I would quote the good music but its so painful I couldn't find it

I am so so sorry but HOLY SHIT, this person just gave me the worst fucking imposter syndrome?? He wrote out a fun fortran and C program, and then wrote documentation in nroff, all while using SED, wha, my brain cant process somebody being this skilled, i still struggle writing basic C coursework, with VIM without having to constantly guess what line I am on, like, I gave up on roff when I couldnt figure it out.

@crmsnbleyd ooooohhhh!! coool

I'll take decentralized and janky over simple and evil.

big announcement for Friday: I have acquired a datacenter that has not been touched since approximately 2002, and is FULL of old 80s/90s/2000s IBM mainframe equipment. mainframes, disk arrays, tape drive strings, network processor boxes, and more!

all will be photographed (and posted here), also videographed!

the equipment is being moved to my place, where pubvm.org will be ran on an actual IBM System/370 mainframe!!!!

this is a six-sigma event, this is unfathomable rarity omg

@tante Look, I have spent enough time discouraging people from doing PhDs. They never listen. So I am now actively sabotaging people by encouraging them to Follow Their Dreams.
