IRC is just as relevant in 2022 as it was in 2012, 2002, and 1992. Social media may have made IRC networks thinner, but IRC is still as lively as any walled garden social media network.

BTW, my search terms included neither "eye" nor "massager," so I have no idea how this dudebro turned Joker victim ended up in my results.

Folks, I have found the best shades ever. Just look at this guy. (Source: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QXK48V9/ )

Need a quick ruler to line up text columns or ASCII art in ed(1)?

!printf "....#....\%s" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

(GNU ed didn't properly strip the '\' from the '\%' escape until version 1.18. In GNU ed 1.17 & earlier, use only 3 dots after the # sign.)

YouTube recommended a video on that time when the Dutch ate their Prime Minister, & it ran two pre-watch ads. Both ads were for food. Good job, Internet Boob Tube.

#FreeBSD If #LazarusIDE stops with this debugger error, check that your system isn't *too* hardened: `sysctl security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug=1` should let gdb/lldb attach & debug-run your program.

@porsupah It could be, aye. I've withheld feedback on a purchase that was very sloppily shipped and made extra work for me.

A lot of Microsoft Knowledge Base articles linked to Hotfix programs downloadable from the Microsoft Download Center. The MSKB was culled, & the MSDC is gone. MSKB article archives exist, but they have only dead links, no files.

Does anyone have an archive of MSDC files?

And on SourceForge, which is newer?? FreeDOS edlin: https://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos-edlin/

I also forgot FreeDOS wrote their own EDLIN port: https://github.com/FDOS/edlin

@lopta I wonder if FreeDOS edlin compiles in 64-bit. I've been meaning to try, but building anything on Windows is a long and painful experience for me.
