforting "sh" like "shhhhh", don't worry, it just works.

It's only one h for the double entendre.

Mostly both.

[-] dsilverz@thelemmy.club 48 points 3 days ago

Some alternative , nerdy interpretations follow:

  • sh: it just works. You don't need bash, zsh, fish, tcsh or anything else, just running sh will provide a shell environment.
  • sh: IT just works. Similar to the previous interpretation, but also stating that IT (Information Technology, which is meant to mean the IT department) just works with sh.

Imagine a greasy old IT technician coming up to you, putting a finger on your lips and gently saying that after you gasped about the entangled mess of hundreds of Ethernet cables in the server room

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It's "S Hit Just Works" and it's the slapping car meme.

The "S" is because the car salesman has a slight lisp.

Slaps Instance this bad boy just works.

[-] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Probably the latter. I've seen it abbreviated as SJW, that's unnecessary don't do that. Am I old?

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 11 points 3 days ago

I dunno, sjw is a lot shorter than shit just works

[-] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 days ago

Yeah but... SJW means something else lmfao

Savior, Jesus Wept

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

For starters, because .w is not a valid TLD, and j.w would be registered in about 50 milliseconds if it ever became one.

[-] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Idk but I picked the instance for the sense of humor in the name either way.

My brain pronounces it as the latter, though the extra jokes make it better.

[-] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Shit just works - forever and always.

(shh, it just works and shit just works are both valid - the intent was the former IIRC - but the latter is obviously the superior choice. I'm also partial to sh.it.heads when referring to users [cheeky, but thought about in the same way as Deadheads for Grateful Dead fans])

Hmmm. What if it's because the admin was an old school Linux user and never took to bash. "sh. it just works".

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 11 points 2 days ago

Shell it just works

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 14 points 3 days ago

I always assumed that it was supposed to be ambiguous between them for humor purposes

[-] eskimofry@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Shhh... we don't ask such things around here.. it just works (tm) that way..

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago

Why not both?

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Shhhhhhh... ^itjustworks^

Its:

"shhh... nothing is broken, ignore all the bugs and pretend it all just works, mm'kay?"

sh.itjust.works

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Since DNS is hierarchical, it could be set up so that they both work.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

“it just works”

The “Sh” is silent…

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

or at least very quiet

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

I always read it as

ess heych dot it just works

[-] ALERT@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

unacceptable

Id put it in the words of god Howard:
It just works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPN0qhSyWy8

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz -3 points 2 days ago

I pronounce it "this post hidden due to instance block settings".

[-] Link@rentadrunk.org 12 points 2 days ago

Any reason you have blocked the instance?

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

The general trend of the behaviour of the userbase when it first began appearing. I'm pretty block-happy. I'm sure it's an over-generalisation but I've learned over the years that I'd rather miss out than feel constantly annoyed.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

because they didn't censor the bad word?

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I mean at least they've said that they blocked it, would have been awkward to try to actually respond to him and just have them never be able to see the post lmao, looking at their post history, I went ahead and blocked them as well because like I could totally see myself trying to respond to him cuz we share a lot of the same communities.

Instance blocking does not also block users

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

ah good point, I was under the understanding that it blocks both since that's what happens when I block an instance. I guess that's a client feature.
