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.

If 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.

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?

So, Dschinghis Khan is apparently not only still active, but original members of the Eurodisco group formed two separate groups both calling themselves Dschinghis Khan, which resulted in one of the former members filing suit against another for trademark infringement.

I've just been corrected by dosnostalgic on birdsite: DOS 6 and Windows 9x didn't have EDLIN, either. Oops.

FYI, artists on Instagram: They're allowing (and encouraging) anyone to use your images and footage for their own Reels and Stories without your permission. And it's automatic. You have to opt out of it if you don't want to give permission.

So, they're pretty much saying "Use anything you find here without asking and don't give any credit--that's okay!"
