and you can just keep using windows 10 unactivated indefinitely, iirc it just says "not activated" in the bottom right corner of the screen and stops you from changing the desktop background

^this

windows 10 is free software; if you pay for it, you are probably supporting piracy

I was in the bathroom at the math building cleaning the gunk off a fresh tattoo that covers a good chunk of my arm. Some guy walks in and starts chatting with me about it sayin stuff like "Ah bro fresh ink?? Nice bro did it hurt at all? Yeah it can sting bro I like those lines though real good work bro. First one? Niiice welcome to the club bro! How long did it take? Six hours? Wow you must sit real good, I almost tapped out of mine. Check it out" and he rolled up his shirt sleeve and flexed and he had the word Ubuntu written in cursive on his inner bicep

I’ve run a relatively recent emacs quite happily on 25MHz 68040 systems with only tens of megabytes of RAM

try that with VS Code

sure vi requires even fewer resources but so does ed and I’m not exactly going to use that day to day either

When I started my current job, the way to create a new user was to run Firefox on a remote server via X11 to open a cgi page that, for security reasons, only answered on localhost. There, you would create the user, the system would set a random password, and you'd note those details by hand on a piece of paper, and hand it to the user.

That was five years ago. The cgi-bin script put the password into NIS, Active Directory (via ssh to a cygwin sshd on a Windows server 2008 R2 machine., and Samba.

I don't know why I wrote all this, it's kind of traumatic tbh.

Anyway, don't do that.
