Hyperbola GNU/Linux user. My main tools came from https://t3x.org, and https://github.com/howerj it's for fun (and sometimes enlightening purposes). tmux, tcc/cproc, oksh, nvi... keep it simple, stupid.

>io_uring is incredibly fast for async I/O but is also a massive security disaster in the Linux kernel

Torvalds bound it up with... DMABUF. Guess what will happen.

On Linux' future memory subsystem imported from a branch, the Asterinas' one in Rust it's miles ahead and far more secure. Like Windows 98 compared to NT.

They can migrate to a non-France server in no time.

No, just France.

Get a gopher client and join gopher://hngopher.com (r/o HN over gopher), gopher://magical.fish (huge portal, from a translator from text adventures over gopher, and even current news) and gopher://sdf.org. (blogs).

Gopher://typed-hole.org it's fine too.

You can run a subleq interpreter and some eforth image under 10 lines of awk, 13-14 with muxleq.

Nah, the PSP. Being a die hard geek/nerd I played both Slashem at 50MHZ with the CFW, MSX/GB/GBC/NES/SNES/MD/SMS/NeoGeo/Who-knows games under emulators, GBA games (being better on that far better than the GBA itself, savestates and a clear, big screen) and OFC its own PSP (and PSX eboots) games.

And Scummvm, too, to play some gems such as Broken Sword and Lucas Arts adventures.

And I my childhood I loved the Game Boy, but the PSP was almost the GBA I wanted in my early teen years, but enhanced. Oh, and it doubled as a portable media device, so I could watch videos on the go (before smartphones). I ripped up everything from a PC.

Target system 7.5.3, it will run far more stuff.

Then use Redox OS, or convince Torvalds to merge Asterinas' memory handling code into Linux.

SMB in the kernel and binding io_uring to DMABUF doesn't look pretty safe either.

Torvalds needs to borrow Rust code from Asterinas (and maybe Redox) ASAP.

jmacs.

Joe editor dates back to 1991 and it came with jpico, jmacs and jstar as pico, emacs and wordstar clones as a hard link.

There's a FFox plugin to enforce old.reddit.com's old CSS.

Recoll it's far smaller and it runs on a potato. It's a desktop search engine which can parse tons of files. Under GNU/Linux just install all the recommended dependencies for APT/RPM. Or just use Flatpak and to hell with transitive dependencies.

I'm from Spain, I know it well. Just check what happened with short-distance trains.

Also the train network was neglected a lot since the 70s-80s so the car and oil companies could earn huge profits.
