There can and should be such a thing as a free lunch.
DEAR GOD, DON'T LET WINDOWS REWRITE ITSELF AROUND UCS-16 IN THE BELIEF THAT 65535 CODEPOINTS OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH FOR ANYBODY.
JUST GO STRAIGHT TO UTF-8 AND FUCK OFF WITH THIS WCHAR BULLSHIT
cat'ing some binary shouldn't hork my shit. It shouldn't.
1. Find Dennis Ritchie. Explain to him about how memory safety is going to kill us. Put Rust style unsafe { } in early C.
2. Make IPv4 addresses wider out of the gate. Prevent NAT from being invented.
3. In-band signalling for terminals via ANSI escape codes? NO! OUT OF BAND SIGNALLING. DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

I want to resolve some shit without ever disclosing my queries to a network middle man and without having special tools or foreknowledge.
"Go to https://1.1.1.1 and type what you want to resolve" would be a great way for that to work.
On one hand, it's sick as hell that https://1.1.1.1 has a valid certificate.
On the other hand, it'd be nice if it let me do dns over https right there immediately???
sonic mania??? what's next... ....... sonic depression
I think I'm pretty much done with btrfs. I've used it for several years and I like the features, but I've hit enough totally unnecessary data corruption that I'm gonna stop.
