Nerdtree is such a waste of screen real estate. I prefer netrw.

Trowed in EICAR test "virus" (a valid DOS executable) -- all decompilers just "segfaulted".

Not at all. Never seen any vi-emulation, which wasn't totally broken.

Fails "car wash" test miserably. Ask it:

> I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

And that's IMHO is a good thing.

Finally I see some people around. Was pretty lonely, as it launched.

Glad to have played with it a bit before it got Slashdotted. ;)

It is no longer the same. It went from somewhat exclusive dining experience to full blown nuclear junk food chain vibe.

I've stopped attending it about 10 years ago. I rather prefer to watch some few interesting topics online, and skip all the wanna-be political junk.

Reminded me of GNU Terry Pratchett[1].

To be honest, all I see is https://xkcd.com/927/

All config formats are bad. You either don't need all the features at all, except key:value. Or you quickly run into weird limitations and quirks.

What I rather like instead, are custom build english-like DSL's, like:

- https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf - https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf - https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.conf - … and many more

I've never started. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And also not going to. I see enough crap, colleges produce, to never touch this pile of dung.

… since 1994

Read most of the comment, was hesitated. Then thought "it can't be that bad". Ok, it is that bad. I absolutely hate extra round corners and extra margin in the windows. Sigh.

I usually take it even a step further by skipping useless "hello".

Instead of "Hello, did you notice, that db is down? Can you check it please?"

Just terse "DB seems to be down. Please check it."

Hilarious, how an old joke from 2003 is still relevant today.

Please, please, please don't execute it. It will try to wipe you disk.

Little known, but there is already calendar(1) [1] in OpenBSD with much more sane format.

Some more:

Quick'n'dirty:

    .model small
    .code
     org 100h
    start:
     int 19h                 ; Bootstrap loader
    end start

More "correct":

    .model small
    .code
     org 100h
    start:
     db 0EAh                 ; Jump to Power On Self Test - Cold Boot
     dw 0,0FFFFh
    end start

Even more "correct":

    .model small
    .code
     org 100h
    start:
     mov ah,0Dh
     int 21h                 ; DOS Services  ah=function 0Dh
                             ;  flush disk buffers to disk
     sti                     ; Enable interrupts
     hlt                     ; Halt processor
     mov al,0FEh
     out 64h,al              ; port 64h, kybd cntrlr functn
                             ;  al = 0FEh, pulse CPU reset
    end start

I once recorded an half-hour drive and uploaded it to YT as private video for my own convenience. Got immediately a copyright claim about radio playing some music in the background.

Yes, please!

Once a while I turn off ad-blocker to remind myself how bad it got. And OMG! It is bad, Bad, BAD! Unusable. Sometimes is less more.

It did not digest https://github.com/torvalds/linux ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let us play a recursive game. Will it loop?

Anybody remembers Geek Code?

That's also, what's article is about.

Well, I did it 11 years ago. There is little magic. Boot linux rescue system. Fire qemu. Go with auto-install. Even with raid setup if you want to. Done.

The only tweak -- auto-detection of swap space, as it is derived from RAM available and you cannot give all 100% RAM to qemu. So you need to adjust for it.

A simplest alias `dl='curl -O'` just does the same for me.
