How many IPs am I supposed to block, eh?
When tidying up my good mate's birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can't describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D

systemctl uses ANSI escape codes to underline text (
\e[4m) and then it also uses special escape codes – that Wikipedia classifies as “not in the standard”, but I haven’t looked it up – to *change the color of the underline*. That color change is barely noticeable in the first place.Some terminals don’t support this and now my systemctl output is *blinking* because of that.

gcr thing running with *debug logs enabled* that print stuff like “sending secret exchange: …”? Is this healthy?)

~/bin that you use daily, but you haven’t edited them once in well over 10 years …
Speaking of OS/2 … I just realized that Windows 3.x didn’t have icons, either. If I’m not mistaken, this only got added in Windows 95. In other words, OS/2 had this feature before Windows did, because at least OS/2 2.1 from 1993 had icons. Who would have thunk.
(Now I kind of want to know which system really introduced this feature.)
Nice, I never came in contact with OS/2.

> I like the looks of your window manager. That's using Wayland, right?
Oh, no. It’s still X11. All my recent Wayland comments resulted from me trying to switch, but I think it’s still too early. Being unable to use QEMU (because it can’t capture the mouse pointer) is a pretty big blocker for me. This is completely broken, it just happens to be unnoticeable with modern guest OSes, so it’s probably not a priority for devs.
(Not to mention that I would have to fork and substantially extend dwl in order to “replicate” my X11 WM. And then, after having done that, I’d have to follow upstream Wayland development, for which I don’t have the resources. Things would need to slow down before I can do that.)
> all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!@1
Heh. I’ve been using tiling WMs for ~15 years now, so it’s actually kind of refreshing to see something different for a change. 😅
> Probably close to the older Windowses.
That particular theme is a ripoff of OS/2 Warp 3: https://movq.de/v/6c2a948882/s.png 😅
> We ran some similar brownish color scheme (don't recall its name) on Win95 or Win98
Oh god. Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of those, either. 🥴~

Your brown and gray is a lovely combination.
And GNOME used to have them, too: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Gnome-2-22_%284%29.png
I like the looks of your window manager. That's using Wayland, right? The only thing on this screenshot to critique is all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!@1 At least the file browser. 8-)
This drives me nuts when my workmates share their screens. I really don't get it how people can work like that. You can't even read the whole line in the IDE or log viewer with all the expanded side bars. And then there's 200 pixels on the left and another 300 pixels on the right where the desktop wallpaper shows. Gnaa! There's the other extreme end when somebody shares their ultra wide screen and I just have a "regularish" 16:10 monitor and don't see shit, because it's resized way too tiny to fit my width. Good times. :-D
Sorry for going off on a tangent here. :-) Back to your WM: It has the right mix of being subtle and still similar to motif. Probably close to the older Windowses. My memory doesn't serve me well, but I think they actually got it fairly good in my opinion. Your purple active window title looks killer. It just fits so well. This brown one (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-07-22/0/leafpads.png) gives me also classic vibes. Awww. We ran some similar brownish color scheme (don't recall its name) on Win95 or Win98 for some time on the family computer. I remember other people visting us not liking these colors. :-D
