To be fair, modern OSes are quickly catching up in this regard. WASM is also increasingly available for use as a native sandbox. Examples: ( https://github.com/WAVM/WAVM ) ( https://github.com/bytecodealli

I can't speak to Windows but at least on Linux that's entirely determined by your desktop environment and terminal emulator. For example, KDE offers near complete configurability of keyboard shortcuts including the ability to spec

Just FYI, Desoxyn is literally a trade name for methamphetamine (so much for obscure). Also if that surprised you at all, Adderall is (more or less) the same thing minus a single carbon from the end. Amazing the difference in outcomes when

I agree that the potential for making mistakes could contribute to a social problem, but it's one that already exists. I also wasn't proposing to solve it - hence my earlier response.

You should be able to find an appropriate one for your purposes somewhere in here ( https://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page ). Befunge and PATH come to mind.

What complex social problem? All I see are a few technical problems regarding security, anonymity, and interrelations between nodes on a graph. There's also a closely related ease of use (ie UX) problem regarding the convenience (or ra

I hadn't really thought it through honestly. I'm just assuming that if an anonymized publishing service with a low barrier to entry exists that people will find creative ways to misuse it. Semi-related Google Drive usage: ( https:

That's definitely true, but depending on the usecase it might not matter all that much. Also, that problem already applies to an anonymous blog anyway! Consider the usage of semi-anonymous accounts on HN or Reddit or wherever. There&#x

I really liked it as well. Most systems are more functional in one way or another these days but somehow nothing ever seems to achieve a look and feel on par with XP (IMO). It was a sad day when regular security updates for it stopped.

The trouble with that is that once you post something to it you can never associate it with yourself (even accidentally!) or deanonymization of everything else posted by that identity will also occur. Half baked idea: A decentralized and pr

Without any actual data to hand I would also guess that infections would skew towards people who come into frequent contact with others as part of their job. If true, it would make taking precautions at, for example, the grocery store all t

GNU coreutils env supports a flag for it since 8.30 which translates to Debian 10 & Ubuntu 19.04. Not a perfect solution, but it appears to allow portability across the vast majority of modern OSes?

4 TB drives are now commonly well under $100 (I've seen them as low as $70) and many Micro-ATX and NUC boards have 4+ SATA connectors. Btrfs has CoW, subvolumes, snapshots, and data integrity features. For the physical device at least,

I'd go so far as to argue that the 4th amendment ought to be amended to apply to such data. Such customer records may have been sensitive in the past, but they've become far more personal and all encompassing.

Yes it ought to. Unfortunately the current logic seems to be (approximately) that by voluntarily using a third party system the data is no longer your personal property. The obvious issue with this is that (for example) it seems to treat a
