    That test is actually funny, in a good way; like how you said you got those links in the first place on the about page is pretty much what any experienced web dev finds out day-to-…

    A heck of a lot. Some scripts, other GUI, but out of all the one-offs there are mainly 2 I use every day: - s3d: fast(ish) image viewer. Basic but it gets the job done. - Thoth: Te…

    Yup. Looks like I'm not the only one seeing this. I dropped out 2 years ago despite being on there since 2015 which in my opinion was its peak. It was a great place to chat with ot…

    1055 points and still counting. How cool is that? The system usage on this is well-designed. I'm using an ASUS F201E Notebook with Debian 10 and the CPU throttled down to 790Mhz (j…
