Yet older: it was about 1996, I was at school. Some people from the computer lab liked to show themselves as the ones who knew everything. So I used to edit the command.com file and include a reboot instruction right at the beginning of it (I always had a backup on the same folder).

Then it was just to call the know-it-all people to solve why the "computer was not working". They used to see that, look at my face as if that was obvious, reboot and press F5 to skip autoexec.bat.And.. boot again.

Another one: moving key caps around on the keyboard. Again, every time someone had to use my computer, I almost could feel/hear their frustration and despair while trying to type the correct letters.

Stupid things I used to do when I was young: take a screenshot with lots of opened programs and set it as wallpaper.

Then every time I got away from the computer at work, I just minimized everything and staid far from it looking some people trying to move things around on the screenshot.

Something I would like to do someday: hosting something from my home. Not a VPN, not a server somewhere. O physical computer or virtual machine hosting something only for my own usage, of course.

I finally encrypted my e-mails on the server. Now all the emails are saved encrypted on server.

Now I just need to think about something as this for the Nextcloud.

I didn't know this text about the History of the browser user-agent string, but it made me laugh.

It would be really nice if FOSS software could identify Gemini links, at least for an easy copy and paste. Specially on mobile.

Why browsers start using swap when there are still 3GB of free RAM?

Well, I decided to learn some Go first, as it appears to be simple, and than I will learn some Rust or even C.

This will probably give me a better structure as the last time I touched a compiled language was in 97~98.
