Your OBTF post has really gotten me excited about reading and writing in a way that is elusive to me. Frictionless idea-dumping is where it's at.

When you were talking about the "zen" software I thought you made it up. Boy was I surprised when I read the article you linked about it. That is indeed very dystopian. Thanks for sharing.

I'm on the side of the man enjoying a cocktail while swimming in a bin full of water.

if I was minding my own business being weird in my garden I would also get extremely aggressive towards a guy in a car who pulled up and started filming me

The actual technical analysis of the CrowdStrike thing. tldr: Their testing didn't fully mimic production, they didn't test each individual parameter, just threw in a wildcard, so their automated tests didn't catch a "memory out-of-bounds" error way out in the 21st input parameter. https://www.crowdstrike.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Channel-File-291-Incident-Root-Cause-Analysis-08.06.2024.pdf

I believe this applies to everything digital right now. At the risk of sounding elitist (I'l definitely sound elitist), maybe things are like this: More accessibility = easier to make = less effort = less personal expense = less soul.

There's a reason old pieces of art inspire awe; once you realize just how much effort they must have taken (and here I'm just repeating what your entry says), it's incredible that they could have been made at all

Regarding your comment I accidentally deleted, my font used to be a standard Courier font stack (Courier New, or Courier, or fallback to generic monospace), but I made the jump to a "web font" with an updated version, Courier Prime as you noted. It's cleaner, modernized and in TrueType format.

All credit to the plain text nerds of yesteryear. Still, I'm happy to have inspired you by sharing the idea.
What I meant to say was, welcome to the cult of OBTF ;-)
All hail :)
