This is a photo of my friend Sam’s desktop (physical): The pin, Sam tells me, is “a promotional tie pin from the 1960s X-24 hypersonic plane program”; the shell “is just a shell I found.” What we are interested in for the purposes of this newsletter, however, is the attractive vintage mousepad.
This person would ace an audition for “minor character in a William Gibson novel.” The best, and most convincing, part is the matter-of-fact-ness of this character. Sometimes, people just train student in Linux administration and the occult!
Deeply curious to learn more about the people who are not lineally descended from an ancient family
This article reads like the old-school internet. I'm here for it.

Love the roundabout way of describing Linux, I too initially read it as something proprietary and esoteric.
(not the Sam described above)
Hell yes. This is the kind of bonkersness internet findings I come here for.
Can you ask your friend Sam what kind of mechanical keyboard he's using in that photo?
Ahhhh. Absolute chaos. Just how I like it
Yeah, I very vaguely remember that guy. Revenge of Usenet, huh?
