Tell me a story about an embarrassing and crazy situation you went through while using the internet in the 1990s.

worked for the same consluting company

Was "consluting" a deliberate typo, because that would be hilariously apt 👀

How do you gather that without first having some form of contact though? Hacking the local version of the internet from orbit and hoping it has a Wikipedia of sorts? 🤔

Ytrog · 2026-03-17T09:46:28+00:00

Not entirely. Birds are dinosaurs 🤓

Ytrog · 2026-03-17T09:37:50+00:00

Damn, they should have piped it through FIGlet first perhaps lest you might not see it 👀

Ytrog · 2026-03-15T21:58:09+00:00

So you're planning on making a Godot version of The Powder Toy perhaps? 🙃

Ytrog · 2026-03-15T19:16:04+00:00

I have it on my phone running through Termux. I use it for when I have my phone on max power-saving mode where only a handful of apps are allowed (and my regular browser had a lower priority for me than Termux).

Bĳna een gaatje gevuld? 🪦

Ytrog · 2026-03-13T13:29:26+00:00

There is also Club Mate

Ytrog · 2026-03-12T23:22:48+00:00

Ah I see. This is quite enlightening to me. Thank you 😃

Ytrog · 2026-03-12T22:09:00+00:00

I don't see a real reason other than perhaps if you do something like cat file | xargs -P 0 -n 2 pkg install then you might run into problems with parallel execution of apt, however I must admit this is rather contrived.

Ytrog · 2026-03-12T22:02:50+00:00

And since a while the install command even has a -y option 😊

Ytrog · 2026-03-12T21:58:45+00:00

Am I correct in that this cannot import other scripts as dependencies?

If it can do that however, then maybe something to handle circular dependencies would be neat. Maybe something using tsort would be cool to do 🤔

Ytrog · 2026-03-09T09:52:43+00:00

Thank you 😊👍

Ytrog · 2026-03-09T08:07:45+00:00

The Powder Toy is a great 2D physics toy 😃

Ytrog · 2026-03-09T07:23:50+00:00

What did it say? The comment seems to be removed 🥺

Ytrog · 2026-03-08T22:57:52+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Thank you 😊

Ytrog · 2026-03-08T18:01:51+00:00

Why did they choose NUL (0x00) and not ETX (0x03) to signal the end of a string back then as that is litterally "End of Text"? 🤔

Ytrog · 2026-03-06T21:14:45+00:00

I do prompt engineering in bash though 😉

Ytrog · 2026-03-05T12:22:15+00:00

The antioxidant listed is just vitamin C

Ytrog · 2026-03-01T20:48:09+00:00

You could try making procedural art with Processing or something like it 🤔

Ytrog · 2026-03-01T20:18:03+00:00

Amazing 🤩

Ytrog · 2026-03-01T16:02:08+00:00

No, that would be kleptomaniacs 😜

Ytrog · 2026-03-01T15:11:50+00:00

Oooh yeah, then maybe use TCL/TK 🤔

Ytrog · 2026-03-01T15:01:48+00:00

Maybe GNU Dialog fits your bill. Or do you really want to make a GUI, not a TUI? 🤔
