Chips and Dips, along with early Slashdot, had a bunch of Malda's personal links. Duckpins was an animation he made as an undergrad. He also linked a personal site for a couple of Windowmaker plugins that he'd written. I can't remember what the plugins were! I do remember that most plugins were mail notifiers or clocks.

I have huge affection for these beasts. I cut my teeth in High School on a DEC PDP11/70 and AT&T SysV, and a little RSTS/E in 1979-82. We switched systems by loading different cakelid platters into the washing-machine drives, and toggling the magenta keys.

I've thought about the Blinkenlights 7/10 scale emulator, tha uses an RPi, but I envy you and hope you have fun.

I wish you well, and try not to take the demise of this broken world so hard. The tree with these roots couldn't ever produce other fruits, despite our kind and generous fantasies of the 90's.

It's been a good 20 years or more we were friended here on Slashdot. I wonder what so many of those like Fidel Catsro, (H)elix1, SolemnDragon, CaptainSplendid, CyranoVR, and so many others have gone on to,

You can always find me on fediverse, tho' I am present only in bursts. @KingTherapy@jorts.horse - with all the commies and shit-posters.

Total garbage. This is a typical New Delhi TV article with a broad anti-China slant. The single source is from an "interview" on Jennifer Zeng's blog. Zeng is a well-known "human rights activist" actually a Falun Gong cultist, who has manufactured and juiced-up numerous bogus stories about China over the last 20 years. This is the sort of story that excites QAnon cultists and the rest of the Epoch News crowd, for whom Alex Jones is still a guilty pleasure.

Watch the great VMware Product Manager and Engineering exodus. GCP is hiring like CRAZY to build an operations framework and infrastructure stack that costs less and simpler to operate. Then there's Amazon Outpost, for the on-prem diehards. It'll take a couple years, because changing ops is hard, but there is the direction for enterprises.
