During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.
I've been listening to this #podcast called 'Ghost Wax'. It's kind of like #SCP but it's focus are on the stories of the people murdered by the anomalies.
It ends up making this more like a monster of the week with a thorough line for a bigger story.
But man if there's one story that I really enjoyed, it's definitely this episode - you don't need to know the main story. But it is like hearing a tale of a dead soul trapped in a #HieronymusBosch painting.
Started listening to the #SCP: Find Us Alive #podcast and it's so good, the main host's voice is one fo the few who gives actual competition to #WelcomeToNightVale's too which is a nice plus.
This should boot up on your run of the mill S-100 based system with an 8086. Maybe an 8080 too? Also, it reportedly runs under #simH as a virtual machine. According to some, this is the earliest known version of #86-DOS, not long after replacing #QDOS as its successor....
I am a #British programmer and hobbyist #Poet. I was born in #Spain, and raised in the UK (I am of English-Scottish heritage.) I enjoy many things, but these are my favourites:
What if all the reality-benders, memetic cognitohazards, pataphysical narrative-rewriting and other anomalies the #SCP Foundation seeks to classify and contain are really just Young People(tm) culture that it is hopelessly bewildered by and out of touch with?
So I was up until like 5am last night reading more SCP things. A fun place to start is https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 and reading through all the other SCPs they've attempted to destroy it with.
@gregeganSF@jonhendry@krampus "March 2031: In a discovery published on arXiv today, scientists report a memetic virus known as "SKIM" has infected 37% of Apple devices over the last decade. it presents as a file reader that can handle postscript, as used for many scientific papers on arXiv; but on opening it deletes the user's memory of installing it and replaces it with an urge to recommend it to others.
In any case, it looks like a very nice app, so I'm glad I have it" #SCP
Mit scp -l 500000 lässt sich der upload/download mit scp auf ein Geschwindigkeitslimit beschränken, falls man eine schwache Leitung hat und den Rest gerne gleichzeitig benutzen möchte. #ssh#linux#scp
I'm addicted to listening to #scp documents before bed (easily found on youtube). Usually there is such nonsense that I fall asleep without problems right in the middle of the story🙂

I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
SCP: Secret Files is an odd game that's based around SCP (which stands for "Secure. Control. Protect."), and is a collaborative story writing wiki about paranormal anomalies.
I'm not going to try and explain SCP beyond that; you either know what SCP is, or you don't, and if you know what SCP is, you either know if it's a "you" thing, or if it isn't.
I know what SCP is, and it's not a thing that grabs me. In SCP: Secret Files, you find yourself as a new recruit in SCP, (the organisation that the SCP wiki is ostensibly about), and working through SCP "casefiles".
I played through 51 minutes of this game because I wanted to see how the first story ended (one of several different stories within the game), and it was somewhat disappointing.
I stumbled across this the other day - Old DOS Never dies... (ia801209.us.archive.org)
