  • Reg Shoe from the Ankh-Morpork city watch, from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (RIP)

    A zombie has to pay attention to everything around them, to make sure any damage is fixed ASAP. It makes Reg a great detective.

    Plus his pre zombie character in Night Watch is a parody of John Cleese’s Revolutionary Reg in The Life of Brian



  • I would say make the top bar the same or similar to the excellent title bars you’ve already got. Currently feels like they’re from 2 different systems.

    EDIT my personal preference is to colour the minimize maximize close buttons.

    Other ideas: round the corners just a tiny bit. Make the dock look more like the taskbar maybe. See if there’s examples from “Windows 95 Plus!” Which I think had extra themes.

    EDIT 2: it looks great, you’ve done a good job here I like it!


  • Like once a year or something.

    Too much manipulation by racists, nazis, and russia. All they have to do is tell 4chan that doing x/y/z will offend people, and suddenly they are a willing personal army.

    Back when stormfront said how easy it was to funnel chanfolk into their ideology, I honestly thought 4chan would break stormfront. I didn’t expect such enthusiasm for an ideology that would outlaw 4chan if it got enough power.




  • Mid 90s at work as a project support technician in Sony Broadcast R&D in the UK. Slackware, then red hat mostly. Installed Linux boxes in various digital TV stations in London in 1999/2000, used to insert interactive games into the broadcast stream.

    I was a sysadmin from 99 to about 2018, from then onwards I’m more DevOps. Done a bunch of stuff with CentOS too, including migrating 500k email accounts to our hosted solution. Other cool stuff included a VMware based development environment using Foreman + FreeIPA to auto provision dev VMs with all sorts of puppet code.

    Now at home I run Fedora and work on macOS, writing Terraform and Python. And some nodejs too.

    Been at it a long ass time now lol
