🔁︎ Dr. Quadragon ❌
A once young but now not so man stands in his bedroom. Which is also his kitchen and office, and overall the only room he has. It just so happens that at this very date, fifteen long years ago, a webcomic came out that transcended everything he has ever experienced in media, endowed him with many wonderful friendships and transformed his life forever. Though it was so long ago, his memories of times together with his companions, with their joy and fascination with this absolutely phenomenal work of art are still as fresh as spring dew in a newly created world. In fact, one of those beautiful soulmates, by the name of @n0icz stands beside him. Most of others, like @pastecat, @lost_enchanter, @ralsei and @Jack and @ZySoua et al. are scattered around the world, as well as @Chia, @th3rdsergeevich and @vertka, though they are not that far. The man, has been stuck at home. Nevertheless, his eyes are of joyful tears and his feelings are of utmost gratitude. Thank you, #homestuck. Happy #413

> turing complete filenames

oh, this reminded me of how I'm trying to write a #VimScript library that would allow load (and sometimes save) buffers with names like:

archive+zip://[https:%2F%2Fexample.com%2Farchive.zip]/path/inside/archive/file.txt

given two separate plugins for http(s) and for archives on top of it

discouraged IT terms
Why complementary to "master" is always "slave"? Why not "apprentice" or "pet"?

Another one. This one is probably less thought through

Also, what are these cover images Telegram Android shows? I have no idea where they come from

I hate when data entry & output in programs I use is locale-aware.
It's one of the reasons to switch the system to US locale. But the problem with US locale is the horiible date format. And I hate that all locales except "C" are named by language-country pairs. What if I despise all regional locales? Give me "ISO" locale, please. The only way I know to get the ISO time format on Linux C programs is to set LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8(. I mean, with enough desperation/motivation I could just learn/copypaste the locale dsl & edit system configs with it). The problem with that that JavaScript/Web doesn't know such locale so it falls back to the US time format. (I think I've seen a locale identified with another country that does this in web, but it doesn't work in C with default Linux locale database)

Was it really scheduled for today?
I think I regularly make sure for it to be scheduled at least several months into the future.
Maybe I messed up the year in the picker?

our GPN22 talk about insane bash crimes is now up on media.ccc.de! If you missed it, here’s a link:

https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn22-244-bash-is-a-systems-programming-language

It features some really cool libraries I’ve been working on, multiple ones of which are really stretching the language thin. Also one REALLY cool project from @mei (no spoilers tho, go watch it)!
