This is gross, but I can’t stop looking at it.

Show us yours.

It’s recognizably the same person as the wiki page, but ya. She’s uncanny valley in that pic.

You are close. The original Adblock extension was mid-2000’s. Before that, we traded host files online in forums and shit. So I’ve been filtering the internet since Windows XP.

Them eggs aint cheap!

That was a grim, difficult read. The last paragraph is quite good, bringing the ideas together.

I really hate modern media. The advertising in it is the worst part, and being ingrained in every aspect of the media itself just makes it worse. I don’t watch TV, and I’ve been blocking ads since I had to curate my own host files in order to do so, well before the introduction of extensions that would do it for you. I find using today’s unfiltered internet just about as odious as watching TV.

It was hard just to read about that shit. Every word was a true, ugly reflection of the culture I live in.

Ah. Yes, it appears I’ve been using the ESU option. That was the simplest thing to do.
I use the registration utility from massgrave, added 3 years to my registration.

But right there on that page, they cover Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021.
It sounds like that’s what I need. Stripped down Win10. I like that idea.
Thanks, friend.

I like dark absurdity. Good job.

Oh god. This is gonna get weird …

Do ya think this guy is actually a replacement?
Like, they got him. He’s on life support somewhere, having his brain sucked out.
This is a droid. He’s gonna go join some subversive movement and report them to Google.

The find and replace is based off of the Notepad interface.
It does support searching for newlines and such, but it doesn’t look like it does full regex.

This is the first I’ve heard of EditPadLite. From a cursory examination of their site, it appears to be written with the same general design philosophy as Metapad, albeit not as low profile. I’ll give it a tentative thumbs up.
The EditPadLite download is 18mb. My copy of Metapad is 190k. Small and fast.

Back in the old Web 1.0 days I used to label my websites “Coded by Notepad.exe”.
Well, you couldn’t pay me to use today’s Notepad. But Metapad fills that gap perfectly.

I have a laptop still running Win10. I’ll look into this. Thx.

I will try that! Actually, I’ve accidentally done that shit in Prod. I connected our 10g and our 1g networks with a virtual switch in a Proxmox server. I undid it shortly after that, but it caused a network storm that impacted customers in 2 datacenters.

Everyone had Doom, because it was shareware. You could play the first 7 levels or some shit for free. Given that most people died well before that, it was a pretty good deal. Doom was on every computer.
Much respect to your old man passing the torch. Game on, friend.

Hmm. This is what mine looks like.

Fiber is unidirectional. The long run shit has two cables, for up and down. The graphic was supposed to show one of those two cables being cut. (I don’t think it shows that very well.)

You either have tonsil stones or a chronic sinus issues. Talk to an actual doctor.

Edit: But in answer to your question … the smell is bacteria that your sneeze has stirred up.
Tonsil stones are basically piles of bacteria. Chronic sinus infections are more bacteria. Those are the two most likely sources.
