I don’t intend to do much with Win95. I just want to be able to boot it, if I want to check how certain things worked or looked in that version. The purpose of this really is to be an archeological digsite.

$TERM variables. Leave $TERM at whatever value the terminal itself sets and use an appropriate terminfo file for it. If there are programs misbehaving, they probably blindly assume XTerm and should be fixed (or have XTerm as a hard requirement). If you try to fix this on your end, it’ll likely just break other programs. 🥴

Jokes aside, I like IaaS as a middle ground. There are IaaS hosters who allow you to spin up VMs as you wish and connect them in a network as you wish. You get direct access to all those Linux boxes and to a layer 2 network, so you can do all the fun networking stuff like BGP, VRRP, IPSec/Wireguard, whatever. And you never have to worry about failing disks, server racks getting full, cable management, all that. 😅
I’m confident that we will always need people who do bare-bones or “low-level” stuff instead of just click some Cloud service. I *guess* that smaller companies don’t use Cloud services very often (because it’s way too expensive for them).

In my case, it was mpd which triggered this:
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/2241
mpd doesn’t actually do anything, it just sits there and waits for events. To my understanding, this is similar to something blocking on
read(). I’m not quite sure yet if displaying this as I/O wait (or “PSI some io”) is intentional or not – but it sure is confusing.

What does look strange, though, is that your client came up with the hash
pqsmcka, while it should have been te5quba. 🤔

The “export data” feature on the Mastodon instance I’m using seems to be broken. I’ve contacted the admins but we couldn’t find the issue – yet. I don’t want to bother them too much, it’s a free service after all.
But this means that everything I post over there is very, very volatile. It could all be gone in 5 minutes and I’ll have no way to restore it. Hmm.

But now I’m *this close* to implementing the same thing in my own shell – because it’s probably *much, much easier* than multiline stuff. 😅
