What we would lose if the forum disappeared.

welcome to the latest rabbithole linkfest adventure.

here we see rich and juanito patiently instructing xor:
(you will note 3 pages over 2.5 years and that the student
is using google translation to read and reply on the forum)
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22802.0.html
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22802.50.html
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22802.100.html

reference rich's post:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22802.msg162577.html#msg162577

and rich's FetchExt.sh script thread:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23034.0.html

there we see rich providing more indepth instructions and the
student noting some errors in the script(which rich corrected).

(sidenote: we know rich is human because a machine would have
caught "Dispaly" already, or not mis-keyed it originally, lol).

anywho, back to the fun!

see doctoranonymous post:

and...further down the rabbithole we fall with a "shebang":
https://www.google.com/search?q=en.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FShebang_(Unix)

enjoyed this one:
https://dev.to/meleu/what-the-shebang-really-does-and-why-it-s-so-important-in-your-shell-scripts-2755

and the above commentary on the shebang also linked to:
(note that this email was originally written in 1980!)
https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/4.0BSD_newsys_sys1.c.html

and then from that page we followed a link to:
https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/index.html
(you might spend years following all those links and sub-links...whew!)

one more from the comments section of that "what-the-shebang" piece:

First of all, let me explain why I am trying so eagerly and patiently to run Steam.

The topic was never actually "steam"!
I actually see "steam" as an effort to break an existing monopoly.

yes, I am aware that there is no philosophical slogan.
moreover, in many ways it can be very contrary to minimalism.

when I come across TCLinux topics in local forums in my country, everyone perceives TCL as a linux alternative only for lightweight systems; Unfortunately, I guess that's how everyone sees TCL in almost all local language forums.

Here is how to overcome this mistake; this is an attempt to show everyone that there is actually a heavyweight boxer operating system in the middle.

performance of operating systems.
If they reveal with game FPS benchmark comparisons;

It's time to put on a show.

my goal is a pc with a usb in a high end gaming pc in the showroom

-0- within 30 seconds after an operating system installation
launching a Steam game

and it can be to change the whole world's point of view in an instant

Let's see if google translate can translate this article correctly

Is there a concern of the forum disappearing?  i.e. a specific need or deadline - or - just a musing look back over the interesting posts of yore?
