BOFH LOG: THE NIX-FLAKE LOBOTOMY

Some genius in HR decided that "reproducibility" was the new corporate buzzword. They wanted every workstation to be a perfect, immutable clone. So, I gave them what they wanted. I rolled out a Nix configuration that was so "pure" it didn't even include a driver for the mouse.

When the Head of Sales called, screaming that he couldn't click his "Big Red Bonus" spreadsheet, I told him it was a security feature. "Direct brain-to-CLI interface only," I said. "It's the new standard for high-performance synergy."

I watched the CCTV as he spent forty minutes trying to type ls -la with his forehead.

Meanwhile, the server room was humming a beautiful tune. I’d set the cooling fans to play a funeral march every time a user failed a sudo attempt. By noon, the office sounded like a graveyard. I’ve now locked the entire finance department into a containerized sandbox where the only available text editor is ed. If they want to process payroll, they’ll have to earn it.

I’m currently sipping a stolen bottle of the CEO’s 20-year-old scotch while watching the traffic logs for "Help" requests. I’ve routed all of them to a virtual printer that’s physically located in a dumpster in the basement.

Status: Immutable. User morale: Non-existent. Scotch: Excellent.
